Kofi's also been in the WWE for over a decade and spent a lot of it in the tag division.

Kofi and Evan Bourne might have won them a few times as "Air Boom", Big E. might have won one with Ziggler
and I think Xavier has only won them in New Day.

For a second I thought Vince gonna hand over the reigns to Paul!

Some thoughts:

Miz and Morrison are surely going to break up as a tag team in one of the following episodes? Miz lost the titles and got pinned last night.

They're actually booking Tamina like a real danger for Bayley. Even though she's bad, at least there's that.

The missed a chance for a great story by not putting Gulak in the MITB match.

The videos about Triple H were nice. He really was a great comedy act. The Vince part was weird.

IIRC (without looking it up lol), kofi and CM Punk had the tag belts briefly as well

Never seen a 2nd tier star celebrated as much as HHH honestly. I mean he was good but he never was a top tier star and the time they tried to push him as one, he got an unfortunate tag line to it (the infamous 'reign of terror'). He got a bigger celebration that freaking Austin for crying out loud :lol:

He's kind of more available than Austin.

Just comparing it to Austin 3:16 day, they made a bigger deal out of this than Austin to be honest.

1.92 Million people and 0.2 rating, I haven't been paying that much attention to ratings recently but what the hell happened. I know there is no audience, then again any show that has THAT corbin vs bryan match deserves to get buried to be fair.

It is a sign that people have better things to do than watching wrestling, even there's a curfew

The "no audience" thing is a pretty big thing - and a good excuse. Otoh, AEW has been far more creative in this crazy time.

I haven't been watching wrestling at all lately, but I did catch last week's Dynamite and I agree the way they are handling it with the wrestlers creating a small but vocal crowd makes a big difference in how watchable the show is. It's still tough with no crowd but AEW at least came up with something of a work around.

WWE seems that they also have no intention to improve their shows.
It is more about the thing that they have to create shows otherwise the tv channel don't pay

They've been going through the motions for the better part of a decade now and most of their roster is just coasting and collecting a paycheck to begin with. I'm not sure Vince even has it in him to change at this point. He'll keep running things how he wants to until he either dies, retires, is forced out, or sells the company.

Mandy v Sonya has been a solid feud. I've enjoyed it more than any other women's feud going on right now. Put the title on one of them please. Bayley is so bland as champion.

The_Brecht · Post #1597 » by **The_Brecht** » Sat May 9, 2020 4:00 pm

I've been thinking and I must admit...the women's divison on Smackdown is pretty good at the moment.

There is the whole Mandy vs Sonja story, which has been very solid for months.
The whole Bayley/Sasha thing also has been going for months and I'm eager to see were it is going, because I really thaught this was going to be over by Wrestlemania.
I also like the Dana Brooke/Carmella angle. They're making the best of it and I wonder what it will lead to on sunday.

First wwe show since a long time with improved ratings!
