It's Adam Cole.

Nooooo. Cole is needed in ROH. He's exceptional in his role, and he was the best of the three heel champions when we had Cole, Magnus, and Orton running point in each of their respective companies.

The structure of the WWE in terms of narrative is really strange to me. Just bizarre things like apparently having the commentators being instructed NOT to emote strongly during impressive sequences, to be quiet and stay out of the way of the match - that just hampers one of their key storytelling devices.

Also, it seems like the entire midcard is just randomly kinda thrown up against each other. You've got a few guys like Cesaro who is on the way up, and The Shield who probably are, too, but then you've got all this kinda anonymous chaos and no real competition around the IC and US title belts. Where are all the storylines? Raw is 3 hours long now and it just feels like there isn't that much going on outside of the main championship storyline and the feuds surrounding that.

It's weird. The WWE feels kinda small.

It must be difficult to keep things interesting 365 days a year. A 2-month off-season would do wonders for WWE storylines. But that would mean less revenue, which means they won't do it.

If Devitt fucks up his chance to even consider TNA, I get to laugh at all you Devitt marks for all of 2014.

There's just no way any wrestler would choose TNA over even NXT unless it pays really well and we all know TNA doesn't have a single cent.

I can only imagine Double J has made a play for Devitt for a shit ton of Tony Keith's money.

There's nothing wrong with that picture at all. You guys don't realize how big Zubaz was in the early 90s.

So...Global Force Wrestling apparently has a roster of over 500 workers already. Curious to see how this will all look in the end. The Biggest Loser guy says it won't be "match after match," but will feature more reality TV elements. Could be interesting for storytelling.

Best backstage segments. In that, they actually have them.

They don't actually have 500 on the roster, but they have access to 500 to use and/or sign to deals. And TNA's backstage segments would be better if heels and faces weren't just chilling around together in the background. And that Bully/Gunner segment last night was just awful.

I think I'm going to have more salsa and another beer. Undecided on what to watch on the Network. I've been mostly trying to go in a mostly chronological order. I'm up to Starrcade 1993 and Survivor Series 1993 for PPVs, September 1993 for Raws, early 1994 for ECW. NXT looks like garbage this week. I've seen all the other original programming besides Legends House. I think I'm somewhere in the middle of 1999 for ECW PPVs.

Why is she gone? :( :( :(

And I'm really curious to see the GFW product. I'd be cool with a show that builds characters through talking head segments, has them do gym or empty arena matches, and builds towards live PPVs.

Bret had lots of road sex with women who weren't his g/f or wife. He even had a nuru massage while in Japan. (Japanese woman soaps herself up and, in the words of Bret in his book, "washes you with her pussy.")

I was actually a little sad to read those parts of the book since they tarnished my innocent childhood image of Bret.

You mean to tell me Bret 'boner scale' Hart is a huge fucking perv? I don't believe you.

When he was around 20, he also punched and ran away from a guy who potentially could have raped him. The guy showed Bret a gay porn mag and asked if he liked what he saw while touching his leg or something like that.

With her family it is hardly news she celebrates Good Friday. I bet she believes in creationism as well.

Unlike the WWE they have no concerns over extra floor space for tickets so they should do all of the double and triple ring events WCW used to do.

Imagine the entire TNA roster in a World War 3!

I know in his heart of hearts, the King of Kings wants nothing more in life than to have a full on War Games and bleed the entire time.

Nitpicking the Network.
There should be a way to see what something is before clicking on it; like, there are all these wrestlemania fallouts and no way to see which deals with what.

Triple H will get War Games back one day. Did you see his office?

The second Vince dies, you will think NWA was back from the dead.
