That main event was booked perfectly, and Reigns delivered in-ring. Cena/Rusev might end up MOTY, even if I felt the ending should have been a bit different (I'd have had Cena win by rollup or something creative and flash instead of finisher). That's a minor quibble though- Rusev should be a made man now.

For example- Barrett- why does Wasteland no longer give pinfalls- is the move less effective now due to injuries? This works better for certain guys- it would be a lot better for Sheamus than it would be for Bryan or Cena as an example.

Hopefully Snoredek finally gets what's coming to him. That guy only has one job skill, and that is keeping his job.

I'm looking more forward to being able to stop watching WWE than the show itself. Made a promise to a friend to keep network until WM (he has no internet) Maybe I can get him into NJPW or something.

Wasn't that his AWA gimmick? He wore the trucker hat and stuff.

I think West Virginia has a shot against Kentucky- they got enough bodies to keep fouling and frustrating.

Kevin Sullivan used a double stomp to the chest as a finish in WCW.

I think he wants to last long enough to see Roy Williams burn, if the NCAA isn't afraid of slapping Chapel Hill (I think they are scared)

Heel Lawler was one of the great jobber-squashers, just because of how he'd talk on the mic while he did it. The closest I've seen to that was the Rock doing a bit of it a couple of times, and the Smokin' Giant and Drinkin' Scott Hall gimmicks in WCW.

No I'm not, I'm just wondering how much such a thing would stupidly raise. My guess not that much TBH, but I'm just surprising given what I remember over the anger with Vader/Hogan.

Here's one- back in the 90s, some fans tried to start a shoot Vader shoot fund vs Hogan. Lets say someone could do that on Kickstarter without it being pulled- how much would fans offer Brock to shoot on Reigns? Wouldn't be anywhere near enough, but wonder how much they'd get?

I loved that Regal feud. Not sure which one was better Regal-Zybisco or the Cody-Booker T one from a few years back.

I think they're actively trying to piss away their old fans right now,with the idea that if they have only new fans, it will make their job easier. That makes absolutely no sense, but that's what I think is going on.

Yes, and what does it say when the best heel in the fed isn't a worker? Ace worker in the fed is Luke Harper. Dude is the unsung hero of the mid-card that will never hold a title. He's already held a title.

I think there really was an American Gladiators invasion angle somewhere, I vaguely remember one from my youth. They invaded some other show.

They have the goods in-ring to be a great team, but they really need a gimmick or some more presence. I keep thinking they're a poor man's Jindrak and O'Haire- I remember when those two debuted in WCW, the whole room exploded because we felt like they were awesome athletes who looked badass. They need something to make them look badass instead of CAW's. As for Crowe, with that tan he reminds me of Lister from Red Dwarf- maybe he could get over if he started calling Regal a smeghead...

The perfect Zayn/Neville. Showed that to a friend who hadn't ever seen either of them, and he was hooked on it, and his idea of good wrestling is 70s Mid-Atlantic because that's what he grew up on as a kid. (and he loved Dude Love as an adult)

Storm was WCW's Dolph Ziggler.

Undertaker? He wore a shirt much of his career. Foley?

I decided after Summerslam that I would give the WWE until WM, then decide. Right now it sounds like I'll be done. NXT is great, but it will get gutted/ruined at some point soon. I just think pro wrestling in the US is going to slowly die now. I think Roman is ruined now- if he's main eventing in ten years- the Raw Zone will return, at Universal Studios.

If Bryan is that fragile, best place for him would probably be rebuilding the tag division, best way to do that would be a Bryan/Ryback team IMO.

That's my question--did HBK ever have a GOOD look? Most signs point to no. He was ok when he was jobbing in World Class.

that's the olympic punishment standard.

There are small guys now who would be cruisers 10-15 years like Seth Rollins, Bryan, and many of the NXT guys. In some ways, i think it would be better for some of them if the Cruiser Belt was still around, provided it was treated with real respect (which it wouldn't be in WWE)

Kane, Goldust, Cena.... Cena in NXT for an extended period of time could be fun. You could always run some sort of angle that sends someone to NXT as a stip for losing a match.
