Maybe the Cara outfit is cursed. Was it sewn on an Indian burial ground? And will anyone notice Del Rio's gone, or will he be like Sheamus?

So, Canadian Netflix has the GLOW documentary available for streaming now. Is it any good?

It was Edge after facing Val, and it was goofy because Edge was like "You were the better man, but you won't be the best man... because that will be Christian". And it was because Edge married Val's sister IRL. If I remember correctly, after the Edge/Lita/Hardy story first started breaking, there was a Venis/Edge match on Raw, and while they didn't mention it at all it definitely gave it another dimension.

Kane? I mean, he only (re)unmasked a few weeks ago. Abyss. Rellik (that's Killer spelled backwards!) Shark Boy. Super Eric. Curry Man. Suicide. Hurricane.

So, Raw this week did terrible numbers and it was a steady attrition of viewers over the course of the show. BUT BUT BUT JOHN CENA and RANDY ORTON ARE PROVEN DRAWS GUYS! Numbers tell us nothing.

So, clearly, Wade Barrett should be the Face of the WWE. I know that's a joke, but even with better-than-usual DVD sales, Dead Man Down still lost a ton when all is said and done. Film cost $30 million, millions more in marketing and totally flopped in theaters. It would have to have been a Dredd-sized hit to make back it's money, and it hasn't been. Maybe with TV rights, rentals and Netflix it could possibly break even, but I don't know. But to be fair, that wasn't WWE money.

So, clearly, Wade Barrett should be the Face of the WWE.

Sean Stasiak, inept ninja? Yeah. It predated the Planet Stasiak gimmick, I believe. It's pretty much the best thing Stasiak ever did.

I remember I got the PPV where Orton and Cena had an I Quit match. He was so bland that day, I legitimately thought they were going to do an "Orton doped himself up on pain killers so he wouldn't submit" angle for the match. Orton has his moments - but oddly, no one seems to agree on what they are. Personally, I prefer "doesn't give a fuck" mid-card Orton who sticks his tongue out and does jumping splits to "heel psycho" main event Orton.

This couldn't have come at a better time than after Smelly McUgly's post about Johnny Gargano.

I think getting off the gas did it.

He really hasn't. Can't find a picture, though.

Hey now, this is ECW we're talking about, not Toronto City Hall.

Edge, no?

Well, they've not been presenting them as live, have they? I mean, WWE has been known to post spoilers about Smackdown on their own website on occasion. Everyone knows this stuff is taped.

Team Philly: Take your pick from Raven, Sandman, Kidman, Nasty Boys, Steve Blackman, Mike Quackenbush, Stevie Richards, Snitsky, Chief Jay Strongbow... Team Pittsburgh: Kurt Angle, Shane Douglas, Sylvester Terkay, Bruno Sammartino... Jenna Morasca? And y'all are sleeping on Team Samoa.

The 3 Horsemen? The 3 Man Power Trip? 3generation X? Triple Triple H?

Mandatory Pitbull comment coming in 3...2...1.... When I first read the recap online, I was legitimately confused about why Flo-Rida had changed his gimmick.

The thing is, if the guy doesn't take it right and takes it on his knees, a) it looks like crap, and it's probably hard on the knees. And wasn't Bobby Lashley using it, or am I imagining things?

No, a group of casual fans are splitting that $50 bucks 3 or 4 ways with the one "hard core spend money on every PPV fan to watch" Or hitting the bar to watch because it happens to be on there... That second one doesn't put any money into the WWE's coffers. Hence why they would occasionally try to shut that sort of thing down back in the old days.

Just imagine if it was Cena/Orton and Big Show/Del Rio. At least Show/Orton hasn't been done to death trying to build up an Austin/Rock or Michaels/Bret rivalry that doesn't exist.

That right there is millennial WCW in a nutshell.

Appearances by the Honky Tonk Man, Mickie James, and Jimmie Wang Yang, a Smoking Gunns reunion, and 3MB covers the West Texas Rednecks' "Rap Is Crap". Bunkhouse Buck returns as Papa Swagger and interacts with Zeb Coulter. Papa Swagger better be a working some Voodoo for his boy.

I have to think JBL meant Danny Bonaduce.

That reminds me - Cesaro and Ryback have both had trouble doing their signature spots on Tensai. Is it just the way he's shaped, or do you think he's been sandbagging folks?
