How right you were!

Kurt loves the black women
---

I mean

Expected kind of
---

I'm really not sure what they see in a solo Jason Jordan right now.

So... where does it go from there? Is there some feud that becomes of this down the line? Does Kurt have his job threatened over this? Is American Alpha broken up since it appears that JJ is on Raw now?

Idk how I feel about this. They gotta do something good. At least if this was Steph and it was the predictable Kurt v HHH match, we could've gotten a clear cut goal with this and a (probably) good match.
---

I hope there's a twist that the info was just "One of American Alpha is your son." And they just made the assumption it was Jordan. But it turns out that it's actually Gable.

And Angle's like "..........Oh. I have no son."
---

In the world where everyone on wrestling is talking about SOCIAL MEDIA LOL I don't really see this kinda twist working in a way that makes in universe sense but *shrug

I feel like Gable just found out that Jordan isn't coming back from the store with that milk, after all

Maybe they can be a team again if the Angels win the pennant
---

I am so glad that I didn't watch RAW for that.

SmackDown's tag division now

Face
New Day
Fashion Police
Hype Bros (and they'll probably split before the year ends)

Heel
Usos
Ascension
Colons
---

On a related note, I'm just now realizing how well the American Alpha entrance music could fit into a couple of different video game related scenarios. Before a big fight, during a major boss battle, in a rhythm game, in a commercial, etc... would work especially good if the game was in a setting and mood like Sleeping Dogs or GTA.
---

Turn Gable into a heel?

I hear that they're wanting to be released from the company.

Do you think they'll resign?

That doesn't surprise me. On the other side of the WWE...

Raw's tag division

Face
Hardys
Slater/Rhyno
Titus/Crews

Heel
Sheamus/Cesaro
Revival
Anderson/Gallows
Miztourage

Could be worse.
---

You might be able to add the World's Greatest Tag Team to that list now!
---

And by that I mean, "Yes, Chad Gable is going to team with the returning Shelton Benjamin as Jason Jordan runs off for an IC run."
---

So, why is this a bad thing? I get Alpha getting screwed over by circumstances and booking, but would the reaction be better if it was Gable instead? I'm willing to get this a bit of a chance, because Angle's name value rides on this. They are probably not going to quickly scuttle this like a Darren Young situation.

This could end up really dumb because lolVince and Raw. However, it's better they push someone who isn't a McMahon for a change.
---

I would call Titus and Crews more of a singles/manager situation. And that would leave the semi-comedic Slater/Rhyno and Hardy Boyz in faces.

Again, I'm fine with Hardy Boyz being the only strong face team, because you could somewhat focus the division on them. But it also could be better. Not bad, but not necessarily very good either.
---

Jason Jordan was destined to be a future WWE Champion

this is finally getting that ball rolling
---

Holy crap does Joe's delivery sound like Bray Wyatt right now

This is not a bad or good thing yet. It felt a little weak because they did nothing except announce it (despite saying it could threaten Kurt's career and making it a way bigger deal than it ended up seeming like) and now the storyline is in limbo till they do something else with it. But whether this is good or bad depends on where it goes.

American Alpha breaking up does kinda suck and of course that's unfortunate because they've already broken up so many teams (and they were good). But whatever, WWE wasn't doing much with them anyway. Honestly I didn't care who the storyline ended up being about, I just hoped they would deliver on it. Right now, I'm not sold on it.
---

Three straight weeks of Balor vs. Samson, and so far Balor's 2-0 in said period of time.
---

I'd prefer Gable over Jordan to be honest.

I mean the syllables line up pretty good!
---

It's a bad thing.

1. American Alpha were a good team
2. I can't suspend disbelief with things like that when they're so intertwined with Twitter

Oh man. This wasn't meant to set up Kurt vs. HHH. It was meant to set up Kurt vs. Booker! >_>

It's weird how close that sequence to open RAW fit my vision of a possible Shield reunion.

How was this Angle/Jordan thing supposed to have endangered his career, exactly?

Illegitimate children/affairs can actually legit be damaging to careers because... Reasons.

I guess it's a character/image thing.
---

That's a good question.

My question is who was sending him the vaguely threatening messages at the beginning?
---

Kevin Nash
---

I would assume the whole "be faithful, one marriage, act godly religion" junk. From what I can tell, this wasn't an affair during the current marriage, but you never know how God Squaders or crazy politicians would react to weird shit. I guess they wrote that in to cover their bases.

Then again, this is wrestling. No one gives a flying fuck about being tasteful. The fans or the writers.
---

But guys, what if this seems to be going well

Jordan and Angle connect. They do a bunch of father and son activities

But then suddenly Angle starts to sneak out, to go be GM of Smackdown

And we get a Will's Dad scenario

I mean I could understand it in politics, where that kind of thing sometimes affects public trust, or if he were a priest of some sort, but a WWE Raw GM? Are we really supposed to think the WWE and its fanbase would be all too concerned with "Angle had an affair ages ago"? This is the company that treated Cena's divorce due to alleged infidelity on his part as something you should sympathize with him for, after all.
---

Obviously Trump is going to reveal an illegitimate child, and this is his buddy Vince testing the waters with another American hero who had a big Wrestlemania moment.
---

I didn't watch it, but my buddy told me that they were chanting "What" at Kurt doing the whole thing. So clearly the fanbase was really concerned.

Oh, there's definitely inconsistencies, yeah

Just saying that kind of thing does tend to hurt actors/athletes/etc., because of the "role model" image thing, so that's probably their explanation

If I could shoot fans who keep doing the What chant without going to jail, I would.

Seriously though, WHAT?!?

You have to shoot the "One Two Sweet" fans first. Then the "CM PUNK" chant fans. Then you can have the "What" fans.

Can I send a bomb to the TEN chanters, or do I reserve that for the "You Deserve It" people
---

Well, I would say the "Ten" chants are the least offensive of all of them, so it doesn't seem fitting to me, but if you're going to send a bomb to any fans you need to do it to the "We are awesome!" ones.

Ranking of annoying fans from most annoying to least annoying:

Guy with a sign for his shitty-ass podcast that blocks my view
One Two Sweet
TEN TEN TEN TEN
Children
CM Punk
Singing for Bayley still
This is Awesome
"We want" X chants
What

I don't know how what and CM Punk are so low

Seriously? What is instrumental in fucking with 90% of all promos. They tried to pull that shit on fucking Goldberg before retiring.
