Raw was delayed that week for the Westminster Kennel Club dog show.
Not Memphis. WWE doesn't own the rights to Memphis footage. The only Memphis stuff WWE owns is AWA related matches that happened there. So high quality Bock vs King is a possibility, but not much else.
Obviously the Benoit tribute show won't ever be put up (I have my doubts about the Owen and Eddie shows as well), but I wonder if Benoit's DVD will be up. They did say all their home video releases would be available. And fuck, I really really hope Colosseum Home Video movies are included in that.

Reminds me of when Matt Hardy tried maiming Jeff on numerous occasions with the likes of pyro and working in a real life misfortune where Matt was the one who burned down Jeff's house killing his dog.
Still didn't get much heat all things considered, what a hilariously silly feud that was.
Don't support these pieces of shit. They're fucking awful.
That's probably going to be the exception to the "no censured" part of the network.
One thing is not cutting him from the shows, but that episode is way too much given the context of his dead. I think they'll simply skip it.

I actually really like his closing thoughts about the cards.

Yeah, I reckon there's a good chance that benoit episode won't make it on the network. Along with the Benoit documentary. And if they do, they'll probably have a warning pop up.
I'm sure Over the Edge 1999 won't be on. That wasn't even released on video.

I don't think so; they should make an award thread to compile everything

Gaming side is full of stupid fucking questions lol
Why isn't the Wii U selling?
Why do developers make sequels?
Why does Mario wear red? Is Luigi REALLY his brother?
Why does a game price drop?
Why isn't Mario on Sony platforms?

I love the hypothetical threads.
Lets say you were in charge of nintendo
What if they asked you to make 3 sequels right now
What if the Xbox failed and Nintendo was on top?

LOL! The next Steve Blackman? Hilarious!
If I were being optimistic as well I'd say that the fact that if it's the only match left that is an absolute lock they must want to put Wyatt over. It just seems unusual that they'd go to these lengths to feed Cena someone who's been on the roster for less than a year.
Edit: As I said though extremely optimistic.

Put an eye patch on him. New Big Boss gimmick.
Ways to refresh Cena:
Set aside a DVD that shows a never-before-seen PPV where Thuganomics Cena and his heretofore unseen mentor had to put on a show behind enemy lines for the underprivileged WWE Universe. Things go awry and Cena's left legit shook. After a convoluted plot involving the nature of loyalty and patriotism where
the mentor gives their life to preserve the peace between Raw and Smackdown audiences

Imagine if CM Punk and AJ Styles joined Jeff Jarrett's new promotion.
I went to some really dark places just now.
Wasn't Double J running things when Punk was signed to TNA?

Wait. Jarrett's got a new promotion, now?
Why would Punk work for chump change?
I think we have to be careful not to project our own frustrations with creative onto Punk. As it has been pointed out, Punk's problem is MAINLY money. While he has issues with the creative direction, his main issue is the slot on the card, because that will determine his PPV bonus, and with that dwindling due to the network, he likely felt that a lower card match wouldn't pay him enough to endure all that he's enduring. In fact, I bet that if they told him that his match with HHH would main event WM, he would not have walked away, even if nothing else about the creative direction changed.

Jarrett doesn't have any change to offer, just a thousand broken guitars.
Christian is much more likely to main even the WM of Jarrett's promotion than any Wrestlemania.

How long before Jarrett books himself as champion of his new promotion? I'm guessing he'll win the belt in a one night tournament on the very first show.
I don't think it's about money at all. Punk doesn't spend alot of his money, he has a touring bus and that's about it. He probably got an amazing deal three years ago and has been selling tons of merchandising since (and because he does, he gets a bigger payoff for his merchandising too). He doesn't buy expensive cars, he doesn't party all day and night and he's not supporting a drug addiction or paying off four ex-wives. Hell, if money was an issue he definitely wouldn't have walked off in the highest paying period of the year, he would've left afterwards.
His issues are that he's burned out, beaten up and that he feels the creative team is not utilizing him properly, which is a valid complaint because he's been directionless since his feud with Heyman ended (and they continued that feud a good 2 or 3 months beyond it's natural end too).
I would hope Jeff would do more of a face GM kind of role considering he's 46 and hasn't wrestled full time in years. Then again, he'd likely be the most well known guy on the roster. So I see AJ winning the title in a one night tournament and Jeff swooping in with his MITB guitar case to cash in and steal the belt.

Just watching NXT
Not sure if she's wrestled recently but Charlotte is the most awkward person I've seen in a long time she just seems so out of place

You should watch her debut where she did her super sexy entrance (which was the opposite of super sexy) right in front of Ric. Unbelievably awkward.
One person isn't "peeps". One person is a "peep" and you aren't paying his mortgage.

Whenever I hear him say "peeps" I always feel his use of the plural there is stretching it a bit.
*edit, what the fuck, stro! STOP READING MY MIND.
I was so happy when his theme hit on Smackdown. Christian is great!
He's literally one of very few people that can get an entertaining match out of Randy Orton, that's how great he is.
I'm in yo head, mother fucker.

Christian is ass. one of the guys i legit think is useless.
there are better jobbers, there are better midcarders, better faces, better heels, etc.
no use, cut him, Dana.

Really? I always imagined Vince as being very approachable as a boss, given how big that company is I've always figured he's the kind of boss you can knock on his door, drop by and have his ear (if he has time of course) for whatever.
I can imagine if Punk can air his grievances and Vince can talk him down and give him some time off, he can get him back and they can even turn this story into a worked shoot.
