So Paul just thought it sounded cool and started saying it for no reason? Per Bix - Heyman has been making this joke for like 20 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 In that case, I suppose I should be grateful it's only come to my attention during this run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxB Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Paul E used to call Bubba the Night Mayor of Dudleyville. But before that, when he was leading the Dangerous Alliance in WCW, he'd call himself the Night Mayor of New York, so he's been thinking it sounded cool for 25 years at least.

Wyld Samurai Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I can only imagine the Night Mayor having a Night Court. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clintthecrippler Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 If that fan did indeed have a knife, then damn, I can imagine everyone is breathing sigh of relief that the guy didn't jump the rail while the lights were down moments later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRGoldman Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 When Heyman calls Brock the Night Mayor, I can't help but wonder if that means he's the fighter of the Day Mayor. The he only good part of Raw was the look of abject fear Darren and Titus had when the did the millions of dollars dance with Backlund and both clearly thought at any moment he might just put them in the chicken wing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That explains it then, I grew up a WWF kid, so I missed most of the Dangerous Alliance run and never watched much of ECW, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has five moves (not an exaggeration) none of which look particularly hurty. He's not a great promo. His matches arent compelling. I know he does the demon stuff, but that's kind of a one trick pony. I don't get it. He's a pretty good-looking dude, for one. Has solid WWE-style matches. I really feel like he's the first guy to come out of NXT since Reigns/Rollins that everyone is on board with being: the guy. 2 hours ago, RIPPA said: I was saying this last night but if they had had Slater recover and jump Brock - all my britches would have gone out the window. I mean Brock's kills him again but they could have gotten Slater over in less than 10 seconds Yeah, that's just it. He doesn't have to win. He doesn't even have to come close. He just gets back in, attacks Brock, gets destroyed again, Heyman says something about him having more guts than brains. Maybe a Lesnar smirk, and Heath is made. 54 minutes ago, JRGoldman said: When Heyman calls Brock the Night Mayor, I can't help but wonder if that means he's the fighter of the Day Mayor.

I loved that even Michael Cole wasn't going to bother to get engrossed in the PTP reunion so that when Titus turned on D.Young, he just went "Clash of the Titus!" rather than "OMG what is Titus doing to his partner?!?" Speaking of, Cole had a bad night. In that Sheamus-Zayn match he called "Irish Curse" then "I'm sorry that was White Noise!" followed by "Michinoku Driver!" while Graves calmly says "Sami almost had him with that Blue Thunder Bomb".

If you are a fan who is going to jump in the ring at a show where Brock Lesnar is on the card and you don't do it when Brock Lesnar is in the ring...well, sir, then you are a fucking pussy. I'm sorry, but it had to be said. He had a knife, not a rail gun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Quote TMZ.com is reporting that 23 year old Edward Ferrero, the fan who jumped in the ring during the Seth Rollins promo during Raw last night, was arrested for assault and criminal trespass. When Ferrero made contact with security, he bit one of the guards on their forearm but thankfully, the guard did not need medical attention.

piranesi Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 That settles it. Anyone who is not 1) Under 20 and therefore still possibly enjoying the show as a kid might 2) Over 40 and therefore at the show to show proper respect toward the craft, chant for Bayley, live-blog results for their anti-Meltzer blog, and probably unable to hop the wall anyways due to weight/knee issues should be issued mandatory bite guards and ankle-cuffed to their seat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That got a nice laugh over here. Graves didn't even give him time to correct himself; as soon as he said it I was waiting for it and Graves just spilt the beans and they went on like nothing happened. Big E makes some good points too, esp. the McGregor resemblance. I just hope Tom doesn't drink toilet water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammo~! Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Isn't one of the main reasons the demon king shtick is so over is because it appeals to the ladies because slithering Finn has a magnificent butt while also appealing to trench coated neckbeards who loved the Maximum Carnage comics in the 90s? It's the perfect storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attractive guy with rock-hard abs writhing around in his underwear and body paint as smoke fills the arena and pulsating music blares from the speakers. It's at least erotic cosplay. So your better half isn't far off with her question. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
