TNA spite vote.

Goldust seems in better shape than he's ever been. My one critique would be that he basically stole the show from Cody, who the whole angle was presumably designed to help get over. However to rebut that, he's Goldust, and Cody is not.

HE WAS ALSO FUNNY ON COMEDY BANG! BANG!!!!!!!!! So what you're saying is that Comedy Bang Bang is filmed in Bizarro Land.

At least Jae picked the right Uso for this.

No more Bo.

On twitter, I joked that the network issues during Arrival were Crowe's introductory vignettes.

Same here. I was watching Slamboree '97, and I was pumped as they announced a death match and bring out Meng. Then the Horsemen music plays and I'm all fuck yeah, AA-Meng death match. How did I forget this happened? But Benoit came out with Woman looking very concerning for his safety, so it was "Skip to next match".

"Don't stop Batista-lievin' " has a certain ring to it.

According to the ad that ran after Arrival, yep. Every Thursday at 9pm. #ThursdayNightWars

I'm starting with Slamboree '97, which I think was the last PPV from the original Charlotte Coliseum. Based on my memory of being there live, I always thought it was an underrated PPV, with a good Regal-Ultimate Dragon match, Malenko-Jarrett (I remember Jarrett, a Horseman, getting booed, in Charlotte, on a night when Flair was a face in the main event), Mongo-Reggie White, and Hall, Nash, & Syxx vs. Flair, Piper, and Kevin Green. Waltman talked about this match on Austin's podcast when he said everyone thought they were going to go over on Flair and company, only to all get beat simultaneously to end the match.. I think I'll follow it up with SummerSlam 2000 and Survivor Series 2001 as other PPVs I've attended.

Matt's getting in prime March Madness form.

Not actually true. The academic dean of our law school got picked for a three day trial.

The only rule is that you're voting for the guy you thought had a better year, using whatever criteria you choose. The amazing thing is watching people get crazy upset that people don't agree with their entirely subjective opinions.

Davey - Mr. Anderson - Miz triple threat play in game!

The negative reaction to a Randy Orton vs. Batista headline match at WrestleMania XXX will really be something. Maybe they'll give it the spot the World Heavyweight Title match has had the past few years.

I'm so sad my first thought was Tyler Perry's House of Payne. Now I'm picturing Mark Henry coming to collect the air bill from Madea.

It is going to be so disappointing when reality settles in and Wyatts/Shield is just a regular six man match. I feel like they've built it up so well already that they already need some sort of stipulation. *cough*eliminationchamberwargames*cough*

They need to put Cena and Cesaro in a postWM feud and recreate the Hart/Austin double turn.

And then JBL would laugh at him for making a dated reference.

I may have said this before, I feel like Austin is a guy who would love this board until he came across the various trolls.

It is almost surprising how much bulk Sheamus has lost. He clearly stopped working out with HHH.

I'd argue that the only thing Diesel has over Razor Ramon is the WWE Title. Razor has the longevity and was one of their most popular faces for a long time.

To be fair, we don't know a whole lot about that aspect. I know people hate "wait and see" but we really don't have a choice. Meltzer said a little bit about it but didn't really expand on it and as far as I know WWE hasn't said shit. Yeah, Meltzer is the only one who seems to have said this. No mention of this from the WWE yet. I wouldn't be surprised if all PPVs remained archived, and various other shows were put up and taken down sporadically. I almost feel like they would have to do that, or else you'd see a lot of people letting their subs go after six months. In line with that, I'd also expect news of a big addition to the library in about six months time, something like all of the Clashes or MSG shows or something like that to entice people to re-up. One thing that I think is getting slept on is that they're saying there will be 24-7 programming. While I'm sure they'll run replays of Legends House, Countdown, etc..., they have to have other stuff to fill the air as well, so it wouldn't surprise me if they reran old shows like WCW Saturday night every Saturday at 6:05 EST, Tuesday Night Titans on Tuesday nights, etc...

Which would mean no Dolph Ziggler.

Same here.
