On one hand, I came up in the 80s when the WWF wouldn't even acknowledge that other wrestling companies existed, so this kind of shit is mind-blowing.
On the other hand, it's only WWE.com. When I see promo spots for the next Evolve iPPV on Raw, I'll be impressed.

Nobody's watching Homeland this season? It's pretty good so far.

I think someone here posted a video of commentary that Graves did with two kids and I remember one of those kids in particular was really funny. Definitely did a better job than the RAW team most weeks.
The kid announcer saying Drake Younger looked like an angry, old Vin Diesel was hilarious. "Look at that ref. I wouldn't mess with him."

In a just world, Full Nelson Mandela would be Hoodslam gimmick by the time I finish typing this sentence.
Damn. I wanted a wrestling related pun for a name and Browser Brody and Harley Racist were already taken. Full Nelson Mandela would have been amazing.

OK, I'll bite.
Why were there tires at ringside?
Maybe Fat Fuck Barrel Boy worked the show?
“He’s fat, he’s a fuck, he wears a barrel…what’s not to like?”
I was going to go with Crossfit Death Match, but any day I get a JCW/Stranglemania reference is a good day.

I think the idea of having challengers ready to go for the new champion is more of that passe, old time rasslin talk, pal.

Under the Coffee Table, a talk show hosted by Jimmy Valiant. Wait til they get to the cooking segment with Jim Duggan.

There's a reason Piper would drop falls every night on House Shows but would never ever drop a fall on TV.
Because he was a fucking lunatic?
The "motion capture suit" tights haven't helped since the heel turn.
Seth's gear is rather goofy. His kneepads and boots are too wide and bulky, so he looks like Mega Man or some such anime character.
-
Cristobal's is more in line with what the writers have in mind though
“During my time on the WWE creative team, we actually were told that there really are no babyfaces or heels in the Divas division. It was strongly implied that the Divas are all just a bunch of catty chicks, most of whom are mentally unstable.

Seth is booked awesome. He gets the rub from being in all those segments with HHH and Steph. He's a weak champion? Nah, that's old time rasslin' logic there. We're making movies, pal.

No discussion yet on the Season 6 premiere episode?
After 90 minutes, the main thing I left the episode thinking was "I guess they still have helium tanks and balloons in the zombie apocolypse"
LOL my wife said the same thing. "Where'd they get the helium?" My only answer was, "well they also have flare guns." Yeah, it's pretty amazing that Alexandria has exactly what they need when they need it.
My wife got very annoyed that they didn't just turn the quarry into a BBQ pit and burn the walkers. Would have been much less time consuming and much less of a risk.
Other than that, a pretty big pile of "Meh..."
Maybe the smell of burning walkers would attract more walkers? Shit, I got nothin'. I enjoyed the episode and after the snoozefest that was Fear the Walking Dead, I felt the 90 minutes really flew. I enjoyed the comedic moments, like Professor Mullet respecting Heath's hair game and Morgan still being batshit crazy, pestering Michonne about his missing peanut butter protein bar.

I hear Alpha Brain's side effects include "not knowing whether to shit or wind your watch." Can you confirm?

Performance Center is unlockable after you complete the "eat a jelly donut out of a trainee's ass" minigame.

Main event was an ungodly clusterfuck and of course, Seth lost to Kane even with a billion people helping him.
*wrinkles brow in confusion*
Seth is a chickenshit heel champ, he's supposed to lose non-title matches
Chickenshit heel losing tons of non-title matches can be okay for an IC-Level guy - not the World champ. Jesus, even Honky Tonk did fewer pinfall jobs and he was the IC Champ.
I don't even recall Honky ever getting pinned on tv as IC champ. Lots of jobs by DQ/countout but I don't remember him eating any pinfalls on tv.
I don't even recall seeing a singles champion work a non title match back in the 80s unless it was a champ going over in a jobber squash and it was only a billed as a non-title match because no way was Rusty Brooks a contender and giving him a shot devalued the belt. Rest assured if the champion did work a non title match and lost, or dropped the fall in a tag, it was because they were setting up a serious championship program.

What about Brown Pants and Pageboy Haircut Shawn Michaels? Is that a pre-order bonus?
-
It isn't saying "press button for sweet chin music".
It's a check box.
It's telling you to preform Sweet Chin Music to achieve the match objective and unlock stuff.
GAH
Thanks man
-
I'm not sure anyone is saying "just run NXT and call it Raw." But if you did a show closer to NXT and just threw a few bones to the network, it'd be a hell of a lot better than the crap we're served every Monday.
-
Not a glitch, that's just how Shawn sells. See the Hogan match for verification.
I'm curious about the "press (button) for Sweet Chin Music" prompt. If you'd hit that button, would it have suddenly jumped to a cut scene where HHH is magically of the table and getting hit with the finish? Because, if so, that's pretty awful.

Wrestling Observer Radio was just hilarious with Dave talking about how impressed he was with "Impact's new set".
Dave is just old timey that way. He also refers to cable networks as "stations," which is both quaint and maddening in equal parts. Still not as bad as Alvarez asking the same mailbag questions on shows a week apart. I knew the answer verbatim. Is it concussions or just laziness? Yes, Bryan hosts like 10 shows a week, but the lack of effort he puts into prepping for any of them is embarrassing.

Sable didn't care about the business though. She just was using the business to get into Playboy. Again. Apples and oranges. And it's not like Shawn and Bret exactly got away with their behavior either. Bret essentially got kicked out and Shawn was told to go home on several different occasions.
That's the after the fact logic that I'm sure there's a fancy Latin term for. Sable was a wrestling performer, got into Playboy, then we all said "shit, she just did wrestling to get into Playboy!" Meanwhile, as far as her contemporaries go, Bret's taking time off to shoot Lonesome Dove and the Rock transitioned into a movie career and nobody claimed they only got into wrestling as a stepping stone.
-
Amazing double standard that I completely forgot about. Sable became too much of a headache on a roster that included some of the biggest male divas in history.
Hire men and they get egos and become difficult? Well god damn, they're just strong-willed go-getters who fight for what they want!
Hire women and they get egos and become difficult? Fuck, who brought those bitches in? We need to stop hiring/pushing women so hard because they get big heads!

I don't understand the "they have to answer to the networks" argument. As long as they're not doing Attitude Era style bullshit, I don't think the networks care about the content, booking, etc. The impression I got from HHH's quote is more along the lines of Vince's GOD DAMN IT WE'RE MAKING MOVIES PAL logic, how the main roster needs to be booked "for a broader audience."
("Broader audience" in this case is defined as "people who don't give a shit about wrestling but we'll desperately pursue them anyway.")
-
Digging the show shows so far. I'm a few matches into night 1. I enjoyed Melissa Santos doing the LU style intros, including "They Call Him......Cage" and I'm amazed she can get in and out of the ring in that outfit. Cage/Aerostar had a few blown spots but was still good, same for Busick/Everertt, Ospreay/Andrews was fucking NICE. Commentary, as always, is awesome. Aerostar did a flip dive and Excalibur yelled, "that's how Chuck Taylor lost his leg to gangrene!" Not as good as "El Generico is a big boy!!" but close. Great great show so far. Left off with ICMG vs Guerros del Cielo.

Christ, when I asked if they'd done this once before, I should have known the answer was "no, TWICE."

Holy shit that shirt is so 80s if you hold it up to your ear, you faintly hear "Africa" by Toto.
