  1. I'm jealous as hell of you guys who live where there's tons of indies running every weekend. I'd have to drive up to the Orlando/Tampa area to see indy wrestling and it's just too far. I don't think there are any good or notable promotions who regularly run the Fort Lauderdale area.

    I don't know how far you are from Miami but Ronin Wrestling runs the Miami Airport Convention center usually once a month. They got a good roster like Colt Cabana, Los Ben Dejos, The Savages and other local talent, They are running a show on January 17th with guys like Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Greg Valentine, Cabana, Matt Sydal and Mad Man Pondo.

    They also run shows in New Port Richey with a lot of the FIP guys under Uproar Wrestling

  2. Ambrose is so cool and smooth. I thought he was great on Cabana's podcast too. His views on wrestling and matches, the Shield, his own career, all if it is refreshing. And he's already got Vince's ear, which to me seems to be earlier than most get it.

    Him saying they were stiffing the crap out of ryback, ("we were pasting guys") makes me wonder if ryback was a bit stiffer with punk because word got back to him that he told the shield to be tough on everyone.

    Totally my favorite guy at the moment.

  3. How Harpers arm wasn't DESTROYED by that dive i'll never know.

    I honestly thought when he lifted his arm it was going to be all broken and flopping all over the place.

     

    Those dudes bumped their butts off... Surprised Dolph got the win in his home town. I love Harper, he's so pro wrestling it's awesome.

  4. The notion from a few pages back that Triple H embraces nerd culture is silly to me. Is it because he has an open checkbook from Vince to hire indy guys that their scouts find? The dude is constantly tweeting himself on fitness magazines, pretty much the antithesis of the pale basement dwellers. He doesn't even book NXT. Another IWC fairytale.

    And, besides some dirtsheet speculation (not Meltz), where did anyone say this New Day faction was supposed to be gamers? This was the plan all along, from Big E's preacher-esque promo months earlier to Xavier coming out to ringside to save them. WWE went to the lowest common denominator for their black wrestlers as usual. It's a step above Cryme Time.

    Who is the booker for NXT?

  5. No one is authorized to "SELL" any injuries or be off TV for more than a week. It's horrible. No one gets hurt, no one sells anything, nothing matters at all.

     

    With the network I know we will never go to LESS PPV's, but man, it's just overload and rushed story lines. Nothing breaths anymore.

  6. Sami wins Thursday, who does he fued with?

    Owens?

    Baylor?

    Hideo?

     

    All sound like fun options.

     

    I was thinking about Sami's new attitude (at least for his promo last week) and I think it would be cool if Sami didn't cheat, but won clean only after going "overboard" with his finisher, meaning hitting it more than a few times or even breaking our the top turnbuckle brain buuuuusta.

  7. Alvarez has been spot on about everything lately. Meltz being pissed about Charlotte losing was hysterical but so true.

     

    I assume NXT is totally HHH's thing, and if I'm wrong, tell me. If it is, then wouldn't it be in HHH's interest to protect his NXT Women's champ before a "big show" on the network?

     

    I know we all assume WWE is about crushing you then building you up, but how does it make sense to have Charlotte go against everything she does in NXT and not just work like in NXT to say, "this the kind of action you can only see on the Network" or something like that.

     

    Why doesn't HHH protect his rostered NXT folks? seems weird to me.

     

    Cena sucks.

  8. Same here.

     

    Transferred from 360 to PS4 and during online got a ton of "trophies" popping up while running around.

     

    I'm really liking it on PS4, but MAN traffic is intense. It feels a lot harder driving around.

    I don't seem to get the police called on me for every LITTLE thing in story mode.

     

    Does ANYONE know what that tablet icon is next to the HUD map? I can't find anything ANYWHERE about it. It looks like a iPad and has an arrow icon coming off it. I cannot figure out how to use it or clear it or anything.

  9. I asked around and that was just a tryout for Yim.  I was kinda excited to see her.  That Zayn promo was out of the fuckin park.  Can't wait for the special next week.

    A few female wrestlers from around the Florida area have had matches on NXT lately. Pretty cool. Gives the women enhancement matches.

  10. Things not getting past Steph and HHH is probably there way of saying to Vince that their either made something happen that was good, or stopped something that was bad, meaning, they are trying establish they know good versus bad ideas. Although, they MIGHT be missing some things (Daniel Bryan).

     

    I'm getting a lot of parallels to how WCW was when Hogan was there. People are unhappy and don't know what's going on.

     

    Austin saying the guys are walking around on egg shells was so surreal to see said to Vince.

     

    Austin really getting to ask HHH questions like Vince, but with less filter would be very interesting to hear. However, I think HHH is molding into that corporate roll to much and even though he clearly worked to get where he is, I wouldn't say he forgot what it was like, but maybe because of being associated with the cliq he had it easier than a guy like Cesaro, or maybe Punk?

     

    When HHH was on Jericho's show it was refreshing to hear him tell stories about being a new guy, but it would be cool to see Austin dig a bit deeper.

     

     

    As said in here, an Austin "PODCAST" on the WWE network would be awesome. Since all the docs they show (and hearing Vince and Austin use real terms) break Kayfabe, these interviews might be another way to get guys over. I can't imagine it would cost anywhere near as much as trying to get guys over on weekly TV.
