    Renee, in character, mentions how Ambrose may be listening to Ziggler's entreaties to leave the Shield.

    Graves then asks what is she implying, and that she may be starting internet conspiracy theories..

    Heh, heh.

    Ah yes, back when a wrestler could repeat Mexican slurs. Those were the days ...

    Liv Morgan was absolutely unconscious in the ring and they didnt stop the match. Gross.

    Liv and Let Knock Unconscious.

    Can't wait until the Brie vs. Nikki main event one day.

    Lot of debate about fault and Brie. Honestly I dont care. Accidents do happen.

    Whats worse is that the ref, Brie or so called ringside doctor took as long as they did to get her out. The sequence when shes ragdolled to the corner and cant tag out is disturbing. Like play in court when they get sued and claim theres precautions in place type of bad.

    If her neck was damaged or whiplashed and Brie just picks her up and drags her about, the potential injury is so much worse......for me what followed the botch was way harder to stomach than the botch itself

    Mistakes happen, which is why I won't kill Brie for the kicks, but the moving Liv around stuff is terrible.

    I wonder how much of it is today's wrestlers not being able to improvise on the fly. I know they have to follow a strict script for TV and PPVs, but I'd think, in that situation, Vince and Co. would allow a little leeway.

    Instead of pinning Liv after the kicks, Brie should have played to the crowd somewhat for a minute. If Liv is semi there, lock up, put her hands to your face and have her rake your eyes and have Liv tag out. Grab a headlock or armbar (!) and work from there.

    No surprise that Jericho's name has popped up as a perfect example of how you do it.
