And that concludes objectifying GMs.

Because I still think we're a little burnt out on AJ gifs

I got the presale email and thought about it for a second. But I can't afford a trip to Boston in June. Maybe in the fall WWE will put on another crappy PPV in a 1/2 empty arena in Detroit or Buffalo instead of selling out Toronto again and I'll go to that.

Since we're on the realization that Undertaker's done, here is my favorite Undertaker match

Kurt Angle vs The Undertaker @ No Way Out 2006 According to Kurt, this was the first time Undertaker wanted to end his streak. I believe him, Undertaker seems like a guy who just really wants a 'legit' dude to end it, not an entertainer. Ironic given his gimmick.

I'd love to forget all about AJ's terrible reign as GM. Vince was really shoving her down our throats then. Who's the blonde in that gif that never loads on my phone?

That's why he wanted Brock to end it in the first place. He thought it'd be believable that a legit badass could beat him.

It's sorta like he knew Brock's character was losing steam and thought hey, we got a legit monster right here and you're giving him this chickenshit heel material, why don't I put this guy over and push this big reset button on him.

I don't think so. He's wanted Brock to end it ever since their UFC encounter. I don't think his recent treatment had anything to do with it.

Wrestling machine Kurt is GOAT Kurt. When he looked like a psycho and rocked the mouthpiece. I liked the promo with him and Undertaker where they had Kurt saying that when he enters the ring, he has no soul. But they still kept Kurt slightly goofy because he could never be a total badass like TNA thought. He was badass because he had a goofy edge to him but could fuck your day up.

I wish Kurt didn't waste away his later years in TNA. It really fucking sucks, and it's too late now for him to come back and have the amazing matches he could have had.

So Bryan had the higest drawing segments on Monday, but that is to be assumed. But the second highest rated segment? Paige and AJ! Kind of surprised, but super happy about it.

Honestly, Undertaker losing the streak is probably the best thing that could possibly happen to wrestling in a long time.

It brings back that kind of unpredictability "anything can happen in the WWE" factor that's been missing for a long time.

Pretty much. WWE has played it fairly safe a lot recently. We all know CENAWINSLOL, Taker never loses at Wrestlemania, etc. So it was pretty...amazing that Taker actually lost.

To be fair, the streak wasn't that big of a deal back then. The first time it got any real focus was at Wrestlemania 21, and it only started becoming a real big deal after that match with Batista at Wrestlemania 23. It seems a bit random to just want to end it in 2006.

Being there live though, Undertaker and Lesnar was just random. Boring, anti-climactic, and an ending that was not expected at all. I just kind of laughed at what happened.

Oh, and Triple H is really over. He got a big pop and a bunch of chants. I was surprised since I thought the fans would be nuthugging Bryan in full force. Obviously 'Dat Game' was too much. He was in great shape and pulled out a great match.

Also, Bryan is the new Cena. So much Superman in one night. I've never seen someone put over so much in one night. It was crazy.

NWO 2006 was a very good show, I kinda forgot til I looked back on the card. But I remember this was the last great match Angle had in the WWE, with the black and the mouthpiece and shit.

Tell that to Taker. He reportedly wanted to lose to Mark Henry that year.

Those tickets cost thousands of dollars. The company is just gonna go "oh, lets give them away for free because fuck it, we hate money and the crowd won't be nearly shocked enough by Lesnar winning to get our cool reaction shot" because WWE hates money?

You can put plants all the way up in the rafters as long as you know where to point the camera you're good.

My friends dad had a working relationship with the WWE and whenever he got comped tickets it was always front row. No way Brock guy isn't a plant.

the losing streak thing also fits with ushering the new era, (john cena is still part of this new era more so than guys like taker will be).

it also means future wrestlemania's wont have this streak thing taking a big priority and being a major highlight, it is now up to the younger/other wrestlers to make a moment instead.

Raw Quarter hours for the one after WrestleMania and Daniel Bryan did it again:

Q1: Raw opened with a regular-show-high 2.70 rating for the immediate WM30 follow-up and Daniel Bryan's celebration. Noteworthy is the quarter-hour grew substantially from the beginning to end. So, it was not a case of a huge surge at 8:00 p.m. EST for immediate follow-up on The Streak ending, then viewers tuning out.

Over-run: Raw popped a 2.91 rating for the teased Bryan vs. Hunter title match that turned into an angle setting up Bryan & Shield vs. The Authority, Batista, and Orton.

Other Big Numbers:

Q11: Raw increased to a 2.64 rating for Hogan congratulating Cesaro, the Real Americans breaking up, Cesaro aligning with Paul Heyman, one commercial, and Cesaro vs. Jack Swagger
Click to expand...

Q5: Raw jumped to a 2.58 rating at the top of the second hour for Heyman's promo and viewers thinking perhaps Taker would make an appearance.
Click to expand...

Q3: Raw increased to a 2.53 rating for The Wyatts vs. John Cena, Big E., and Sheamus, plus one commercial. The end of the match drew a solid audience, peaking with 1.809 million viewers at 8:42 p.m.

The winners of a got some bads news for you:

- Q6: Raw dropped to a 2.22 rating for The Usos vs. Randy Orton & Batista, one commercial, and Rob Van Dam's unannounced TV return. The peak audience was 1.634 million viewers at 9:22 when Raw cut to break following the tag match.
