If the rumours about their illnesses are true, it makes me wonder how many anti-vaxxers are currently employed by WWE.

In order to add some build up to these rushed matches they've done some neat improvised promos from a hotel room and the lockeroom with AJ and
the remaining 2 3rds of the Shield.
The Shield one in particular is miles better than any of the recent backstage interviews. https://twitter.com/WWE/status/921576909347180544

I kinda wish they wouldn't have pulled the trigger on Angle despite how excited I am for his return... I just think he needs his own story, and
his first match should have some meaning.
I think Rollins and Ambrose are such that you could have them try and crazy tough their way through an even bigger handicap match, or even pull some
shenanigans during the PPV to take out some member of team Miz. This would then let you have the Shield lose; add a bit more gravitas to Miz's
group, and let you extend this story another month in a more organic way. You could have also had Angle and Miz get into a confrontation backstage to
set up something down the line for them, and use it as grounds to split of Miz from the tag match (he could do double duty as a manager in the tag
match) to give you another match... maybe Jordan?
Definitely down for Styles and Balor; I don't think you need a story there- just some pure competition as a selling point, although I think you
could have Bryan rub this in a bit... maybe tease a favour being owed with some interactions between him and Kurt.
I hope the WWE takes not of this and maybe (doubt it) gives some thought to burying the IC title in a way where it's not being defended and
having the world title on a guy who isn't there most of the time.
It's amazing to me though that for a roster that's maybe deeper and more talented than at any other point in the WWE history they still
can't find a way to effectively use more than a few guys at once.

I expect this more with the women because on too many of their Instagram accounts they're all posing with these packets of (alleged) organic
fat-reducing tea, so if they've bought in as a group with all that holistic crap it would follow that they're skeptics of actual real
medicine. Kind of ironic though if some of the guys who are successfully masking all the veterinary steroids and powdered monkey testicles they shoot
into themselves to get big and strong have decided to draw the line at flu shots for "safety" reasons. 
Be neat if it's determined that it's all WWE's fault because they didn't bother to check the talent's immunization
records before travelling to notoriously unhygenic places like China or South America or other locales where, I don't know, things from the dark
ages like the bubonic plague still kill a bunch of people every year. Somewhere CM Punk is pointing and laughing at WWE's medical practices and
going "ha! told you so!".

Angle, while it would have been great to see more of a build up, does make sense storyline-wise (actually JJ would, but whatever...)
Styles coming over for Balor is really weird though, I mean it will be a great match, but why not just do a gay spooky sister Abigail spot and string
the angle out a bit? Real easy to do, and Balor/Bray was never going to be the workhorse match.
But even if they want to distract with a solid OMG Workrate! match, why use an SD guy? Jordan? Someone from NXT? Lots of things make more sense than
AJ.

That'd just be stupid. I'm also into a lot of holistic and natural things, but one thing that I also do is keep up on my vaccinations,
including yearly flu shots, because I'm not an idiot and I believe in science. Also because I go to a university with students from around the
world, but mostly because science.

I go as far as intense theraputic massages and had prolotherapy done twice for injuries nothing else could heal; I also like edible marijuana not just
for the ride but because it's about the only thing that calms my stomach down when I'm having a bad time from a stress or panic attack.
I'm still kind of open minded about some of it but too much of it is just junk being sold by former hippies who've read The Secret far too
many times for their own good. Nothing wrong at all with being a vegetarian, for example, but I don't see the necessity of adopting full-blown
veganism and all the ginchy political and pseudo-intellectualism that goes along with it.

This ties into the People Are Cunts theory above. Basically, this is what some-people do about their lifestyles. That's the difference
between "spritual person" and "religious nutjob", between "soccer fan" and "racist hooligan", etc. It's people being cunty about what
they like/don't like. No, it isn't necessary. It's just sadly "human".

I too also would enjoy intense therapeutic massages for prolapse therapy but unfortunately all I can afford right now is a plunger and some axle
grease*. 
In TLC Shakeup guess-mongering, where does Joe fit in this whole operation? 'Cause this fucker's going all kinds of schmozzy for sure.
Joe's got the unspoken history with Kurt, but no current WWE beef. He's obviously got beef with Reigns but the latter's not there.
However, Reigns' bros might take umbrage with Joe considering his past feuds with Roman. Maybe a future Shield "issue" if Dean/Seth make nice
with Joe and when Reigns returns it becomes a problem? But I just can't see them letting Kurt "go" in a way that's on par with what the
other guys are capable of considering their age and injuries in comparison to his.
Kane, of course, doesn't count because supernatural beings heal faster than regular non-demon infused humans. And since we're talking
Kane, is he an actual demon or is he just possessed by one like Finn? Does Sister Abigail interact with their demons too or are they not even from the
same dimension? These are all important things to consider and resolve or I'm not sure how this PPV is going to work or make any sense.
Oh yeah, and let's not forget in all this A.J./Finn/Kurt Hullabulooza that Emma's scheduled to die at this PPV as well.
*Stick the greased plunger on the wall and run backwards towards it is all I'm gonna say aboot that. *sad trombone noise*

The mythology of WWE's supernatural characters would make a for a cheesy but fun video game. Just to recap, Kane was born a regular person but
after being burned alived, he embraced evil and hate and with Paul Bearer's guidance he ''ascended'' to demonhood. Kind
of a Michael Myers deal. Balor killed a stereotypical big bad demon and took his power. He must be careful to not channel the power too much or else
he'll fall under the demon's evil influence. Bray Wyatt seems like the typical evil bayou voodoo witch but there are hints he is a lot
older than he looks and has been at this for a long time.
I love the shit out of the Undertaker vs Kane feud and think Bray and Balor could come close to that awesomeness if WWE's writing was up to par.
