Part of me thinks the worst thing they could have done to him was just left him there and put the camera on him for a couple minutes. He's just embarrassing.
Anyhoo, since there's not a thread for it, how about those Survivor Series? I thought the show overall was p. dull, although I was pleasantly surprised that they gave Ali and Murphy 15 minutes to go out and do their thing, and that the crowd was into it. Give them twice the time, and they'll give you twice the match. Also, that beating Charlotte gave Ronda sure was something else. The reaction of the crowd was utterly predictable, too - Ronda's half of her feud with Becky was completely based on the idea that she was better than some silly "pro wrestler" who had to pay their dues to get to the top. She really earned that beating, to be frank. The match was honestly pretty good, too. I'm impressed with what Charlotte was able to get out of her (ignoring a couple of messed up spots).
I'm sure some people were into Bryan/Lesnar, but I've seen that story too many times already, even if this was a slightly better execution of it.
Also, no thread for War Games, which is mainly my fault because I didn't have time to put one together even though I really meant to do it. Johnny Gargano had *yet another* attempt at a Match of the Year, and the rest of the show was as good in reality as it was on paper, so maybe check that out if wrestling is a thing you like.
Charlotte's beating of Rhonda was pleasing, UNTIL, Rousey came out on Raw last night and no-sold the whole fucking thing. Really? Not even a neck brace? Flair better not get punished to much. (although there were the ref shoves......) Hell, Shane might actually come out tonight and give her a bonus and pay for the ref shoves for beating the crap out of the Raw Women's Champion. I thought they did the whole thing to put her on the shelf until Becky got better. Not once during her match with Mickie last night did she sell a damned thing. Lynch better rip her head off. Baddest Woman On The Planet? Try Baddest Selling Woman On The Planet.

I thought Takeover was rock solid the whole way. A thoroughly entertaining show. Dream/Ciampa was amazing.
I am surprised to see no reference to the Flair/Piper lineage in the Charlotte/Rousey fight. That's the kind of legend perpetuation I want to see in the WWE, not feeble guys stumbling through matches.
