I did that during the episode. Lowered the contrast, and the brightness. It looked awful with those setting up.

Stomping Grounds? When I think of stomping grounds, I think of the phrase “Returning to my/our old stomping grounds”. Rey Mysterio main eventing, or is this “a phrase we copyrighted for a PPV, so dammit we need to use it, pal”?

Good choice... Didn’t think of it since Hall’s “Prime” is when he stopped juicing, and shrunk down.

Haven’t watched it in a long time, but I remember him just wrestling Goldust in the same good match every single week. Which was an issue I had with that program. Great stuff by the wrestlers the first couple of weeks, but what’s the incentive to watch Paul Birchhill Vs The Hurricane 5?

I’m not calling Sheamus a bad worker. I’m just saying Boss Man’s whole thing was that he was a safe big dude to work with, and great at selling/bumping. I mean that’s why he went from a jobber, to a guy who main evented with Dusty from town to town before Vince signed him. Sheamus on the other hand can have good matches on the average, is a good workout buddy, and can be super snug. They don’t compare at all. Bad workers are people like the Warlord, or Wrath. Guys who don’t bring anything to the table except a great look. Because you can’t base an entire career out of a look. Sheamus definitely does bring something, and shouldn’t be considered a bad worker. He’s just been miscast from the start, and the WWE has been bad at hiding his weaknesses, just like Baron Corbin.

HRGN TEETY UN NNR? What is the the hidden message?

Rick Rude wasn’t very subtle during his ECW run.

I’m not going to scour through newsletters, but there was a period of time where wrestlers were walking out of matches with Sheamus with an injury because he worked too snug. Like how wrestlers were walking out of matches with Rollins with an injury for a while. It’s just something I specifically remember that sort of kept pushing Sheamus’s singles career further down the card for a bit. Besides that Sheamus, and Big Bubba are completely different wrestlers. They don’t have similar physiques, promos, gimmicks, and in ring style. The only thing you can compare is The Great White’s finisher, and that time The Guardian Angel tried to asphyxiate Mr. JL with a bicycle. I can’t really think of anybody that Sheamus reminds me of from the past. Maybe Nikita? But Nikita was never dull. Barbarian? But Sheamus is a wayyyyy better worker than him.

You know who’s a better Boss Man comparison if he was booked correctly, had charm, and the right gimmick? ...Baron Corbin. Also helps a lot of his offense is inspired by Ray Traylor’s.

I have a feeling Euron will play a massive roll in the downfall of Cersei. On a side note... Barry is fucking awesome. Finally decided to give that show a chance yesterday, and I’m not disappointed.

Hmmmmmmmm... Did Boss Man have a reputation for hurting people? I apologize if I’m misremembering. I remember Boss Man being a great worker who’s offense looked like it hurt(but was safe), and made sure his opponents offense looked like it hurt worse.

Holy shit... I subscribe to a YouTube channel that uploads old CWF footage, and the channel just uploaded a legit dream match of The Road Warriors Vs. Harley Race & Stan Hansen! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=coquvUVdGXk

It is... A little bit on the Shane Douglas “Shitting on the old generation” side, but better written, and a little heartfelt. Edit:For those who haven’t seen it.

Hey, want to get into guys who didn’t wrestle like the way they looked. Rick Rude is #1 with a bullet. Looked like the toughest dude out of a military boot camp, but gave a shit ton to his opponents, and sold like his ass cheeks were on fire.

Still 100% than mid-90’s Taker.

Honestly I wonder if WCW nostalgia is one part of the issue that has fueled the hostility of the wrestlers who are frustrated with management. Probably not, but goddamn it, what if...

He’s eating artificial butter, with a side of popcorn.

That’s why I find it hilarious that Vince for years has tried to get the show further, and further away from the “fake sports” show vibe, and into the “We are a live drama, and deserve to nominated for an Emmy” route. Fans get tired of the purely scripted season driven dramas. As shown what happened with Lucha Underground. The right balance between both is always the right way. It’s easier to sucker them in with a product that blurs the line. Though, I’ve been able snap out of that appointment viewing habit by WWE’s more dramatic TV push. I think a mix of watching old episodes of Nitro, behind the scenes issues, plus kayfabe breaking YouTube videos, and charity segments on RAW started killing my interest.

I’d take her over another Alexa reign.

Oh crap, I forgot Lashley existed.

Ehhhhh... I wish they brought in a few of the non-Indy famous performance center rookies in for a month to do something like that.

Oh shit... They are ready to give somebody else the Stunner! If none of those two will get it, I hope Velveteen Dream gets it now.

Lots of Timothy Olyphant in that trailer. Makes it look like it’s squarely a Bullock movie. Now I want a Justified movie, or special with a decent budget, and actually shot in Kentucky.
