That isn't going to happen and you are being overly paranoid.

Yeah there were promos for Lacey and Sheamus talking about entering the Chamber two weeks ago, but plans clearly changed when they announced the tag titles match.

Eh the Hardys came in as themselves. Their hot gimmick was not available to due to legal battles with TNA. When they finally got back said gimmick WWE used it. It mostly died because Matt needed to heal from inuries.

Yeah the demo kept me up an extra hour or so. I have no regrets.

He is just coming in as a guest coach officially. I suspect talks beyond that wouldn't necessarily involve Akiyama unless he is an owner.

Going off of google translate he is coming in as a guest coach and to check WWE out in general. Doesn't sound like the actual owners are interested yet in selling. Interestingly enough it was the Summit show with WWF, AJPW, & NJPW that made him a fan, specifically Jumbo/Haku vs. Martel/Hennig.

I believe so.

Congrats. I'd love to do the same. I really want to go through a raid just once or twice to get some of the raid gear. I don't even think I can do the wish cheap for one so you will get no judgments from me.

I don't particularly dislike the look of Herald Thor, but its not likely to last past this particular arc I would imagine.

Pretty sure Bradshaw was already drunk when Styles knocked him out.

He worked the Toryumon Reunion show as a part of Italian Connection in January. Seems like the bad blood has probably lessened quite a bit for that to happen.

Read the first issue of the Rise of Kylo Ren. Solid enough start dealing with Ben just after the destruction of the Jedi temple where Luke was training him and others. Looks liek we will be getting to see more of his and Snoke's relationship. First two issues of Star Wars were solid-good. It was nice seeing an immediate follow up to Empire with Luke dealing with the knowledge of Vader as his father, the rebels torn and spread out, and how they dealt with Lando when the betrayal was still so fresh. Lando feels so on point so its pretty fun fun reading him. Finally finished the last issue of Aaron's Thor run with King Thor #4. That was an excellent conclusion to a wonderful run. Also ended up reading the first two issue of Cate's Thor run. The cosmic aspect could be interesting. I also like the slight tie in to Aaron's run with Galactus having likely seen his death to King Thor millions of years later. Overall its solid so far though nothing ground breaking. Aaron is going to be hard one to follow so I'm mostly just hoping Cates can provide something decently entertaining which has done well enough so far..

Its not a case of everything is fine so much as the sky isn't quite falling as much as some have a bad tendency to pretend/want. We have someone talking about the Fiend more or less being dead as a name when his challenge to Cena tonight got the massive cheers from the entire audience. That same thing happened when Rollins beat the Fiend last year only for the Fiend to continue to be a solid success . There is plenty wrong, but not every decision people dislike is the end of the world.

Because Wrestlemania is the biggest show of the year and people usually have had to earn their title shots for it. Beyond that I'm not sure they can really keep any sort of interesting build going just between Reigns and Goldberg unless they actually let one go heel and be a complete asshole on the mic. How many wins does Roman actually have? Doesn't actually feel like he built any sort of strong record the past six months, especially with so much of that being spent wrestling Corbin and co.

Goldberg/Roman got the reaction i expected. Kind of annoyed they skipped any pretense or build and are just goign straight into it. Roman should have to earn his title shot at WM like they normally do. Giving the Chamber match to the tag division feels random. Not super fond of it with only around four teams really feuding at the moment. Usos vs. Miz & Morrison was nice. Dug Kofi/Roode. Naomi/Lacey vs. Sasaha/Bayley was fun. I'm digging Gulak building up jobbers to take on Bryan. I'm curious if thy actually get a match at WM or if this just something to kill time for Bryan until then. I just hope the eventual match gets some decent time. The end with Cena and the Fiend was good. I like the idea of Cena trying to bow out gracefully and not steal a full timer's chance only for the Fiend to show up and basically demand the match. The reaction that ending got was massive. It definitely feels like the biggest match heading into Mania this year.

Eh it dropped yesterday. I'm 6 episodes in.

The Warlock stuff is annoying and unsurprising. There has been a weird bias there for years now though so I'm not shocked. Shoulder charge being nerfed a bit does not feel like bs to me. Both Warlocks and Titans have fairly overpowered melee. I have probably been killed by Hunter melee abilities less than a dozen times compared the dozens of times I've died to Titan and Warlock melee abilities. Since I don't play the classes I'm not really sure where they need real improvements on, but I suspect much of the stuff they do for them as far buffs go really should have only been applied in PvE content.

No idea. Maybe its easier on the knees to not do press slams. Honestly the other stff he does makes him stand out pretty well so I think its fine its not one he uses. I say give it to someone who needs it more. Oh, I remember now who does or used to do press slams, Apollo Crews. He uses/used a press slam standing moonsault combo. We just forget because the poor bastard is so rarely on tv and so rarely wins when he is.

Lifer will be on commentary for Stardom's No People GATE on 3/8.

I think Bianca Belair does them on occasion but not regularly. Otherwise no.

I dug the episode, but yeah I'm going to be so pissed if they don't survive.

I don't think Goldberg is a great choice, but I don't think he is such a terrible one either. I think any of the other other 100+ guys would have likely suffered for the win opposed to it actually raising their stock. I also wasn't saying there wasn't a better choice per say. I was legit just curious what people would have preferred to see.

I've actually skipped all of them but the first. I just read results on wiki or elsewhere.

You realize I'm talking from a strictly in ring perspective right? I haven't heard praise for his work there in years, and I'm not just talking about from DVDVR. Honestly, I'm generally ok with Bray's work. I actually have enjoyed the stuff with the Fiend. I just think its weird to claim people were speaking so highly of his work before the Fiend because I remember many being down on him then. They seemed to like the character, not his actual matches.

Its a case of different type of spectacles. People have certain expectations from each one. Neither translate to great matches per say, but Godlberg's style works just a little better towards title matches, especially with his history. As to why Goldberg/Reigns only makes sense for the title. The two have absolutely no beef with each other of whatsoever. You basically have make one look like an asshole to be going out of the way to start shit with other at this point. If they were willing to play a legit heel/face dynamic it would be fine, but with them likely wanting both guys to stay face a title on the line makes things easier.
