  1. If nothing else, this makes me want Braun's special Wrestlemania entrance song to be He's Large.
  2. It was so easy when it was just the triple crown/grand slam. I didn't even remember that thing on his head was the KOTR crown. I thought it just contributed to the silliness of the picture.

    Speaking of EC3, I hope he and Spud get to work together again at some point. They're magic together. Their hair vs hair match is one of my favorites from TNA.
  4. Yeah, but Jericho also put over Fandango at Wrestlemania and hadn't rehabbed his perception as a Legend/JTTS with the List. It was actually treated like a big swerve when he went over any up and comer at the time. AJ actually credits his work with the Miz as the point where Vince was sold on him. He talked about it on Edge and Christian's podcast.
  5. Vince thought AJ's Rumble reaction was a fluke, so I don't know if he's going to make much out of Cole being over in Philly.
  6. The saddest part about the Bryan thing is that all of his offense was convincing and he didn't have to keep up the dumb shit that got him hurt. Finn could look like he belongs with bigger guys without crippling himself, it's just that nearly everything he does looks bad (at least to me.) Although, as has been pointed out, he's way over so it's not like he has to change anything.
  7. I was against this idea for the Rumble, but this would be a fine time to do the Santina gag as there are basically no stakes.
  8. Let's work backwards from stuff that doesn't work.
  9. Selling her first appearance as a wrestler is going to be a priority for Mania, so I don't think she'll work publicly until then. I'm curious after WM which woman has to be the gatekeeper and cuts the "You Don't Belong Here" promo before putting Ronda over in her first singles match. I guess it'll be Nikki.
  10. The story at Mania is a celebrity athlete transitioning to pro wrestling, so it's a little different than a wrestler who has an MMA background. I expect that she'll get some more training in the next couple of months and be fine for some good spots in the tag match. After that she can spend plenty of time at the PC to get polished. I do agree with whoever suggested she'd need a mouthpiece, at least to get started.
  11. Whoa, I missed that.
  12. It looked to me like she was holding up seven fingers to represent her having won more championships than Mickie.
  13. A friend in high school always said girls gave him Hot Rondas, but I think he was all talk.
  14. That was some bush league sign pointing from Ronda. I'm sure she'll get the hang of it by the fortieth or fiftieth time.
  15. Besides booing Moon for being from Dallas, the crowd seemed pretty tepid responding to her. She was getting some cheers to be sure, but the crazy thing was they were way more into booing Shayna. I don't know if it can stay that way, but she's not a cool heel right now. Once she gets her hands on someone the audience truly likes she could be a nuclear heat magnet.
  16. Everyone in Philly/South Jersey is in a great mood, which means they'll be super polite to each other and enter the building in an orderly fashion before doing Eagles chants during boring spots and shitting down the throat of whoever's pointing at the sign by the end of the night.
  17. I'm okay with Johnny's selling because I grew up a Shawn mark and I'm not bothered by theatrical selling. Even though he lost, there's not a doubt in my mind that Gargano is now the ace for the brand. The match and the commentary was completely designed to put him over, and Almas got a minor "You gotta hand it to him," from Mauro afterwards. I wouldn't be surprised if the grudge match with Ciampa goes on last at Takeover New Orleans over Almas versus presumably Black.
  18. It also makes Ciampa look like an even bigger cold, calculating prick to let the match play out. If Gargano wins, attacking him guarantees Ciampa gets to cut in line for a title shot that Gargano will grant just to get revenge. If Gargano loses, Ciampa gets to beat him down immediately after his hopes and dreams have been crushed.
  19. That was my first time seeing Fish and O'Reilly. They were pretty good, but Fish needs to lose the mouth piece if it's the reason for his egregiously noticeable spot calling. The tag also had the most notable use of silly Dunnesque quick cuts all night during one of AoP's beat down segments.
  20. I thought Cole took the chair spot about as safely as one could. The electric chair bump onto the ladder looked like it could have hurt him a lot more.
  21. It wasn't the standard chain wrestling two guys use to start a match or just show that they know how to go to the mat either. It was serious grappling and they made it look easy.
  22. Great show. Shayna is fucking terrifying. They need to strap a rocket on her.
  23. Vince got an executive producer credit on some of their movies while they were still under contract. I sincerely doubt he's seen any money from their movies for a long time.
  24. Pull the strings!
  25. That was a scandal-ridden couple of years in the early 90s. If all of that had happened at once now, Vince (and maybe the entire company) would likely be done. Although, some really hairy, insane shit has happened subsequently and they're still standing. Props to @Raziel403 for posting a Claude Rains meme.
