Charlotte is the albatross of the women's division. You ever notice how much better the division got when she wasn't around?
Honestly, she's like Triple H during the Reign of Terror. She humiliates or denigrates the person she's feuding with, she gets no comeuppance, she beats them clean as a whistle, and the other person is just stuck floundering. Also like Triple H during the Reign of Terror, she's an instant channel changer that adds nothing to the show.

Shit, somehow I never saw it until now. Have to wait for her to cut her hair short and then she'll start to mellow out.

Does Miz need to change his wrestling look? That silver shower curtain looks tacky and I can't take him seriously dressed like that.
I liked the promo for what it was. The remark about the other show seemed to get no reaction and while the fired line feels accurate in a way, it's not actually his fault he got fired, chances are either Vince doesn't like JM very much or perhaps he wanted his release because his wife got fired and or he went to protest for her and they didn't appreciate it, so everyone going ape over that feels a bit strange. |

Maybe a little off-topic, but...

I'm watching USA Network today, as they run a Chicago PD marathon, and I see occasional promos for Monday Night Raw... but... at the end, the screen says, and the announcer says... tomorrow. Huh? I check a couple TV guides, since USA occasionally interrupts Raw for Dog Shows, or various sporting events, like the US Open (tennis)... nope. There it is... 8pm tonight, like always. Of course, I can't resist... I Tweeted at the USA Network & the WWE, and post on USA's FB page. But I also email Dave Scherer at pwinsider.com. His response? "Too funny." ... and they're still running the promo, asking viewers to tune in tomorrow night! Geez... wonder why their ratings suck. |

They have to balance out the way they usually treat their audience with some problem solving. Even if they get the lowest rating ever they'll still get their 5million bucks for it anyway. They must feel they have almost no incentives for Raw viewing and are clearly favoring Smack. I watch Smack often and it's fairly pleasant to get through except for Sheamus who's as boring as ever and shite Corbin segments. I didn't mind Corbin when he was portrayed as poor but this happy gimmick is clearly some weird shit out the 1930s or something and Vince is the only one who likes it.

Congrats to Geoff Harvey, instead a whispering in the wind, he successfully faked three sheets to the wind.

For me, the only reason for AEW to bring in Jeff is to have the Hardys together to wrestle as a tag team. I think they've already danced with the Bucks and FTR, so the only new 'dream match' would be against the Lucha Bros. God help us if that involved ladders...
One problem with all this would be the current character arc that Matt is in, he's got himself a bit of a gang in the HFO and just adding Jeff to that group doesn't really make sense. I suppose the most likely way out is a Hardys/Butcher+Blade match. |

It is no longer Toni Time in WWE. Her release was asked for and granted.
I'm surprised by how fast that happened, considering she was in a title match last week. But with how weird her time since leaving NXT UK has been, it's not surprising she's leaving. Should be an in-demand talent whenever she wants to pop up again. Smackdown takes a hit to the women's division that it can't really afford if they're going to stay away from Sasha/Charlotte for much longer. |

She saw the writing on the wall, maybe literally. Ain't getting to that Becky/Charlotte level anytime soon. She got out at the point where she thought this is as good as they're gonna give before getting totally buried for the sake of a laugh. If she goes to AEW she'll be seen as top contender. Makes sense you'd want to get yourself in there before it gets too crowded and established. When you've got Baker at the top, who is far from fully polished, another pretty face can easily rival her for that spot since Khan seems to prefer to have a pretty face in that spot? Toni isn't an utterly dreadful promo either so maybe unscripted she'll shine.

I'm good with her leaving. I want to see her flourish, not be stunted by WWE.
