Alex Riley actually told us that 8 man tags usually last longer because more guys means more stamina.
Thanks, big guy. He's like Pepper Brooks with no charisma.

So, Curt Hawkins is cosplaying AJ Styles, right?
Sadly, I already like him more. ;(

We need more lapsed fans to post time capsule wrestling reviews.
So, what's up with Benoit?
just texting

Ordinarily I wouldn't be in favor of a wrestler shaving his head, but in Aiden's case, I'd definitely make an exception.
Michael Elgin is another case, incidentally.
Curtis Axel

please make Alex Riley go away from microphones

If they wanted to play on biker club history more, Aces and Eights as Dixie's hired security a la Hell's Angels to help keep the peace would be the way to go.

As for the War Games fantasy booking, I'd love a scenario where D-Bry, Cody, Ziggles and Miz need one more for their team after Big Show is forced to join the Corpolution, and Dusty comes out and begs to be the fifth man on their team, and to "seal it with a hug and a kiss" like that money-ass promo from 94 with Dustin. Then, the Shield takes out Dusty, so Daniel & Cody ask Dustin to join. Not Goldust, but Dustin, because Dustin's been in War Games before. Dustin gets all sad and shit because he's nothing without the bodysuit & makeup, and he knows it. So the night of War Games he shows up painted, and the crowd goes apeshit. Before he bleeds for our amusement.
You lost me after including The Miz.

Im sure RVD and Dolph must have been thrilled at being labelled "rank and file"
Actually in the wide shot I thought RVD was Santino. ;(

Next time folks bellyache for three weeks about why the babyfaces aren't doing anything and they're all spineless, please remember that this is why they didn't do anything for three weeks. Because the worse things get, the more it means something when the Samoan Swat Rockers and Dolph Gunn finally lead the charge to save Daniel Bryan. Damn that was fun.
Steve Martin explained in "Born Standing Up" about the old theory in comedy about what a joke actually is. The set-up builds the tension. The punchline releases that tension. The more tension you build, the greater the release for that tension. The art in comedy comes in figuring out what's too much or too little tension and the significance of the release. And the real artists -- the best in the business -- know how to build and release that tension many times throughout the course of a set.
Wrestling's the same logic: Angles build tension in the storyline and the releases come in other ways. Last night was the first great cathartic release after a few weeks of the heels running roughshod. Now we'll see how they build that tension back up again.
Yeah, the longer the Rhodes are an unknown, and the longer Big Show has to keep killing friends and loved ones, the better.

Lucas Black has been added to the cast to reprise his role from Tokyo Drift. From Deadline.com
http://www.deadline.com/2013/09/lucas-back-is-back-behind-the-wheel-for-fast-furious-7-and-beyond/
EXCLUSIVE: Lucas Black, who starred in Fast & Furious 3: Tokyo Drift, is returning to reprise his Sean Boswell role in Fast & Furious 7. Black, most recently seen as Pee Wee Reese in the Jackie Robinson film 42, has signed a deal that calls for his character to become a regular in the series and he will be part of at least the next three installments of Universal Pictures’ most lucrative film franchise. Fast & Furious 7 will be released next July 11.Great news. He is fantastically terrible in Tokyo Drift. Seeing him in the next one will be like dropping Tommy Wisseau into the cast and I'm pretty pumped for it.
These movies seriously have something for everyone.

If the next step is for HHH/Steph to add another to their ranks, who should it be? They probably should since the entire face locker room is now in a state of revolt. I would love for it to be Wade Barrett. He's a perfect conniving prick, albeit one who has lost a ton lately. Mark Henry returning to the heel dark side for a boatload of cash?
I'd be down for Big E Langston joining Orton, Show, and The Shield.
Man, I love the New Corporation. Can they pull a late 90's dark magic alliance and join with the Wyatts?
-
My official ruling is that Meltzer does not get to be called BIG DAVE.
Sad Dave?

Guys, are Cody and Dustin going to be this angle's Crow Sting?
Honestly, I'm pretty impressed right now. WWE is juggling some pretty solid storylines- a group of good guys came out with enough cannon fodder in the group that they can get some dudes seriously dropped, we've got the Rhodes waiting in the god damn shadows... I'm pretty into this.

Okay show, but nothing amazing. Odd to do the Van Terminator AFTER the match instead of just having RVD win the title. ADR is doing NOTHING as champion, which RVD can at least get a good pop. WWE Title match was good, but not much better than any of their TV matches, and the rest of the show was just there. Tons of filler too, which never helps a show.
I've been hoping that Triple H would decide unifying the WWE and World would be good for business.
Also, re: the preshow match, I kind of love 'we still like dancing but we're here to murder people and win titles' Tons of Funk.
Also I just really like Tons of Funk. ;(

As for the show it was all right. I loved how Curtis Axel opened his big mouth and Heyman was like "please Triple H, show him mercy. He knows not what he says". The impromtu match with Axel/Kofi wasn't bad. It's just no one cared about it. Man, remember when Kofi was something special. Yeah...good times.
All of Kofi's matches should have over the top elimination stips so he can just do wonky survival spots every week,

Why is it that someone whose opinion coincides with yours is assumed to be "loving our great sport", while someone whose opinion differs is engaging in "borderline psychotic overanalysis"?Actually never mind. Answered my own question there.
Problemz! I'm not really being ironic. I think I'm just tired of borderline psychotic over analysis getting in the way of loving our great sport. Nothing can possibly hold up under these levels of scrutiny. If it was playing out exactly the way everyone thinks that it should everyone would be dismissively wanking it as a Stone Cold/Vince rehash. On the positive, we get Dusty Rhodes tomorrow. Dusty Rhodes.
A. Problems with Execution. B. Problems with Theory. I know it's a lot of fun to be ironic and point out how people have been complaining and are still complaining but it's completely missing the point.A. I can't believe Daniel Bryan keeps looking so weak. These idiots. B. I can't believe they put the title on Daniel Bryan. These idiots.
Please reread. I suggested we make it harder to like the thing the thing that we like.
And yeah, we get a little crazy about THIS BUSINESS.

They really need to shave Axel's head and just grow his beard out. Or do...something.
Right now he just looks like a depressed and partied out bully at his high school reunion.
You called?
God damn it you just sealed the deal.
The friendship deal.

That wouldn't be a bad gimmick if they didn't have Ryback doing the bully schtick. Pair him up with Alex Riley as the "hanging onto his glory days" 30-something.
In fact, they could be a good "aging Biff Tannen's gang" stable. Just give one of them some 3D glasses.
I'm into this.
Them: "WE! HATE!"
Crowd: "MANURE!"

This made at least 70% of 'Wacky DX' worthwhile.
Also, as full of 'Triple H holding everyone down' as that match was, it's one of my favorite Survivor Series matches.

I think the reason this sort of riles me is the immediate reaction of 'Chapelle had a meltdown! HE IS INSANE.' Why? Because he expects a modicum of respect for what he does and considers himself better than a bunch of drunk assholes?
This didn't suddenly happen when Dave came up, the crowd was shitty the entire night.

If we get the Sami as champion being chased by Aiden and Tyler Breeze angle, I think I can put away watching wrestling, as that aspect of my life will be complete.
