Just watched the latest episode. Did anyone else find it weird that they had this whole months long build-up for Corbin/Dempsey (which I actually thought was pretty good) and then they blow off the entire feud in a five minute match on a regular episode and it's not even the main event of the show?
It being a stacked episode to mark the show's move to Wednesdays, I didn't really think much of it.

that great six man on Smackdown.
And that other great six man tag on SmackDown.

2010 stuff a bit patchier, but that was more crappy babyface Edge and general bad booking than anything else.
When I think about Jericho's 2010, I recall the Evan Bourne matches and not much else.
The few weeks he has the WHC in 2010 he's pretty money, and he was pretty great as Wade Barrett's mentor on NXT.
That's when he had that awesome Superstars match against Goldust, right?

You're right. My memory for things I skimmed once isn't what it used to be.

I finally got my hands on the Mania XXX release, and I got this book, "Thirty Best Moments of Wrestlemania."
So I tried my hand at this, and could use some feedback: what are the 30 worst?
I could have sworn that was a "Thirty Best Matches of WrestleMania" book.
I'm going to have to go open the secret wall panel where I hide my needlessly large wrestling DVD collection, aren't I?
Also: Miller Lite Catfight Girls.

What kills me about the Rowan/Harper push/feud is that I know full well that in six months I'll be bemoaning the premature breakup of a potential all-time tag team.
But for the next six months, I'm all about spin kicks, torture racks, rubix cubes, and super works bumping for a semi-immobile farmboy.

Quit talking about Adam Rose. He creeps me the ever living fuck out.
In defence of Rose, him riding the bunny (or being rode by the bunny) is infinitely more interesting than Michael Cole pretending to love Rose's lifestyle.
Speaking of things Cole helped kill dead, Emmacrats! Yippie!

Okay, explain like I'm five: Will Steve Austin's live podcast with Vince be a Network exclusive, or will I be able to listen to it the next day on Podcast One?
You will be able to listen to it as well, hence it being a podcast and not just an interview. Not sure if it will be next day however, may be some limitations with vince agreeing to do it.
Which contradicts what Tracy said.
Got it. We know nothing. I'll keep my ear to the ground.

Since they are calling it the Stone Cold Podcast instead of the Steve Austin podcast, I am guessing it is completely independent of Podcast One.
Oh, balls.
I've been avoiding taking the Canadian route to getting the WWE Network (my cable company doesn't have Net Pak). So this just pisses me off.
Fuck the CRTC. Even if they have nothing to do with this. Because they're an easy target.

I was totally hoping Rowan was going to have solved the Rubix Cube when he joined the promo.
Is it wrong that I want Rowan to take Kane's spot as the big monster who is funny?
Kane hasn't occupied that "funny" spot nearly as often as he should have. More often than not, Kane's dead weight. So Rowan wouldn't really be replacing him.
Speaking of Kane being dead weight, I really wish Hunter was an official competitor tonight in Kane's place. The finish was overwrought in that usual Hunter way, so why not?
Don't get me wrong though. I loved it.

Alrighty then.

In plain English: Why did the Master feel the need to put Clara and the Doctor together?
-
Funny that they went through the whole rigamarole with Hoover flipping Narcisse and nothing came of it this season. They didn't have time I guess.
As per Winter, it was one of the stories which got lost in the time jump. By the time 1931 rolled around, the FBI had become less interested in black nationalists.
-
If the confrontation with Chalky was the last we ever saw of Narcisse, that'd have been cool.
Good finale.

SO WHERE THE FUCK DID GILLIAN LEAN WHAT'S PROPER?!!!

I agree with your choices. Wyatts vs Shield at EC is so far and away my top pick that nothing else compares. Though I do want to add a couple more honourable mentions to the discussion: Lesnar vs Cena at SummerSlam, and the Wyatts vs Usos 2/3 falls match.
I'll definitely need to rewatch the Shield-Evolution matches, Bryan-Bray, and the Elimination Chamber match to remind myself how good those were, but I remember ranking them all quite high.
I also have a soft spot for anything Rollins vs Ambrose (MITB ladder match, lumberjack match, post-SummerSlam street fight).

Lost in all of this fun is that Randy Orton is a goon for an overachieving indie brat and he just got showered with mustard.

New thing: Every internet wrestling fan thinks EXACTLY THE SAME WAY.
Not every internet wrestling fan. But there's certainly a prevailing "wisdom" amongst many of us which is worth discussing.

I can't wait for the feud of the century to kick off when Tyler Breeze accidentally uses his phone as a phone and dials 1-800-FELLA.
-
My friend had a great idea of a stable of bare knuckle ass kickers led by Big Show consisting of BNB, Rowan, Sheamus, and Mojo. Makes me think a Sheamus/Rowan mentor angle could go somewhere.
Sheamus doesn't get angles. He gets matches and only matches!
-
If the Wyatt's are splitting I'd like Steph to replace Kane with Rowan because Kane has gone too soft(that and the fact that he's the worst guy on the roster not named Khali).
I'd take Khali over Kane. At least Khali is no longer booked in two segment matches.

I just watched Roddy Piper prove a point by dropping his pants and ranting in front of Bill Maher.
Wrestling is odd.
Could you give more about the story? Like, what was the rant about, when, where, etc.
I just discovered that this was a thing:

Start at around 7:25 if you want to see Piper show some ass. Lord knows how much you guys love that.
