You are allowed to be frustrated with professional wrestling. There is nothing wrong with that. Sometimes that's Thorn and you like everything, which is not true. I get frustrated as well. I just don't think we need to melt down on the internet. But of course, we should still talk about it. That's what we're going to do today. So there have been a few things in WWE that have made you scratch your bald head or maybe your full head hair. I don't know what's going on with you. So I, Simon Meller, who I'm wearing the stupidest shirt ever today, kind of regret it, but it was a gift, so I like to be nice. I'm going to go through some of them today. Are you ready? Of course or not, but let's go. I'll be honest with you. I don't even agree with some of these. That's the beauty of life. Number 10, not doing much with Eoskeye. Now, of course, Eoske and Rea Ripley had that awesome

match Evolution 2 electric bigeloo. with some of these. That's the beauty of life. Number 10, not doing much with E.O. Sky. Now, of course,

Eoske and Rear Ripley had that awesome match at Evolution 2, Electric Bigeloo, and they were part of that three way with Bianca Blair at WrestleMania. So in terms of map quality, EO sky is right up here. She also had that awesome match with Stephanie Vecere when she got called up. But when it comes to her title right post-Resslemia, for a good while, EO did nothing. Like, quite literally, she would just be in backstage segments looking at people, and she didn't even have a feud. It was weird. Essentially, if you want to break it down, she was getting less and less screen time, and once again, let's go back to the quality of her matches. If you want for walking here right now now and say she's one of the best wresters in the world, I wouldn't argue with you, and even her prohos are badass. It's not really about what you say, it's how you say them, and her intent is always, I'm going to break you in two. Especially after Naomi had cashed in her money in the bank, Eo sounded properly pissed off. That's why I'm excited about the future.

I presume what we are, I know. We're doing the three-way at SummerSlam, which you've probably seen by the time this video has gone live, but we cannot drop this again. EO Sky is too good. And really, if you were going to give ups and downs to the first half of the year, the poor use of Eoskai's title reign, will it be on the negative left? And you never want that.

Number nine, some Rush NXT Call-U. half of the year, the poor use of Eoske's title reign. Will it be on the negative left? And you never

want that. Number nine, some rush NXT call-ups. Oh, I love the fact that Stephanie Vacare, Julia and Roxanne Perez were called up to the main roster, because all these guys were ready, especially Roxanne Perez, well, all of them, to be honest. But Roxanne Perez walked into NXT or the Performance Center at 19 at 19 years old, and she's only like 22, 23 now. And she's just as good as she was. Well, no, she's better. That's a savant man when it comes to sports entertainment. She's going to do well. And of course, we all know Stephanie Vakar just as it. When it comes to Julia, well, she's the most unique person on the planet. The issue, however, though, is that while Roxanne Perez kind of had a focus with the judgment day, although we needed to lean into that harder, Stephanie for care then did nothing on Raw for a few weeks, and Julia interfered after a Zena Vega match, where she hated Selena and then turned on her, then we did nothing for three weeks, then she won the US Championship, and then we did nothing with that US title until SummerSlam. That's just weird, not all to be that guy, but it sounds like they were cooled up without a plan. And of course, one of the big things that new WWE said they were never going to do is fall back into the old ways, where you do just grab somebody from the third brand and throw them on to the Raw Smackdown. And these are nowhere near as bad as that. Some people got cooled up and they vanished from the show, but we can do more, especially when you have people that are this skilled. Once again, go through all their matches they are great. So yeah, second half of the year, let's do more. Once again, the Roxanne Perez and

Rikkel Walriguez do have that good tag team. And that's a barrel of laughs. And Stephanie

Vecere will get a title shot of clash in Paris. Of course, Julia has her belt so we can keep

everything crossed with a much better place now. But at first, just a bit wibbly wobbly. Number eight,

some of the strange returns. So when Alast the Black finally returned to WWE, it was absolutely awesome. And what he's doing at the moment with our truth and Damien Priest is really good. But let's not forget the WW's grand plan when he did simply do the door was to have a two-match series with the Miz.. I love the Mizz. He's still vastly underrated,

and he's a Hall of Famer. But the whole point is when someone does come back, you want to give him something big. This just felt a little bit mooted. It was absolutely the same with Rusev too. It is one of my favourite wrestlers of the modern day. But he had that small, kind of bizarre feud with Alpha Academy, then got into a much program with Shameless,

but they had their match and they vanished for a couple of weeks and they were back again, and they had another match. We weren't allowing them to do promos, we weren't allowing them to do stories. It made me a bit of a sad pander. Sometimes you do need consistency on television. So really, you can kind of line those two guys up, one on Raw, one on Smackdown. It's not like WWE is punishing either of them because they both got the same booking. Maybe they just wanted to ease them back onto Monday and Friday nights, but that seems weird too. And again, I think Black is about to find his feet, but we've got to do more with Rousseff and Shamous man. That first match was absolutely brilliant.

We should like a fire under their ass, you know, let them go full hog.

Not only in the ring, but what they're saying on the microphone too,

then I'm confident it is going to be okay.

It's also another weird one.

It just felt so stripped back.

This wrestling man go over the top.

Number seven, the poorly thought out releases. Now everybody always goes mad when you talk about this topic, but let's remember they are real human beings, but I actually didn't think any of the following wrestlers needed to be released. We'll start with Carlito, because that dude was just comic relief when it came to the Judgment Day, and he was genuinely funny. He was also a dude

that could get beaten in the ring and he didn't seem to care. Listen, I don't know what

WWE or TKO's finances are, but I kind of feel like they could have kept Carlito around and we didn't

even let him wrap up his story on television. I thought that was a bit lame. DeKal Kai still totally
