Smackdown was fantastic. AJ & Heath Slater as show long focusses? Becky as the true Ace? Ambrose just not caring to egg on critics? Mauro? Talking Smack?

The list goes on.

What is Gimli/John Rhys-Davies doing in that shot?

He was Irish Terry Conklin's trainer. It's from a movie, the Great White Hype. Story about how a promotion can build a guy into a credible threat even though he isn't one. Yknow, like they're trying to with Punk.

Sometimes, you need to ease up on the truth Vince. It's not cool.

Without the magic of camera angles, Vin will need five inch risers in his boots to look only partially ridiculous standing next to Rocky.

I think the way they are presenting Punk is interesting. Like him or not this whole story is interesting.

He is a guy with zero experience that is going to give it a try in the biggest stage possible. They aren't hiding the fact he is green as hell. Of course the doc will probably conclude with him improving, because well he has to improve a bit at least! But I doubt they will paint him as a great threat. We will see.

I have heard great things about Suzuki,but haven't gotten the chance to see any of his matches? Any recommendations?

Suzuki vs AJ Styles, 2014 or 2015, can't remember the year. G1 match. Amazing.

i wonder how they would though. this angle has been playing out with the miz since the draft but i figured it wasn't really gonna go anywhere, just maybe that bryan would get involved and stop miz from cheating at some point.

i guess they could still go that way.

you think they'd ever let bryan have one more, or a couple more matches on a super part time basis a bit down the line?

Every year we devote four measly months to the Big Sexy in the Sky. Nashtember, Nashtober, Nashvember (the original Diesel Powered month) and Nashcember.

Who would Bryan bring in that could restore honor to the IC title, really elevate it and push Miz out of his safe comfort zone?

I look at it this way. The WWE had two failing mid card belts. They decided to simultaneously juice both of them up by putting them on main event caliber talent. One failed, the other succeed beyond anyone's dream.

The one who failed was Daniel Bryan.

The one who succeeded was John Cena.

I know they won't turn Bryan heel but him giving Miz harder and harder opponents because his feelings are hurt would be fun. As a wrestler he's completely done though.

I have unshaken optimism for the SD writing team right now.

Though the last time I had this much optimism for a writing team, Kevin Nash showed up.

Cena didn't succeed long term. The second Cena lost that title it became worthless. They've only recently started to somewhat dig the US title out of the hole Del Rio and Kallisto made.

I mean, yeah.

Even if Bryan didn't get injured it would have been that way. Cena got the open challenge gimmick and Bryan was tasked with putting a returning Sheamus over. You tell me which one was destined for success.
