Seth also grazed his lower back with the MitB briefcase.
So, y'know...there's that.
It was "off the distraction". That's a move now. It's the one move Michael Cole calls without fail.

You find that unfortunate? If that's the case, I must sorely disagree. I feel any form of weight class has no place in pro wrestling.
There has always been an issue of if you need to be a certain size to draw. Any form of weight class reenforces this, even if it's designed not to.(Cruiserweight was named so in order to avoid it, but there was still a stigma surrounding it.)
I feel transitioning to a Junior/Senior format would be a good thing for wrestling, it keeps a clear distinction on who falls where on the card without pinning it on size. It gives fans an in-universe term for midcarders, but doesn't nail you down to that spot, you can actually go up if you work hard enough. It would also solve the illogical card progression that WWE has been having issues with lately.

In case anyone wants to witness Roman's previous singles loss for themselves... Leakee vs. Leo Kruger
As long as it doesn't have any 1000 year old demons/PSVita creepiness I'll give it a try. Downloading now!
BTW, if any of you want to add me on PS3, I'm "DiscoJ".

Speaking of FallingEdge, do you guys think he gets off on going to indie shows, taking pictures next to the wrestlers and making them look small?
Breh, D. Brine won't main event Wrestlemania this year. He's going to lose to the Roman Empire. Balee that, as I think he would say.
If he does though, I'll buy someone in this thread pizza.

I wonder if there's any Easter eggs hidden in the filigree?
I'm not even saying Bryan goes into the Mania match. They just wanted to book a fan reaction and see how it plays out. It really is a toss up which way they go on this though.
I would prefer WM to have 1v1 title matches. Benoit at 20 and Bryan at 30 were special occasions.
If you'd let me put on my fantasy booking hat for a minute...
Bryan beats Reigns at Fast Lane after Rollins gets involved (they already had Rollins get involved in his match with Show, there's history, etc)
Reigns challenges Rollins to a match at WM for his MitB case ("You took my title shot away from me, I'm going to take yours from you")
Reigns wins the case at WM (Rollins, IMO, is credible enough of a main eventer to no longer need the case to challenge for a title shot). Bryan or Lesnar could win at WM (depends on if Lesnar re-signs, but he's a face to the hardcore crowd anyway so they probably wouldn't boo him retaining), either would work for a feud with Reigns culminating in a title shot at SS (Bryan took his title shot from him, Lesnar vs. Reigns books itself).
Rollins goes on to feud with a face Orton (this would require holding off on Orton's return until either WM where he costs Rollins the match or RAW the night after).
Reigns wins the title at some point (SummerSlam?), we get a Rollins vs Reigns title feud to close out the year.
Boom.

Won't be long until we find Strobogo hanging out in the comments section of Brandon Stroud's articles.
Right, I got around to watching the Austin/HHH podcast on the network before I went out and I loved it. The only question I think I'd want HHH to answer on the back of it is how much was planned after the Sami/Cesaro feud? I mean, I don't even care either way because it worked out beautifully, but after that first special when Cesaro won again, yet Sami lost the big matches, was that planned knowing how big a face Sami was, or was that an audible?
I honestly don't care which one it is, but I would go as far to say that if Sami was booked exactly the same on the main roster, he would be close to being as over as he is with the NXT audience. it either shows that HHH's booking team has a fantastic long term plan that knows what the crowd wants, or they reacted to the reaction Sami got. I'd love to know the answer, because it was perfect either way. Neville was a huge heel... Yet only between the match the X went up and the first title match. He was a complete babyface again by the end of the same event.

Ah, true that. I can't really see WWE being that forward thinking. All that happening is due to dumb luck and them losing control of their Toyota Prius.

Can you help me navigate that site? I see a thread Strobogo made about Vader, click the link and it takes me to imgur. I see there's 40 replies in his thread but the only other link I can seemingly click on is his screen name which just takes me to his profile. How the frick do I get to the thread?

Friends, some breaking news that will shake WrassleGAF to its core:
What a terrible idea. But it's MetsFan so probably wrong anyway.
That is old news brother Titus. We have heard about their interest in her weeks ago.

No, but maybe I should try doing that. What was the limit?
Mark Madden was really putting her over on JR's podcast!
But then what do you do with Reigns? WWE are more concerned about Reigns having a nice spot at Mania than they are with Bryan.
Tonight, I had the donught burger which is rare for the UK, but a good cheat day. Then I had a bloody mary with mushroom and garlic puree and a lot of tabasco, that was fine. Chilli and chive martini? Beautiful. 9% Russian stout that was £4 a pint? Vodka first taste, but amazing afterwards. 13% lager that was so smooth it tasted like a soft drink? Ruined my night last week, but so nice if it wasn't buy one get one free. Italian stout that was £10 a pint "made from spaghetti water with hints of chocolate and coffee" ... Uh, no. I believe the description of spaghetti water, it just tasted like starch. Finally I found my limit.

Strobogo is more over while banned than he's ever been while his account was in good standing, that carny.
If Paige had the 3rd best legs in a photo, I'm not complaining, I'm just saying holy shit.
Strobogo is the heel this thread deserves.
Marvel

"We'll call you... PUKE!"
He runs up to Bryan and calls him a vanilla midget and tells Reigns to use a speak and spell when he talks.
Doubt that. There is a higher chance he says baby again.
I think I should have some kind of Russian gimmick where I have an iron stomach as I don't feel like anything will come up. If Lana should manage me, I'm fine with that.

I think the 4 way would work best just because you don't damage Bryan or Reigns by having either get pinned. To make Vince happy I'd have Reigns spear Lesnar after Brock eats everyone's finish and then Rollins dump Reigns outta the ring and pick up the scraps.
Ok so I got through the 1st 2 Progress matches so far and will finish the rest this evening. I found it interesting that TNA books a lot of these guy's on the British Boot Camp show and on their UK tours. Has Jimmy Havoc ever done anything with TNA?
