I swear, you could drown a toddler in her panties right now.

WWE had a decade to sign Samoa Joe and just now did it. I'd say the rules of who's getting signed change now that TNA is finally, definitely no longer any sort of threat to anything except good wrestling events.

Arn just did not feel the need to wear a shirt in 1985.

Oh, while we're at it: heels that stop their beatdown on the face to stare at the face as he walks down the aisle. Sandman's gonna take like five minutes to get to the ring, guys, you can probably at least grab a weapon or something for when he finally makes it. Or, y'know, just keep pounding the face into goo. Or, y'know, leave. At least some guys were smart enough to go grab a chair whenever the Shield showed up.

From someone that has taken a Pedigree, when you take one, you're supposed to kick your legs out and go parallel to the mat. Brock didn't do it - in fact, one of his feet never actually left the ground. I put that bad Pedigree more on Brock than Seth. Also, the Pedigree is a bit awkward when there's a big size difference between the two guys. HHH never had good luck on big guys either. And LOL at everyone freaking out over a fluke rib injury when a month ago y'all were jizzing over Brock as the second coming of Brody and Vader. Can't have it both ways, guys.

That's a problem with repetitive booking, not the spot itself.

That's not even the creepiest thing Vince has probably done in the last week.

As someone that suffered a back injury from being powerbombed onto a cake, I support this. (Seriously, that shit hurt more than the thumbtacks did.)

They said to count to ten. They never said ten seconds.

36 is the new 50. <-- 36 years old

As a former ref, I've got nothing but "referee's discretion". If you think about it, the count should actually be on the guy doing the sunset flip, since he's not breaking his hold. At the very least, any pinfall attempt should be negated. (I remember when PWI put out that "Wrestling Rulebook". They didn't even bother figuring this one out.) Real answer is the same reason as why wrestling shoving refs, then the ref shoving him on his ass happens - it gets a pop nearly every time.

Why do you think they just brought back Big Show? Cross-promotion.

It'd be hilarious if EC3 ended up as the last TNA champion, just for the Carter connection.

I love listening to the Cornette/Meltzer commentary on the Sweetan-Lawler match on that set, because it's a great lesson on ring psychology, especially regarding Lawler getting something out of nothing.

Raven was a dick backstage when we booked him in DOA, but he drew the biggest house in the history of the promotion up to that point, so I can forgive that.

Unbelievably badass. That's the "show must go on" mindset right there.

Seriously, how much better is it that way?

She died last year.

If they're going to send Corbin out to squash dudes, have him actually squash them and not go 50/50 after a few months. It's a mistake WWE makes all the time - once one person slays the monster, everybody can suddenly do it. Also, Corbin is the biggest example of a kind face that needs a mask since the Spoiler. I cannot take that nice face seriously, especially as a heel. He looks like he's going to start crying during his entrance.

Assuming this was an autocorrect thing but "Boron Carbon" has legs as a periodic table-obsessed midcard heel imo He could certainly be the nucleus of any stable.

Shoulders are so overrated.

Cornette apparently loves the video.

If I recall, the kid did a couple of years of training in the New Japan dojo - when DOA booked Fit Finlay for two shows in late 2011/early 2012, he mentioned that his son was about to start there. So there's that.

So? There's a fat people movement that landed a large woman on the cover of People magazine. Fat in wrestling has been there for a long time. Haystacks, Dusty Rhodes, Dick Murdoch, King Kong Bundy, Viscera, Yokozuna, Umaga....and a long list of others, have all been fat and successful in wrestling. Yes, I am perfectly aware of that. And half of those names listed are some of my favorites to watch in the ring. And really, you're quoting a "fat people movement" in your argument? Seriously? The problem, as noted, is not that Hero had gained weight, but that he seemed completely uninterested in fixing it. WWE has a certain standard they want their workers to maintain, and he didn't appear to be doing so, for whatever reason (motivation, injuries, etc). That doesn't mean Chris Hero is a bad worker. It means he's not what WWE wants.
