If he turns heel, he can turn it into an eyepoke and call it the Third Eye Blind.

I'm actually really happy to see him bust that out, and I'm surprised they didn't have him doing it earlier to cross-promote the Goldberg DVD. "Ryback is taunting these fans chanting Goldberg, but you can see the real thing on the new three-disc Goldberg DVD, available on WWEShop.com!" This is fantastic heeling. They should have him keep it up for a while, kind of like the Jericho-Goldberg stuff. Maybe they can convince him to come in for a quick WM buyrate, but worst case scenario, Ryback gets heel heat from using the moves, he loses a few (more) matches, and ditches the moves, calling them worthless, to debut some new finisher that kickstarts a win streak.

There are not enough stars in the world to give him for that.

They basically did this with Steven Richards starting the RTC.

This would lead to Regal coming out and giving his Eugene speech to HHH again. Only to eventually turn on Bryan and explain that he and HHH go way back, and that guys like them (Bryan/Regal) don't make it to the top because it isn't best for business. Then, when Bryan gets pissy about it, Regal drops the "do you think you're better than me, sunshine?", leading to the first ever six-star match.

I would love to see Triple H and Stephanie journey to the Wyatt's decapitated run down cabin the woods."Wow, this place is, eh, cosy. And I like how that huge axe hangs ominously in the corner.""I would have gone for a sledgehammer there, but the axe works for you."

This may be the funniest thing Vince reads all year long. Yes, truly one inept company massively overpaying for a shitshow wrestling promotion is going to make Vince quake in his boots.I can almost see Vince buying it, a) to spite this guy and b ) as a final dig to WCW in that it wasn't even worth as much as the shitty futile Jarrett vanity spin off that rose, err... feebly stumbled from its ashes was.

Doesn't everyone?

If hope Vince buys it, just so we can finally get an invasion angle where no one bitches about the invaders getting completely squashed.

I feel like Gonzalez liking that post is a breach of trollfabe. Time to send him to trollers court.

I loved Rowan's awkward spin kick on Miz. The dude is a swamp monster just throwing himself at his opponent. It shouldn't look pretty.

It could be that we see a transition to Orton/Show for the title, with Bryan being side-drained into a feud where he has to go through certain people to get to HHH. They definitely planted the seeds for the Bryan/HHH match down the road. "I only get in the ring with big stars" is to HHH's match with Bryan what "You can't wrestle" was to HHH's WM match with Cena.

Well Bryan is technically still the Being John Cena champion.

HHH had a line last night where he told Bryan he was so over his head that he "didn't even see what was happening here." I took that to mean "Hey dumbass, HBK is going to turn on you, just like when he superkicked the Rock to help me win on that early (the first?) Smackdown, and just like he did when he refereed my Hell in the Cell match against Taker at Wrestlemania." Is it obvious? Yeah, but they haven't brought that stuff up at all, which means they don't want us thinking about it. Instead, they've been laying in the HBK was Bryan's trainer and HBK is unhappy with HHH stuff.

Didn't he beat Hogan twice? I felt like he beat Hogan by DQ one week and then the women's shoe to the face the next week. Or maybe I'm thinking that Hogan took the women's shoe to the eye in consecutive weeks and lost to Arn and Flair.He beat Hogan two weeks in a row, I believe.

Why?At this point, it is probably just coincidence, but they've just happened to come out after a couple of the fringe guys who have stood up against the Authority (Kofi, now Miz). Given that HHH and Steph were bitching out the Shield even before losing the titles, it would be easy to spin it as HHH has been using them all this time.

Erick Rowan.

I know people are getting tired of the "turn the Shield/Wyatts" face fantasy booking, but I get the sense Wyatts are being groomed as HHH's new enforcers, or at a minimum, will be sent after the Rhodes once the Shield loses their rematch.

Say what you want about that Big Show punch in the gif above, but that is some quality selling by Vince.

Only if the finish to the rumored Bryan-HHH match is Warrior then running down to the ring and squashing HHH for the save to relive another classic WM moment.

Her lack of focus on the Divas is one of the most realistic parts of this angle. I noticed #3 too. Bryan bursts through the door, Brie is screaming, Bryan asks "Where is he?!?" and she's all like "Eh, I dunno..." As for #4, I get the impression we're supposed to be shocked when HBK turns on Bryan, just like we were supposed to be shocked each time Dusty turned on someone to help Cody after lecturing Cody about his evil ways.

On Talking Dead, the new showrunner talked about how this episode was basically setting up where things were now, so you got a sense of how nice things were before it all went bad, pretty much starting at the end. Hardwick also pointed out how the super nerd coughed into their water supply before dying.

He's got no interest in shooting.

WCW's demise and TNA's soon-to-be demise (???) are why fans should care at least a bit about ratings. Monday Nitro was still one of the highest rated cable shows on TV when it was cancelled. Money Marks > Ratings.
