It's a disaster-in-waiting every time it's done. Same with Del Rio's in the corner. I honestly don't know how more Knees/Ankles don't get blown out jumping on to an object that's not stable/level. Risk FAR outweighs reward.

Naylor just Tweeted that Axl Rotten died.

A Canadian able to get the internet on their phone? LOL. That's rich. They're all lining up outside a Radio Shack hoping to pre order Zach Morris' phone. Good luck with that..I'm on a 6 month wait list! Thank goodness for these handy AOL disks and my fast dial up speed!

Equally granted, people were complaining about the local tour being "just a B-show" and whining about it all night because Asuka/Emma was the only TV-caliber match on the Florida tour. The rest of the card there: Equally, equally granted to this, this is more of an example of the Florida crowd's sucking: For every fan who gets what each level of NXT is, you have at least one spoiled, entitled little babies ruining it all for everyone and basically being everything that people called them out for when NXT Brooklyn was announced. Did they announce who would be on the show beforehand? I could see being disappointed, if you expected to see Joe, Zayn, Bàlor etc. and not getting any of them. If they announced the line-up beforehand, then yeah, that's just stupid. Besides they still got to see that main event and the former La Sombra, Biff Busick and Rich Swann. Doesn't seem like such a bad show. I believe WWE's website advertised that Emma/Asuka/Vaudevillains/Hype Bros would be on Florida loop this weekend. Vaudevillains ended up being on main loop, Hype Bros were MIA.. (Did they tour with main WWE roster?) Joe and Balor were advertised ahead of time for the main loop.

Pittsburgh show was super fun tonight. Got an incredible Zayn/Gargano bout. In fact, aside from Carmella/Jax which was pretty tough to watch, every match was good-to-great. Elias Samson was one of the most over guys tonight. Massive face pop returning home to Pittsburgh... then sang a shitty song he wrote making fun of the city which led to some nuclear heat. Samoa Joe busted out the Heel Trifecta tonight on Balor... a back rake, an eye poke and he drug Balor's face across ring rope. Only thing missing from the Superfecta was a Nut Shot.

That has to be a work, right? Surely Alex Riley can't think he's in any position to make comments like that? After watching last night's NXT, isn't this his new gimmick?

What's this stuff I was seeing from Meltz/others on Twitter today about Joey Mercury being AWOL?

Alex Riley's pops stirring up a little non-wrestling-related controversy: http://deadspin.com/radio-dummy-on-female-nfl-coach-theres-no-place-for-a-1754257086

Looks like The Vaudevillains, Hype Bros, Emma & Asuka are staying in Florida that weekend for their loop and will not be in Detroit or Pittsburgh according to WWE.com. Apollo Crews is also advertised for Detroit/Pittsburgh along with Balor/Joe/Corbin/Bayley. Kinda bummed not to see Asuka.

I enjoyed Mauro. I thought his on-camera gestures and voice inflections (the little things I guess) immediately sprung him over the other C-listers before him like Phillips and Brennan. Once he settles in for a few months I think he'll get even better. And if he can somehow motivate Lawler?? Canonize him.

Meltz said that's a hoax.

Was completely and utterly fascinated by the fan in the front row wearing the shades and USA Flag pants. Laughed out loud at Bram TWICE saying it was 2006 in his promo.

Google Image Search Bartolo Colon and Andre The Giant. The resemblance is fairly strong.

Haystacks Calhoun died well before Loch Ness came to WCW. Loch Ness also went by Giant Haystacks so that may be where the confusion comes from.

Roman/Sheamus ends with a Roman pin while Haku simultaneously Tongan Death Grips Vince, right?

Chimel!!!

Using Chipper Jones as a baseball reference makes this article as current as one of Vince's ideas.

Well, the table DID break.... kinda.

Is that Tommy Young?

How odd was Charlotte briefly encouraging the Bayley chant? That one caught me by surprise.

I know Pittsburgh's pre-sale allotment went pretty fast. I was lucky enough to pull a Front Row single seat right at 10AM so I snatched that up.
