BEN!

I wish they'd establish some actual rules for this bullshit. Like why do no trades ever happen outside of a "Superstar Shakeup"? I can't remember anybody switching sides other than D-Brine signing Swagger cause his Raw contract expired. The day after the Draft. Swagger got drafted and signed a 1-day Raw contract? I mean, the GMs having brain damage can only explain so much. How are NXT guys included in this? Shouldn't some wrestlers get relegated from Raw/SD to NXT? Are there roster limits or salary caps cause everybody's already under WWE contract? It's not like Shane and Stephanie are footing the bills for their brands. It's like the only real sports knowledge they have is the XFL where one guy owned every team. Oh.

Paying the women for doing absolutely nothing would be the total antithesis of equality.

http://super7hq.com/news/super7-x-legends-of-lucha-libre Available starting Wednesday. They got those out really fast. I don't know what the deal is with the WWE ones. They had packaged samples in their display case at Toy Fair in February but they don't mention anything about them in their own recap. 3.75" prototypes. You have to sub an Ewok in for Alushe.

Ric Flair drip Go woo on a bitch.

Sanity is just short for Sanitized Hobo Army.

Defy just did it Friday.

I don't even know if Rodney Mack/Jazz run in Louisiana but if one of those companies are using their license and Ospreay breaks the rules the commission is just going to go after the promoter of record. An Ospreay moonsault could lead to an impromptu White Boy Challenge!

I hope there's some local ticket sellers in the Rumble.

He's got to be ready for when Cena bullies him into a WrestleMania match next year.

Strowman should push a dumpster out and when he gets to the ring, opens it and reveals his partner as an unconscious Kalisto, one of only a handful of Superstars to hold a singles victory over him. That'd be a good lucha thing. If Shane can't go, I want Vince to strut out and give Owens a shoot headbutt to take him out of the match.

Hollowing out a pickle seems like a lot of work. Braves are just shoving a hot dog through a baked potato.

You can watch the last couple of months worth of Impact for free at GWN and PopTV.com has the most recent two as well.

Naming a battle royal after Andre makes sense cause he was known for winning battle royals. There's no memorable woman associated with battle royals and no reason to name it after one other than some marketing bullshit. Up until this year's Royal Rumble, WWE was still doing eliminations through the ropes for the women. Really the most memorable WWE battle royal moments I can even think of were that time Gail Kim rolled out of the ring at the bell and eliminated herself and nobody noticed until she mentioned it and that time Kaitlyn accidentally won. Those both might've been from the same match from all I can remember. Naming it after Chyna would've been as big of a joke as Moolah cause they're clearly reaching for a female empowerment slant and she got at least one woman fired for getting into her spotlight and she refused to give the other women anything when she got integrated into the general Divas population. They really should've just done some kind of 8-10 women leftovers tag match. Either way, I'd say it should be on the pre-show but on the other hand I kind of want Kid Rock to play them out again just for the faux outrage whining I'm sure that would somehow cause.

They spelled name wrong.

They get a midget slave. EQUALITY!

THE YET-TAY! wasn't a mummy. After he thawed out, the mummy wraps were supposed to eventually come off and he would've been in the Giant Gonzales bodysuit but with white fur. So he would've been a big nekkid giant that humped guys from behind.

I like Alberto cause he's got that air of danger about him that not enough guys can project anymore. Like he might snap and go after one of the marks if they say the wrong thing. I wouldn't break the bank or kowtow to him though. Especially if you can retain access to El Hijo del Fantasma who'd be more capable of drawing in new Hispanic fans since he's not as exposed to the US audience as Alberto. Edwards re-signed.

They got too many damn people under contract. That's one of the reasons I wanted them to bring back WCW for their brand split. Two distinct separate brands each with their own rosters and with their own major annual show instead of trying to jam 100+ people onto the one. I mean, I know they'd still be doing it this way regardless cause that's what they do but I'm going to just pretend it could be different. Lemme tell you what they should do, they need to condense some of these matches and make a more efficient WrestleMania, baby! Ain't nobody got time for no 8 hours of WrestleMania. [PRESHOW] Cruiserweight Championship Match - Nobody watches 205 Live. It doesn't really matter. This should really be on the TakeOver show since both 205 Live and NXT are Network exclusive shows. [PRESHOW] Raw Women's Championship - Bliss vs. Jax. The lesser of the women's matches so somebody gotta get bumped off the main show. Intercontinental Championship/ATGMBR - Miz defends the IC title in the battle royal. He can win the trophy and then put a scarf on it and make Axel and Dallas carry it around for him until they get sick of him and turn face. Then they can feud with Miz/Elias. Then they can play the Rock 'n Rolls to The Revival's Midnights on Heat or Xplosion or whatever the C-show is now. That's probably more thought put into them since they were put with Miz. SD Women's Championship - Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka in a match set up when Flair/Roode beat Asuka/Miz on MMC. I assume that'll be over by WrestleMania. Cena vs. Strowman - Cena's been off his game since he worked with Owens. Strowman's only good against Reigns. Yeah, I said it. He's better than the corpse of The Undertaker though. WWE SD Tag Team Championship 2 vs. 3 Ghetto Odds Match - Usos vs. New Day. Ron Simmons taught me that in the ghetto the odds are always against you. WWE World Heavyweight Championship - Styles vs. Nakamura. A match with no build other than they wrestled in Japan once. US Championship Open Challenge - Roode vs.debuting James Storm. How about two matches where the entire history is from some other company. Mainly just a couple of ring entrances and then a Bludgeon Brothers run-in. The HOF segment. Some backstage product placement skits with Sasha Banks/Bayley and Matt Hardy/Bray Wyatt and Daniel Bryan trying to get them to hug it out or some shit. A Fashion Files segment with Cesaro/Sheamus. Elias and Jeff Jarrett singing With My Baby Tonight. Rousey/Angle/Shane/Orton vs. Steph/Trips/Owens/Zayn - Two lousy matches made into one lousy match. It's better this way cause Stephanie McMahon won't be the only one that can actually go. Maybe a Daniel Bryan turn. Maybe a Jason Jordan turn. Maybe both! Who cares! Universal Championship - Lesnar vs. Reigns. Spear, Superman punch, spear, pin, confetti! Faster than the Goldberg match.

I liked the Broken stuff initially because it was shot so differently and it had this really dark undertone to it. It was a guy that lost the World Title and blamed his brother and snapped to the point that his kid was afraid of what he became and the only way he could become unbroken was to delete his brother from existence. And Jeff was really doing some great character work looking completely distraught about being "deleted" and not being able to interact with his Creatures all while his crazy sister-in-law is screaming in his face. I think the whole gimmick just completely lost any kind of direction when Brother Nero fully embraced his obsolescence. Then it really came off like a bunch of random wacky shit done with the purpose of it going viral with internet memes and gifs. The Woken stuff doesn't work at all cause there was absolutely no journey to it. If you don't know the TNA gimmick then you've got no context. He's just this broken down chuckling hillbilly making stupid faces and screaming "DELETE" over and over while some fans do a Nazi salute.

That's too bad. He's a guy that really should have a higher profile. I'm a little surprised he never got picked up by somebody like an EVOLVE or ROH.

Maybe...but both Reigns and Ambrose also suffered their own respective ailments shortly after reuniting with Rollins.

Ron Fuller's monkey story is as good as Cornette reviewing Raw 25 is bad. Willie B was not a girl ape though. I saw him when I was in like 2nd grade. Just sitting in his cell watching the news on TV. Then I saw him again in high school. Just sitting on a rock in the outdoor habitat watching the other apes running around. He didn't do any of those Australian monkey highspots.

Probably like ten.

With Ahmed Johnson to boot.

Austin/Benoit from SmackDown (May 31, 2001) in Edmonton. I think it's Austin's best match as a heel.
