Should've had Payback this month and ER next month.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I don't understand why people think the Drifter has Go-Away Heat. He's a competent enough wrestler and he's deliberately supposed to be annoying and bad at singing.

I could fill it just with Kane, and I will!
1. Trips going over super face Kane at No Mercy 2002 in the title unification match, I will be forever bitter, also the feud that gave us Katie Vick, my deepest Kane lore tarnished forever!
2. When WWE realised "oh shit we have no heels for Bryan to feud with!" after WM30 and hastily reverted Kane to Demon mode for a feud that ignored their entire tag team history in favour of Brie Bella screaming.
3. Unmasked Kane going to waste immediately after the Shane O Mac feud, some would point to that feud being the immediate killer of Kane in 2003 but really it was everything after that.
4. Bringing back Masked Kane for the first time in years to be immediately fed to Cena in a feud that could have actually teased some interesting angles for Cena but they were never going to happen because he was already set to face Rock at mania 28.
5. MAY 19th!

I don't know, I'm not digging it. I feel like once you bring in "unbeatable" forces it becomes very hard to use them long term once they've lost. At least with how they're using Matanza.
It could just be I'm a little down on this season a bit. Stuff is starting to feel a bit like a slog with usually one high point match each episode instead of balance. Also just not digging the triples tag champion stuff, or marty the moth / mack / sexy star story.
In the words of OSW, BECAUSE IT'S TRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIPPPLLEEEEEEE H

Vs Drifter lol
That match, decision, walkaway, etc. is the one thing where Austin gets Bret Hart-esque.
You're Stone Cold fucking Steve Austin. You can lose that match. It doesn't matter. The match is fine. Austin was a bitch.

I was like, why is there so much Kane in this post then I looked up. It never fails. Ha!
Speaking of Ha! Cornette said he'd love to manage Ziggler, also he called him like the second coming of Mr. Perfect. I need to check his temperature.
I agree if it's the finals or even semi-finals. It's a qualifying match.
Also, the worst at "I'm not losing, breh!" work

Wait, Joe beat Finn at a house show? For the title?
What is this 1996?

So Balor has teased appearing on Raw this week. That's exciting.

Edit: The girl says "He's limping". I can't make that out.

That sounds like fun. Be cool if they got commentary from Raven since he's held the title 27 times. Or something like that, I think even more.
had nothing to do with doing the job
he WASN'T DIGGIN THE CREATIVE, VINCE
giving away that dream match on raw with no build is dumb as fuck. that could have been the wrestlemania main event with a year of build.
Because he's not. He's getting on a bus.
You know steps, small corridor, carying a big bag.
Mark ass marks.
That was my favorite part about the Hardcore Title with the 24/7 rule. You could have so many title changes people held it for 20 + times.
Wikipedia says there were 240 hardcore champions.
240 in an almost 5 year period.
What about Kane debuting impressively and then losing to The Undertaker like 30 times in a row?

Interesting, I need to find this. I feel I'm the last Ziggler mark left.

That's amazing. Did it use to change on house shows? Would be funny seeing the champ on Smackdown then have raw air with someone else having the belt.

Some times, that was the best part of those shows man. As a kid for me especially the randomness was just fun. The title was so over, how could people love a low level title that much. Being the hardcore champion really meant something.
Often, I think they even had multiple title changes in one house show run only to give it back to the guy that had it on the last TV show once.

Wasn't pat Patterson the champ once? Lol. Think he pinned crash while he was taking a nap.
I think Austin had no problem putting over Brock but he felt it should have been bigger than a KOTR qualifier, and he was right.

I know that Bryan winning was a late call and Bryan's health crapped out anyway but this was made for a feud with Bray. Plus Bray going over Cena would've put him to top heel overnight (maybe 2nd to Brock).

I remember when you guys loved Ziggler two years ago.
I honestly think Ziggler has regressed in the last couple of years.
I still love Ziggy.

I did, when he cashed in money in the bank is still one of my favorite wrestling moments ever. But dude is stale as shit and is literally just there now. He needs to reinvent himself for me to be a fan again.

...did you forget that Bryan lost the feud with Bray at Royal Rumble less than 2 months before WM30?

Top five worst booking decisions and no mention of Hogan v Sting at Starcade? Are we just counting WWE? If not I am disappoint.
Exactly, Austin v Brock should've been a PPV headline, they didn't need to give it away on freeish TV. They weren't deserate for ratings like WCW was for stupidly giving away Hogan v Goldberg (which should've been the death knell for the nWo) on Nitro.

First rumored date (June 24th) went on sale at 10am this morning and is sold out.
i still don't get how Sting vs Hogan wasn't a complete blow off squash match to end the nWo for at least 3 months of happy WCW times before the new big bad came around
and why is bischoff always so coy in his interviews as to why they didn't just do the right finish? "well sting didn't show up in the best shape... " "sting's heart wasn't there at the time..."
like he never says "we did it because Hogan didn't want to job clean and get squashed" which we know is likely the case

Sting vs Goldberg would have been amazing at Starcade 98
I remember when you thought Alexa Bliss was the one and not Becky Lynch
