Barefoot on an airplane is some quality, long lasting heel work.

Barefoot below seat level is strongly frowned upon, but doesn't make you a villain...but as soon as you put your nasty, disgusting ass, foot on some shit somebody might touch with their hands, you are dead to me.

Chris Jericho on Inside the NBA? WWE counter-punches with John Cena on tonight's NFL halftime. 

Thursday Night Warz!

I didn't see Cena's appearance, but there's no way it was better than Jericho's!  Chris' segment ended with all of the TNT anchors "wrestling" in a ring.  It was completely bonkers and amazing.

I'n right on the cusp; I'll be 39 on Thanksgiving. I definitely identify more with Gen X than I do millennials or Gen Y or whatever the hell else it's called. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to go play street hockey and then watch Clerks while enjoying grape Gatorade.

I'm right there with you. I'm a year younger than you, and I don't identify with the younger part of people born in the 1980s at all.

You think that's something? Check the spoilers for the in-progress Raw taping.

You can always be a different generation at heart. Everyone's saying Boomers, but all y'all are more THE GREATEST GENERATION.

Riddle should have a "must wear socks" stip in a future match. Yeah, shoes and boots is one thing, but socks alone, you know is going to be a serious problem.

Like any of you people could have made it to Monday.

Rusev lost half of his allure when he lost the barefoot aesthetic.

It's insane how far and how much pull Cody's promo from Wednesday is generating. I hate comparisons because.. well It breeds a certain type of fan that I grew out of in my teenage years.. but shit. That was Cody's *pipebomb* promo. I hope AEW haven't booked themselves into a corner with this. Cody needs to win, right? Like is this a fiend situation here? (maybe the wrong thread)

edit: that thread was closed. sigh

I read the spoiler on the Rusev angle. I almost coughed up my kung pow chicken while reading it.

I’m 38 and don’t want to live on this planet most days. I don’t identify with anything trendy or of the last 20 years. Now all of you get off my lawn.

Why do you think most of my material comes from the 90s? The only thing I really hated about the 90s was school. Being a few years older and able to go to shows earlier than I did would have made it better. Going through high school depressed and not getting help until senior year was hell.

That thread was opened back up. Thibs got banned again. AEW needs to pull the trigger on Cody now. He's as hot as he might ever be, and you could even start to plant the seeds of MJF being jealous or a Hangman Page heel turn, or the winner of Omega/Moxley lined up for a title shot.

Davey Richards is back and working under a mask in Mexico it would appear

I love that even the guy who uploaded the clip gave up on it before it ended.  For all we know, they're still countering each other.

[LoneWolf&Subs 4,415]

That has potential to be a great comedic spot in DDT.

[MORELOCK 2,579]

I know y'all love WALTER, but calling Imperium showing up to beat up Heavy Machinery a big spoiler is being pretty generous.

[LoneWolf&Subs 4,415]

Some people don’t read results, and don’t want to know what unannounced wrestlers are showing up. Even if it isn’t a storyline twist.

It added alot to his presentation, and I had no clue he was trained by Rikishi and that probably was a Yoko or Umaga Tribute. 

People talk about political assassinations,  I  don't know it anyone today has been more obviously a victim of a political hit than Rusev he has everything going for him, WWE can play off of and even the fact that he has a great personality off screen. He could've been the Bulgarian Umaga or Yokozuna. 

Before they were forced to stop using Yoko, they were slowly humanizing him on screen, having him speak like his real self and everything, much like they did with Taker and Mankind over the years. It would've been interesting if they wouldve just ditched the Japanese gimmick and had him acknowledge his Samoa culture on TV. 

With Rusev they basically buried his Bulgarian brute gimmick and separated him and Lana a few times and turned him into a generic monster heel. I wish they could've let be the strong foreign monster heel that he should've been then slowly let him humanize over time organically. They are letting him show some personality and he does have the natural comedic timing that they usually like to bring out for guys to look bad.

I always thought he’d have been a perfect fit in NOD if he ever came back... or add him and some other samoans into GANG WARZ

[Oyaji 7,390]

Now I'm just picturing him on a motorcycle after joining DOA. It's like Big Pun x 5. 

[Casey 5,109]

In a different world, American Badass Undertaker debuts way earlier than 2000 and forms the BSK as an actual stable on WWF TV with members of DOA and people like Rikishi and Yokozuna.
