The Damn Yeti

Dat Nakamura match though. Voted Ibushi.

Should be waiting on me when I get home. Reviews seem very promising, except for Kotaku saying it's unplayably broken. That's the only place I've seen that though, so I wonder what the reality is.

At 34-0 this could get a bit boring. Anybody want to argue against current Goldust having the best face paint in wrestling history? It looks damn good, and way better than any point in his career.

I'm pretty neutral about Bray in the grand scheme of things. I like what the Wyatts are doing, and I appreciate that it lets me see Luke Harper a few times a week, but Bray is just a little too much. I think it's the spider walk. I really want him to stop doing that. The Mochi tag that Jae posted is a fun match, with good veteran ass-kickery. The punch spot referenced was really nice, and seemed like a "holy shit" kind of moment when you're used to never ending chop/elbow battles in Japan. I voted for Bray. Gregg basically pointed out the reasons why. I'm in the middle on him with regard to his promos, but he's good and getting better. I do like his collection of signature moves though, specifically his cross-body and Sister Abigail. The flash-finish application has been really good against Bryan and Rey this year. Also, a potential tie-breaker for Bray going forward: Following the EC PPV my friends and I have started using "Sister Abigail's Kiss" as a Ron Burgandy style exclamation.

If the only thing Mark Henry had going for him was coming out and getting destroyed by Brock every 8 weeks, I'd still vote for him.

I'm shocked that nobody has mentioned how light DB was working Dave. Obviously that was the deal between them, but in the new world E most everyone lays snug work in. It seemed like Bryan's drop kicks and kicks were a little sweet. Which isn't a knock, quite the opposite, because they still looked really good, and not out of place compared to the work he was doing with everyone else. For the few of you who didn't enjoy, please watch something else. This was the perfect Raw to build toward Mania, with maybe the exception of giving away the Uso win. But a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, and THAT FUCKING TEAM FROM 1998 AREN'T CHAMPIONS ANYMORE.

Are you asking who makes it further, or who is considered the best right now? Cause Rollins is the best, he's just got a shit draw having to deal with Cesaro in the Elite 8. I'd argue Reigns over Ambrose in the last year too. I'm of the Rollins > Reigns > Ambrose opinion. My usual metric for picking a favorite is "who would I most want to see wrestle Bryan?" but you could probably open that up to Cesaro or Brock and it wouldn't change much.

I think Zayn is first in line out the door to the big show, but I'm not a devoted NXT viewer, so I could be way off there.

If I somehow usurped the power of Sid and became the MASTER AND RULER OF THE WORLD I would use that power to book Miz in a handicap tag match against Brock Lesner and Cesaro. Just for you guys.

The Pick 'Em link is busted for me. Anybody get it to work? Some potential later round matchups that are chubbing me out: Sami Zayn vs. Luke Harper Goldust vs. Luke Harper Daniel Bryan vs. Brock Lesner (if only) Cesaro vs. SWAGsuke!!! Yes, please. Roman Reigns vs. KENTA??? Probably not, but I want it anyway. Final Four: Goldust (narrowly defeating Harper), Bryan, Cesaro, Reigns. #WWEBIAS

VOD is rock solid for me today on Mac/Chrome. Watched Arrival last night on Roku at home and had one buffering moment for about 20 seconds. Live stream on PS3 was good yesterday too. Looks like it's finally starting to firm up.

If this were just the 24 hour live stream I would still pay $10/month for it. Just fired it up at the office and Scott Steiner is murdering jobbers on Raw Flashback.

8 is the only Mania I've ever attended, and as such it's my favorite of 1-9. I'd say my top 5 are probably 8, 10, 17, 19, and 24, like others have said.

Razor Ramon "Make a Wish" video just played. I'm going to start getting pavlovian erections anytime the Video Vault graphic comes on.

Not until "she" gets her stuff together and can commit to VOD There's a cream for that. THEN TELL THEM TO FUCKING RUB IT ON SO WE CAN GET ON WITH THIS

Jim Duggan is not respecting the martial arts process. Col. Parker is 2-0 so far. I wish I could watch this with Ben.

OMG OMG OMG Hacksaw Jim Duggan is preparing to face Meng in a martial arts competition. Why do we talk about anything else around here?

Lubitsch's Design for Living & To Be or Not To Be are some of my favorite films in the collection. Riotously funny, and the sexuality is handled as well as any films from the Code era. I've not seen his musicals, but those sound very intriguing.

I saw the Cena doc a few times yesterday. Didn't really do much for me. I loved the Goldust bit, that was awesome. M.O.M. video, Duke Drose nailing a trick shot with his trash can like he was playing HORSE with MJ and Bird. Agree that the Joe commercial was really well done.

Giving VOD another try. Just fired up WCW Uncensored 95. Is there a less likely sentence to be uttered in a current WWE broadcast than "Live from Tupelo Mississippi!"?

I've never seen this Goldust/Piper street fight before. Holy hell, this is AMAZING.

Beauty and the Beast is outrageously good. The practical effects are beautiful and spooky, and the alternate orchestra audio is a great second watch.

The Men on a Mission music video has covered my first month's investment. I've really enjoyed the Legends roundtables this afternoon. I also got to see the Cesaro/Zayn 2/3 falls match.

I've been to 4 Hammerstein shows and sat in the first row balcony and first row floor. There's something really awesome about both, but first row floor isn't clearly better.

Obviously delivering on the promise is extremely important, but if I have to watch the live stream all week before VOD gets its shit together, I'm okay with that.
