011 Crossing Borders

Crossing Borders Episode 11 has the following and a whole lot more!

What did you like this week? What was bad?

Let's talk about The League of Nations.

What storyline/narrative structures can WWE use to build up tension? Parity booking.

Impending Charlotte heel turn?

Mick Foley's stupid son got hired for creative after Mick's last Facebook tantrum and now people are screencapping his stupid bullshit posts and it's hilarious what a pampered dunce he is.

Apparently the line implying that Lana slept with Ziggler was a surprise to her and Rusev. What ya think about that?

Why are WWE T-shirts so fucking bad?

Are they torpedoing Reigns again?

Remember when heel/face turns used to be decided by the removal of a T-shirt? That was the best.

Questions.

010 Crossing Borders

Our Thanksgiving edition of Crossing Borders is full of thankfulness! Topics include:

Things in wrestling we are thankful for.

RATINGS. Under 3 million average viewers for the first time in a long, long time.

Survivor Series

Sheamus. Sheamus is the champion.

If they're determined to make Roman main event guy, is there any way to do it and keep him a face? Can WWE pull it off, if there is a way?

Why are so few people over? Roman winning the title didn't even get a big reaction.

Rollins return ideas.

People compare current WWE to late era WCW. In how many ways is that ridiculous?

TNA is on Pop TV.

More classless BS from WWE
