Stranger Things was slightly better.

Yeah its on the list, the infinite list. Right alongside my 90s AJPW rewatch which totally stalled out.
So Gabe did a great job, got burnt out and left then Cornette came in and fucked it all up? I've always heard people say Cornette stalled the promotion for a year+ but nobody ever explains why.
He can skip all that if he's related to The Rock right?
I hate you so much right now

I would like to know too.
I put my sweat, blood, and tears for this company. Wrestle with a broken arm and leg for the past few weeks yet YOUR doctors is telling me just put super glue on it and I'm fine. The crowd popped and has been cheering "Ani-mal Cross-ing, Ani-mal Cross-ing" when I showed up. Where's my title shot?

yeah but you're only 5'11", while others are 6'5"+ so shut your mouth and WELCOME TO THE BIG LEAGUES KID
That's like 6'6" if you use WWE's measurement though.
Maybe we should form a tag team, we could call ourselves The Pikmen Nooks, have the writers do their job for once and write a 32 week long build for our debut
Kinda like the new Smackdown theme. It's got emotional chord changes so it sounds more like 'we've really gotta fight here or we're gonna lose it all' kinda thing. if it's worth reading into it, then i'd say they're chose it for pathos. I mean your GM is a guy who thinks he's still healthy enough to wrestle but WWE won't let him - what is DB's contract status anyway? cos i get the impression he'd probably wrestle for another company if he was free to, so i imagine WWE has him locked in a multiyear deal from before he retired?
I'm surprised. When the draft happened I thought Smackdown sounded so boring but they've been doing a good job with their main storylines. The only disappointing thing so far is Miz Vs Crews. They need to work out a character for that guy. This thing with people constantly calling him Creed is a glimmer of a character so hopefully they pull that thread and make themselves a little ball of yarn.

That Bray Bray thing can't be real, I'm rolling
TBH the next couple of months of Fin Vs. Seth is going to be boring. When is the last time a heel did some real heel shit? Heel's use to be the "bad" guy. I just don't feel that way anymore.
Undertaker- Kidnapping Steph
HHH- Hiring a Rikishi to take out Austin
Austin- Beating the crap out of Michael Cole(LMAO)
Edge- Taking Matt's GF
Things that make you say "What an asshole"

Rikishi did it for the Rock

Finn should burn down every crossfit gym to really scare Seth
Seth Rollins turning on The Shield was kind of that....but they fucked it up in the end.
The biggest heel fought for his wife's honor after the babyface interrupted his wedding celebration and insulted her. He's Russian though, so fuck that guy, what an asshole.
Exactly, I keep telling everyone The Prime Time Players vs The Shining Stars are going to close out the show.
Looking forward to being right.
They just don't have it like another feud does. How you doin'.

I wonder if they were able to get all of the Ashes up.

Seth should remind Finn that the IRA collaborated with the Nazis, which ties everything together.
And yet he still got CM Punk chants during this
Paige mocking Charlotte's dead brother was a pretty "bring back the attitude era =b" moment.
They don't have the ability to do heels in the way the modern era demands. They managed it in NXT for a while but even that has been derailed.
Yes/No I think certain matches don't need a build and some do. I'm most likely going to be more invested into Dean/Dolph then Seth/Fin because the build was just better.
No because Fergal Devitt is a hack fraud plant sent by Bushiroad to poison pill all white guy imports from Japan forever.

Yeah, a good storyline makes the match and the payoff 10 times more interesting.

Not to parrot Fox316 talking points or whatever but sticking up photos of your supposed bad guys doing really cool stuff like this with sick kids, in an age where celebrity and stardom is often defined by social media presence will make it hard for them to be truly hated as a character.
HHH plays a bad guy on TV, remember?

The Sandow TNA segment came up on my YT recommendations so gave it a watch. Good promo.
What confuses me though is that he was obviously never going to be world champion in WWE, but was entertaining with every gimmick he was given, could talk and could put on decent to great matches.
Now if they needed to get rid of people for cost savings or just not enough TV time to feature everyone, I would get it. But right now it just looks odd when you have Sandow out and Curt Hawkins in... and I kinda like Curt.
NuKayfabe. Like what NuMetal did for metal.

I haven't watched Raw or Smackdown live in like two years so commercials get skipped which removes 40-60 minutes and I skip though the shows most of the time.
It should've been in place like a month ago not after they've already been going at this shit for much of that time and then shit heating up as it goes but... *shrug*
i'd have to watch BvS to know that, so who knows

Aww I have turned around on her.

So a demon v a devil?
I remember believing he really killed him. Then he comes back 3 years later lol.The whole CM Punk Paul Bearer thing only reminded me of that time that Undertaker killed Paul.
CWC tonight. Awwww yissssss.
Watched Naito vs Omega finally last night. It was absolutely wonderful. Those two have done an amazing job picking up the slack in the void that AJ and Nak left.
And I wrapped up this extremely stupid Battlefield 4 video I've been editing together for the past week. Thought I'd make one last video before BF1 hits. I'm pretty happy with it.
