Who goes into the WWE HOF first: Bruce Pritchard or Brother Love?

If I am guessing, he goes in as both.

Hope you’ve had a good week.  It’s been tough trying to find something to ask about other than Crown Jewel.  The closer it gets, the more it pisses me off.

I get it.  Totally.  WWE sending people there to help make their fourth quarter number is sickening to me.

The women’s title match on Smackdown was……something.  I know it takes two to tango in the ring, but I don’t need to see anything involving a Bella twin ever again.  I’ve read that WWE has been happy with what they’ve seen from Nikki Bella;  How low are their standards?

That match was so, so bad.  I felt sorry for both of them.  I appreciate all that Nikki has accomplished in the business and there is definitely a place for her in WWE, but Title bouts is not that place.

I’m normally not a fan of “ seasonal segments “ as they are usually too goofy for my tastes.  But I have to say, the Danhausen/Gunther/Demon segment was pretty entertaining.  Danhausen and the Mini-hausens got smoked, which was appropriate and seeing the Demon is always cool.  Did you like it? 

I did not, but it’s more a me thing I am guessing.  I don’t want Gunther anywhere near comedy.  I don’t want Danhausen to be the reason why Finn Balor brings back The Demon.  I didn’t like it at all.

I can’t get invested in any of Tiffany’s cash-in attempts.  It seems inevitable that she cashes in on Chelsea Green.  Do you think since they’ve previously mentioned that women’s cash-ins have been 100% successful, is it time to break that streak and have Tiffany fail?

I can’t get into it either, for that reason and the fact that Tiffany comes across like a moron when she runs out ready to cash in and then doesn’t cash in.  I would guess that they are doing it so that when she catches Chelsea vulnerable and cashes in, it will be a shocker.  To me, it will be a shocker like when Seth Rollins cashed in on Punk, overdone.  Given how badly they have booked Chelsea?  Yes, I would have her find a way to win but I don’t feel like what’s left of Paul Levesque’s booking mind will do that.

I guess Tatum Paxley’s push is following the usual pattern of starting of strong, then getting pulled back.  I know Jade is higher in the pecking order, but she’s gone from a strong debut, to a brief title reign and now starting to eat losses.  Am I over analyzing or is this just pattern recognition?

I find your take spot on.  It’s the reason why so many new talents aren’t getting over.  Hopefully Shawn Michaels can help change that.  He has cultivated a lot of the new talents so hopefully he can get more out of them than Levesque is getting.
