GLOW was really good with the exception of episode 8 or 9 in season 1. Good character development but could have been achieved otherwise. Evil Genius - that was beyond bizarre. The Staircase - a little dry but informative.

Any services similar to WWE Network that these can be seen on? I don't have cable so I don't follow the show itself, only clips here and there.

<p>What was the other pre-show?</p><p> </p><p> Also, what would the reaction have been if Lashley/Reigns was the main event and Lashley won (As he did)?</p>

I'd love to see 205 Live be built up as an equal to NXT.

So on the network does the UKCT start with Gibson vs. Gallagher?

But it still builds great to the TakeOver events because there's time between them.</p>

Was it really a bust though? May not have hurt Punk financially, but Cabana certainly felt it by his own admission. Not petty/bullying - it's what corporations can (and usually) do when they are the ones suing.

For the billion dollars they paid, they must have something in mind.

<p>For the World title why not have the champ alternate? Meaning:</p><p> </p><p> Rich Money is the World Champion and on Brand A.</p><p> January? He faces a challenger from Brand A. Then in February someone from Brand B. This gives you time to build someone up on either brand to face him.</p><p> </p><p> You can co-brand the two big events. Or if they fall in a way where they can alternate give each brand one.</p><p> </p><p> Keep one event per month for the company (alternating brands).</p>

<p>Fox officially lands SmackDown for Friday nights.</p><p> </p><p> <a href="https://www.thewrap.com/wwe-smackdown-fox-broadcast-fridays-fall-2019/" rel="external nofollow">https://www.thewrap.com/wwe-smackdown-fox-broadcast-fridays-fall-2019/</a></p>

<p>Why not pair him up with Rich Money and find a creative way to split them off when he's over enough?</p><p> </p><p> Could even end by turning Money (or Cage) face after a big betrayal.</p>

The age issue never crossed my mind to be honest. What was his safety rating? Could have been a fluke, right?

Couldn't train him up in development or bring in local talent for him to beat until his safety is up?

Are we going to get the equivalent to the Bret in Canada spot when Goldberg speared him and knocked himself out (due to the metal plate) in the Styles vs. Nakamura feud? Sure seems to be headed that way. Don't mind the finish because it follows the story, and Roman has been getting roasted by Joe (after getting punked by Lesnar and losing at WM). So whatever. Would love to see a heel turn where he basically throws the fans under the bus to make sure they don't cheer him.

Didn't Reigns tap on that first submission attempt? Regardless, a wholly enjoyable PPV from top to bottom.

<p>I can see why McMahon went after the territories when I play as USPW. Tag champs in another company? Sure, come on over. Top women characters somewhere? Yes please. Someone who is talented but may get lost in the shuffle? Sure!</p><p> </p><p> Took a few people from COTT companies, some from the women's companies (then went into an alliance with them).

While the WM match was a finisher fest, I did find the physicality entertaining. Horses for courses.

So 3 Way match at Summerslam where Brock doesn't get pinned just to troll people? Only saw part of the event yesterday, will see the rest today.

Fantastic! Should have crawled under the ring and come out the other side.

Closest was Rollins but that turned it into a 3 way.

I would like to see the holder of that call their shot (like RVD did way back when). Even if it isn't against a particular champ, but say "I'm using it for _______ PPV" or do something shocking like use it the same night like Kane did. Otherwise there's all this 'suspense' for something that's already tired: Grueling match for champion, cash in, title change. Or they win the briefcase and then lose it somehow (why would you put it on the line to begin with?).

What they should do is have one case - 3 women from Raw, 3 from Smackdown (or 4 and 4 if you can do it in a match). And whenever the person cashes in they're on that show (e.g. Carmella cashes in on Nia Jax, she's on Raw now, or she can cash in on SD and stay there).
