I'm giving the line of five months before a lower card group is called the Discipline Committee

The swinging vote represented appropriately

Is there a Dom or Sub majority?

A returning Dan Lambert bringing out Mickey Gall or Mike Jackson?

I was kinda looking forward to a modern day Flair/Savage program with Adam Copeland, as watching him destroy Punk on the mic would have been the only acceptable use of him in 2024. Nonetheless, Dennis Rodman strap match please. Or if it is somehow a work, Punk returning with Shannen Doherty as his legal consultant with past experience of being victimised off the set by the Perry family also would be fantastic. Thank you.

In hindsight, not only did the Rocky III storyline for Mox and Punk not work and subsequently was bad. It was totally wasted when it could have been used here. Mox destroying OC, leading to vignettes of the Best Friends trying to get OC to find the eye of the tiger, yet punching the meat and chasing chickens in the most lacklustre way possible would have been a far better result. I see they're not too far from Philly for the Collision before Grand Slam. Have him taking his sweet time getting up the museum stairs throughout the entire show. Have it end with him finally getting to the top, half assedly raising his arms in the air and then sitting down again because he's too tired. Then he beats Mox at Grand Slam for the title back

I had a dream last night where I, an adult male was riding a school bus, and a generic school bully started picking on the kid sitting next to me, so I stood up for him and challenged the bully to a fight after school (?!) and all the kids were super excited...but then started booing me because I was working shitty back rakes and lengthy chinlocks. Is this a sign?

Brook over Roy would have been the right call for me but not the worst I can think of. Tanveer Singh looks the goods already. Be interesting to see if Australia try and rush him in as they're doing with David.

Cutting and strutting.

SHUCKY DUCKY

Carlton finally getting it's first finals match in ten years. Booked my ticket yesterday despite Ticketek doing it's best to fuck me over.

I'd really love a major tennis tournament to do away with the pretense of a random draw and book a tournament better than any North American promoter has booked a tournament in the past 25 years. Give McEnroe the wacky GM role. Completely lean into the sports entertainment space. Nothing fixed or predetermined in the actual matches, just clear storylines about what you want to eventuate, twitter beefs settled in the opening rounds, serial retirees punished with matches against dominant seeds, the equivalent of big meaty men slapping meat with servebots instead.

Wonder how last night's Obama and Djokovic meet up went down

Bryan Danielson copping strays here I see

The worst trend of this year has been wrestlers transforming into alter egos that don't mean shit. Penta Oscuro, Bad Ass Billy Gunn, Brood Edge, Lionheart Jericho, Painmaker Jericho, Starship Coyote Jericho

My guess was how unreliable LOD had become that necessitated taking the belts off them. I agree with your tag title match (and essentially doing the Headshrinker debut and title switch that happened on TV anyway). Two face vs face matches at the top of the card was overkill. Savage vs Warrior was only going to work if Savage was getting his win back, and you intended Savage to be getting a long run with the title. Again, they could have run the Flair title switch here with the assist from Razor (or Perfect). Was listening to STWW the other day re this timeframe and apparently they were desperately trying to resurrect the ratings of Prime Time and Superstars by running all these random title switches and big moments, before giving up and instead trying to get Raw greenlit instead.

There's a really good Shawn vs Tom match on Superstars before this match happening. Definitely recommend.

I remember when a piledriver in Memphis was grounds for a death certificate. None of this "fiddle dee dee that will require a tetanus shot" nonsense.

Speaking of Texas death matches...DDP vs Raven was pretty fun for what it was.

100% It's just insane watching upper midcard guys struggle to get any momentum while protecting Jerry Sags or Quebecer Pierre. Especially when there's so little for them to do in a three belt company. Conversely I think there's an over reliance on squash matches to keep guys looking strong too. Useful to showcase debuting talent or that they've had a face/heel turn, not sure why Scott Hall is still coming out and beating up Iron Mike Sharpe in 1995. At the same time though, you look at that early 2010s period where they went the extreme other way and everything had to be fifty fifty. Remember that random Cage/Page match on Dynamite where everyone thought that they might strongly push unpredictable finishes? That was a nice idea.

Still on my 95 Superstars run. Trying to remember when the transition was made from the top faces never winning cleanly on TV unless they were the champ or facing a job guy. Watching the Bulldog, Crush, Luger etc really became the chokers they were considered to be not just because of the main misses but so many Superstars matches where they couldn't be put over Tatanka or Bundy any more convincingly than with a countout win. That Sid turn on Shawn after Mania was terribly played out. The face pop for Sid attacking him is huge. They edit or mute the sound in the replay just like Hogan at the Rumble. Even when Diesel makes the save all these people in the crowd cheering for Sid to powerbomb him again are still somewhat "....ehh?" about it all.

I remember that promo. Very underrated. Some of that program was pretty good. The actual heel turn/Savage beatdown where he bites his tongue getting dropped on the guardrail and just takes a massive shit kicking was fun. The concept was stupid because they just randomly shoehorned Savage as his close best friend in like a week before the Yokozuna match. The slow burn in hindsight is pretty cool - I only recently saw the spot on the USS Intrepid where they had him get Yokozuna off the ground only for his back to go out. Getting punked by Doink for an entire year. Hooking up with his old manager Fuji made total sense. I loved that Falls Count Anywhere match as a kid. Made no sense logically but thought it also gave Crush a few visual pinfalls over Savage in the process. They seemed really committed to building him as a major heel until his legal issues. Having him beat Bret on Raw weeks before Mania 10 was certainly a choice.

One of the big talking points for why Vince blackballed Savage was that he took the Slim Jim's advertising deal with him to WCW. Watching Superstars in early 95 and the ads, now featuring Nash and Bam Bam, if anything have increased. Also makes me wonder what they'd have done with him creatively had he returned as rumoured around Survivor Series 96. There doesn't seem to be anything obvious.
