It's great that they've let wwe.com off the leash as it were -

I doubt that Dalai Lama quote is accurate. This ain't Facebook; get this shit out of here.

Owens is NXT Champ having reported to the Performance Center August 25. Yeah it's partly because they know he's a reliable opponent for Zayn, and it might even be a Chris Hero burn to a point, but Trips has love for Kevin no two ways.

Agreed. the selfie stick is win and should hopefully bring him wins.

JYD was also the most popular worker named Hulk Hogan.
Hogan's been known to say some crazy stuff in interviews, but that's a stretch even for him.

He'll reclaim it eventually, I think. I mean, people started using the Crippler Crossface again and that has a way worse association. Or maybe he could evolve and get a new finish. I'm not sure he could use the GtS well on the main roster.
In defence of reissuing the crossface within a year of Benoit's death, even WWE crowds aren't low down enough to really get behind a Benoit chant.
I still can't believe MVP thought he would get away with a tribute Benoit triple german + headbutt complete with 'throat slash' & 'point to the heavens'. Glad the crowd shit all over it.

Total Divas giving me the mental image of Daniel Bryan pulling out was bad enough.

Maybe the E really is losing this board.
I watched the Paige segment and the BNZ bit. I'll dip in and out, but my commitment to even fast-forwarding through the show has gone.

A billion gold stars to anyone who can locate McDonald vs Buff Bagwell from WCW Worldwide.

This is probably the best triple team move ever. The Lifting Crucifix Bull Charge Flip of Death (and yes, it ended the fall, god dammit)
Now I think of it, the Wyatt Family probably missed a trick by never doing it.

+1 for Graves. Riley: Stay Down.

As far as NXT callups go, there's been:
-Paige-Definitely not a bust. She's traded the belt with AJ and Nikki and is on Total Divas.
-Rollins-Definitely not a bust.
-Emma-After Santino's retirement not much happened.
-Ascension-Wait and see but so far a bust.
-Sandow-In FCW mainly, cup of coffee in NXT. In best role yet, but doesn't count as NXT for me.
-Roman definitely doesn't count as he was only in FCW, but they're claiming him as an NXT guy.
I'm blanking on others.
Wow, I have to take back my earlier statement, there's been some great callups. I think that because they never trumpet that Rollins was in NXT people tend to forget he was there. As far as testing the waters, there was a good reaction to the tag match they had on Raw. Zayn and Neville really shone in that. And people reacted quite favorably to Charlotte/Sasha from Main Event. So there is cause for hope going forward.
There's also:
Big E - New Day is not looking like much so far, but Big E has not exactly been a bust.
Bo - Bo has been great. He's been in a supporting role, but he almost got faceturned by the crowd because people dig the act. He's fine.
Rusev - definitely not a bust.
Adam Rose - okay, he's been a bust but they rushed the act on to TV.

I hated the 'Flair in a mental institution' angle at the time, but, damn, that angle has legs. Now it seems like one of the more memorable (to me) things WCW did in the later years.
Given that's probably the only time Ric Flair's been on the BBC (Louis Theroux), it kinda is now one of his big moments.
-
I feel like Martin Prince tied up in the treehouse here, but two years ago they simply could have plugged Roman into the World Heavyweight Title match and relegated him to the opener.

Interesting start to the newest Glasgow derby.

LONDON, my brother reports:
Spud wins X Title, Kurt Angle wins World Title. Great show.

Ah yeah, I would struggle with the no beer thing. Well made beer is kinda nutritious anyway.
Ultimately DDP's diet plan is one of many out there and if it doesn't work for you then find another one. From what I can tell, you are allowed dairy - just not cow dairy. From what I know about the beef industry, I'm definitely pro going organic for milk (unless you know and trust the farmer the milk comes from). Yoghurt is more easily digestible than milk. Heating milk can break down lactose. There are definitely intermediate steps here, it's not all or nothing.

The one part I'll have difficulty with is the foods. Generally around here they're pretty damn expensive, so I'm going to need to find ways to at least work some of that in.
Getting organic food is sometimes expensive, but that's only if you go Level 3 right? What specifically is holding you back?
Not trying to be mean, just curious.

Last Saturday I had one of those 'Enjoy By' beers that Stone Brewing Company do a few times a year, after being told I was a 'fucking moron' by a Mikkeller Bar bartender for missing out previously. It was pretty damn ggood though probably not worth the small fortune I shelled out for it. Cool to get an US IPA that fresh though.

There's some truth in that, but Jim Cornette was right on this one when he stated that Jarrett 'isn't a lead, he's the best friend'. He's a good solid #2 guy but he's a pretty crappy Darth Vader. Almost all his best work comes from when he's not actually trying to be the top guy.
