Why reopen that wound?

It's interesting and a good study in waiting on the details before expressing certain sentiments.
I like to imagine that Finn is the one making these and not his fans.

They're taking a chance, which after last year is more than we expected. Between that and Kidani saying they're doing away with the dumb one year deals, they're responding to being in this position the right way, and it's nice to see.

Call on the Greatest Hall of Famer.
I know this was like 3 days ago but holy shit I laughed way to hard at this
I think Finn is a pretty big fan himself, that's why he does things like that

It's hard to tell with wwe booking sometimes but maybe Stardust is losing to make it more believable that Arnell can win in a match with him. While Arnell is athletic for an actor he's still much smaller than most of the other wrestlers in wwe. And the end result of the match will likely be the retiring of the Stardust characters so they are letting him lose a lot before the turn so fans don't get attached like with the Dudley Boys.
Pretty much. I mean, I understand if someone else doesn't find it worthwhile, though...
I thought NeoGAF Vince was back. : (

He is channeling his inner generalismo takada. I love it
If Cody Hall is going to spray Mao's crotch with mist to lead to her giving birth to Bad Luck Fale, sure. But New Japan is, unfortunately, not Hustle, and the Cleaner shtick with the broom looks silly, even from a company where the main event attraction carried a Buster Sword and was accompanied by a velociraptor to the ring once.

I would love to also see a change to how the junior heavyweight division as a whole is booked, but Bushiroad probably isn't placing an emphasis on it.

Lol!That's right
I actually got the Nash card in First grade. 1998. Damn.
He was decent in the ring, his promos were pretty good. He carried Matt Hardy in their best at everything feud(which is one of the most underrated feuds to happen in the 2000s). Then they made him the kool aid men with Mark Henry smh

It's quite easy when you judge her based on the scripts she reads instead of the tweets she posts.
Becky can't stool my heart if I'm sticking to the main WWE product. It's not all rice at all.
What's the first pun? I can't understand her there.

Because I don't have a heart.
Neat thanks, I should look more into his time but that era is just a blur to me.

Because I don't like the steampunk gimmick?
Fairly easily, as she's by far the most annoying personality regularly featured on WWE TV.
I went to PROGRESS and I liked it! Results and stuff, spoilered because you know what people are like:
1. The Origin (Dave Mastiff & Zack Gibson) def. The Dazzler Team (Earl Black Jr. & Darrell Allen), Sweet Jesus (Chuck Mambo & Pastor William Eaver) and Joe Coffey & Big Damo when Gibson pinned Mambo with a schoolboy. Coffey and Damo beat the everloving shit out of the Dazzler Team and Sweet Jesus after the match.
2. Bubblegum def. Jack Sexsmith with a pedigree. Match involved a lot of bare man arse.
3. Pollyanna & Flash Morgan Webster def. The South Pacific Power Couple (TK Cooper & Dahlia Black) when Webster pinned Cooper with a 630 splash. Awesome match.
4. Jack Gallagher def. Timothy Thatcher by submission with a crab hold. BattlArts as all heck.
5. Rampage Brown def. Mikey Whiplash with a piledriver. Big boy heavyweight match with a lot of brawling, including Whiplash getting whipped through an entire section of chairs in the crowd.
6. Tommy End def. James Davis with a standing octopus hold. Awkward moment in the match when Davis hit a moonsault and may have knocked End loopy because he didn't kick out and the ref stopped counting. End announced after the match that the Sumerian Death Squad vs. London Riots tag match next month will not only be a TLC match but the losing team will have to disband.
7. Marty Scurll def. Mark Haskins to retain the PROGRESS title after using the Danielson elbow strikes, stomps to the face and the crossface chickenwing. Amazing match. Scurll grabbed a chair after the match and used it to injure Haskins' arm as he did to Ospreay on the first Manchester show. Haskins was helped to the back by his wife.
Fun show! Main event was great, as was the mixed tag and Rampage/Whiplash.

I swear someone gave me a Kevin Nash Valentine before when I was little .
Did your Valentines tear their quads as they gave you the card?

Can Bill Eaver actually wrestle? He has a great look.

Consider leveling criticism without assuming a character to spout racism, man. I'm sure you're doing it in jest, but it's really not a good look.

Is that really Vince? Someone thought it was ok for him to do that?
It's actually kinda brilliant. The PPVs are on the Network but I doubt a lot of the RAWs are.
Yeah he's decent in the ring from what I've seen from him. Apparently had a fantastic match with Jimmy Havoc on one of the ENDVR shows a year or two ago.
She worked the house show in Germany last night.
Also, Cameron is teaming with Naomi and Tamina now.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Watching the Network, I finally hit 1995 and let me say this:
I will never understand why Nash thinks he was a great wrestler and a gift to the sport. The guy was awful on the mic, awful in the ring, and couldn't draw at all. Just terrible all around. His feud with Bret Hart made it obvious how bad he was on the mic, as Bret overshadowed him constantly.
On a side note, the Bret/Owen feud was one of the best-written things WWF has ever done. That was quality.

Viking Bork would be perfect. We had shades of it before WM31.
Though most people probably associate the beard with getting his ass kicked by Cain Velasquez.
Taz who? *Stares at Blue*
hehe
Recovering from recent injury, so mostly working house shows to shake off the ring rust.

During that era, Raw was a hit and miss. Smackdown was the real 'A' show.
Surprisingly not.
Nash a great wrestler? No
Microphone work? It's not bad at all, he was held back imo in WWE but once he started talking in wCw, I bet Vince said wow! When he went back to only carrying about the black glove and friends, he was better. He knee it and hated his face run.
We're not called "darkies", we're people of colour man. Take that negativity elsewhere.
