So, Paige gets stripped of NXT Title because "it's not fair to the NXT girls if the NXT champion travels around the world with their belt" and up next

Spoiler

Natalya

fights for the championship on the next Special Live Event™?

...

I kinda feel the fans should turn on her and new #1 contender

Spoiler

Tyson

, because this smells like some

Total Divas shilling

instead of training the next generation of talent. But I'd feel bad for the guy, he's been there so long and kind of deserves his moment in the spotlight.

 

[Jamie OD]

Anyone else catch the Adam Rose party singing "World Goes Wild"? Did WWE work something out with Above Envy?

The episode was taped before they changed the song.

 

[Marvel]

It's party time, all the time!

 

[Xater]

All of them would be greatly improved without anything on the back.

 

[DMczaf]

I need to catch up on Total Divas

 

[Aiii]

You see TJ is really happy the special place wasn't his asshole.

 

[Marvel]

I need that Adam Rose T.

It's weird just how un-sexy Nattie has become to me now I know how she behaves.

 

[strobogo]

TJ seems like a broken man who wants nothing more than to be the fuck away from his wife.

After seeing him try his best to look like someone who is happy on NXT, I say he should just vanish, leave a note behind, grab some cash, go somewhere else and start over.

TJ Wilson on a pole match in TNA.

 

[strobogo]

Lambada, can you explain to me why the lariato is not used in MMA? Seems like a total valid strike when dudes are doing Mongolian chops.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Just went to the WWE site, and this is the first time I've seen THIS logo:

 

[Serpentine]

god damn, my man Oliver Grey jobbed to a samoan drop from Camacho in his return match. I guess there AREN'T any plans for this one!

 

[strobogo]

Fuckin Luda and his fighting spirit!

TJ Wilson on a pole match in TNA.

 

[Hasney]

Would that pole be in an interesting place?

 

[Serpentine]

CJ Parker selling for The Great Khali was more fun to watch than it had any right to be

and holy shit, there's a second tag team in NXT now

double holy shit, Tye Dillinger and Jason Jordan vs. Sawyer Fulton and Baron Corbin (seriously, these fucking names) was a pretty fun match

 

[Sblargh]

Suddenly, I'm laughing alone just thinking of Total Divas.
Goddamn, this show wants us to believe that Natalya had amazing sex one night and then in the following, she was extra good on the ring, with the rest of the divas watching and going "wow, she is really good".

Just the notion that this is done in a reality show is too much. This is the peak of entertainment, I don't know where we will go from here.

Blatantly scripting a reality show is so pro wrestling.

 

[Hasney]

To be fair, it's not doing anything different to any other reality show really.

 

[Aiii]

Was about to say, can hardly fault Total Divas for that.

 

[Vylash]

"i'm not wearing any underwear...and i'm ready to ride"

 

[Sblargh]

Well, I'll say that I don't watch any reality shows, so I don't really know, but damn, if the genre is always like that, wrasslin' should have milked that cow sooner.

I mean, I enjoyed in a worked shoot kind of way, with backstage drama and whatnot; but after that Natalya nose slap whatever episode where people dug into the timeline of the matches and it made no sense at all, it just started to click with me on a whole new level. It's just telling lies right to our faces, I love it.

 

[Hasney]

"i'm not wearing any underwear...and i'm ready to ride"

I think the most unscripted thing I've seen in the show is Steph desperately trying not to corpse during that.

Corey Graves has 2 things going for him:
1. He looks really good
2. He's not in TNA

 

[Serpentine]

the Neville/MEP match from last week was highly watchable for a Brodus match

 

[strobogo]

Corey Graves has 2 things going for him:
1. He looks really good
2. He's not in TNA

Corey Graves has 2 things going against him:

1. He has no charisma
2. He is boring in the ring

 

[Sblargh]

Today's match he did some nice submissions and he works well with the ascension, i.e., him escaping the ring to tap one of them is a cool little gimmick to have along with the overconfident violent dudes.

It's like, he is being an asshole and he gets away with it because those two guys are enabling it for their own sadistic purposes. It was a really neat heelish set of things going on there.

 

[cr_blah_blah]

I like his mannerisms, that dude can lean well.
My list is now 3:

1. He looks really good
2. He's not in TNA
3. He can lean like a motherfucker

 

[Serpentine]

At least he's improved. He used to just chop block the thigh and try to pass it off as "working the leg." The fact that he looks like a douche makes him hateable in a good way. and i think he's put on some muscle. We'll see how he carries himself when he's not feuding with the best guy in NXT

 

[blackaroni]

 

[Marvel]

Cory has nice hair, that's it. All I can think of.

 

[cr_blah_blah]

I never knew aging terribly was a gene that could be passed on, but the Flairs have it in spades.

 

[alstein]

Bobcats gotta step up their game and invite the Nature Boy Thursday night.

The last time a Charlotte sports team invited Flair he turned heel on them.

 

[Serpentine]

Another positive i can give him is that his current look is the best look he's ever had, and probably the least douchey

No wonder Sunny likes him, look at that soul patch

 

[cr_blah_blah]

I'd watch a Starship Troopers remake if he was cast as Johnny. There's another thing.

1. He looks really good
2. He's not in TNA
3. He can lean like a motherfucker
4. Johnny Rico potential

 

[Marvel]

Soul patches are awesome, just so we're clear.

 

[cr_blah_blah]

Soul patches are awesome for heels because if you have one, you're automatically somebody people hate. Because they're terrible. Cheap heat.

 

[lovely ladies]

So he's gonna follow form and give a speech to the Heat, isn't he...

So basically we all like Corey Graves until he steps inside of the ring? "He leans like a motherfucker" is the best worst compliment ever!

"I mean, he may suck as a wrestler, but he sure can lean."
"I hate Corey Graves." "Yeah, but did you see that lean?"

Soul patches are awesome, just so we're clear.

They are not and they never were.

 

[Professor Beef]

Soul patches are awesome, just so we're clear.

Soul patches are as bad as tank controls.

Hey man, sometimes he leans in the corner after doing whatever he's doing in the ring. I think that's rad too. I'd watch Corey Graves lean around looking like that guy from Infamous over anything Bo.

 

[Marvel]

They are not and they never were.

I cannot deal with the fact that people are defending soul patches as acceptable in 2014

Spoiler

And yet skinny jeans are not okay

 

[cr_blah_blah]

There's only 2 souls I care for:

1. Playa
2. De La

Were they ever really acceptable though?

Antonio Inoki's jaw is truly majestic. The jaw line of the gods.


Also, I don't think I've ever seen someone so mentally checked out of his job as Jesse at BATB94. Fucking Hogan.

Aiden looks like a CAW Cesaro.
