  1. They really need to book it like Cannonball Run where each competitor develops a strategy. Do you sprint? Do you camp? Does Daniel Bryan buy some PF Flyers?
  2. Lashley is a fascinating story. Had a WWE run where they really got behind him but he fizzled out due to lack of personality, then he goes to TNA and finally a personality breaks through with his heel run and he’s a lot of fun to watch, then he comes back for big money and....they don’t even try with the personality stuff and push him the same way they did before. What the fuck did they think was gonna happen? Very similar story to EC3. If there’s two things Vince loves its arrogant rich guy heels who can talk and body guys. EC3 was that dude and they never even tried. Just weird.
  3. If Cameo were around 30 years ago, Howard would be a multimillionaire.
  4. How many figures in wrestling are unanimously considered the best to do what they did? Even with Heenan as a color man, there are no shortage of people that prefer Jesse. But Fink is universally regarded as the best. I’m honestly struggling to think of anyone else with as much GOAT market share for their specific role on a show.
  5. You have to think that the move to Raw and the Black match saved Crews, as well. Gable is probably also in Joe Lunardi's Last Four In
  6. I’d argue Ryder’s YouTube show was very influential. For a few weeks it was the talk of wrestling, got him over, and paved the way for private channels as a way for wrestlers to develop a fan base (UUDD, Celtic workouts, etc).
  7. The commercial breaks gave the main event no real chance to be great and the these 30 minute empty arena brawls struggle to even be ‘good’ by design, but I did appreciate the unique MMA inspired approach to the whole thing as an idea. Probably the best use of Hager.
  8. Hawkins and Slater on the heel side and Jose and Ryder on the face side were four of their go-to opening match (dark match, live event) guys. Will be interesting to see who takes those roles.
  9. In a world where Wardlow isn’t already MJF’s heavy, I could see EC3 being absolutely perfect for that. Heavy who is also his lifelong best bro because their dads co-own a quant strat hedge fund together.
  10. A NJPW run working with guys like Ishii learning the art of the hoss and letting his personality come through could do Rusev a world of good and possibly lead to a Drew-like bounceback in a few years. I'm sure they'd have him - I don't know if he'd want it (especially if Lana is still in the US with WWE).
  11. Of all the writers to fire you fire the Otis and Mandy writer? Man, that was the best written thing on a SD show that has otherwise been absolute hot garbage.
  12. something like the origins and complete history of deathmatch wrestling would make for a really good episode. Non-hardcore fans are always fascinated / completely freaked out by it, and you could go into a bunch of stuff about Memphis, Puerto Rico, Japan.
  13. They just built an entire show around Andrade. Holy shit.
  14. Aww man saw Heath in there. That sucks. He's been the "what an awesome dude" MVP of a whole bunch of the docs and social media stuff lately.
  15. Interesting to see this strategy of cutting producers unfold. What will that mean for how they arrange the matches? Sorry to hear this news for those that lost their jobs. This whole thing sucks.
  16. I’m pretty staunchly a no shows right now guy but if we’re doing this Florida thing someone should run a show at an empty Club La Vela
  17. Daniels is hit or miss but him looking for the BTE 200 sign to point to got a legit lol from me
  18. All the flipping and no selling but the kid hooked the bear's inside leg. Exactly what's wrong with the business today.
  19. Loved the Zelina-themed episode stuff. I can’t believe they’ve turned Ricochet of all people into a JTTS. Drew is great in this role and is such a likable guy but Rollins is an obvious hard pass. I get that options are limited. Two weeks of Drew being booked like Big Dude Bret Hart in terms of how they present him as a champ. I can dig that. My favorite thing tonight was Garza calling the camera man up to the apron to talk shit. That’s adapting to the environment. Oh and Lorcan and Black beat the piss out of each other. No other match in the empty PC has sounded like that. Damn son.
  20. Cesaro Appreciation Day was great. Super entertaining, witty guy and your favorite wrestler's favorite wrestler.
  21. Disgusting promotional tactic of 2020 looks locked up early. That's just awful to see/read. Contribution:
  22. I had to think about this one for a moment because my go-to worst regular spot for 15 years was Cena avoiding two haymakers that wrestlers never throw otherwise for his side slam spot. But nowadays...it’s gotta be the Panama Sunrise
