It's your call if you want to see spoilers from the Baltimore tapings. But let's just say that things get very interesting in the Corino/Whitmer feud.

To get this back on track, not sure if this was posted before but Sami Zayn's band shirt is an absolute must buy. http://shop.wwe.com/Sami-Zayn-%22Underdog-From-The-Underground%22-Authentic-T-Shirt/W09069,default,pd.html?dwvar_W09069_color=Miltary%20Green&start=1&q=Sami%20Zayn EDIT: WWE Shop has some vintage shirts that I might consider. The Ambrose one is wacky enough to work. http://shop.wwe.com/WWE-Junk-Food-Apparel/junk-food,default,sc.html

I don't hate Ziggler by any means, I really like the guy. I'm definitely in the camp that wants to see him pushed. But it bugs me that he is more concerned with being flashy than being intense. A visit to the New Japan dojo would do wonders for him (we can only dream) It would be nice to just see him in a grudge feud and show that he wants to just kick somebody's ass. But right now it's not there.

On the contrary, I thought they both had a pretty good year. Finn's being pushed as a star in NXT and had some high quality matches. Dean was killing it in the Shield and started off great in his singles run. And he's also been a consistently good to great performer. What hinders Dean is the booking from the Wyatt feud onward, but Finn has been booked pretty well so far. Toss in his run in Bullet Club and he has a helluva case for him. I think it's just going to come down to personal preference. I like Dean but love Finn's gimmick. Then again, that doesn't quite work for some on here. I'll be fine whoever wins, but which one would match up better in the later rounds?

Part of me wants to abstain because I'm huge fans of both. Hard to choose between the two. But then part of me wants to wait until Friday to vote. I think this calls for more evidence before I can decide. Pros, cons, examples, Piranesi posts, whatever is needed. But I'm holding off for now.

Tough to vote Cena, but for all the shit he gets he still has some excellent matches. Itami hasn't found his groove yet in NXT, but by next year he will.

Gulak's going to get destroyed in this, which is a shame. If it's a sympathy vote so be it, but going with Drew.

Luke pretty much brought back the praying powerbomb and has had some killer matches. I like Casas, but can't justify picking him over Luke.

Galloway damn near killed himself to make the Hornswoggle/Torito TLC match as entertaining as possible. He deserves more love for that. On top of that, since getting released he's been a man on a mission and has been really fun to watch. Breeze has a great gimmick and has had some great matches. One that sticks out was against Zayn at one of the specials. Can't say it was due to the opponent as he did hold his own. There's a lot of potential in the guy, and I wouldn't blame anybody for picking him. But I've always had a soft spot for Drew and you can see how far he's willing to go to make a name for himself. If he loses I'm hoping it's a really close contest at least.

This isn't going to end well for Honma. And after voting Brock I realized how good he's been recently and the five star match he had in Osaka(?) I feel guilty now.

Paige is the type you definitely don't take to your mom. But that's okay if you're not looking for that. It didn't help that Bradley was looking to move forward, and he's pushing 30 at that. Paige is only 22 and doesn't give a flying fuck about that right now. But yeah, Bradley should have just looked elsewhere for a long-term girlfriend. Hard to blame him on that, but still acted like a dick about it. And The Natural, I knew coming on here somebody would say something along the lines of what you said, and that's cool. I find it amusing we have to wait and see if the Bellas are Divas are not. Spoiler alert: THEY ARE! They really believe all Total Divas viewers don't watch Raw/SD? Alright, then.

Shifting away from the Conor news, the Observer had this about the Bushwackers: So if you were wondering if the Sheepherders would be acknowledged, this might be a promising sign.

What kind of wrestling world do we live in that Curtis freaking Axel is entertaining? That just boggles the mind.

Thanks for the information, guys. It's always been a question I thought of but not sure if it was worth asking. Great to know about though. Hard to imagine somebody trying that in WWE, but if they did they'd likely be thrown out. Curt, I saw the gif of the seating mats getting thrown in. I wasn't sure what the hell that was about, but that was interesting. And The Z, Rave getting toilet paper always cracked me up. They stopped that for a while, but every now and then one would be thrown at somebody the crowd hates. Pretty sure Elgin got it at least once after the baseball issue.

I could watch this all day, it's my new favorite gif. Guys, I definitely see it being used but PLEASE don't overuse this in March Madness.

Verizon has something that's kind of like that with their EDGE program. You pay extra and are leasing the phone more than owning it. But if you want to trade it for another it falls under that plan. And apparently Rent a Center gives you that option, though I'm not sure I'd fully trust that.

It's the rare time where my bullshit meter didn't register this at all. Not sure how genuine the charity is, but I'll assume it's on the level. But WWE has been in love with Conor and it was clear it pained them when he passed. Stephanie especially was really touched by it. Good on WWE to honor both Warrior's request and Conor. We were watching Raw and as soon as he was shown I was done for. My wife didn't know he passed so when they said that that was it for her too. It really tugs on the heatstrings, that's for damn sure. If Raw is any indication I'm not sure if can actually watch the induction on HOF night. Way too many feels for this.

I could see why they'd do that. Stuff like that to a degree messes with tooth enamel and they don't want to risk messing it up. Especially if they're in some kind of beauty or muscle contest. Slightly related, but I remember Zack Ryder putting pictures of his dad drinking wine through a straw. He does bodybuilding competitions and didn't want to mess up his teeth. It's weird, but I understand. And Control gets all the likes for linking that article on "literrally."

I have a question about of all things streamers and their importance in Japan. Obviously ROH loves throwing streamers at guys they respect. And it supposedly started in Japan, right? And I imagine ROH fans did that because it started in Japan. I'd like to know when and how it started, does it still happen, and just how important they were/are in Japan. I'd also be curious about when/why the tradition started with ROH and what Japanese fans/wrestlers think when they see that.

I really enjoyed Parejas Increibles. Fun matches, and it set up/continued at least two feuds. I'd be down with UG against Volador, Jr. anyday. Volador looked like a million buck on the Lucha Azteca show. Also loved Sombra and Negro Casas with their interactions. When it's good, language barriers don't matter. Fun show. I have noticed that some of the refs are really old and painfully slow. Are they legends or referees that have been around for a long time? One in particular took forever to get on his knees and the three count was even slower.

Like the placement of the comma there. And S6 out on 4/10? I've been due for an upgrade, but still am torn on this. It's not so much the phone itself, but there's so many fucking phones out anymore. They all come out and are hyped as the next big thing, only for something to come up a couple months later. In Samsung's case, you can settle with the S4 and shortly after there's talk of S5. Now it's all about S6. I'm not some grumpy old man longing for simple times. But at the same time I don't want to shell out hard earned money only to see that it was a waste. Is there a phone that is future proof that won't have me longing for the "next big thing"? I don't know. It'd be great if we could just custom build our phones and put in whatever we want. I'd love to just add more RAM and whatever else I please. Instead, we're at the mercy of what phone companies are willing to put in their phones. [/rant]

Rush seems pretty damn awesome. Too bad he's against Rusev. But if they either teamed up, the name Rusev Rush is right there. Then again, if they teamed up it'd be a license to print money.

Which is why it shouldn't have been a surprise to me when they had that match. I guess I've been so used to him being wacky that I forget how great he is. Either way, I can't wait for you all to see it in four(?) weeks.

Outside the voting period, but last Saturday at the ROH TV tapings he got an epic match out of Mark Briscoe. Not that Mark is bad, but with his gimmick lately it's amazing how great this match was. AJ is just soooooo damn good it's unreal. There's no shame in Zack losing to AJ in this. I could really go for these two having a match, it would be excellent.

Tougher than expected choice, but going with Suzuki. I like both guys, but I'm a sucker for a mean guy and Suzuki more than fits that.
