I don't know why Vince is not completely sold on Antonio Cesaro. He just has that manly look that would get over with the mainstream public. He looks like a grown ass man who just so happens to be a physical beast. I guess he has to wear more Afflection shirts and skinny jeans?

ESL. But that's why he's had managers. And Zeb seems to fit the bill!

I don't know what shows you been watching, but I'm seeing a lot of tears everywhere. I'm just saying WWE should do the natural, and right, thing which is to bring out maximum tears at the biggest stage of them all. It's only right. Heck, he could even go all Austin at Wrestlemania 17 and bring out the dreaded chair for maximum impact as I can slowly pinpoint the moment the crowd's heart is breaking in two.
It was printed in its original form, grammatical errors included, in the newsletter:
I've never seen Ambrose write anything but this reads just like Ryback. Here's Ryback's Twitter description:
Could be basically anyone who was in the Rumble. Alvarez said it was a "pretty big star" who was not Batista.
Edit: What's he even saying, by the way? He says the internet is acting stupid but praises the Rumble audience.
I take "Pittsburgh you were an awesome crowd and it was an honor to be in your building last night" as sarcasm.
Ambrose is a guy that always says just enjoy the product you're given in shoots and shit, so guessing him makes sense. But yeah, maybe it is Ryback.
We at least know it wasn't Orton because he threw a hissy fit backstage after his match with Cena.
But...his english is perfectly fine.
I don't know what you're talking about!
This is the best I could do with my limited Paint skills since my avatar still hasn't been created. And...I'm tired of waiting.

I used "terrible" there as a synonym for "boring crap." I don't care what Meltzer gave the match, it was a standard, boring, vanilla match that they tried to make exciting with finisher stealing towards the end. No psychology, no storytelling, no fun and crazy brawling, nothing. They absolutely phoned it in.
If Bryan had that match and the crowd went crazy, I just would've said " That was a boring match aided by a hype crowd." Boring is boring, breh.
Bo is scary as fuck
Another Raw GM? Notto disu shitto agen.MELTZ NEWZ STINGZ
Bo could be MODOK, BODOK.

Or like Saturn selling an enziguri?

Meltzer also said he would much rather have seen the match we got than a 20 minute three-star match. Star ratings are weird.

Guys. I'm over. I'm over!
The way Bryan walks past him in the background makes me laugh.
He's like "Fuck this loser"
I thought that was Traci Brooks.
And here's the debut of Jake the Snake in 'WWF' if you've never seen it before

Feb. 27 Impact
* MVP kicks off the show with a promo about Team Dixie and Lockdown.
* BroMans defeated The Wolves and Kazarian & Daniels in a three-way tag team match when Robbie E stole a pin from one of The Wolves. This was said to be a very good tag match. There was apparently a funny moment where Zema Ion broke some of his DJ equipment.
* Douglas Williams returns to TNA and gets a huge pop from the UK crowd. He's facing Ethan Carter III. Ethan actually gets the win to much heat from the crowd.
* James Storm comes out and talks about how he screwed Gunner last week. Gunner is called out and they argue. Our correspondent thinks a match was made for later.
* Magnus comes out to huge heat from his home country crowd. Magnus calls out Samoa Joe and has an opponents for him, German wrestler Bad Bones. Joe destroys Bones in a match.
* Kurt Angle's Hall of Fame induction is next. They air a video package and Jeremy Borash does the induction. Angle comes out to a massive ovation and is presented with a Rolex watch by Borash. Angle gives an emotional speech. This was described as a very good moment until Ethan Carter III interrupts. They argue for a few minutes and Angle vs. Ethan for TNA Lockdown is announced.
* MVP vs. Bobby Roode with Austin Aries as special referee is up next. Aries is apparently wearing some really short shorts with his referee attire. Roode got the win after Aries turned on MVP and laid him out.
* Lei'D Tapa and Alpha Female vs. Madison Rayne and Velvet Sky is up next. Alpha came out with Chris Sabin on her shoulder. Sabin and Gail Kim watched from ringside. It was noted that Alpha and Tapa looked massive standing next to each other in the ring. Tapa and Alpha get the win and Gail joins in for a post-match beatdown until ODB makes the save.
* They may be taping somethings out of order here but Christy Hemme was in the ring when Sam Shaw confronted her and began to creepily obsess over here some more. Mr. Anderson comes out to interrupt. It was noted that Anderson and Shaw were dressed almost the same and looked just like each other. Anderson called Shaw a creepy bastard and got a "creepy bastard" chant going. This was described as a segment with not much to it. Hemme ended up slapping Shaw.

I don't think they phoned it in. I think they legit thought they were putting on a good match. I don't even know how Meltzer could give it the rating he did. 2.5 at most. I've seen Cena matches on Raw against mid carders that I thought were better than that. I really just wanted that match to end.
I think that picture is from Randy's time in WCW. Lanny was never that wide/soft in the WWF. One of the cooler things from the Memphis set was seeing that Randy got his weird hand gestures from his dad. Especially the pinky thing.
Also, LOLTNA. SWERVES and making your new big time faces look like losers already. Sounds about right.

Something that fails as a match but is entertaining nonetheless is probably better than 20 minutes of mediocrity and boredom. Kind of like the difference between Big Cass vs Breeze and Miz vs Parker this week.

he aint one of your porn stars Stro.
he's a man, such a man, hes a real, real mans man.
You sure it's a rifle?
I don't know, but I do know this is a residential area and there are no hunting grounds anywhere in the city. And someone is shooting stuff. A lot. For the past 15-20 minutes. Sometimes 4-5 shots in a row. Starting to really weird me the fuck out. There is a gun range around here, but a few miles away. Wouldn't be able to hear anything from there, plus it is raining/cold/slushly/snowy and getting dark. Whoever it is just unloaded a clip is sounded like.
Are you sure they aren't just setting off firecrackers for Chinese New Year?
I thought maybe fire crackers at first, but these are clearly gun shots and sound like they're getting closer and more frequent. This is pretty much an addition of retirees. I don't think there are too many people celebrating or even knowing about Chinese New Years out here.

I just watched this AMAZING Hulk Hogan vs. The Genius match: http://youtu.be/qo5-evYqKdM
Seriously, this was so awesome. Everyone (including the announcers) played their roles perfectly. I think The Genius is my new favorite wrestler. That equation on the scroll? So.Awesome.

I was really more of a Macho Maniac rather than a Hulkamaniac.
March 6 spoilers for TNA:
That last spoilers gives away how the main event will end. Also, for these new guys coming in with all this hype they lose quite a bit.

Cant wait for SNME on the network
Damien Sandow gets over more vs Cena because the commentary team keeps telling me how surprised they are that Damian Sandow is still hanging in there with Cena for so long...and then he loses clean 2 mins later. But he was hanging in there with Cena!

My favorite part about the Sandow/Cena match is people were trying to sweep it under the rug with "but it was a great match, the outcome didn't matter!" And then months later, this Friday Sandow lost to fucking Kofi Kingston to continue a long-ass losing streak started off with said Cena match (broken up only by a fluke win over Khali), and even the commentators don't remember "oh, that was a great match", they remember "oh, Sandow lost" just like everybody else who's sane does.
