I'm short on words here. I'll admit to being such a fanboy that I was shaking just a bit after meeting her. And I look like a Muppet in this pic. But totally worth it.

Since it is your birthday ... Congratulations on meeting her.

There been discussions in WWE today that they are in attempt to in association through ROH that they are trying to do the same thing with Global Force Wrestling and impact - ROH will have it's own show on Comet and what they are thinking and with Comet's Network Blessing - is to merge

ROH + NXT and that would make a brand looks great.

This way WWE can dump the Cruiserweight Division for good and it's belt. Comet will host a two hour show late night Friday from 11pm to 1am for that alone - or move it on Prime-Time television from 8pm to 10pm and/or 10pm to Midnight. They are thinking of the 10pm to Midnight time slot.

I don't know anything else but the prospect of ROH and WWE NXT working together and they could be a dynamic faction.

Another rumor, I've don't think it is true or not ... a dear friend told me that Vince is thinking of getting rid of Smackdown and making RAW it's only show and keeping it a three hour show and returning with once a month WWE Saturday Night Main Event on USA and that's will be a one hour Clash of the Champions type show and this is a brainchild of Shane McMahon to win back fans and all. They are thinking of cost-cutting and getting rid of dead-weight wrestlers.

Potentially, 20 wrestlers could be laid off.

WWE Smackdown is becoming a TNA Exile Paradise! ... I don't watch RAW anymore ... Just Smackdown.

I'm totally turned off by TNA and don't watch LUCHA UNDERGROUND anymore.

ROH ... Ring Of Honor ... Once in a Blue Moon.

This the worst match of the year!

[secondwhiteline]

So the prevailing rumor from guys like Meltzer right now is that Asuka's actually gonna be challenging Charlotte at Mania, leading to keeping Asuka and Ronda on separate shows for a full year, ultimately leading to a literal MAIN EVENT of Asuka and Ronda next Mania. I mean, a lot of things might get in the way, specifically if Ronda just doesn't get over like they're expecting, but holy crap. That's a huge idea if true.

[packerbacker180]

I think that makes more sense as Asuka vs Charlotte is much more interesting. I mean, I love Alexa Bliss. She's hot as hell and she's got the whole heel act down pat, but does anyone think she'd be able to beat Asuka? Plus, I would think from a buildup standpoint, Bliss vs Nia Jax makes more sense, and is there really anyone on Smackdown that would make for a compelling WM match vs Charlotte? At least one we haven't seen before? All of Smackdown is kind of a mess anyway and moving Asuka there would add some viewers I would bet. And then a whole year of buildup toward next year would make for an epic match if Ronda can hold her own.

[secondwhiteline]

Yeah, all of Charlotte's best potential matchups are faces like Becky or Naomi. I mean, Ruby Riott's a really good wrestler, but she hasn't gotten to look strong at all since the call-up.

And I've gotten so sick of Alexa, or at least her booking. She gets to squash everyone and tear into them on the mic and basically make them look like geeks. Asuka ending that would be fitting, but Nia ending it might make a new star.

You sound like a Hugger, lol.

I think the record will show that I am the world's #1 Asuka fanboy. I have photographic proof.

But I like Bayley and think she could actually reach out into a demographic they haven't really ever tapped before. And that kendo stick match was such a huge burial. They're kind of doing something interesting with her right now, having her be the face that's tired of being taken advantage of by people she trusts. I don't know where it's gonna lead (I'm assuming it won't be like Crow Sting or anything), and it's going to require some delicate balance in the writing to make her look strong and sympathetic at the same time, but it could help revive her popularity if done right.
