No, like I mean I can't log into my account while at work. I don't think it likes IE and I can't exactly just download a new browser here Oh, yeah, that I definitely agree with. About 15 minutes after posting that I tried to pull up a newsletter and the site crashed. It's going to take some time to get it all worked out. EDIT: Can't login now, says page not found. I'll check back on that site in a couple days, not worth trying. As long as I get the podcasts through a podcast app I'm good for now.

Askua's going to go very far. Have never seen her wrestle before (should remedy that soon) but I can tell she has that special something about her. Her addressing the crowd was adorable, and loved the death stare. Can't wait to see her on the special, that's going to be one helluva visual with the makeup and everything.

The color scheme is a lot more bland compared to what it was, but it's categorized nicely. Like being able to see news from only WWE or Japan compared having to comb through lots of articles to pull up what I wanted to see. But all in all I like it.

Rusev's debut was tremendous, and I found it's a great video to get people interested in the show. How can you not like the natural excitement they all have with Tong Po having that chill happy vibe to him? The infamous phrase seals it, many people cracked the hell up watching it. What's cool is it is actually working in bridging that gap that wrestling has been having a hard time with. They'll watch this and start getting into it, then out of curiosity see New Day and maybe flip out over the FF song being used. i've seen many Let's Play videos and what's refreshing about this is there's not much of a gimmick to it. Sure, if you think him being a wrestler is the gimmick so be it. But I watch this and it's just some friends chilling out playing games. That makes for awesome viewing. And I never thought it was possible to get weirded out by anybody saying "Keep it tight", but damn if Big E didn't do his best to accomplish that.

Might as well say the obvious, but looking at that it appears you won't be the only one missing her dancing.

I remember seeing MSL in FIP recently and he has a stable. One look at him and I immediately thought "That's EXACTLY what I figured MSL would be like" I don't hate the guy and really didn't listen to that much MLW radio. But the times I did he sounded pretty damn annoying. Always liked Konnan and Court was/is fine. But from what I've read it's hard to side with anybody on this. It did sound like this would happen, was just a matter of time.

Cesaro was awesome in this, and is another reason the non-regulars tend to be better than the regulars. The whole Kidd/Tyson part of the episode is gold, and it's obvious they are close friends which is awesome. It's going to be sad seeing next week with the injury. Speaking of sad, the Dusty segment was a rough one. To top if off, this morning at the gym the song they used for tribute was playing. Damn that song, no matter how good it is can never hear it and not think of him. But Paige was great in showing how much he meant to them. I'm going to focus on this when thinking about this week's episode, because there was a lot of Diva bullshit outside of that and it was pretty annoying. Paige not knowing why she's engaged, Nikki all of a sudden being a proud Mexican, Nattie can't shutup, all just no good.

John Oliver had a delightful video on BLL that sums up my feelings on that drink quite nicely. There's better chugging beers out there anyway but that's neither here nor there.

FTFY, poor girl is very much a background character with all this going on. Everybody else is well-defined to a degree and so far she's been portrayed as a kinda quirky woman with red hair who does a match here and there. Really hoping she gets a chance to do more. I need to see pictures of this, this sounds amazing to think they'd still do this in 2015.

I am glad I was at home when I found out, otherwise I'd have the same dilemma Tromataker had. I like getting paid as well. I'm so excited for this. I never gave up hope, and am glad to see it's been confirmed. Two shots of tequila, por favor, one for each season!

Haven't heard it yet, but he more than deserves to be in just for saving Roberts and Hall who were on death's door. Factor in his WCW run and it's a sure thing. But I can see him being annoying in the pleas to be in.

MVP is now with MLW doing a VIP Lounge show (way too many abbreviations in that sentence) So far it's good, but I have to power through Alice being on there. I pretty much block out whatever she says anymore. MVP defended her last night unaware of people not liking her. But she just seems pretty damn clueless. Hoping things pick up in time, maybe a discussion she knows a lot more about would help matters. And the idea of a Talkn Shop drinking game horrifies me. Sounds fun, but if you actually followed it you'd be dead from alcohol poisoning.

Holy fucking fuck that is sad. I feel the tiniest bit bad for them.

Sound theory but with Paige I'd say there's two crazy women in the group. Bayley would probably be designated driver.

Roddy Piper Terry Funk Dusty Rhodes Didn't have to think much about this one. Sad that two of them are gone, still hard to let that sink in. While it would have been fantastic to drink with them, I can say I drunk with The Briscoes and Papa Briscoe in one of the first shows they did at Du Burns Arena in Baltimore. My now-wife and friends went with me and she just adored them. We drank shots of Wild Turkey, and they were impressed she drank that with no problem. They were cool as can be, and Papa was so much fun to be around. And I found out the hard way no matter what you drive say you drove a Dodge. Told Mark I had a Honda and he had the big eyes going on and was getting animated. Shit, if I happen to see Jay at a show he still remembers me from that. It might not have been throwing shit around and getting in fights, but it's a time I'll never forget. Past that, I've seen Roderick Strong at damn near every after party I've gone to and it's always good to see him. I don't know if they still do ROH after parties when they go around, but damn do I miss them.

I still believe that if they can arrange it so Scott's not tempted by the extracurricular activities that did him in before, him in the Performance Center would be ideal. Can't wait to hear this.

As much as I'm annoyed by the idea of Virgil trying to get a Sheik-like resurgence, that phrase is admittedly pretty good. Surprised nobody used that yet that I'm aware of. Now if his face wasn't on there it might sell a bit more.

Only saw up to the Divas tag match, but I loved it every time Becky and Sasha face each other. Still hoping for a main show epic singles match, but the times there were together were fucking great. And Paige is definitely going to turn, she was pacing afterwards pissed off and she was doing some subtle things to hint at that. Great job. Oh, and how can I forget Tamina shaking her head with the camera zoomed in on her. In a non-wrestling way she's definitely bringing the awesomeness in her role.

In TNA's defense it's impossible to edit out all of Bram's appearance in Lethal Lockdown. They could have tried to minimize it to a degree though. And they can't exactly put a graphic saying this was from before he was arrested, they still try to go for a live show feel.

Most of the way through it, and it's impossible not to like Dana. Really put Warrior in a positive light while admitting he wasn't perfect. Made me think back to his HOF speech about his family, then days later he passes. Man, that's tough to think about. But a great interview.

Crazy seeing Crowe/Crews in a WWE ring. And Gargano/Ciampa were very well received. Loved Asuka's video, very excited for her. But the highlight by leaps and bounds was Bayley. The celebration, the running in the crowd, and especially the stuff with Izzy. No problem saying we were feeling the feels big time. Bayley is so incredibly special in so many ways.

An autographed Backlund book sounds pretty damn awesome, and at $35 that's one helluva deal. Considering books on average are $25 and up you're paying about $10 for a personalized autograph. Not bad. Can't say I've been a fan of Backlund, but I'd love to find out how he became who he is. Michael, Kev72, I'd love to see what you two thought of it.

The bump itself was good, but I remember that match got shit on for many reasons. Chief among them was the fact that the bump happened in the same arena Owen died. I remember a lot of people were pissed off about that.

At least you didn't have to see that angle live. Was there at No Mercy '03, and while it had fun matches that McMahon one was just weird as fuck. Not a good idea at all.

I still remember seeing Becky at Raw week and promised myself I wouldn't go too far with how hot she looks. Well, this isn't helping matters. So...um...how about that match she had with Sasha at NXT? Wasn't that great?
