  1. Watching the '96 KOTR. Everyone only remembers Austin's speech but there was an awesome, underrated main event with Shawn and Davey. Great pacing - good mixture of technical work and high spots. Everything in the match has a purpose and means something. This feels kind of like what Bret/Shawn at WM should have been structure wise. One big goof where Davey goes to the top rope for no reason and basically trips and falls, and the finish with 2 refs is wonky, but I'd say it's the 3rd best WWF match of 1996 behind Bret/Austin and Shawn/Foley.

  2. Is AJ taking time off? Is he injured? Either of those would really suck. I want him on my tv every Tuesday.

    We can debate whether or not the title switch should have happened now, but DB is CLEARLY better as a heel, so I like the move. Gonna be uber pissed if Brock injures him though.

    Assuming he's not injured, AJ has to win the Rumble now, right?

  3. No way I would have Becky lose on Sunday. They probably will, but it's stupid. I'd even accept a screwy finish under these circumstances.

    Lesnar just bores me at this point. Heyman is still amazing, obviously.

    Totally down for a Balor/Drew match at TLC.

  4. I would be fine with Drew being the guy to beat Lesnar for the belt, honestly.

    Put the IC strap on Elias. He's actually pretty hot right now and Seth is stale, plus he's gotta build the program with Dean.

    Finn needs to be on Smackdown. His talent is going to waste. Could have some good work with Nakamura, Styles, Bryan, etc.

  5. Of course they're protecting Ronda, she's the biggest star in the company with a legit fighting background. She shouldn't ever lose. MAYBE to Asuka or Charlotte at Wrestlemania by shenanigans.

    Fuck DX. Man, I loved their stuff in 1997. I was a 12-year-old kid doing the crotch chop behind the teacher's back in middle school. But now in 2018? Shawn just has to pull a Michael Jordan and screw up the perfect finish to a career. Have fun, peanut head.

    Finn Balor and Bayley together - how perfect. Both workers who came in with great potential and hype, only to be poorly booked into permanent mid-card status.

    I might be the only one who doesn't care about the Shield. Don't care for them as a tag team or singles wrestlers.

  6. I'm also just really exhausted by the WWE "big match" style. Love Rock/Austin and Taker/Shawn, but it's just boring at this point. Honestly think a lot of the fatigue is Cena doing that in all his big matches, but maybe that's just me.

  7. Wrestlemania has become it's own worst enemy, it's just an overbooked spectacle, it's not wrestling.

    As already mentioned, everyone gets booked. Gone are the days where HBK and Razor can say fuck the other guys, we're putting on a classic. And when you finally have an opportunity (AJ/Nak) they book it as being "OMG greatest match eva!!!" for two months and put it in hour 6 when the crowd is long gone and it can't possibly deliver. If the show was 3 hours long again, we would be talking about it in a more positive fashion.

    I did enjoy Charlotte vs. Asuka.

  8. I wouldn't blame any wrestler that works for that company for protesting the shitty booking. Sami shouldn't be losing right now, he just made the turn and he's one of the most interesting parts of the show.

    This just happens way too often now, the matches don't really mean anything. AJ Styles, the new champion, was pinned clean by Baron Corbin just weeks ago...for what? Jinder Mahal has a long feud with Randy Orton, wins the PPV matches, comes out on top...turns right around and jobs to Orton clean on a random Smackdown. And how is anyone expected to take Balor seriously knowing he could be beaten in minutes by old man Kane? It's fucking stupid and unnecessary.

    So wait, you mean to tell me they're charging $150 for this when the NXT edition last year was a mere $80?  And it's only for PS4/XBox One?  Now that's some high-quality bullshit right there.  I'm sure it's nice to have the figure, plaque and whatever else but now way in hell will I get that.  But knowing how this works I'll have to wait for the playable characters advertised in this until months later.  And honestly I'd rather just get the game and season pass, don't feel a strong need to get Batista/RVD or alternate skins of Cena/Angle.

    On a good note it's coming out for Switch and I'm delighted as one can be.  While I wish Fire Pro was for Switch this will do just fine for me, also helps we love this system very much.

    All playable characters (Angle, RVD, Batista, 2X Cena) come day one with the Deluxe versions, not just the Collector's Edition.

    Won't use those guys much outside of Angle, but I'm glad I don't have to wait like I did with the NXT roster last year.
