I noticed they had American Gladiators and was super excited thinking it was the 80s/90s version. Instead it was the newer one with Hogan and Layla Ali as hosts and I was incredibly disappointed. They also had on Pros vs. Joes. Can't help but wonder why they're on this network. If they needed to fill time just put Miami Vice on there. I'm hoping it was a one-off deal.

Soooooo......a TNA star people give a kinda sorta shit about wins the title, only for some wacky internet thing to occur and he has to vacate it two days later? And the supposed new winner is a guy that's hardly if ever used? As noted many times in Botchamania, JEEEEEEZUUSSSS!!!!!! What in the fuck are they smoking coming up with this shit? Thank goodness for Takeover being two hours, I'm so glad I'll be missing this (not bothering with second hour either)

I was going to say "Nah, got too many shirts." Then I see the selection and think that maybe I'm allergic to money. Too many good shirts to chose from.

So they spend the season trying to get Barry's dad out of jail, he finally is able to and the dad just leaves anyway? No scenes of him hanging around seeing how things are? They couldn't wait another episode or two before that? Very, very strange. In reality Barry should have been really pissed off about that, but instead is cool with it. That said, didn't expect Atom Smasher in the season opener, so was happy to see Edge do this.

I loved the use of Barry Miller. I have a helluva time remembering his name for some reason (had to look it up), but always like when he's in a show. Enjoyed the episode, loved the reunion at the end. It's one of those things where you always felt Fitz and Simmons would be together and at this point all is well. At first I thought they'd tease him getting Simmons only for her to slip away as they pull him back in. I could have gone for more of the portal and them trying a different way to get her. It worked out in the end but they could have gotten more use out of that. But if the portal's done with then hopefully the reformation of Hydra is as awesome as I hope to make up for it.

I heard Cornette's episode one time when Meltzer was on about the TNA/DA situation. Radley was pretty much a parrot to whatever Jim was saying, but I was able to tune her out. Is it her lack of knowledge on wrestling stuff or something else. Maybe it's because I listen to her in small doses I can put up with it more.

Trivia works for me. I'm down with whatever kills time until we find out more about the second season.

I don't care if it's true or not, the story about Ryback trying to impress Brock slayed me. Table for 3 was hilarious. And Bryan can't help but be goofy with the Kumbaya hand holding bit, bless him.

Yeah, Hernandez was the one that fucked up by saying he was done with LU. TNA should have checked on that, but it was initially his fault. Oh, and it looks like Finn made a visit to their HQ...kinda.

Keeping with MLW shows, checked out the VIP Lounge podcast and I enjoyed it a lot. A lot of people hate Alice, but she was absolutely fine in these. I think when it's non-wrestling stuff she fares better in that environment. That and I like MVP so it was an easy choice to listen to these.

Petey, I know you were responding to Tabe, but that is exactly what I needed. Only one I found was at Best Buy and for some unknown reason it was $80. For $12 I can quite easily getting one for each TV so I don't have to keep on switching out the Chromecast and Roku sticks. Thank you, sir!

I can do without the 4 Horsewomen not being in, but only if the movesets and entrances are in for them. I'm sure they'll be plenty of CAWs. Also would be nice if we can add music outside of what's in the game (like the good ol' days, damnit!) If that's all there then cool. But if all of that is not there and we have to try and piece together some semblance of what they do then there's not much sense trying to make do with that.

New Day was so damn awesome in their promo. I loved the Duck Tales reference, and the "At the same time" chant had me in stitches (had to lookup where they got that from) I actually liked Xavier's match. While it lacked certain elements that make for a great match it would make sense for him to just do a bunch of high spots out of desperation. Fun little tag match too. Also enjoyed shiny happy Kane, and nothing wrong with a Seven reference. The way he goes from slightly Demon Kane right back into happy Kane is magical. Didn't hate the turn to full-on Demon Kane either. Really enjoyed the Wyatt-Reigns match near the end and afterwards. That clothesline Wyatt did was wonderfully brutal.

I enjoyed this episode a lot more than last week. Fozzy was gold, and loved the adult themes. It's definitely not fully kid-friendly, but still enjoyable. Loved the Electric Mayhem buying all the cookies because they're stoners. And damn that Gonzo for his unintentional cock-blocking (c'mon, man, it's Lea Thompson!) And yes, Swedish Chef was the star with his two lines, damn we were cracking up at that.

Silent Bob is ridiculously hard to find as well. But we lucked out going to this record store and they said it was the only one they got in. That was one of the first ones we got. Was looking at the Pop Vinyls I have, and I'd still say my favorites by far are the set of Big Lebowski figures. My wife got me that for Christmas and hot damn is it awesome. I need to get around to posting pictures of the ones we have, we have way too damn many.

While that makes sense to have guys like Vega and NOD in there, how would that explain them bringing over Adnan and other relatively useless characters from last year? Sour grapes, but just cut loose on four of those characters and they could have had the room for the 4 Horsewomen. Sorry, can't help but be a little bitter about that still.

In which case I'd still rather she keep the belt. Until they make heads or tails of what in they're doing with the Divas Revolution I would hate to see Bayley be part of that.

Not sure why there's a need for spoilers past this point. I love Becky and would be pleased as punch to see her win the title. But Bayley just won it, after her quest for the title it'd be foolish for her to lose it so soon. Plus she's got that huge following that is hard for many to get, be it NXT or main roster. Maybe at minimum middle next year you can consider getting the belt off her, but I wouldn't do it anytime soon.

That will work in Sara's favor for sure. She does seem like a pretty nice woman, but I hope Bayley's teaching her how to nail the "not smiling when needed" part of the match. The trainers might not be miracle workers, but I think they can make her semi-passable in time. And glad Chelsea is back as a brunette, she looks a ton better with that than as a blonde.

I'm hoping the price isn't that bad, see myself getting a few of those socks.

Was at Baltimore Comiccon and nabbed Sting, Andre and Jay from Jay and Silent Bob. No ridiculous prices either, two at $10 and one at $12. I feel pretty damn good about that. Jay was for whateve reason hard to find before that, and no store had the other two.

The ones they wear on the Table For 3 show were Puma brand, so really all you would need is a sweet New Day patch. Probably end being cheaper for you and I'm sure better made than any tracksuit that you'd get from the Shopzone. On Twitter Xavier keeps linking to Puma's site where they sell the tracksuits. When asked about patches he said they're trying to get those. But it's all good, pretty soon we'll finally be able to get New...Day Socks. Of course it comes at a time I'll be wearing jeans so I can't show them off all the time, but I'll still get them.

I loved the Def Jam games. Not my favorite kind of gameplay, but I had lots of fun playing it. It felt odd that in the second one a lot of them you pretty much won by killing the other guy.

I could see Cena doing this, and it'd likely be for Tecmo Bowl. Years ago he mentioned he was hardcore into it when it came out so that could work. If he wasn't so damn busy it might have been a possibility.

Can I just pay for her to go away? That'd be terrific if we could arrange that. I'm not wishing ill will to her, but if they must have her around just make her a WWE ambassador. Or a valet on a D level show that only shows in random countries. Anywhere but where she is now. There's no heel heat or working the marks, it's just "Get the fuck out of here" heat.
