The brief Genius/Hulk feud was pretty darn good, it was Lenny's brush with big money and he made it work.

If you haven't already, go listen to Poffo being interviewed by Colt Cabana on the Art Of Wrestling podcast. He tells the story of putting that match together with Hogan, which is pretty neat.

MTV UK is doing a thing on the preformanc center
tbh I was pretty pissed by that letter. is the Bryan thing a work or not?? if it's not a work then why should anyone 'have faith' as the letter seems to imply? and if it IS a work, then why is this guy/girl shitting on the internet for reacting to the work appropriately?
it's bullshit, really. we pay for WWE. we pay for cable channels, pay for merch, pay for tickets, and it's not cheap. if you buy a hotdog and it's full of dogshit, should we just 'enjoy the product we're given'? no! WWE doesn't exist without fans, and if fans don't enjoy something they can either complain, or vote with their feet by not giving WWE any more of their money - wouldn't whoever wrote this letter rather fans gave fair warning before mass withdrawal of financial support?

Always down for NXT stuff. Beats the main roster quagmire.

Considering Batista mocked the fans by flipping them off while chanting YES at them immediately after the cameras went off, I'd say yes.

I'd imagine it would? Maybe not for Batista or for Rey but probably for the guys who bust their asses off their company night in and night out.
Batista whining about the fans is pretty rich. Dude just shows up and gets the golden ticket handed to him and has the nerve to get upset about fans venting at that shit.

Finished watching the W-1 show, really fun overall - KAI vs Minoru's worth a watch, although Minoru kicks out of goddamn everything. Also really enjoyed Masato Tanaka vs Yasufumi Nakanoue, probably the best match I've seen from Nakanoue yet, while Sekimoto & Okabayashi vs Kanemoto & Yoshioka was a good heavyweights vs jr's tag match. The undercard was fun as well, a good women's match, Kikutaro being an idiot and Funaki vs Takayama in a shootstyle match. Good stuff.
Okabayashi beasting;
Love the Sliding D, no one hits it quite as well as Old Man Tanaka;
Awesome clutch pin from Minoru;

That's because the Genius worked his character all the time. In ring, out of ring, promos, mannerisms, tactics, etc. It's why Bray Wyatt really stands out to me. Bray Wyatt lives that character whenever you see him.
Sandow did a lot of that too--man went to events and signed autographs with a giant feather quill. Based on what you're saying here, it sounds like Sandow fell short in the ring.

If the WWE wants to control the image so bad why do they even do RAW live? Just tape it and alter the sound as you please. Whining about how a live crowd that paid money to watch your crap reacts to your product is just some funny ass shit.
Lol they're so petty
This right here. This is when you know you've lost the plot as a company.
Raw should just be animated from now on. That way HHH is still champion and competing.

Sheamus looks bloody awful.
Chicago is the next city that is going to get banned?

WWE is just going to film out of the Impact zone.

Do you mean Boston, Massachusetts?
Boston hates Cena too. They are on the banned list.

The next time they tape an event there, I'm taking a posse down to hijack the show. We'll turn that crowd heel yet!

All future WWE live events will now take place in Stamford, Connecticut. Paid seat fillers will be brought in for each and every show and given a script each week on when and who to cheer.
Edit: I totally fell into a Botchamania hole for about 2 hours after watching 242. I'm pretty sure I've watched all of them but they never get old.

Perfect. I have four.
On a different note, my brothers and I are thinking about reviewing the Monday Night War episodes of RAW and Nitro week by week in a podcast format and decide which would have been the better option back in the day when the Network hits (assuming these shows are available). The catch? None of us actually watched Wrestling during the Monday Night War. We'd be going in fresh every week. Anyone think that's an interesting idea?

Hey guys, need help finding something...
I remember in the build up to WrestleMania 23, McMahon cut a hilarious promo on Trump - something like "I'm gonna strap him in that chair... and he's gonna be so embarrassed." Hilarious, but I can't find video of it anywhere.
I watched McMahon's Raw promo where Stone Cold's announced as ref. I watched the Raw contract signing. And I watched the WrestleMania 23 press conference.
Couldn't find it. It's a really long, ranting promo where McMahon goes on and on like a child. It's hilarious.
Any ideas? Thanks!
