If they go with the fans and make Tiffy a proper face and Charlotte heel that build will be incredible.

Meanwhile Rhea could face any one of Iyo, a returning Becky (or Asuka), Jax or Liv - less excited about the last two haha

Rhea vs Belair feels like the big money match really hasn't happened since they both joined the main rosters.

People losing money in a crypto investment isn’t anywhere close to the line of outrage for me

So what, it took less than 2 weeks for everyone to become ok with transphobia again?
 
Would genuinely like to hear how you would book the Women's Rumble winner and subsequent WM women's title matches.

Charlotte the right choice IMO for WM. Yes others are better wrestlers, and some need a push, but there is no other name with the clout to sell a WM title match than Charlotte.

This is probably to the WWE's detriment that, other than Rhea, they haven't built any other woman to her level.
RR this year was not the right time to start, especially when you're already doing that with Jey in the Men's RR.



Can't think of a better match-up for Rhea. No reason they shouldn't do this again.
I did not claim to be a booker, nor do I need to be to disagree with Charlotte winning.

You basically said "Charlotte deserved to win, and any one who disagrees with her doing so, is wrong". I disagree greatly with that.

They don't need clout to sell the main event match. It's Wrestlemania ffs. You could throw two half dead chihuahuas in a ring and people would watch it because its Wrestlemania.

She's been out 14 months. She's not had a single match, nor done anything with anyone on screen in that time.
She doesn't need the win. And the general consensus so far has been that the vast majority of fans didn't want to see her win... again. If anything, it will turn that match into a pissbreak for a lot of long time fans.

It's just typical Charlotte booking. Her entire career she has been given random title shots and big wins out of nowhere, when people were absolutely sick of seeing her in every main event. It's the same issue I have with Mercedes Mone, she does nothing for months and then just walks into title shots and wins. It's boring, and sucks for the people who have busted their guts for the last year trying to earn a spot.

And if they haven't built enough stars as you claim, then the right time IS after a rumble win to help make a name.
Not just go, "Oh well, maybe next year." and give a throw away win to Flair.
 
Well compared to Shahid Khans human rights record, I’d suggest wrestling has bigger morality issues then what Logan Paul says.

Look it up is all I’ll say

You're still trying to suggest that 2 wrongs make a right.

Your whataboutism is pointless - you don't ignore one prick cos you think someone else (who is only tangentially related to a company) is worse. Grow up.

You started the whataboutism when comparing Paul to Vince. Npw you crying against it cos it backfired on you You can't attack one without being concerned about the other though.

I haven't heard one issue with Khan's slavery issues....

It was pretty funny that there were 2 rules in place for the "surprise" entrance, and sooo many people ignored the first one!

Let's call a "surprise" someone who 1) hasn't wrestled on WWE tv for the last 12 months (including NXT - So Hendry and Grace would not be considered surprises), and 2) hasn't been announced (so Flair wouldn't count)


Anyway, congrats on the win Cleavy & WAbulldog who both had 3 correct selections out of 8. (I ruled Alexa Bliss a surprise entrance based on 1) it being two years since she's appeared, and 2) recent dirtsheet reports.)

Ry009 do you think maybe we could get them the board badge? I didn't ask you beforehand.

Turns out I don't know how to insert tables, so here's a screen shot!

Definitely a surprise winner for the men though I don't see Jey Uso's match being the Sunday main event. Could even be the 4th or 5th most important angle by the time it happens (other men's championship, big stars who don't win Elimination Chamber, 2 women's championships).

I don't think you know what that means.

In fact, based on your usage of it, I know that you don't
 
Jey gets his WM title match. I don't mind it.
But we've missed the chance to go big with Gunther. Look at his title defences.

Other than Orton, where are the big names?
Perfect chance for a Rollins or Punk match. They could've been classics.

Or maybe there's another swerve from WWE, and Jey is going after Cody instead?!
Set up a revenge angle for Roman and the Bloodline. I'm sure it's on a whiteboard or mind-map somewhere.
A face Jey and heel Cody would be a really interesting dynamic.

I am so horrible at this predicting thing. I got 0 didn't even get close to getting 1 right.
 
Priest makes sense to piss Drew off considering he cashed in the MITB on Drew at Mania and now has cost Drew a title shot at Mania.
I completely forgot about this, but they can have an interesting continuation of their feud. I think they fought a couple of times but Punk cost him the match or something. The feud would be around Priest actually being able to beat Drew one on one.

I don't really want to see Jey face Gunther again. Just have him challenge Cody, it opens up a heap of stories. Have Cena win Elimination Chamber and face Gunther at WrestleMania and lose. If Jey is going to win a World title then his best chance is going to be Gunther.

Punk vs Rollins vs Reigns would be good too and doesn't need a title.

Anyone else noticed Cena looked pretty slow? I think he's made the right call to finish up.
