    You're right to a point, but most business relationships of lasting value are built on a certain amount of trust. If you have to get everything in writing, then you're in a bad place and it's probably time to move on.

    I look forward to Daniel Craig being asked the inevitable question........
  3. StretchMediatedHypertrophy
    That was reported in February; Jericho has had a similar issue since 2008 and manages well enough.

    He probably got bullet points from somebody, though he may of course be lying.
  5. StretchMediatedHypertrophy
    I don't think he actually needs the kick if he's going to jump like that - but he should totally be busting that out here and there; Santino was doing a sort of Stunner as part of his offence so I see no real issue.

    The last Wembley taping sucked, and I think they may have hurt the draw. We'll see I guess, but I am not sure why I'd go see the current roster have 5 minute matches.

    Cesaro didn't make Swagger relevant, if anything Zeb made them both relevant. But right now, Swagger is the more compelling character. He'll have to stop hurting people if he wants a push, but I think he's been pretty good in the babyface role and I think it's a pity he was replaced by "the arrival of Erick Rowan" at Survivor Series.

    I know; sad state of affairs when you're overjoyed about beating the team at the bottom of the table - but so it goes. Rodgers seems to have made a call re:Gerrard. Sunderland at Anfield on Saturday - three points there and we're rolling.

    Looks like there won't be much of a roster if Styles keeps going.......the thing about not tucking your head doesn't play if you're going to fall on your ass, as he just did against Kojima.

    It does??? Yeah, apparently it will be moved to June. Wouldn't surprise me if Rollins cashes in here. The idea is that Lesnar will meet whoever wins the Rumble. It is a bit ridiculous that noone has asked about where the fuck Lesnar is on RAW. I mean, a champ just needs not to show up now to avoid defending their title. I understand that Lesnar kinda has them held to ransom, but they could at least explain this on TV.

    It's still difficult to access the actual AoW site, though I see the itunes list (I refuse to actually install itunes though) - can anyone recommend any of the recent podcasts, other than the Punk one obv? Although Colt has obviously decided it was worth the risk, there is a question over how much heat he has with WWE - is anyone hoping for a development deal now going to avoid his show? I hope he's got a good line up of follow-up guests so that he can capitalise on the attention.

    I think a simple thing WWE or any promotion with tv could do is put up a graphic when a champion wrestles stating how long they've held the belt, maybe number of successful defenses, win/loss record against their opponent, etc. People are so into fantasy sports and statistics these days that quantifying wrestling seems like a natural fit.

    A little bit peripheral, but Alexei Sayle (Old British Alt-comedian, you may remember his recurring appearances on The Young Ones) wrote a piece on why ballroom dancing blows - I thought it was quite amusing, partly because it's kind of a parallel with the Fandango gimmick shift: http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2014/nov/29/alexei-sayle-marxist-demolition-of-strictly-come-dancing 'gurning faces' - I think he's actually seen Summer Rae!
  14. StretchMediatedHypertrophy
    Yes. I think his overpush kinda hurt him more than helped him......though he's probably found a way to live with main-eventing Wrestlemania and being the only heel other than HHH to walk in and out with the WWE Title. I was thinking about this today....The Miz kicked out of a second AA against John Cena. To me that was so incongruous that it should have become part of his gimmick i.e. nugget that won't flush. Felt like a missed opportunity, and at least a face-turn would have been based on something.
  15. StretchMediatedHypertrophy
    It was a best of TNA at Thanksgiving or something.
  16. StretchMediatedHypertrophy
    Well there's just been a thread locked, but basically WWE and Punk have come to a legal agreement vis a vis past and future royalties - but any terms are for us not to know and not to find out.
  17. StretchMediatedHypertrophy
    Colt made a comment about a 2nd generation wrestler not being seriously punished in FCW after nearly killing someone in a drunk driving accident. He was talking about Ted Dibiase Jr and all news articles said the other individual in the accident was not seriously hurt. Well played sir. According to this, http://www.mc.edu/beacon/spring-2014/features/wrestling-calling DiBiase fell asleep at the wheel so Colt's comment is pretty fair comment I'd say - assuming that's what he was talking about.
  18. StretchMediatedHypertrophy
    The Miz has pretty much always been fine as long as he's not actually in the main-events, or trying to work babyface. His new gimmick has really given him a new lease though.
  19. StretchMediatedHypertrophy
    We won. That is all.
  20. StretchMediatedHypertrophy
    If I'm going to get labelled a gimmick poster, I may as well run with it and point out how allowing me to unleash the BANHAMMER would solve all of this.

    Austin looks like shit if he doesn't, and Vince too probably. Vince is probably better off saying that he doesn't want to turn this already planned interview into a response to CM Punk's near 2 hour podcast; he'd take issue with some of the things Punk said, and there are other sides to this story, but broadly speaking he is entitled to his opinion and there are always things WWE can do to improve.
  23. StretchMediatedHypertrophy
    Cody Rhodes has denied that he was referring to Colt Cabana who he 'doesn't know' (vaguely plausible given that Rhodes was on the RAW brand, and that Rhodes was finishing up in OVW when Colt went there) - I doubt anyone really believes him though.
  24. StretchMediatedHypertrophy
    Would put this in the Survivor Series thread, but......I just noticed rewatching the main-event that when Harper and Roawn face-off, Cena rips Harper with a "Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah". Nice touch there.
  25. StretchMediatedHypertrophy
    To be fair, they clearly are going for a deeper main-event and upper midcard picture - Ambrose, Rollins, Reigns & Ziggler are now there or thereabouts, with Rusev in the picture and Harper/Rowan/Ryback coming back strong. They deserve credit for that, though arguably the roster split was better at ensuring that in the first place.
