If WWE said she didn't post it and it's true, then that shouldn't be held against Jasmin. Now being friends with Zahra, that should be. But then again, would it make a difference if Zahra was friends with other people? Should they be looked at differently as well? It's that whole guilty by association thing, and unless she shared racist beliefs with Zahra I wouldn't worry too much about Jasmin.

Nothing cheers me up after a rough start to the work day quite like finding out about Bayley/Sasha main eventing with an iron man match. I'm super excited for this. And I'm very interested in seeing Asuka's debut. Wonder if she'll got the face paint route for the special or not. And hey, imagine her and Finn teaming up for a special down the road. That would be interesting to see.

Oh, for fuck's sake. Just pull the plug on this and be done with it, DA.

Oh, right, almost forgot about the crowd. Never would have pictured Providence to have enough people that cared, but you can definitely tell there were those that knew. Saw a good amount of people going with Balor's entrance and even the Too Sweet hand gesture. There also seemed to be a good reaction to Joe as well.

Heel techniques or not, Balor looked like a big-time star. As far as star power goes he can be called up right now and fit in like a glove. And Joe looked great out there, would love for him be called up. He could always do occasional matches in NXT, but he's got so many quality opponents on the main roster. And he's not old but if you're going to call him up now's the time to do it. Thinking about what's on the horizon you have Sami and Itami returning whenever they're cleared. So for indy guys that leaves them with Balor, Joe, Crews and if signed Gargano and Ciampa. Ciampa is the lesser of those five but can go when needed. If they're running with it you'll have Balor against Itami. So for Sami he wouldn't have Owens to go against, he'd be back to going for the title. That sounds like a pretty good late 2015/2016 to me. Even if Balor and/or Joe get called up they NXT will still be in good shape. Add on guys like Breeze and they'll be just fine.

Holy fuck that sharpshooter is awful. If Bret cared it wouldn't hurt for him to ask them "WTF is this?" They really couldn't do another version of the sharpshooter aside from how Sting and Rock used it? That's unbelievably lazy.

I'm loving everything about the New Day/Team Bad collaboration. I'd be happy as a clam if they teamed up. It's pretty neat to think about the transition from the Attitude Era to what it is now. It seems the best people to watch are a bunch of nerds and it makes for fantastic times. Oh, and Sasha got in on UpUpDownDown and it's great.

I imagine your avatar saying that. Much like a Yano gif that made the post so much better.

That is tremendous. Sasha with them is fantastic as well.

Cristobal, please make these lessons a weekly thing. They're awesome and quite true.

I learned the hard way last night, do not watch these before going to bed. Took a bit longer than normal to fall asleep because I was thinking back to the crazy shit I saw in that trailer. I'm super excited to get these DVDs.

If that's true about the Hogan story, man that is a special kind of dumb. Just for clarification, when does Impact stop airing? I want to know so I can mark my calendar.

Casey, I was there live and can verify that no they did not chant "This is awful". Yes, they did chant "This is awesome". And I like Rollins a lot, he's doing some fine chickenshit heel work. But these fucking 20 minute promos are godawful. Was checking the watch and couldn't wait for it to finish. I remember hearing Sheamus and was happy at first thinking it would go to his match. Instead it went to more talking.

If I knew this was going to feature the Bellas and Eva as much as they did, I'd say screw this episode and check Dailymotion tomorrow. But the only reason I didn't was Renee Young. I mean this so much, if they replaced any of the useless women (Eva, Nikki, etc.) with Renee I'd be a super happy man. Dean said in a recent interview that she's too good for him. Looking at Renee I think he might be onto something, but it sounds like they're a helluva couple. Still, much more Renee please. And Kendrick should be travelling with Eva everytime she wrestles. She looked dare I say it decent in those clips and it's perplexing how that doesn't translate to the matches. But there's enough Eva hate going on around here. As much as I'm line with that mindset I'm not going to waste my time discussing her.

If they do sign that deal for England, would anybody care to watch? I can hardly stomach the show as it is so I wouldn't mind just passing on it. I'm already having lovely thoughts of just watching NXT and freeing up the rest of my night. I can see England loving it for the first couple months, but will it still be that way for the long haul?

That spoiler has a lot of....bounce It's strangely hypnotic. I'll say. Adam Rose and the bunny can't take their eyes of her. I think they were repeatedly thinking "Know who you're looking at, do not look down. Whatever you do, man, DO. NOT. LOOK. DOWN!!!!"

Didn't have Labor Day plans so got a floor seat to the show. Maybe I never noticed before, but the show flew by. The only time it didn't was Seth's promo and Orton/Sheamus (hmm...wonder why...) Was really hoping to see Owens, kind of insane he wasn't booked at all aside from the backstage bit. And it seemed like some of the main people weren't out long at all. Roman/Dean's match and Dudleys were out there for an absurdly short time and it didn't lead to much of anything. Despite that I had a lot of fun. I was fortunate to be around people who loved Sasha and had no problem rooting for her. Didn't see the fan jump the rail, but it's alarming how easy it is for fans lately to do stuff like that. New Day was insanely over, can't stress enough how much they loved the stomp sequence. I took a video of the part where Big E threw Kofi at the end of that, need to put it up here somehow. And I felt like the only one who freaked out over the FF song, but man was that top notch. If he's able to really put himself out there in the gaming community I think the occasional video game reference will do some good for him. If they want to attract all kinds of viewers like they did for Stardust/Amell this could be a worthwhile effort. After the show people gathered to see the wrestlers leave from the garage and hope for a photo. I live close by so stuck around for a bit. Everybody pretty much had to get out of there so it was mainly people calling them out with little more than a wave. Kind of weird, but that's how it goes. Have to say that between seeing her during and after the show, hot damn is Becky smokin' hot in person. The only person who took pictures was Lillian. She had time to kill so she did a Periscope video and took selfies with whoever wanted one. She was an absolute sweetheart during all of that so that was cool.

She really should have just started as a valet. Have her train and all, and occasionally have her do a couple moves. Once she's good enough then she could be a wrestler. But it was a huge mistake having her be a wrestler without knowing a damn thing about what she's doing. And I like Kendrick, but he's no miracle worker.

Pete, that picture is straight up adorable. Hey, you know what kind of got lost in all this talk about that Wyatt dude? The gloriousness that is Xavier's straightened out hair. It looked amazing.

So going back to Snuka, if you subscribe to WO I highly encourage you to read the newsletter on Snuka. This is by no means an isolated incident when it comes to Snuka beating up women. He did that with his ex-wife as well. He's 70 with a recoverable cancer, fine. But that doesn't hide the fact that he is one ginormous piece of shit. It also answered my question of who knew about the incident 32 years ago and what the reaction was. Sadly, aside from some people at one show there was nothing much to it.

Her acting is suspect, but she had real tears going so there is that. She tried. Everybody needs to watch SD for New Day's commentary. They were absolutely hilarious and on top of that proved they know more than Rich. At one point he incorrectly called a move a German suplex. He was promptly corrected by Xavier saying it was a back suplex. I loved that. And the main event was all kinds of fun.

It's Pentagon, Jr. If I could get away with it I'd lie my ass off and say I got it from him. I like my arm, don't feel like having it broken.

The Polish Hammer is so basic and with the wrong guy can be super lame. But if he makes it look all kinds of hurty (without actually killing anybody) I think Bob Studebaker could make that work for him.

There was a lot of stupid shit going on. All of the invasion parts were terrible. I normally either fall asleep or have so much apathy towards this, but for whatever reason I was really annoyed by most of the show. What a dumb idea doing the tag title switch and conveniently send the KOTM title back to TNA. And no explanation about BP reuniting, with no signs of one coming. Would a bit of initial distrust from Velvet hurt them in this reunion? Even the main event, while good, had stupid booking behind it. For crying out loud, Jeff, at least flip him off while raising his hand or something. Instead he let himself get punked out like that. I think the worst offender of all is Bram on TV and winning. They can play the short notice card all they want, but there's a thing called editing. You mean to tell me they couldn't cut off Kenny's promo before he does the open challenge? To fill the time air some backstage stuff or something. There's ways they could have made it work. Yes, that might be asking too much to do in three days so if I'm sounding irrational then so be it. In short, fuck TNA, just please die a thousand deaths.

That elevated choke/sleeper should just be the finisher for Beef Souvlaki, or a bear hug. For obvious reasons I love your take on the name. Bravo, sir.
