Is the gimmick that Neville can't wrestle for the title ever again, or just while Enzo is champion? The biggest example of Elias fucking up is being stuck in a feud with Titus O'Neil.

Also, I get what Dreamer was trying to go for in the promo by putting over what Bully's been through, but it came across as "Man, Bully's gotten the shit kicked out of him a lot".

Did Bully Ray actually take a hard shot from that table at the PPV? From my vantage point in the crowd (left corner off hard cam) it looked like he took that table in the shoulder.

The taping was FAR better than the PPV.

Seriously, I flew out to Vegas for THAT? Fuck this promotion and fuck everyone that can't figure out how to properly time a goddamn show. If you're running long, CUT SOMETHING DOWN. !@^%!@^%!@^% And barely a quarter of that crowd hit Kaze Ni Nare. Y'all motherfuckers need tapes. On the bright side, the crowd wasn't NEARLY as annoying with the chants and Bullet Club baloney as I thought, even though the face/heel dynamic was completely fucked in any BC-involved match. The nWo at their height never got this bad, and I think it's going to be years before we see how much damage has truly been done by it. Cody is the Jinder Mahal of ROH. I'm sorry, but the dude is not top-champion material, and barring a major mindset or look change, won't be. All he's shown to me on the indies is why WWE never pushed him past the Intercontinental title. He's STILL not a smooth worker after all this time, and still can't cut a money promo. He needs to figure out if he's going to be a serious heel or a goofy heel, and stop bouncing between the two. How long do the TV tapings usually go?

Doesn't take a hard bump to give you a concussion, believe me.

Any relation to Vern Fonk?

When I had my hair bleached for a couple of years, almost everyone said it made me look like Ric Flair. Ric Flair was not the reason I had bleached hair. Bobby Heenan was. Heenan was one of my Mount Rushmore of managers (along with Heyman, Cornette and Sherri) and probably my greatest influence as a performer, and now two of them are gone. This one really hurts.

I finally get ready to play for the first time this weekend, and OF COURSE PSN is down.

Yup, just got it. Thanks!

I'm pretty much of the mindset at this point that pro wrestling in the Pacific Northwest, including British Columbia, is completely and totally fucked, even more so than it had been before. I'm not going to go into heavy detail since it'll result in public burials of people I know personally, but the point of diminishing returns was reached a long time ago.

Does anyone have the PS4 clan URL so I can join? I'll also take an invite - JetfireMike.

After sucking at Destiny, I'm giving Destiny 2 a shot. God help me.

Is Marty actually aware other people read what he writes?

I will *always* upvote a reference to one of my favorite American Dad episodes. "Crack may cause shivers, night terrors, gay for pay, heart palpitations, homicidal paranoia or the sensation that you're on fire. Peeing blood and seeing friends' faces as talking skeletons are possible side effects of crack. People who use crack may also experience 5-7 years in prison where brutal raping may occur. If you experience one or more of these side effects, consult your dealer. You may need more crack."

In my short run as ECCW play by play commentator, I got to call two of Shayna Baszler's matches against Nicole Matthews (Halloween Hell, with Shayna over via bow and arrow, and Ballroom Brawl, with Nicole went over by flash TKO) and it struck me how far along Baszler was in a very short time. One of those "if she keeps going at this pace, she's going to be a star" realizations. I never expected WWE to give her a chance just due to her general look and gimmick, so it was awesome to see her do so well in the Mae Young Classic. Everyone's already echoed how I feel about Kairi Sane - she's incredible.

My aunt and her family won't have power for a couple of weeks, and all her roads are flooded. But they're all okay, they're all safe and they're all alive, and that's all that matters. Something my wife has taught me - things are just things, and things can be replaced. People can't.

That was actually me.

Yes, it would be bad.

Oh, no, I've been watching infrequently off and on since the beginning. That PPV was just the first ROH show I'd watched front-to-back in years.

My aunt and her family are in Lakeland, and shouldn't/can't/won't evacuate: No forced evacuation yet (voluntary evacuation for Polk County, though); Their car is a piece of shit and they have no friends around to move them anyway; They say they've been through hurricanes and they're fine. They might be right on all counts, but fuck, this is not one of those times for them to be wrong. Thankfully, it's supposed to be "only" a Cat-2 hurricane by then..

Goddammit. Minoru Suzuki is going to make me see ROH live for the first time. Seeing as how I struggled to get through it on PPV (the one where Cody won the title) I can't imagine how this will be in Vegas. But hey, drinks. And Suzuki might actually kill someone, right in front of my eyes.

Sleeping Dogs was definitely one I slept on till the PS Plus release, and holy shit was it great. The environmental kills were extremely creative and the parkour felt very natural. I would like a police game combining True Crime and Sleeping Dogs, with a hint of GTA.

If New Japan starts selling a customizable Taguchi Japan jersey, I am all over that. I paid import on Daryl, I can handle the price. Having Yoshitatsu on your team is like losing three people to injury.

PROTIP: Money marks that get smart to the wrestling business aren't usually money marks in the wrestling business for much longer afterward.
