Eva Marie

He can be really good when he's allowed to show emotion and be himself instead of just being the dork that Corey Graves dunks on.

Also, I don't know if anyone cares, but I'll ask anyway, where do they go with Eva Marie? What are your thoughts on her being a heel manager for someone in the draft? Uh, maybe LA nights.

Thanks for the great content.

Everyone go VIP PW torch.com slash go VIP.

Thanks, John.

Uh, yeah, Nate.

Um, Let's do the Eva Marie question first.

I mean, we saw tonight the match kind of was what it was between her and Doudrop.

Like, send them in the back, drink punch, you know.

Eva Marie.

Hanging out with-

Hunk junk man

In WWE.

Eva Marie?

And I'm drunk.

Yep, Eva Marie.

So those, those two, like remember they had all those vignettes and then it was like, it ended up just being like a popcorn fart?

Yeah.

Because, damn it, she's trying.

The only way Raw could have gotten worse is if Eva Marie was on it.

Okay, I thought you were just going to say you don't like to be the guy complaining about Raw.

Raw was awful.

Chase, that's a great tweet.

What's that?

He goes, if Eva Marie appears on Raw, you might as well call it TNA.

Let's not go that far.

Releases yet again.

Keith Lee gone, Nia Jax gone, Kross gone, Scarlett gone, Tegan Nox, Ember Moon, Frankie Monet, Eva Marie, and a host of others.

Never in all my years of watching pro wrestling, especially WWE, would I have witnessed so many releases in one year.

With all these releases occurring so frequently, the rosters are just getting depleted to the point that the babyface to heel ratio has become uneven, where there are more heels than babyfaces.

We just saw last we- uh, last night on Monday Night Raw, not only did we get Kevin Owens turning on, uh, attacking Big E, but we got Doudrop.

I mean, are you kidding me, Doudrop, Piper Niven, AKA Piper Niven attacking Bianca Belair? Um, wait a minute.

I thought that Doudrop was a babyface aligned with Eva Marie, and Eva Marie made her life a living hell.

Now of course, Eva Marie is not here anymore.

To your point about it being pre-recorded, bliss's point when she jumped in after flair talked definitely seemed pre-recorded because the timing was off flair had to finish speaking yet and then bliss jumped in with her her part so it definitely was pre-recorded and uh i'm sure i'm not the only one that caught that but uh you know the how it played out it's interesting because What does it mean for Bliss and Lily to bring the playground to the ring when the last several times we've seen the playground, people have been getting jumped in the playground, but nothing really supernatural has happened.

Whether it's Eva Marie and Dewdrop jumping Bliss or someone else getting jumped in the back coming into her set, the playground hasn't really functioned as much as anything besides a fight pit.

Yeah.

So I'm just interested to see if this means that she's going to bring out the supernatural in the lead-up to the match or if she also brings it out in the match and what that means for this character and for Flair because Flair's acting the last couple weeks with her including more of the queen sayings and mannerisms and poses.

Especially this revamped Sheamus since we've seen since the beginning of 2021.

What'd you think of the Drew Sheamus dynamic at the end? Was there a moment where you thought, are they turning through heel based on how he's handling this and the way that played out with the body language and the facial expressions, or did that not cross your mind at all?

In a vacuum, I would say that would be a thought that crossed my mind, but we've seen too many times the last couple of weeks where a heel or faces have actually attacked heels from behind the back, like do drop to Eva Marie last week, for example.

And it's, Because of that, I'm not reading too much into any pre- or post-match attacks because it seems like everyone's doing them regardless of their disposition as a face or a heel.

I drank so heavily, like party girl style, I would say.

And just like out of sadness, sadness, anxiety, like my anxiety would be so bad that I wouldn't be able to leave the house without having like four drinks.

Even to just go walk the dog.

Mm-hmm.

I would just eat like 10 of them like they were Skittles.

And then they stopped really getting it for me.

So a friend of mine, his girlfriend, her mom had a prescription for Oxycontin.

So she would take some of them, and they're like, these are so much better than Vicodin.

Five years ago, we talked with on-site correspondents in detail about what happened off-air and crowd reactions in the building.

Topics with callers and emails included Damian Priest pinning Drew McIntyre, Nia Jax pinning Charlotte, the reshuffled lineup including No Bobby Lashley against Sheamus despite being advertised, Doudrop against Eva Marie, and more.

So let's get to it.

This originally live streamed on August 30th, 2021.

They also had announced a whole bunch of matches that ended up not happening.

The Sheamus and...

Lashley and well Eva Marie and Doudrop happened but you know that they found a way out of that and I forgot the third match but yeah so it felt like something that was last almost felt like last minute and It was good,

especially since there was long wrestling matches, too.
