I've wondered if the 90 day thing is to help prevent another Montreal Scewjob situation. It's been a minute, but if I recall Brett had a very favorable contract (big guaranteed $$, creative control, etc.) and that kinda gave way to the situation where he could have taken the WWF belt to WCW, a la Alundra Blayze.
All things being equal, I'd rather meet Jimmy Hart.Geralt of Rivia said:
A friend of mine went there a couple of weeks ago and met Jimmy Hart. He apparently had missed seeing Goldberg there by a couple of days

Yeah let's fire Mickie James and bring Eva Marie back
Probably much cheaper, though.
Yea but ask .. who pays to see Eve .. anyone?!?Texan_Aggie said:

I rather they brought back Emma or keep Mickie or even Maria (if she actually wrestle)... hell I rather watch the IIconics instead of the mess that is Eve Marie.
The IIconics were some of the most entertaining women wrestlers in WWE. Definitely the most entertaining tag team when they were together, IMO.
From a business standpoint I still don't understand why they dump folks who are popular and keep pushing people who no one really wants to see.

Is Bliss ever going to wrestle again, or just sit on a swing and talk to a doll
Not sure what the long-term plan is there. She's one of the best singles performers they have, very entertaining. She's also done a really good job with this gimmick in my opinion. Would love to see her wrestling though.
That being said, she's kind of painted in a corner. She has demonic superpowers. She threw bolts of fire at Randy Orton. She took out the fiend. What kind of believable wrestling match is she going to have?
At this point they are going to have to pair her with somebody, have a theatrical match where they destroy each other and turn back into normal humans again. That's the way that they could logically bring her back to wrestle as a regular performer. Other than that, I suppose they could have her see the error of her ways and cast the demon out in some sort of born again angle.

They need someone like best friend Nikki Cross to cast the demon away.
It's just odd to me that they basically buried Bray Wyatt (again) and then gave his gimmick to Bliss
But then again this is the same company who fired Mickie James and the Iiconics only to bring back Eva Marie.

Problem is, nobody pays to see the three you mentioned either. Eve doesn't make sense to bring on, in my opinion. But, I do think its mutually exclusive with respect to the recent cuts.Ambres said:Yea but ask .. who pays to see Eve .. anyone?!?Texan_Aggie said:

That was the saddest thing for me w/ what happened to Bray at WM. Alexa has done great with the acting part of the gimmick, but it appears as if they just took his entire creation that he spent 2 years building and then decided it'll work better on a hot piece of ass instead.
The direction of that entire storyline is garbage. Only read updates since WM as I'm not watching the product and have no intention to any time soon.

Let Bray go back to being Bray.
They'll probably just have her get set on fire or something, then move her to Smackdown and pretend nothing happened
The Alexa stuff is an example one of my biggest pet peeves with WWE right now - I feel like every Raw and SD episode is a rerun and the matches are the same every week. Then, there are superstars who just cut promos and don't wrestle for seemingly 6 months. Mix it up more, its boring.
I fully expect for about 12 months of "Eva-Lution".

Maybe the Eva-lution will be as short lived as Emmalina...
Anyone else think Indi Hartwell is hot?
No? Just me?
Okay.

She's aight. She looks okay without makeup, cute with it.
Caught up with NXT and Theory asking Scarlett "Are those real?" had me cracking up.
According to Twitter, Daniel Bryan is now a free agent. Could be a huge get for AEW to grab him and Samoa Joe
I can't believe WWE chose Eva over Daniel Bryan!!!
A friend of mine who pays way more attention thinks he may go do a world tour style indie run, compete in japan etc.
I wonder if he can use AEW as leverage. He wants to wrestle in different promotions, so he could basically tell WWE "Hey, I can do part-time with WWE if you let me wrestle in other promotions. If not, I'll just go to AEW where they will let me do that".Bunk Moreland said:

The first 15-20 mins of blood n guts match was insane. Great energy n spots. Love orange Cassidy angle w omega, but not sure how he gets past pac. AEW is making waves and if wwe keeps trotting out the same tired crap every week, we may see the wars 2.0
Blood and Guts was awesome but my God the commercial breaks were driving me crazy. Also the finish looked ridiculous with the cardboard.
Yes, yes it did haha

So the first hour was taped weeks ago, "went long", and the blood and guts match had to be shortened.
How the hell your taped stuff "goes long"? You edit stuff out to make 100% sure your live match the night was built around has plenty of time.
