How the fuck do people not realize the thing with Bryan being a cheater was made up so Steph could provoke Brie into hitting someone and getting arrested? Especially since they've said multiple times on TV that the trainer was paid off to say that.

Dunno why but this gif always makes me lol
I fuckin hate that guy XD

It pains me that this is true and is the reason we will never get one bit of nuance in a story line.
I bet Bryan was cheating before the neck injury, and YHWH himself gave Bryan the injury as punishment. And then Bryan threw it back in YHWH's face by banging the trainer as well. Bryan is truly a goat headed beast.
That's my favorite Shin Megami Tensei synopsis.

Well how else do you explain Bryan's music "...not getting a great pop"?
Wrestling is so damn good right now.
WWE has Brock as champ, an interesting Intercontinental feud, the Rollins/Ambrose feud, and I expect Jericho/Wyatt to find another gear.
TNA has been on fire from a TV product perspective all summer long, and they've delivered four very memorable TV bouts so far. (Lashley/Hardy, Lashley/Aries, Wolves/Hardys, 3D/Hardys)
ROH has been great since the start of 2014. And their last TV episode was off the hook spectacular.
Chikara is awesome, and they're going into King of Trios.
NJPW just finished a great G1 Tournament.
PWG's BOLA lineup looks reeeediculous.
Just tons of really damn good stuff.

My bench sucks. It's always sucked. Separated AC joint I never fixed. But I keep trying. Or maybe I'm just a pussy? Stupid long arms...

“Wait. You are actually lifting weights? Working out?” Always do. Just don't do do steeeeeeeeeroids. Also, blocked.

Kind of off topic, but I was re-watching A Clockwork Orange the other night and the battle in the theater is full of wrestling moves. Dropkick, chair shots, dive off the top "rope." It's great. I'd love to see some one to one gifs or something comparing the scene with wrestling.

When I read that first sentence, I thought he was talking about Super Card.
Bean, you have a problem. We're here to help you get through this.

I'm actually doing a bit better now because I'm not in a King of the Ring tournament that requires attention every 40 minutes, 24 hours a day, for 2 days.

CM Punk quit in the middle of his King of the Ring tournament.
Yoooo, what a callback.

Just throw people in there and forget it. I'm only checking my KOTR twice a day and I'm still qualifying because everyone seems to be looking for the consolation prize.

I'm waiting until I qualify for the Ultra Rare tier.

That shit is ridiculous. I didn't know the stamina decreased so rapidly so I thought I could get away with, you know, sleeping and I got 9 losses because of it. Still managed to get in second place!

9pm: 4.330
10pm: 3.972
Avg: 4.194
Down from last week and down 104, 000 compared to last year. When Lesnar appeared had the highest viewership. Sucks the third hour was down. It was an awesome match plus the viewership got a hit from the Johnny Manziel hype train.

Can you make some sense of these ratings, bean breath?
That's truly the hottest news item of the month.

And the peak for Lesnar is the usual peak hour of Raw, and it wasn't higher rated than last week.

Best of G1 Climax 2014 FINALS
Wrestling wise, NJPW is no doubt the best company in the world. WWE has a lot of good wrestlers and has quite a bit of good-great quality stuff on a regular basis, but they aren't doing what NJPW is doing in the ring. And I don't know if they can, considering how different the business models are. Eagerly awaiting AJ vs Nak and AJ vs Shibata sometime hopefully soon. I also kind of want to see something like Jeff Jarrett vs Shibata.

Flop Lesnar continues to flop.
It's time to call in The Rock. I'm sure they can get a few weeks out of an actual huge star before he injures himself and has to leave.
How is he a flop when his hour got the highest viewership?
Surprised at that rating. You think Lesnar completely obliterating Cena at Summerslam would've drawn a couple of thousand. That rating is no different than the ones for the last few weeks for the most part, lol. Though to be fair Lesnar beating Taker was the bigger story in his career than this.
Ambrose is going to be money if WWE keeps him strong and keeps his momentum going. Dude is willing to do any type of work for the company including starring in shitty movies for one, can cut a fantastic promo, can work with pretty much anyone. He's expressive, explosive, and the fans are behind him. If WWE plays their cards right they can create an even bigger star out of Ambrose than Daniel Bryan or CM Punk. On the other hand if they keep exposing Reigns weaknesses I don't see that panning out too well for him.
The only thing that'll hold back Ambrose in the eyes of marks (ahem...fans) is that I don't think Ambrose is the type of guy who cares if he has the belt or not. So Ambrose could be one of those Roddy Piper-type talents that draws a lot of money without winning the World belt despite challenging for it many times.

Because for someone who is supposed to be a huge attraction, he's changing nothing. It's just business as usual.
Now imagine if he wasn't there. I'd say he pulled the company out of a nosedive.
Are you possibly saying, that last week...Ho Kogan shoved the control into a nosedive?
That outcome was predetermined, brother.

WWE should replace the tag titles with 6 man tag titles . It's the most consistent match they put on .

Be ready for him to be stripped of his character once he goes for the big belt. He'll start cutting sarcastic jokey promos and constantly pander to his Am-bros in no time at all.

And they have Crazy Pride Lady as their big event ring announcer. They're doing everything right.
From what I hear it's not her.
Fuck I can't believe I forgot to mention her unreal intro for AJ. Metal singers from the 80s wish they could hit that high note.
