Maybe Punk should have fought someone his age and also matching his experience level. That would not have been hard to find with the zillions of MMA gyms and independent promotions. A fair fight. You know, instead of a 24 year old crowbar grappler who usually wins by rear naked choke and has potential to be a real UFC star. UFC booked Punk in a squash to make pro wrestling look inferior. If a guy is learning to drive a car you don't put him in a NASCAR race, unless you want to make him look bad.

Bam Neely had a cup of coffee in WWE but I remember virtually nothing about him. Ron Waterman was a Heat jobber who was supposed to go places but never did. Sakoda was Yang's extremely injury prone partner. Tiger Ali Sing was supposedly hated by other wrestlers and shitcanned quickly. The Maestro was hated by WCW and shitcanned as well. Jesus Aguilera was a talented man with an unescapable bad gimmick. Joy Giovanni was Big Show's hot platonic friend. I heard they all got jobs at the Olive Garden and Shane Douglas is their manager.

How about NXT star Lucky Cannon and his Flair robe. Or Eli Cottonwood and his Khali pants. If ever there were wrestlers who should work at a gas station instead of on a wrestling show, its those two.

Anyone remember BA Brad Armstrong as the only wrestler in No Limit soldiers who could wrestle?

Bull Buchanon slamming a car door on John Cena after he got sick of being B Squared. Bull Buchanon, Tomko, Manu, Ricky Ortiz and Jackson Andrews were so forgettable in WWE. Ortiz could walk by a hundred Raw fans on the street and no one would recognize him.

I read a rumor that SD will have cruisers too. I hope that's true.

The deadpan delivery of the absurd PMS storyline had me laughing out loud by point no.2. I suspect Chaz had just signed a lengthy contract and someone wanted him gone. Russo outdid himself with the humiliating gimmick on this one. Russo can embarrass a midcarder like some kind of genius savant playing chess. His gift for humiliation by gimmick should be analyzed by the top scientists in the country.

I loved Curt Hennig/Mr Perfect and was devastated when a female friend referred to Nitro era Curt as "The ugliest face on a man in wrestling and possibly in America."

I always thought Just Joe was planned to be revealed as the real Joey Numbers (someone Tazz constantly mentioned during commentary) but I was told that was not the case.

I assume Fabreeze turn face somehow so they are not heel team no.4 if the Uso's turn heel. I also am the only person alive who loves the Ascention and wants them to crush the Hype bros and that sets up the next contenders to AA (after Usos).

I don't want to see a message board that books wrestler's heel turns, I want to see a wrestler that books message board heel turns. Gabe Sapolsky would have booked the sleaze thread era with more of a payoff and slow build. Paul Heyman would have made the Latina floppies guy an admin. Vince Mcmahon would have kept the politics folder. Dixie Carter would have banned Alan4L and Ryan for being able to tell the difference between Kenta Kobashi and KENTA. Dana White would start USADA testing the mods for testosterone enhancing steroids. I mean the booking of DVDR has been good but we need more late-90's WCW era sensibilities in building feuds.

Those tag belts are ok, Raw and SD. The rest in that spoiler tag are fugly designs in an attempt to look modern when you really should stick to your roots. They are like when Scooby Doo added Scrappy Doo to the show. A cheap attempt to be to appear hip. It just insults the ardent fans. Fans love the history and lineage of wrestling titles. New fans and young fans alike might want to get WWE network if they did more homages to classic things like titles and logos. There is such a rich and storied history in WWE's past. You can view some of it on the network, but they never play that up. When I was a young fan and started watching WWF, the first thing I did was seek out the older PPVs to learn the origins of Wrestlemania and it's various characters. The Raw belt should be the winged eagle updated slightly. The SD belt should be the big gold belt. At least those color swap belts pictured above don't spin. Next year we can expect a neon orange universal championship with Kim Kardashians face on it and Kentucky Fred Chicken logos on the side plates.

Triplemania was really fun this year. Although I like Mesias much more without his Lucha Underground gimmick. Striker was good. I haven't watched the main event yet but I loved most everything else.

I'm with you, the winged eagle, big gold belt and intercontinental are the best. Also, the original Chikara tag belts held by FIST were superb. The open the dream gate is a cool belt. Minoru Suzuki's triple crown 3 belts combo when he was champ were nice too. I really. really love New Day and Miz's long reigns as champs. I want New Day to hold the belts as long as possible. I'm talking in years here. I love when a champ holds a belt for many months and defeats challenger after challenger. That's the only way the belt makes the man. Usually the man makes the belt. Also, Jay Lethal had a really strong run as ROH champ. He was great in his role.

Meltzer said Striker and Hugo were bad on the Triplemania english commentary, but I found them to be quite enjoyable. I am not even a Striker fan but I'll give the devil his due. I'm halfway thru Triplemania and so far it's a very easy and fun show to watch. Next up I am watching a DDT show with like 15 or so matches on the card. Insomnia sucks but an all night wrestling binge will be my consolation.

I heard that if you play as Jack Swagger you have to beat Victor 100 times at Main Event tapings after the drunk driving level.

Just tell people the KO logo stands for Kenny Omega.

Enjoy your 5 identical Kassius Ohno shirts.

Finn Balor's Sling Blade clothesline thing falls victim to the same problem as JTG's sling blade clothesline thing, the problem is that Yoshino did the move so awesomely that it makes anyone else doing it look less impressive by comparison.

My thoughts on the various wrestling podcasters: Court Baur- very intelligent Greeney- behold the raw human libido of a man who's sole sexual fascination is with himself and his own voice. Cornette- a chimp who needs a xanax Konnan- I don't want to hear about what's jojo this week, I don't want to hear you hitting your bong next to the microphone, go away forever. Meltzer- intelligent and good at getting the scoops. Pollock-very smart Ting- makes sense and good points. Alvarez- If Raw and SD are too much WWE for two days in a row, than why the hell is Alvarez podcasting 47 hours a week? also, he thinks one brand should have tags and the other should have women. How is that going to work? Every house show needs tags and women. Are we going to have a SD without tags? a Raw without women? Also, having one touring champion means half the weekend house shows don't get a world champ. That's not going to work. Alvarez is forever trapped in the mindset of a attitude era fan. I do enjoy his podcasting when he's not making gut-based late 90's fan reactions, honestly tho Its time to move on from that era. Wrestling has changed. Torch- some good, some bad

Osaka pro star Johnel Sanders is not impressed, Dolph.
