The divas division roster is dropping like flies isn't it.

OH darn, what will be used as a 2 minute buffer between good matches on ppv?!?!

How can i rage about him telling jokes if i am in the bathroom?
BTW, i thought last night, Ziggler coming out with a girl and a gigantic bodyguard made him come across as a big deal.

Marrying a gracie, so she's taking time off to have 30 kids.

seriously....she'll probably be pregnant before she hits the altar

I bet she's pregnant now, this isn't the 50s.
And the minute she pops that kid out she will be pregnant again, her wrestling career is over.

and as it applies to her, wrestling career is a term Id use very loosely

This week WWE broadcast Smackdown live on the USA Network in a special, commercial free episode. The show drew a 2.29 cable rating, which is a huge increase from last Friday's show, and for Smackdown in general. They averaged 3.33 million viewers over both hours, which is almost 700,000 more viewers than the 12/14 Smackdown in its normal Friday night slot.

Out of all the women besides natalya, she's the best wrestler i think.

Bigger network, they advertised it, all the stars were on it, no commercials.
Lotta reasons really, also a strong ppv and a strong Raw.
WWE actually knows the next 2 Raws are going to die though.

del rio is damn good. he works well with show and showed he knows the difference between working as a heel or face by having a very different match with show than their previous matches.

also kaitlyn continues to improve her technique in the ring, lately aksana has also looked more crisp than i've seen before.

Aksana is still bad, but she is much much better than she used to be.
Like...much better.
But when you start at a negative and move to a 2...meh.
