[Arch Stanton]

Fred Ottman always comes across as one of the nicest guys in the business. Great to see him looking well.

Watched it for Lex, the Tentas, Tugboat and Bret and Austin. Just under half an hour of a show almost ten times that.

They're the only bits I watched, and it was a great show watching it that way.

 

Wouldn't have the time to watch it all anyway, but I have no interest in seeing Michelle McCool's induction. I actually don't mean any nastiness in saying this, but would there be any fan, from any generation/age group, that would've been particularly looking forward to that?

I really don’t understand how they can justify her induction. She very much did not have a Hall Of Fame career.

If you look at some of the other women in the HOF, it's really not hard to justify.

I think its perfectly fine to be open about the fact that generally women weren’t a major part of the show in days gone by, but that they are now.

(Sherri, Elizabeth etc being notable exceptions).

Its more honest than just going full retcon mode and trying to overturn history by inducting women who didn’t really do much during their career, just for the sake of it.

Yes Koko B Ware etc is in, but at least you could argue he was a relatively prominent act and had longevity in a golden era.

Michelle McCool was a pretty forgettable act in one of blandest periods the company’s ever had.

Taker saying “Michelle didn’t come into WWE with a famous last name” was a bit rich considering he was in the middle of inducting her into the Hall Of Fame solely because of what her last name is now.

But they've set the bar where it is, so Michelle being inducted really isn't a shock. It's not like it's an exclusive HOF full of only the best talent over the years.

It's just odd that some people are so against her being inducted as if there haven't been loads of similar ones beforehand, both women and men.

It was funnier that they cut straight to Natalya after he said that.

Looks like it was a struggle. At least Jey had the right idea and brought glasses.

Yeah that was my main take away from that too. Vicious.

The absolute state of Seth Rollins. He's giving Michael Hayes a run for his money.

Missed up days the cunt was wrestling

Of a lot of his suits, that's one of the nicer ones and I'd quite like wearing it myself

Different vibes I guess though

Becky is about to melt into a puddle on the floor like Judge Doom from Roger Rabbit. She is also in the middle of pulling a gun out of her leg like Robocop. The bottom half of the image looks like one of those AI generated failures, genuinely took me a moment to process what I was looking at.
