The Sheamus "Fella" shirt may be the greatest thing I've ever seen.

Finally watched the turn just now and actually felt it was pretty well done. I'm assuming we eventually get a callback to Rollins leaving them vs the Wyatts as a way to say the seeds were planted for a while. I think it's as simple as turning one of the Shield creates new matches. Who were the Shield going to go against next? What was Orton's next series? HHH? Just by changing up Rollins, there's extra juice and more shit to watch. I hear the posts about Ambrose being the better heel, but fuck if that guy hasn't been out Ricky Mortoning Ricky Morton the past couple of months as a face. No bullshit at the live event in AC I attended Ambrose went from the guy you cared least about in a Shield-Wyatt match to the most over- babyface of the night so far while taking his beating. (At least until the Reigns finishing sequence followed by Bryan, in fairness). Maybe WWE wants to see if he can thrive in that role longer, figuring they can always turn him heel if need be or he loses steam.

Good Wrestlemania. Shocking finish to the Taker match and the right guy came out with the title. My brother hasn't watched wrestling in 10 years. He asked "who the fuck is Daniel Bryan?" After seeing Twitter. I gave him my Network login and his response was "Holy fuck, they love this guy. "

Was at the Atlantic City WWE house show last night. Dean Ambrose played Ricky Morton in a Shield vs Wyatts six-man and it was fucking glorious. By the end of the match, he was probably the most-over babyface on the card besides Bryan and Reigns.

I don't get the breakup of the Shield. It doesn't seem necessary to me at this point. And all three are better than the "Best in the World" right now.

I gotta call BS as well. If he would've worked a 2-hour match it would've gone down in the annals of wrestling and still be talked about today, even if it were an arena match. Watts told the story on Busted Open on SiriusXM and just said they stretched the show and he worked a 45 minute match or some shit with double juice and that he didn't even talk to his opponent, let alone walk through the match beforehand. The point was, guys in his time were better workers because they could improvise more and go without a script. He was laughing about guys walking through a 5 minute squash backstage during his WWF time covering for Vince.

But the make-up sex is great! ...Holy Christ, you just described my marriage better than any therapist could. It's like you're hiding in my closet.

I haven't bought a PPV in 2 years and figured WTH? They can't fuck this up. Don't I have egg on my face? All week I've be em thinking about a Punk line from the pipe bomb promo : "Vince is a millionaire that should be a billionaire". The card was oddly booked. NAO go over clean. Bryan losing clean is fine, assuming you get the later payoff in the Rumble. The Lesnar-Show match was odd. Cena-Orton, while I like both, were set up to fail. And they somehow managed to get that crowd to shit on their two big returns, CM Punk, Roman Reigns, at least until they were fooled into thinking he might win, and fucking Rey Misterio. They have a big pile of money with Bryan and they seemingly don't want it.

Ole and Dusty promos are why God created YouTube.

Lawler having a chuckle while recapping it didn't exactly help get it over either.

If I subscribe and my 11 year old wants to watch, say, a John Cena documentary on his iPad while I want to watch Starrcade 83 on mine, will I need to have two subscriptions?

That Michaels promo was utter shit. If he didn't want to job to Hogan, he shouldn't have come back. Don't come back and take the WM check and then shit all over it.

I don't even know what he said, and I've only seen Onita wrestle maybe once or twice, but that might be one of the greatest non-Dusty promos I've ever seen.

I always hated Hogan teaming with Orndorff in that SS. Yeah, it's wrestling, but fuck, those guys shouldn't have teamed again, ever.

I actually liked the last two Luger promos. Weird.

This is the greatest heel beat down from my youth. Our dad was out for the night and I'm still surprised none of the neighbors called the cops from the yelling in our house. Old school shit.

Watching the Wargames DVD. After the first two matches, it's clear to me that Tully is my biggest disappointment from that era, in that he should be looked at as a fucking legend. His selling was magnificent and he had a dirty sort of realism to his offense. Drugs fucked this guy out of a long career, in my opinion. Ray Traylor was pretty great in the Miami match, though you knew he was taking the job before the match even started. It was funny that he was billed as a monster, but, of course, Dusty got to body slam him. Animal and Dusty seemed to just do the same spots in both matches, and Ellering essentially came in with the spike in both matches and ran around poking people in both matches. I felt Ellering, who I only really knew as a manager at that time at 13/14 years old, looked way too strong against the World Champion. DVD is awesome so far.

Just catching Raw now after coming home from the in-laws on UHD. RVD looked like the old RVD in that Jericho match. The hit spots, the missed spots, he looked like it was 5 years ago. That senton off the top rope was pretty swank.

It's entirely possible I'm jaded by seeing a lot of early Page after his managing stint with that assessment, to be fair. Between 95-99, the quality of his opponents went up considerably, in my opinion. Any of us could look good working the likes of Benoit, Raven, Bigelow, Kanyon, Hall, etc every night.

DDP and especially Luger were my first two thoughts when seeing this thread topic. Both of those guys could be really good paired up with the right guy and just be awful with the wrong guy.

Big men that I feel are clearly better than Henry have all been named. Vader, Big Show/Giant, and Yokozuna. After reading the thread, I also have liked Abdullah, OMG, and Ray Traylor better than Henry. Hulk Hogan? He's pretty fucking big and, honestly, his best work in my opinion is miles ahead of anything I've seen from Henry.

It's clear that the Wyatt Family will have some sort of impact on the PPV or they would have held off a week to debut them.
