I hadn’t heard of her until about a month ago but she looks really promising!

Ya I was impressed when I saw her at the royal rumble.

She was very raw coming out (wnba player) but has really developed a ton.
Actually IIRC, I asked who that was in this thread and you told me about her not that long ago. They might belt her up quickly.

I feel like they’ll do the eventual split with her and Nia Jax and Nia will put her over then lash will go chase a solo belt.

This was an interesting concept - could have been a major hit! I think this is right around beginning of attitude era when Vince was trying out a bunch of new stuff.

No wonder Jade has 0 title defenses so far on tv…


B-Fab reportedly got injured during WWE House, where she wrestled Jade Cargill. (via Fightful Select)

B-Fab was filling in for Michin, who injured her shoulder during her match against Jade Cargill on WWE House show

Thought Raw was pretty poor but kind of enjoy some falling for the Jericho rumor. Guy isn't returning during a Stranger Things tie-in episode with horror vines and a van parked in the arena. I don't know what he wants to do during this final run but I'm ecstatic JAS, The Learning Tree, and the Painmaker gimmicks are done and buried.

All that Stranger Things crap on Raw last night was extremely cringe and downright embarrassing. The wrestling was craptastic as well. Sorry I even watched the few segments that I did, may not waste my time on WWE television ever again. It was that bad.

I'm surprised it hadn't happened sooner. ST was a massive hit so when Netflix acquired Raw I figured there'd be a tie-in at some point. Just odd timing as the show ended on NYE but it was almost promoted on Raw like it was about to premier. We had Tony running out dressed as Leatherface in AEW for a promotional thing so it's something that goes down in both companies. There's just more sponsors that want WWE and they're more than willing to keep selling themselves like a hooker on 42nd street in 1974.

0-2 in first of the new year Raw's on Netflix though. That's the real problem.

Agreed 3,000 in a 16,000 seat arena is less than ideal and it looked that way on TV. There has to be a smaller building in Tulsa they could have used.
That aside I thought Dynamite was a solid show, not as good as last week.

Smackdown for tonight-

Three Stages of Hell: WWE Champion Cody Rhodes vs. Drew McIntyre.
-Stage One: Traditional Rules. Stage Two: Falls Count Anywhere. Stage Three: Steel Cage match.
Trick Williams vs. Rey Fenix in Williams' first official Smackdown match.
WWE Women's United States Champion GIULIA vs. Alexa Bliss
The MFTs vs. The Wyatt Sicks in an Eight Man Tag Team Match.
Joe Tessitore & Wade Barrett return as broadcast team.

I watched about 5-10 minutes of the show just to see it (women's tag, and end of the main event). The product is so awful. All of it.

I find myself just watching old stuff these days instead of the product.

it’s all I’ve ever done pretty much for years unless there’s a huge match I can’t miss. My YouTube shows me nothing but mid 80s-mid 2000s rasslin. It’s glorious. Basically never runs out of stories, shoot interviews, documentaries…
Where do you find those or what YouTube channels are they on?

But did they set a record for biggest gate at the arena?
