HHH fucked up by not giving Lyra tv time to build her up

shes great in the ring but never got a chance to connect w/ the fans enough for them to care about her since they keep taking her off tv. Its like everytime she started turning the corner they took her off tv or put her w/ Carter & Chance against Stud Line instead of letting do her thing solo

before aaaalll that they had her set up to where it was looking like Becky was gonna eventually pass the torch to her. They should of kept her momentum up n so she could be a fresh challenger for Liv and potentially go over

Y'all kill me with the stud line. It's looking like they're giving up on them, I don't think they've been on tv the past 2 weeks or I just didn't see them.

That’s why RAW is better off being 2:30 to 3 hours when they move to Netflix

Nah those 3 have a shelf life. None of them have any charisma to keep putting focus on them

that change to 2 hrs is whats got a lot of ppl missing out on tv time

i kno they cant wait for january

Did RAW switch to 2 hours already? 3 always felt too long for me, but on Netflix I wouldn't mind it if they go the route of the late 90s sorta. I remember during the second hour of RAW, the title changed to RAW IS WAR on my cable guide. The show didn't necessarily become any different, but they could play off that in the future with one of the three hours mainly featuring promos and midcard-lower card that they hope move up the roster.

yea it been two hours for bout a month or so now i wanna say

I didnt mind it going to two hours before but now i see what that does. Theyve gotten way too big for it to ever be that again honestly

only way to do it is to either add another show or cut a bunch of ppl & i dont see them doing cuts like they used to do under Vince so i think it will float around between 3 hrs and 2:30 like Ro was saying since they will have the flexibility to decide how long the shows need to be on netflix and wont be getting cut off

 

[TonyDubbz]

Seeing HBK in the NWO was already weird as shit. Idk how it would of been if HHH joined but they said in the comments that if Nash didnt tear his quad then thats what was in the plans

Book who you have better?? Gimme 5 women currently on that RAW roster right now not...named Rhea...you ACTUALLY see as a title holder. You gonna name Iyo of course. So you want Iyo to have a title just to put one on her then? Ok say if they do...then what? Other than her feud wit Bayley...it'll be another title reign that I'm sure a lot of folks don't really remember. And I'm a HUGE Iyo fan.

And what indication do you think they're gonna wrap Liv/Rhea up by Survior Series or SME?? Now if they slot Baequel in Liv's spot IF she dropped the title b4 WM...I'm cool with that. B/c there still a story there. But RAW doesn't have a deep women's roster man. Which is why they need to continue with this feud wit Liz as champ.

I'm not the booker. Its Hunter's job to make people credible lol You can take Lyra, Iyo, Shayna, Zoey and Kairi and just book them as viable contenders on the roster. You dont take most the women seriously and thats HHH's fault. That is a direct result of this Liv / Rhea feud hurting the division.

And you're underselling Iyo's reign cause she was a ratings draw who beat out Bloodline segments numerous times. Theres people online who wanna see IYO back in the title scene putting.

The worst part about this Liv / Rhea feud is that once she comes back she gotta go through Raquel FIRST lmao throw the shit in the trash at this point

But...but...Dave LaGreca said they pulled the trigger too fast wit Swerve vs Shelton and Bobby's debut tho.

 

[Loneshot]

Bobby in AEW is game changer for me. I'm definitely going to start following AEW more now. WWE is dumb for letting Lashley of all people just walk like he was nothing.

 

[Black_Samson]

Am I buggin or does it look like Maxine has better legs than Stacey?!

 

[Chi-Town B]

So the first thing they do is beat up another black man

Who they tried to recruit off the bat but Strickland aint a hoe and wasn't going for it.

 

[Iceberg_Taylor]

They gotta belt up Bobby but I dont see how they get there cause this Mox / BCC takeover is gonna be awhile. And either Darby or OC will be the one to dethrone him.

Alexa Bliss imposter scams elderly man out of a million dollars

This, per a new article by The New York Times.

www.cagesideseats.com

As reported by The Times, 79-year-old Alfred Mancinelli, who died last summer, was conned out of $1 million, including his granddaughter’s college fund, by the fake Bliss and others. The story states that Mancinelli thought he was in a romantic relationship with the former women’s champion. When Mancinelli’s son, Chris, tried moving his father’s last $100,000 to a safe account, his father sued him.

“There was nothing we could do to convince him,” Chris told The Times.

Earlier this year, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce issued a message to fans on X regarding such hoaxes. Said Pearce, “If you have given money online to the likes of “Jay Usso”, “Seth Rollens”, etc., I feel for you. I’m sorry that you got duped, but I can’t help. Whatever job duties you believe I have, police work isn’t one of them. Don’t give strangers money online. This has been an AP PSA.”

Big test for Tony to give Bobby and the faction credible opponents after feuding with Swerve
