Surprisingly Sincere Man

This might be blasphemous to admit around here but I can't be the only one to find the whole thing boring as hell? I try to watch it every year but end up tapping out every time.

Supernatural just did a fun episode tonight where the lead characters got sucked through the TV into an episode of Scooby Doo.

Actually to be fair to Coach, it was actually both he and Cole who screwed up talking about Braun instead of Ronda. Graves corrected them but it definitely felt like they gave the game away.

UAE and Saudi Arabia are different countries. Is this airing live on the network or on a tape delay?

The 24 documentaries are some of the best things WWE does. I've enjoyed every one of them so far. Every woman came off as so likeable.

Has it been confirmed that there is a mystery partner?

What were the circumstances that led to Alundra Blayze leaving WWF with the title? Wikipedia just says that she was released from her contract due to the company being in financial difficulties. How come they never actually took the title (both the championship and the physical belt) off her first?

2 Booker Prize winners - The Sense of an Ending, Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha (really enjoyed both) 3 Pulitzer Prize winners - The Age of Innocence, The Old Man and The Sea, The Road (preferred the Wharton over the others) Not a prize winner list, but the list I prefer to judge myself against is a 100 English language novels from The Guardian a couple of years ago - https://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/aug/17/the-100-best-novels-written-in-english-the-full-list There I've got 7 (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Dracula, Heart of Darkness, The Age of Innocence, Brave New World, The Big Sleep, Lord of the Flies) Not as many as I'd like, but I own about 40% of the books on there so will look to remedy that over time.

It was Tor Kamata working under the gimmick name of Mr Moto.

Watching those clips posted earlier, I'm a little disappointed that I had fallen out of wrestling for a few years at that time. Crowd was molten for him.

Yeah he needs to wrestle like Regal, without any headbutts.

The Hogan nonsense at WMIX

I think it's his gimmick now. Isn't he the guy who didn't recognize anyone in a picture of John Cena and Nikki Bella?

They missed a gag but Strowman should've come out dragging an unconscious Kalisto or some other dweeb by the foot and said "Here's my partner ref!"

If Cena was a fan at WrestleMania he definitely would've been the idiot with the beach ball.

Surprised nobody on this board has mentioned Dolph Ziggler dropping a Seinfeld reference on the kickoff show. Roberts - "We've got a question here from Sue Ellen..." Ziggler - "Sue Ellen Mischke, the bra-less wonder?" Renee seemed to get the reference, Roberts didn't.

Maybe instead of the March madness tournament, we should do a "significant other ranks WWE wrestlers" poll type thingy and someone tabulates the results. I'm only half joking.

The Rollins vs. Reigns/Cena stuff was really, really good but I was disappointed when he was eliminated. I definitely thought they were going to do something special and have him wrestle the full match.

Braun Strumming

Rather than NJPW moving to a larger arena, why not just do what concert promoters do and add a second date the next night?

No, I watched a recording of the original broadcast. It didn't happen.

BTW just watching the women's rumble again. Trish doesn't do anything close to the tongue thing with Mickie. She holds up seven fingers and that's it.

I feel the surprise entrants in the women's rumble would've been better surprises if most of them hadn't been on Raw already this week.

Gonna have to disagree with this a bit. WWE commentators have been doing this thing for years where they completely telegraph kickouts. Ranallo did it at least twice tonight - "everything is academic from here" and the ubiquitous "we have ourselves a new champion" were sure signs that the kickout was coming.
