I was scrolling too fast, saw Statham, and hoped it was Crank 3.

You're right about the name WWE. I have a Washington Post magazine in front of me that references a trophy given in an office as "a WWF-style belt" so, after all this time, it still hasn't caught on 14 years later because wrestling is still considered lowest common denominator entertainment for retards, rednecks and children.

Seriously, when you're using the same finish as La Resistance, maybe it's time to rethink things.

LOL I was going to mention that as well but felt I would be picking on Joe too much! It's actually worse than you said: Powerbomb-->pin-->kick out-->Boston Crab-->opponent breaks hold slightly-->STF or crossface Seriously, just scout your opponent and figure out a combo breaker. Same goes for any contrived signature combo, like AJ Styles' drop down, leapfrog, dropkick. For fuck's sake, you know it's coming!

I want to see Owens hit the package piledriver in WWE just once instead of just teasing it. I know the Steenalizer might be too much to ask for, though.

Any of WWE's "jump up into the air, grab a guy by the head in some awkward way and slam him to the mat" finishers can all eat a dick. The Zig Zag, Paydirt and whatever R-Truth calls his move all suck ass.

Holy shit. Yeah, I hate that move, especially Lethal's execution of it. Guy stands there frozen, maybe swaying from side to side waiting for it like a character in MK waiting for a fatality while Jay signals for it and goes into the convoluted setup. It is only cool if a flippy dude uses it as a counter once in a while. As a finisher it's awful. Doubly so because the guy doing it is a heel and, as such, shouldn't be doing flashy shit.

Not finishers per se, but I can't stand "signature counters" because they're just too business exposing in their need for obvious cooperation. For example, women who never ever did top rope moves would suddenly think they're Superfly Snuka against Trish Stratus so she could do the Stratusphere. Ditto Samoa Joe's corner Uranage.

They should rebrand both shows but they won't. "Smackdown" is a dated reference, named after the catchphrase of a guy who barely works for them. Shouldn't they be looking forward, not backward? And there's nothing "Raw" anymore about their canned, overproduced, overscripted Monday show. The show started as a food truck, now it's an Applebee's. Neither name fits anymore and they're so far past due to freshen things up it's ridiculous. They need change it up and get away from how homogeneous everything is. They've been using the same sets for eight years. Fuck.

It wasn't Heenan's fault...Bischoff didn't clue the announcers in on the angle. What a fucking goof.

Holy shit a Creepshow comic reference in 2016. Bravo to you sir.

Jerry was right to be mad at her, out carousing like that on a school night.

We need an Austin guest spot where "TIE-JIRI" gives him words of wisdom.

Holy fuck what a dumb spot

Ha! Nope, that was their big album from 1993, which predated ECW by about a year.

It just dawned on me yesterday that Ambrose's finish is called Dirty Deeds because Vince is a huge AC/DC fan.

Back in the 90s, listening to Siamese Dream, did you ever imagine its royalties would be funding the dying breaths of an awful wrestling promotion 20 years later? The world is funny sometimes.

That was my read on it, too. They wouldn't suspend him unless the bloom was off the rose and the push was over. I haven't heard the podcast yet but apparently Meltzer said the B-shows with Ambrose on top were drawing the same or better than the A shows with Reigns, so money talks.

All we need is Kevin Dunn to die in an unfortunate smelting accident and it'll be Smark Christmas in June

Lending more credence to the argument for rehiring Chris Hero. Twinkies and Armour Thyroid aren't on the banned list.

Sami Callihan and Super Porky

I read that article and it just felt so desperate to me, like the producers locked the writers in a room and made them watch Guardians of the Galaxy and Deadpool on a loop for a week. "GODDAMMIT MAKE IT FUNNY." When we see Batman cruising the city in the Batmobile listening to the 70s pop compilation that Martha Wayne left for him, we'll know.

Damn, looks like a good show. And next should be BOLA.

Much like the Devil's best trick was convincing man that he didn't exist, Russo's best trick is that he comes across as so intelligent and reasonable. Then you hire him.
