can they go a few years without going back to Florida, i know its good weather but they need to have a northern wrestlemania, having every mania in the south (except this upcoming one) for like 7 years straight is beyond old. They were meant to have it in Minnesota years ago (in fact it would have been a perfect time to do so, who knows how many more main events Brock will have).

Saw Fighting with my Family first time I had been to a theater in about 10 years. Decent movie
nothing to enlightening though I guess Vince Vaughn is supposed to be Bill Demott.

As she alluded to at the end, but I'm not so sure it's heel work. I think she was legit hurt at the boo's. I think she's legit hurt at the fact becky get's cheered and she doesn't. I think it bothers her that she gets the **** beat of her to try and earn people's respect and feels she isn't getting it. I'm not so sure she's "happy" with where her career in WWE is at, even though this heel turn is spectacular and she's killing it. I think she wants to come out and just be cheered and respected. She referneces match of the night with Charlotte, and it was, but I'm not sure if she's proud of it if she isn't the one getting cheered or going over. Shes made it interesting I'll give her that.

That's not exactly how biopics work.

Does Ronda think she's going to get heat for trashing LA Sports fans in a hilarious way we all know is true? Who's next, Boston? She'd be the biggest face in the company.

I don't buy any of this Ronda crap to be honest. It's all a work, not a shoot at all. The WWE doesn't need her at all, so her saying "I can go rogue, I can go off script any time I want and they can't do anything about it" yadda yadda...it's like, really? I don't buy it for one second. She's a terrible actress, an okay wrestler, and terrible on the mic. The women's division hasn't improved with her on it, the Raw Women's title has dropped in value with her as champ in my opinion. None of this crap that she spews about I'm breaking kayfabe because I don't care....lol come on. Don't get played people. :lol:
Kobe Bryant was asked who he feels is the toughest opponent to guard in the NBA. Instead of picking OKC's Kevin Durant, Bryant went with Portland’s Brandon Roy.

And now the Good Brothers are leaving the WWE... they've turned down new contracts and plan to leave
when they expire which I think is in September.

I had totally forgotten about Gallows and Anderson until I heard this news

WWE main roster tag division is just the worst. So many talented teams they never do anything with.

If you're a tag team without also having individual singles potential, no idea why you'd sign with WWE at this point.

Very interesting. The Good Brothers didn't have any of the cool factor (I assume) they had in New Japan. They weren't given anything to work with right from the beginning, but they also appeared to be mailing in the crap they were given. I definitely don't blame them for not getting over, but they didn't do that thing that great wrestlers do: make the most of a terrible a terrible situation.

Kind of hard to get over when you're never on TV. :lol:

Anyway, they're a team that needs to be a part of a faction. They're a solid tag team, but neither guy is a particularly great promo or overly charismatic. They were fine when they had Styles leading them, even if their booking never let us take them seriously (Reigns destroyed them by himself like forty different times). They sank when they were separated from him and thrown into the deep end without any sort of plan other than Vince thinking it's funny in 2017/18 to call people nerds.

Incoming WWE tag team title run.

Seriously though, I blame WWE 100% for that, they were the best tag team in the world coming into the WWE, for them to stuff it up that badly is unbelievable. You don't expect wrestlers to work miracles, this is the most creatively bankrupt WWE has ever been, no one, absolutely no one, can get over unless you have the freedom to do so (Lynch being a great example). Unless you're AJ Styles, you're not getting over with current constrictions.

I don't think they're going back to New Japan though (the whole reason they left New Japan in the first place was to be back in the states because Karl Anderson wanted to be closer to home and his family and not have to go to Japan for tours as much). I'd say AEW is highly likely given the Bullet Club connection (and i think Anderson has a big role in The Young Bucks having being in New Japan in the first place). Though i'd be lying if i said i didn't want them back in New Japan (especially with the way Bullet Club has gone back to roots).

To be honest, i am a bit shocked, i thought they had settled for mediocrity with their careers and where willing to just wait for an offscreen role. At least with these two, hopefully they have a few more years in wrestling.

I'd love to see Finn follow in truth (his WWE career...... he's never getting above the mid card ever again, let him go back to New Japan perhaps and at least get some singles gold).

Looks like she's having the time of her life being a heel now

Ha! That's awesome, I hope so. I genuinely hope she is enjoying it. If so, kudos on a Beleiveable heel turn, she's killed it the last month or so.
