35 Hypnotizing Ric Flair GIFs That Will Change Your Day, Life

 

I don't think I could handle more than 20 minutes of Roman Reigns.

So, SmackDown.... I'm confused about how to feel about looking at Carmella's boobers with Ellsworth's face stretched across them.

I'm really looking forward to Styles-Cena 3, but are they really continuing the Corbin main event push? Could he be a viable contender to win the Rumble?

Ambrose winning the IC title kinda cements him as an upper-midcarder for life. Kind of like Jericho. That's his spot, but he's believable if they need a short-term main event guy to shake things up.

But they might as well elevate Miz back to the world title picture, as he's the top heel, not Styles. Miz is absolutely hated in kayfabe, whereas Styles could be turned face in a heartbeat. The smarks will cheer no matter what, and the casuals will follow whatever The E wants them to.

Becky and Alexa need to part ways after the Rumble.

The Rumble could be another 4-5 hour show.
1. Rumble match 1 hour
2. Universal title match 20 minutes
3. World title match 30 minutes
4. IC title match 15 minutes
5. Raw Women's title match 15 minutes
6. SmackDown Women's title match 10 minutes
7. Raw Tag Team title match 15 minutes
8. SmackDown Tag Team title match 15 minites
9. Cruiserweight match (pre-show?) 10 minutes

Now add at least 5 minutes between each for video packages. And I would say match times don't include entrances.

 

Uhhhh.... did we miss The Slammys?

Seems that The E didn't do a 2016 version. What say you, marks of SJ.com?

Match of the Year? WWE: Styles-Cena 2 (SummerSlam). NXT: Sami vs Nakamura. WWE Women: WrestleMania triple threat.

Superstar of the Year: Ambrose

Rookie/Newcomer of the Year: Styles

Women's Superstar of the Year: Charlotte

Tag Team of the Year: New Day

Feud of the Year: Charlotte-Sasha or Styles-Cena

The rest of the awards are goofy and change every year.

 

"You're a journalist! Journalize!" -- The Miz

I take it that, since you joined this particular site, you have journalized at some point in your life. I have.

Talking Smack continues to be awesome. Pun intended.

 

I agree with Styles-Cena from Summerslam. The men's elimination match at Survivor Series and Fatal-4Way IC title match from, I believe, Extreme Rules deserve to be in the conversation, too.

I was in Dallas for the Zayn-Nakamura match. Absolutely electric. I've watched it back like a dozen times by now. No words. DIY vs. The Revival from Toronto is definitely up there, also.

Styles gets both Superstar and ROY, if you ask me.

Yep to New Day.

 

Naming A.J. Styles rookie of the year would be the most Vince McMahon thing ever.

 

This is the best promo Rusev has had yet. Just let the guy speak and not be a 21st century Ivan Drago, and he's got some character.

 

So Undertaker is in the Rumble, and they're teasing Stroman with him. Interesting.

HBK, meanwhile, was just there to crack some jokes, hype his movie and deliver a super kick. Eh.

 

Our long United States championship nightmare is over, for now.

 

Until next week, when they meet again.

 

So glad 20 minutes of my life was spent reenacting an NXT the talent show segment from 2010 to make a joke about an NFL gaffe from 2008.

 

Hence, the "for now."
