Man, watching the guys who were once in the main event (Sheamus, Ryback) try to muster excitement about the Andre the Giant battle royal is pitiful. The sadness is palpable.

I hear the same guy I hear on NXT: A douche bag who says stuff he thinks is super clever, but is usually stupid and regularly points out the most negative things he can. Like tonight, instead of playing up the "Taker is getting older, does he still have what it takes", his way to say it was "His wheels are really coming off and he doesn't look as good anymore".

I agree it's the same Riley, but that Riley shouldn't be doing it on a commentary table, it fits on a preshow-style roundtable like this. Definitely not when it's commentary.

I feel bad for the Divas. They get so much caked on them and the HD makes their skin look terrible because of it.

I feel the same way about Okerlund. If you look at the base of his neck it's enough to make you cry.

So not worth it
I just have a lot of trouble taking Riley seriously as an expert, I can literally only remember one match he he had, against The Miz. And when I say remember, I mean I know that match happened and that's it. That guy, in my mind, knows less about wrestling than most of us do and they present him as an expert. I can't, I just can't.

I really liked the slap exchange where Melissa immediately regretted the sequence and started to guard herself because Lufisto was working so stiff. Shame about the ending of the match though; it was fine but I'd much rather have seen it end with a big spot.

Oh well, back to being annoyed that the WWE network isn't up in the UK yet.

That's why he has a script. Jesus Christ Aiii remove the thorned branch from your bumhole.

Alexa is apparently being trained to be a high flier. She was a gymnast and is even shorter than AJ so makes sense.

That sounds great, I wonder who trains rookie high fliers though? Is there a specialist trainer or do they just get Neville, Zayn & Kalisto to help out?

Damn man, but you speak the truth. I don't even like his way of asking questions. I think if Tensai or Booker ask it, then the situation is different...but Alex? Get the fuck out.

How can you like this guy? How? How Sunny?

Is this a gimmick like the TNA marks, what is going on? What is your agenda?

No need to get hot about it Aiii. I like him in an analyst role. I watch real sports (not cricket or kitchen-sweeping or kick a ball) and he sounds like people do when they're on those shows. That's what they want him to do and that's how he sounds to me. Just like any throwaway dude on ESPN USA.

That's part of it. Dude was Miz's sidekick and then a full on jobber. And only really wrestled for about 2 years anyway. There is no reason to take him seriously. My major problem is he says all this stupid shit thinking he's super clever and almost always seemingly goes out of his way to say bad things about people. He just comes off as a real douche bag to me. And he constantly flip flops on if he's going to be heel or face.

I just find him to be really unlikable and often working against the point of the panel or match.


Poor Ryback. He looked so bummed.

They have a ring designed for teaching flying, its mat is super padded, so that's what they teach you on. I expect some of the trainers would know how to teach the high flying even if they aren't able to do it.

So the red carpet is not a red carpet event as expected, it's the Hall of Fame stage but with some carpet in front of it.
