Have we ever talked about how men in WWE lose their first name and the women lose (or never have) their last names?
Did Bayley, Lana, or Naomi, for example, ever even have a "last name"?
Bayley was "It's Bayley" , but other than that, I don't believe so!

Yeah, not a great week. After diligently getting 5 workouts in last week, I was totally smoked this week and only got in two, plus one stretching session tonight, before my shift.
Yes, the night shift as well as yet more snow didn't help matters, but things aren't as bad as they were two weeks ago. But my legs are shot. No leg day this week (again) and yet they are stiff and sore.
Both workouts were very ordinary and sadly did not get to try any of Gordi's suggestions, as of yet. But at least Gorilla Row looks like something I need to give a go.
Weight is pretty much maintained at 185-188lbs and working the nights seems to have a bit of a negative effect on my appetite as of late.
We shall see, if I can bounce back next week, or is this the beginning of running myself into the ground that I was worried about? I still need to hang in there for a couple more weeks, before the longer time off. Wouldn't want to mess that up.

How long did people suspect MJF would be part of a faction with FTR?
Yeah, I seem to recall someone putting it out there, maybe once, I don't know. Or, maybe that didn't happen, and I remember wrong. I mean, who the hell knows, anymore?

OH OH OH
Jake and Sting are kinda feuding again! So that's neat!
Let's see if there will be any subtle references to a DDT(s) on a steel chair, a coal miner's glove, a snake biting someone's face or spinning wheels in the coming weeks. Anything to give it a little continuity would be super cool!
...SMG seems to have a similar train of thought, albeit from a different standpoint....

I don't know how much of that can be attributed to the fact that they are a publicly traded company, and how much is the fact that he is a blind old geezer with no grasp on reality. Either way we are all the better for it.
Yeah, last thing we need is some crazy old person using Twitter as a platform to spout out insane things. Be glad that NEVER happened. We all dodged a giant bullet there!

Well, I'm glad this community could give guys at this level some pointers on how to get out of a shitty situation with a combination of logic and comedy. That went about as well as it could ever have.

all of us felt burned.
Well, the fans were the only ones getting burned on this one. Considering how things went, at least Kingston would probably prefer some minor burns rather than looking like a moron.

For better or worse, this is the first PPV since original Double or Nothing to garner 30 pages of discussion. I mean sure, a lot of it is critical, but there is more discussion and therefore interest than there has been in a good while. And it seems that there are people taking part in this discussion that I haven't seen before or in a good while, so that tells you something as well. Even if most of this crew is among those who are "already watching".

No dude, it's gotta be the Waterproof Blonde version or nothing.
Well, I just added BOTH versions on one of my gym playlists last night!

And oh, I thought I was the only one who liked the "Anvil"/New Foundation/Heavenly Bodies theme.
No, it seems like that theme gets a decent amount of much warranted love around here! I was really glad they recycled the theme and gave it to Bodies at the time.
On another note, Heavenly Bodies vs Beverly Brothers could have been an interesting match, had it ever happened, and had it been given 10 minutes or so.
...Only now saw Petrol's post and I swear I was going to mention that it's unfortunate that Shane Douglas' theme wasn't recycled in a similar way for somebody else!

It was. I feel like High Energy used it as well as the Beverly Brothers before they got their Sonic the Hedgehog level theme.
Almost. It was New Foundation and Owen as a single before joining Koko in High Energy. The Beverly Brothers first theme was similar, but not the same. It can be found on one of those Uncaged compilations issued by WWE (on Spotify, at least) It was titled "Brothers".

No such thing.
I mean unless it's pork or chicken (and a steak by definition, isn't) this the truth, not that it had nothing to do with the point itself. If I was using that particular metaphor, I would have said "the steak felt overcooked", but that's neither here nor there, either.

In regards to the blue dot story, I bet Christian's face looked especially ratty when sneezing in front of Vince at some point! Completely rhetorical, but seriously WTF is literally wrong with Vince's brain? Well, it is wonderful that there are slightly more options, if one wants to continue as a wrestler even if the owner of the biggest company dislikes you because of something I'm sure even Vince himself couldn't fully explain.

This thread will soon be full of fun Christian TV matches.
At a first glance, I read this wrong and was wondering what wrestling is there on "Christian TV"? But yeah, you mean once he gets going on Dynamite. That should be quite the treat, with the right opponents.

Edit: Valentine was IC champ at the first Wrestlemania and US champion at the first Starrcade. Not sure what a star is if that doesn't qualify.
The list of guys who were an IC Champion at a Wrestlemania AND an US Champion at a Starrcade, isn't all that long to begin with , so it should count for something !

They are close to turning into late 1994 WCW where they had a really good roster and decided mostly by Hogan that they needed to bring in WWF guys in order to go to the top nationally. Although I won't put Christian in the category of Jim Duggan, Honky Tonk Man, and the Brutus Beefcake who had no business in the promotion. At least they are going with the solid mid carders.
Remember when AEW started there was all the talk that they (well, Cody at least) wanted it to be like early 90's WCW and at least some folks were getting really excited about the prospect. Well, I'm sure in their minds, that's EXACTLY the part of the early 90's they were all clamouring for! Holy shit!

What do you do to get revenge on the dastardly heel who "blew up" the hero?
Theme-music distraction for the roll-up pin in the next match the heel has with some midcarder? Or wait, was the question somewhat rhetorical in nature?
I'll just add a theory on Eddie's selling onto this one. Maybe he was so mortified and embarassed that he "risked his life" to help out Mox of all people, then realized that there was no real explosion/ danger coming, so he actually passed out from the shame he felt for being duped like that? I mean, he's a proud and a stubborn man, who probably likes to think of himself as being smart, wily and cunning. Being made to look like dork by a geek like Kenny, probably ate away at him in such an instantaneous manner, that he couldn't take it and passed out.

Yeah, I know that diet, apparently it involves no carbs and a metric shit-ton of protein and supplements. Jinder has been on it for the same damn thing for half a dedade.
But yeah, gaining almost any amount of mass to any tiny frame is possible with enough chemicals injected into one's bloodstream. We were wondering if he could do it within the "Wellness Policy"-bounds? Well, no we weren't even doing that. It was more like, another guy who wasn't on steroids/HGH is now (or would be soon after hitting the main roster) on at least something.
Oh, and I would never wax my philosophical on a wrestling message board (or anywhere else , where there 's a bunch of other people ) , I'm just not that kind of a person!

L.A. Knight just sounds like a pair of sneakers from the 90's.
I was thinking about the name and was wondering if he used to say Eli Drake ( that used to be his name, right?) with similar cadence? If you stretch saying "Eli" it could be said in a similar manner as one would say "L.A." I may be way off the mark here, since I have not seen anything at all by him prior to this, but I thought there may a tinge of sense in the otherwise stupid name. That would probably be pretty easy to find out by checking out his earlier promos, but I'm not arsed to do such things at the moment.

Yeah and I have this innate suspicion of anyone's nattyness, if they are both bigger AND more ripped than I am. Well, Dunne only checks one box (take your pick which one), but I'm painfully aware of (my) natty limits these days. Dunne at this point, is absolutely and totally within natural limits, but he got there suspiciously fast, given where he was before.
Considering he LOST weight in order to look the way he does now, adding any more lean muscle at this point, while retaining the cut would be hard af! And as you said, he must have been working out for more than a decade now anyway, so no noob gains, whatsoever.
Since he has been as successful as he has, I'd hate for him to have to bulk up with steroids to the point where he loses some of his athletic ability, just to fit better on the main roster. But that doesn't even guarantee anything! Alesteir Black inflated his pecs something fierce, and Vince still didn't "get" his character (shocking, I know)!

'bullying vegan douchebag who think he's Ronnie Coleman but really isn't all that' might actually be right down Vince's alley.
With proper writing, this could have some mileage in it!

He won't be able to recomp at that bodyfat level natty

Yeah, it does take something away from his previous aura, in which he looked like a school-yard bully in a fake-fur vest and a singlet. The current look may help him if he ever gets demoted to the main roster, but I guess he would have to maintain the current level of cut and still "find a way" to ADD maybe 30 lbs back into his frame. He could ask for those pounds Trent has no use for, but he'd need it to be lean muscle mass, and Trent can't help him there!
