Yeah this guy on reddit who posts a lot of inside WWE stuff (not dolphins) said it would probably be Red Bull Arena. He said the rent at the Staples Center is too high to keep going there.

The only thing missing from Brock's win was a post match interview where he channeled that one he did in UFC years ago when he said he was going home to drink an ice cold Coor's light and have sex with his wife. My God that was beautiful to watch. I was speechless after about the tenth German suplex and he still had another six to go. OVERCOME THOSE ODDS.

It's about time Criterion put some more American comedy classics up. I am all for art house stuff, but Tootsie is a film that deserves a Criterion once over with their special features. It would be nice if they can put more of their old laserdiscs back up on Blu ray form.

The cover to Allan Sherman's little known 60s novelty album "My Son, The Wrestler." Right after the picture was taken, Monsoon looked down at lil Joey Marella and said WILL YOU STOP with that smirk.

I never understood why they never went back after Summerslam 94. I know WCW always used the United Center for Nitro's so I figured that probably had something to do with it. WCW had the United Center in Chicago. The WWF had Madison Square Garden. Much like the new Comiskey Field (which looked a hell of a lot like the remodeled Yankee Stadium) in the 90's, the United Center was the midwest's MSG with Jerry Reinsdorf. Maybe Vince just doesn't like him and that's why he won't even rent the building.

If Rey is able to go back to Mexico to wrestle or what ever, would he wear the mask? He lost in WCW but we all know how the WWE was like ehh that didn't really count. I know he's wrestled for the WWE in Mexico with it on, but I could almost see the WWE being dicks and being like the Rey Mysterio mask is our intellectual property. I would imagine if they put him up against the right guy, Rey vs. whoever in a Mask vs. Mask or Mask vs. Hair match as his swan song would do pretty damn well for him.

Ambrose doing his own version of Assault on Precinct 13 can only lead to him being cast as the real son of John McClaine in the eventual Die Hard sequel/reboot. Anyone who saw Die Hard 5 knows there's no way, no way that Jai Courtney came from John McClaine's loins.

I hope Brock breaks Cena's arm and then takes the arm and puts it on a chain as a reminder to everyone that you don't mess with him. Seriously though I'm looking forward to Brock/Cena, AJ/Paige, and Dean/Seth. Maybe Rusev vs. Swagger, but I really wish it was Rusev vs. Zeb who was 25 years younger cause Rusev vs. a super patroitic Zeb would be awesome. Don't really care about anything else on the show. Orton vs. Reigns is just such an apathetic match. Everything they are doing with Reigns, they should be doing with Ambrose. Roman should never cut promos after last night. He should just speak in one word sentences and be the Samoan Ivan Drago.

Thank you for that Pete. I needed a good laugh. Now I'm just picturing Mr. Wonderful on the G train in Williamsburg. Paul Orndorf going around and piledriving hipsters would be the best thing ever.

This show was a lot like Enron The Ride. It started up up UP with Brock and then went down down DOWN as the night went on. The stuff with Stephanie and Brie is just so bad. I can't believe they wasted the Yes Lock spot tonight on RAW. Maybe Brie's gonna bust out the flying knee at Summerslam. That would be all kinds of funny.

This one really does hurt. I'm like in shock and still can't believe it's true. Saw all the real news twitters rt'ing it and I was like please let it be a hoax that got out of hand. But he was also such a great dramatic actor. It's said the best dramatic actors are comics because they know how to play the emotions. A while back in school, I told one of my friends if I ever make it with this screenwriting thing and I was like "if I can remake one movie, I want to do Night Of The Hunter and I want Robin Williams to play Robert Mitchum's role". If anyone could play such a cold person and make it convincing, I thought it would be Robin Williams. I just got nothing right now. Later tonight I'm gonna fire up my laserdisc player and watch Toys.

Okay maybe not every week. But you get what I was saying. Just broadcast something...anything that's not "well we're gonna play another old PPV from 20 years ago randomly".

My problem with the network is it's programmed so poorly. We were told "oh there will be so much orginal programming". NXT is great and all, but it would be nice if they put a little more thought into what occupies most of the schedule. Someone here a couple of pages back suggested they should broadcast house shows. That would be a good start for original programming. Saturday Night's Main Event...Live every week. MLB has the game of the week or what ever. I'm sure the logistics could be worked out. It doesnt have to be a super PPV caliber production. Though I'm sure Kevin Dunn would just love having to produce a good old fashioned rasslin broadcast. Seriously though most arena's have in house production anyway so they wouldn't have to bring all the WWE camera's.

He actually got the Vince seal of approval and a Slammy named after him. In Vince's mind, the fact that Styles stood up for himself and knocked JBL on his ass meant that he was man.

At first people were saying he just ran over the guys foot. I clicked on it expecting to see that and I see a guy get launched. I know Stewart is a scumbag and all, but I really hope what I saw wasn't intentional but it sure looks it.

Would have loved to of gone to Summerslam 91 in person. As much as I loved Bret/Perfect, I would have wanted to see Bossman vs. Mountie. God I hated The Mountie so much back then so seeing him get what was coming to him and then hauled off by the cops would have been the best. Also would have liked to have been at Great American Bash 85 for Flair/Nikita. Plus it would have been great to see Dusty/Tully and one of the infinite matches Jimmy Valiant had against Paul Jones.

Assuming Lesnar wins at Summerslam (I mean I can't imagine Taker would be happy if he lost), I can see the seeds of Cena finally snapping and turning heel being planted. Cena is everything the company wants in a superstar, but the real fans have voice time and time again they don't want him and his bubble gum act. In the old days you could probably draw something like Cena turning heel to Survivor Series or even The Royal Rumble. But now with everything hinging on network subscription numbers, if Cena was gonna go bad they would probably blow through three or four months worth of stuff in like 3 weeks. That said I can see him losing the title to Brock and whom ever beats Brock (for fun lets say Ambrose cause Bryan's not gonna be back for a while), Cena becomes jealous that the fans would choose someone like that over him. Idealy the best time for Cena to go bad would be a huge match against The Authority where he turns on his partners and stabs everyone in the back. But unless they plan a Wargames match for him to pull a Curt Hennig type move, I can't see a good chance for them to do it and for it really work. But if Bryan can come back sooner and take the title off Brock, then go full steam with Cena turning bad. Bryan is way more likeable than Cena so a jealous causing him to turn dark would absolutley work.

I had to rewatch it to figure out who it was taking the bump. That's the oddest looking attire I've ever seen Sabu wear. If I remember, he lost his gear so he had to borrow Davari's for the night.

I was sitting the balcony right above the steps. That was a horrible thud sound when she hit it. Lashley vs. Roode was a really good match. I guess THE DESTROYER will be walking into the Bellator show with the TNA world title. There's one part of the match where Roode has Lashely on his shoulders and Lashley hangs onto the ropes so Bobby straight fireman carry slams him over the top rope to the floor. Lashley made a hell of a thud on the floor and left quite the sweat mark on the mats. The best part not wrestling was these guys on the floor. One was dressed up like Ric Flair (but more like Will Ferral on Eastbound & Down) and he kept challenging this guy who was dressed up like Hogan who was in the seats next to me to come on down and face the champ (he had a belt too). With him was a guy dressed up Savage, bootleg Ultimate Warrior, and my personal favorite was the guy dressed as Johnny Polo (complete with a plastic putter). We all got bored during the Abyss/Shaw match so Flair guy got the crowd to start WOOOing. Also I can check something off my bucket list. I got a YOU FUCKED UP chant directed at me. Towards the end, Borash was doing the free shirt thing and he tossed it up towards me. I had my hand on it but I didn't grab it quick enough and it fell to the floor below. It was awesome.

The show was real fun. I didn't realize they were doing a retape of the match with DJ Z and Melendez. He wasn't bad. He's a rookie who shouldn't be on tv, but that aside he wasn't bad. Aries vs. Knux was possibly in my top 3 of the night. Knux needs to be higher up in the card. Hell, have him vs. Joe or something. I thought the whole group was pretty great (minus the muscles guy). Crazy Steve is so awesome live. That match he had with Spud is easily one of the funniest matches I've ever seen.Spud is also so awesome live. They really need to do something with him. The ladder match was the car wreck I expected it to be. Jeff Hardy's tattoo looks way worse in person.

I still dont get how Waltz was the supporting actor in the movie. Django Unchained was his movie. Foxx was more supporting than anything else. A recent western I like is Appaloosa. it probably would have been bigger had it come out in another decade.

I watched Anchorman 2 last night. Just the theatrical version. Can't imagine the R rated one was that much funnier. It had its moments that really made me laugh, but most of it was just ehhh. I thought the worst parts of the film were with Bric and Kristin Wigg's character. Those scenes just grinded the movie to a hault. The news team fight was by far the funniest part of the movie.

Two matches ending with the same exact finisher? Rhino with the GORE and LASHLEY with the spear. That's got to be a first, right? I don't remember it happening in the WWE when Rhino had the Gore and Edge had his running hug.

Yes there are people that would buy them the big problem is daddy Carter wont sell without Dixie going along with the deal and NO ONE WANTS THAT. Yeah its like anyone who buys the Family Network (currently ABC Family). Because of some deal Pat Robertson made when the channel started, no matter who owns the channel the 700 Club gets I think at least 3 hours a day and they can never be cancelled. Honestly the best option would be for Spike to buy the majority share and if they have to keep Dixie around so be it. I want Jon Taffer to go over those books.

I'm going to the Thursday one. Is it going to be the last taping for a while? If TNA were smart (we know they aren't) if they're still running house shows, just further angles and tape matches at them. Might give it an even grittier feel. Though turn the lights off cause no one wants to see a good match with say Joe vs. Aries with only 10 people in a 1000 seat building. And just turn the lights off during Wolves matches because no one wants to see those matches period. I'm tempted to bring a giant WORKRATE!!! sign for them.
