WWE sent an e-mail out this morning with a Back to the Future theme (so kudos to them for only being two days late to the party on BTTF Day) and they've got a sale with some new legends shirts -

"Is the flag flying at half-mast, Brock? Wanna get Alpha Brain as a sponsor!?"

He should start wearing that sweet hat he sometimes wore during promos in 85/86: It's amazing how much character each guy has just standing there sternly. You see them and just know you don't want to fuck with either guy. Now, they'd just be Team Dad Bod.

TNA just didn't see enough proof. Kinda like Vince saying that if he saw a needle hanging out of a guy's ass, he'd only have probable cause that he MIGHT be using steroids.

Arn is desperately clinging to the three hairs on top of his head. But yet, he still hasn't aged much since the '90s - another benefit of being born and looking 45.

But. Dat. Ass. Tho. And her finisher's the "Rack Attack" and she has a giant rack. She has a nice forearm/elbow shot. In another era she could have the Lex Luger loaded forearm gimmick for it. This could lead to an amusing skit where Nikki is gone for a few weeks and Brie says "Nikki left for augmentation surgery" and then they say she's got a steel plate in her forearm.

So we had Austin, Taker, HBK, Flair, AND A SHIELD REUNION and still wound up with a middling show. Rusev was in a match and didn't job, so I guess he's out of the doghouse. Moreover, BARRETT ACTUALLY WON and Owens looked strong. Seth also GOT A WIN against Ryback, and didn't even need to cheat to beat an IC-level guy. Owens vs. Henry was the most fun thing on the show by leaps and bounds - Henry went up high for the powerbomb, which was amazing, and these guys need to just feud forever. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2015/10/wwe-raw-10-19-15.html Screens - LOLDeadmanLOL Hatewatching Team P, T, and A http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/fuz2isriwtp4hgrleat8604g26jypja5

Dixie's hype for Lashley vs. Roode consisted of being very excited that @fightbobby was facing @fightbobby - so beyond that Storm is coming joke for BFG 2014, she really doesn't have the patience to look at even tweets let alone e-mails.

Super-fun show there. Loved everything but the battle royal, and Nia Jax's debut. Her gear wasn't flattering in any way and she came off as having more talent than Tapa, but far less "it factor" than Kong. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2015/10/nxt-10-14-15.html Screens - http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/gps1q4cwka0umv9l4tylpy5u0e345eul

The placement of Big Bubba and Booty Man is something else. "I want him in the game until he dies playing" And is then taken to a "local medical facility" for treatment which will "no doubt be a trending topic".

Wrestling Observer Radio was just hilarious with Dave talking about how impressed he was with "Impact's new set".

*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.

Very blah show overall. Cena vs. Dolph was legit good, as was some of Corporate Kane's stuff backstage. The whole Rusev/Lana thing was a disaster here. He lost to Ryback in a nothing match and had his balls cut off in a Steph-level verbal beatdown by Summer. Main event was an ungodly clusterfuck and of course, Seth lost to Kane even with a billion people helping him. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2015/10/wwe-raw-10-12-15.html Screens - http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/2yzl95vhrlomdkfwil7q0lhfetd3pjrs

I guess he didn't want to risk losing his mask against Rey, so he'll take some All Elite work, then go back to CMLL and maybe take Atlantis's mask. Shocked AAA didn't have him locked up if they wanted to build up more of the Rey vs. Myzteziz feud. Thank God he can't use that goofball name anywhere else. I love the epic music here transitioning into a wacky Mexican cowboy song.

Or they go the Bill Watts route and say "yeah, as you can see here, STORM JUST COULDN'T HANG IN TNA. HE COULDN'T TAKE THE PRESSURE IN THE BIG LEAGUES. That's why he only held our World Title for a week!".

Yeah. Lashley has never been a good promo, but even by his standards, that was dreadful. I did adore Aries to no end for verbally putting himself over not only EC3, but EVERY TNA HALL OF FAMER prior to 2015.

So this was just an absolute clusterfuck in theory. It wound up being a solid little tournament, even if it came out of nowhere if you were just going by Impact shows. Drew vs. Bram was fun minus the weird mid-match conversation. Brooke vs. Gail was excellent, and set up a future Knockouts title match logically too. Spud vs. Grado was just awful as a comedy match, and worse when you think it's part of a World title tourney. Madison vs. Kong was fun, and Anderson vs. Lashley over-delivered. Aries vs. EC3 was perfect for what it needed to be, and kudos to Aries for not even being signed and still finding a way to verbally put himself over on their former world champion.

They're competing in a match in Japan soon (or maybe they already have). Terry Funk might just retire by 2020.

That was chuckle-worthy.

This was one of those Raws that refused to end most of the time. I enjoyed some of the Kane-Seth stuff, none of anything involving Steph. Really didn't need her burying New Day, could have done without the patronizing cancer stuff beyond giving airtime to survivors, and I'm glad they gave Sasha a win in her hometown. Main event was a thing - kind of a rise to glory for New Day. Shame it happened on a night where it was made clear the rug could be pulled out from under them at any time. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2015/10/wwe-raw-10-5-15.html Screens - How to Kill an Act in 30 Seconds #divasrevolution http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/936cgyau1753mt3479cav9259g7o82yi

Pretty sad show to watch. They went for a TNA Greatest Hits theme and you kinda got the 65 year old rockers who can kinda play, and some that can't. Kong-Kim was depressing, while the X Title and Tag Title matches at least had some life to them. Everett should get triple pay for taking that stupid bump off the X in this era of TNA. Roode vs. Lashley was technically good, but impossible to care about. EY-Angle was just a clusterfuck. The World title match was an absolute farce too and really didn't help anyone - even if Matt's celebration at the end was good and Big John's backstage bump was hilarious. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2015/10/tna-bound-for-glory-2015.html Screens - http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/5d6928w4sadag6aw76gk253g7wr1v1r1

I like that the catalog photos are just Mick and Colette posing in front of their house, but since it's black and white, it almost works out just fine.

I can imagine Stephanie as Queen Beryl quite easily.

Well, you'd have fallen asleep with the New Day match. Seriously, it's one of TWO MATCHES they actually built up on TV and THAT'S what they gave us.
