I really hope that Punk and Bryan are in the main event tonight so when the inevitably terrible ratings come out, we get to hear about how this was a conspiracy by HHH to prove Bryan and Punk aren't draws. A lightbulb just went on over HHH's head. For those of you in Kentucky, a light bulb is like a tiny sun, enclosed in glass. ...I'll show myself out.

The best Perfect moment was once he threw his towel over his shoulder totally blindly and Bobby Heenan just nonchalantly does a behind the back grab like it just weren't no thing.

Maybe the finest "old, crazy Flair" moment ever.

I personally blame Triple H for the 1845 Irish Potato famine, Obamacare's website problems and Firefly getting cancelled.

If Daniel Bryan's fans would have paid to see him, things might be different. But since they all stole that shit online, now he's back to the midcard. Blame yourselves! You should have paid $50 three months in a row to get screw job finishes like good fans!!!

Hahaha Table I can't imagine anyone have holding a grudge against you. If anything you probably fixed his personality defects.

If it this episode ends being a success, Then I hope we get more gimmick episodes. *Crosses finger for a new RAW Bowl*

Cena is smarter than the average wrestler and is better at predicting if his partner will turn on him in the future.

Did you climb off your cross to watch it?

Assuming those people would have bought it in the first place. Which is a big if,

I love that the Bills suck so much they can't even get their own dumpster fire thread - they have to take over the Dolphins one.

I think he just kills them regardless.

I know...I know...No Raw talk, but, hey, a musical act, watch me join the rest of the country in changing the channel.

Don Cherry murdered a guy?

Because I understand the scoring system. Seriously, this is like the people that watch a close fight and at then end when a guy wins a unanimous decision 3 rounds to 2 they say "I think it should have been a split decision". It's really that stupid. If you're going to give three rounds to Hendricks two of them can't be 3 or 5 because anyone watching those rounds would understand that Johny didn't do enough to win those rounds. So when you call bullshit you're essentially saying "there's no fucking way GSP could have won round 1" and that makes it even more stupid because that round was a tossup.

I don't know what country magic is, but I am 100% behind it if we get Jeff Jarrett as some sort of redneck Papa Shango.

It's very close to being a clothesline and anyone acting mystified that in live time refs gave a penalty for that is completely out to lunch. That won't even crack a top 50 of questionable NFL calls this year.

Lucky, Calgary is a tropical paradise, what with your fucking Chinooks and all.

Here you go:

Whatever he says, it will be completely awesome. GRIM VISAGED THUGGEES.

I don't consider stating the truth to be whining.

I really don't understand why the hell they don't lower the price of the damn PPVs. Unless they're contractually obligated to price them the way they are, they should try selling one of the lower tier PPVs for, say, $29.99 and see if buyrates jump. That's the big reason I haven't ordered a PPV in over 5 years. I refuse to put down 50-60 bucks when, if I really want to watch the show, I can buy the DVD of it a couple months later for 15-20 bucks.

Casual fans are not paying fifty bucks to watch pay per views. Once you part with that much money, it is not a casual interest.

Well, if you think I am blaming Triple H for this you haven't read my posts But in all seriousness, I DO believe that Bryan's most vocal fans are not paying to watch him on PPV or watching every single RAW match that he has when it is happening. They hear Bryan fought Cesaro and they run to torrents or YouTube to get their fix. By comparison, I think Cena's supporters.. the younger crowd and the wait for it.... CASUAL fan do pony up (or make their parents pony up) for the shows. Listen, ten-year old Jack is not hopping on the net and finding the best way to download fucking B-PPVs.. He is pleading with his parents to buy a PPV because his hero Cena is fighting Rock or they hear Cena will be in the main segment on RAW and make sure to turn it back on and watch.

When was the last time the WWE invested a ton of money in getting a guy over? Like Lex Express levels? Daniel Bryan getting a Prius Lex Express to rally the nation into getting behind him in getting an opportunity to become the face of the company would be awesome

I think it's definitely true that the people that love Bryan the most, pretty much refuse to pump any revenue into WWE. I've said before, and more or less got shouted down, but it boils down to trust. People don't trust WWE to do anything right, so they don't invest. Frankly, WWE keeps proving these people right over and over.

It doesn't matter who the guy they choose to push is if the push fucking sucks.

I feel like the amount of television WWE produces weekly along with a PPV every month is ultimately what causes a lot of these hot angles to fail. Forget the Attitude Era, wrestling was red hot... Austin/Rock were massive stars, they were able to overcome terrible booking. Remember with Austin the double pin against Taker/Kane a couple months into his title reign? I think the internet would have shit on that completely. Back to the point.. I don't think the WWE writers are good enough to produce this much television. If the Bryan v. Authority angle happens in 1992.. they could have built towards Bryan v. Orton or Bryan v. HHH for months. These days they have put themselves in a position where Bryan and Orton have to face one another sooner than later and then they need a selling point to ANOTHER PPV 3 weeks out.. so they run a rematch. That's why we have terrible finishes and the angle loses steam. Maybe more talented writers find a way to keep it interesting but you have to admit.. it's a lot of fucking television especially with Bryan appearing on both RAW and SD! every week.

What's a paladin?

I just want to know why DB's fans are so damn cynical of his success. There's always a "but" attached to whatever the WWE decides to do with the guy: - They tried to build him as the underdog on NXT, BUT he lost every match! - They brought him back after the tie thingy, BUT Nexus died when he got fired! - He was having killer matches every week, BUT that damn Sheamus squashed him like a damn bug and those damn Bellas! - He won MITB, BUT why is he losing to Wade Barrett! - He won the title, BUT Big Show and Mark Henry! - He got the most attention at WM for jobbing, BUT Sheamus squashed him again! - They had him, CM Punk and AJ do some shit for months, BUT why does a woman have to get involved! - Kane reinvented DB, BUT Kane! - He got over as the most guy in front of a live crowd, BUT he probably jobbed again at some point! - He cleanly pinned Cena and Orton, BUT HHH! - He is teaming with Punk, BUT he ain't in the main event anymore! Not bad for someone the internet thinks the WWE has a thing against. How many guys would shank an anonymous hobo for that much give?

Veeg and Jenn are 59 seconds away from streaking through their neighborhoods while screaming TOM BRADY CAN KISS MY BARE ASS.

Big E should do nothing but Ultimate Warrior spots, including the rope shake.

The guy throws a hell of a lariat.

Florida Brothers. Can't find really anything of them on YouTube sadly.

From the ridiculous to the SUBLIME.

I'm disappointed I wont get to see the Bellas financially ruin Cena and Bryan resulting in them becoming wacky odd couple roomies together on a reality show. But the bright side is that we should hopefully get to see them do Thanksgiving or Christmas together on the program. Anything sexual involving Cena and Nikki comes off as incredibly awkward. It's bizarre how uncomfy Cena looks.

It is weird they never got the straps in a time when most belts were passed around like a hot potato....especially with a hot blonde in their corner. And Trish Stratus.

They were playing in the Cesspool, I'm suprised that fan was alive long enough for Shady to take his flag.

1.... 2..... SCREW YOU AUSTIN! officiating style in New Orleans.

Let's just forget the fact that Big Show apes D-Bry's mannerisms. It's just a word, man.

Only 1.3% of Radio Times readers appreciate the greatness that was Sylvester McCoy, and where's Peter Cushing?

Ah, I remember those jokes. "What's the sound made by 300 pounds of shit hitting a wrestling ring? KWAAAAANG!"

I think I realised in the mid-90s that Eddy (his own preferred spelling of the name, as he notes in his book) was my favourite wrestler, and somehow he remained in that spot for me through the highs and the lows right up until the present day. He was THE total package, as versatile a performer as there has ever been and someone who excelled in every category. I act a little bit and watching that 2005 heel turn promo reminds me how incredible and convincing Eddy could be on promos, even granting some much-needed credibility to a stupid and unbelievable angle like a paternity struggle over Rey's kid. When Eddy died it hurt for me like no other wrestling death before or since, possibly in part due to the fact that I'd just read and really enjoyed his autobiography. When Vince and the soulless pieces of crap writing for the WWE decided to then exploit and mock his passing it was time for me to turn my back on the WWE. I've never watched a single Raw or Smackdown since they used Eddy's death for the cheapest of cheap heat (though I think I've watched a total of four or five of their PPVs since) and I will never again respect Misterio or Randy Orton for their part in agreeing to metaphorically piss on Eddy's grave. It was truly a sub-Fritz Von Erich piece of 'booking' and made me furious; how it must have made his family feel is another thing altogether. I also can't help but find blame for the manner of his passing in the pressure he must have felt to bulk up in WWE. It's interesting to think of what might have been, the good and the bad. Who knows if Benoit would even have gone insane like he did if Eddy hadn't passed away? Regardless, nothing can take away from the legacy Eddy Guerrero left us, an amazing body of work from a guy who will never be forgotten.

Tegan turned 6 on the 11th. I feel old...

Throwing people between the corner turnbuckles and into the post, toss in its close cousin the miss the corner shoulder charge into the post.
