  1. Enzo as part of a Samoan hit squad would be too damn amazing.
  2. Is the banner gonna stay up though? Elton John and Billy Joel have banners for all the sold out shows they've done, but I don't know if those banners stay up all the time. Bruno deserves one way more than Hogan just for his MSG sellouts alone.
  3. Just watched this weeks episode of NXT earlier. God, the show is night and day compared to RAW and Smackdown. The announcing for one makes every match interesting...but we all agree on that. I'm kinda sad that Tyler Breeze got pushed back down the line in NXT with Baylor and everyone else above him now. That selfie stick wrapped in a boa is so damn amazing. I wished he was the one to beat Nevelle. There would have been so much potential with him being Shawn Michaels circa 1992 ducking everyone. Give him a diva to be his Sherri...have her carry the damn selfie stick. Bayley vs. Becky was such a fun match. I hope they are building up to an I Quit match with them. Bayley is just so awesome. It's impossible to hate anything she does. Becky on the same token is a really great heel. She would be the type to deflate the wacky inflatable arm waving men on Bayley's intro. Seeing THE Brian Kendrick agian was great. It amazed me how much TNA fucked up having him on the roster and doing nothing really with him. Balor vs. Kendrick was a fun match. I like the whole "old guys coming to NXT for another shot" angle they got going with him and Rhino. Can't wait to see who else they bring in for that. The stuff with Owens and Reily was great. It showed the glaring difference between the main announce team and the NXT team. They could have run this same exact angle with say Booker T and Rusev. No one would really care. Here, I'm somewhat interested in an Alex Reily match in 2015 several years after the main show killed him when they turned him on The Miz and did nothing with him. I wonder if Owens will end up attacking Corey Graves at some point. I love the old "I can't wrestle, but I sure as hell can fight" deal guys who can't wrestle do at some point. Overall a fun show as always. Smackdown would be amazing in this format.
  4. Vince signs Joe for the sole purpose of remaking Joe vs. The Volcano. Joe plays the tribal chief who likes Orange soda.
  5. What I've taken from the last page is Roman Reign should use THE POUNCE....AHHHH as his finisher over the spear. A running shoulder block that could send a guy into the second row is way better than the running hug that has become the WWE's standard.
  6. While I agree Eva, Cameron, and Rosa are only on the roster for the Total Diva's show, Rosa isn't completely useless. Her and Zack Ryder were an amazing duo in ECW and in typical WWE fashion they went and screwed that up by seperating them and I've never forgiven the WWE for doing that. Also on the subject of small guys all roided up, didn't Adrian Nevelle (PAC) used to be a scrawny guy back in his European wrestling days. I see him now and all that muscle mass he has just looks so disproportionate to his body.
  7. When it comes down to it that's the problem. Poor story telling. Aside from Roman coming from the equivalent of The Kennedy's of wrestling (minus the tragedies), they've never really given us a reason as to why we should cheer for him. Oh well it's cause he's the chosen one. Yeah well WHY is he the chosen one. What does he have that deserves this over someone else say like Ziggler who was a fuck ton way more over post Survivor Series and people could have gotten into him winning the Rumble. We can blame the writers all we want. But in the end, Vince is the show runner. He decides what is what and he hasn't given us a compelling reason to root for Roman.
  8. Okay lets assume this is true. Roman failed a drug test. Dude had to come back from a major injury and surgery way too quickly. I would not be surprised if he had to use something accordingly. So first failure is 30 days right? They could suspend him tomorrow and he'd still be able to work Mania.
  9. Stoked he's growing his hair out again and for someone who supposedly couldn't walk properly (because the internet said so) that's a bunch of weight he's squatting. Well Bray is a Husky fellow.
  10. I thought it was that dumb thing she yells before she does her second rope missile drop kick until I saw the commercial with them hyping up how Brie Mode is her iron liver.
  11. The Axel thing is fantastic. Earlier while I was watching the end of RAW on the DVR I was thinking "you know they should have Axel run a thing where he continually throws people over the top rope to show he's still in the Rumble". I want his stats of over one year added as the longest rumble time next year in the Rumble hype video. And its nice that they're building up the IC Title. But the champion continually losing does nothing to help it.
  12. Cause Randy Orton is always in his wrestling gear. I'm pretty sure he doesn't own pants. This show felt like a three hour so/so RAW. The first half was pretty ehh. First match I wanted to see with STAHHHHHHHDust and Goldust was pretty good. I was kinda hoping for a Dusty heel turn since he did that before for Cody. Kinda shocked that Goldust won but they played that off on tv like that was controversial or something with the way the referee counted. One thing that really annoyed me was after they showed a little video of Sun Studios, Lawler names Roy Orbison as part of the Million Dollar Quartet. How in the hell do you mix up Carl Perkins for Roy Orbison? Uso's vs. Team FACT was like a lot of Indy tag matches. All miscomunicated. MVP of the match was Natalya and that outfit of her's. I echo the feeling that all of this is just for a Wrestlemania moment for The Uso's dancing with their daddy at Wrestlemania. Cena/Rusev was a really good match killed by such a shitty and quiet crowd. Rusev winning in such a cheap heel fashion was great. Blah blah Cena wouldn't passout in the hold without trickery. Rusev won. That's all I care about. Bryan/Reigns was another match hurt by a quiet crowd. But it was still great. Bryan/Reigns for the title should be a fun rematch. It will be amusing seeing Roman beat Brock with a spear. Yeah I was pissed to see him win. I can only hope Bryan gets something better than the long rumored Sheamus match at Wrestlemania.
  13. Yeah, on the PWS show last week Craig Steele wore this hilarious Bam Bam Bigelow style outfit with pink flames. I assume he wore the same thing at this show. He is fat so it was acceptable under fat guy wrestling gear rules. It's good to see Dan Maff back up on top again after that whole thing that happened way way way back when he was in JAPW. Macintosh is a really good asshole on the tv show. Some fine heel work with him kidnapping and deporting poor Habib from the car wash.
  14. I was developing photos in my schools lab today when the lab tech came in with boxes that were donated. I rescued a vintage 8MM movie camera from the trash heap. Also got a bunch of lenses and another camera all because I happened to be one of two people in the lab today.
  15. Why would Punk have to have informed Amman it was MRSA? Isn't the idea that (according to Punk) Amman should have correctly diagnosed this and treated it properly? I mean, don't we normally expect our doctors to tell US what we have? Wasn't Punk's whole thing at least on the podcast that he was continually misdiagnosed and that he got the ZPack because of how run down he was becoming from the infection? If things happened the way Punk said they did, at the least he's at fault himself because he should have gotten a second opinion way sooner.
  16. The Survivor Series brown tights were pretty bad. Personally think his worst look was anything from when he switched to baggy pants in the match against Kurt Angle at Wrestlemania up to his DX Lite stuff. His Ted Nugent look now is pretty bad and It doesn't help that he now has a lazy eye that gives Robert Gibson a run for his money.
  17. I wonder if this Doc did this outside of the WWE without their legal help. Now that Punk is in UFC, he's got access to The Ferritta Brother's and their pitball legal teams. That right there shows he isn't competent. But if Punk was given the much malined ZPACK and I'm sure can show video or photographic proof of wrestling with the huge staph infection, wouldn't that help Punk's defense?
  18. Holy Shit that's a lot of xplosion matches. Earlier yesterday on Twitter, Grado and others were doing this hashtag thing begging Madonna for permission to use "Like A Prayer" for one of Grado's entrances on Impact this week. Her people said no so/TNA and DA couldn't possibly afford the rights fee she probably charges. It's amusing though and at least they are trying. I haven't seen Grado wrestle yet but I hope he sticks around in TNA. I like his crazy hooligan family at ringside.
  19. Yeah, Austin said that. Heels can't do anything rasslin wise that a heel would be expected to do.
  20. It would be a great Wrestlemania Moment to see The Wyatt's reunite. Bray can play it off that he set them free so that they could learn how much they really needed a loving family. Harper there was at least a little character development. With Rowan they made it out that he was some kind of savant (home wine maker and all)...but never did anything with it. Of course constantly losing to The Big Show didn't help.
  21. Hagman was a well oiled machine with those five kidney's and three livers. Seriously though since Vince isn't a "talent" anymore, isn't that the legal loophole the WWE uses not to wellness test him? It used to be when Sabu died his autopsy would be interesting to see. But I agree. Vince's will be something else. It's gonna be up there with Elvis's.
  22. i'm blocked by Hogan. I'm not even sure why. I wish Twitter had a thing to say what tweet did it. Had to be something I replied to him about with TNA.
  23. I fell asleep before RAW and woke up just in time to see Flair come on out. Watched a couple of mins of it before putting on Better Call Saul. Why do they keep punishing us with Big Show matches? You know maybe 15 years ago when he was somewhat imposing they were a novel idea. But since every possible Big Show match has been done to death, I would much rather see the guy the lesser the better. Don't get me wrong. I still like Big Show the wrestler. But Big Show the character is beyond played out. Assuming Roman ends up winning at Wrestlemania, if he doesn't become an entitled prick because of just who he is related to all of this will be for naught.
  24. It's just too bad she won't do Whitney Houston anymore for obvious reasons. I think at one point Mya tried to do the Beyonce Super Bowl pose in which kudos to her. Mya was always one of my favorites. I am sad. No Coneheads, Not enough Piscopo. The Blues Brothers should have got the damn closing number. ‪Back in the late 90's, Jim did the Blues Brothers with Dan and John as a trio. Jim was another brother as was John (the one from BB 2000). I originally was hoping he would have done that movie back then but it didn't happen. Had they done that tonight to close the show it would have been acceptable...along with the surviving members of the BB Band. Also no Church Lady. How did they not do a Church laday skit with Carvey there? The Eddie Murphy thing was just sad. All that hype and just for that. They should have thrown another zero at him just to get him to do Mr. Robinsions Neighborhood with him complaining about all these damn hipsters who gentrified it.
  25. The first episode started off so slow but man it picked up. The second episode was just great. You never really got an idea of how good of a negotiator Saul could be in Breaking Bad. Sure there were some instances of it, but they never really explored it. Him talking down Tuco from killing the two nitwits to just breaking one leg each was amazing. That was Emmy worthy stuff. Its interesting to see that Sual (Jimmy at this point) still has morals and ethics so I really want to see what causes him to flip that switch and go to where he has gone. As for Michael McKeean, I just assumed he was a severe agorphobic which is why hes so off the grid/paranoid of outside eletronics. He's sort of like Gene Hackman in Enemy of the State.
