So, just because I'm curious.
Is NXT commentary recorded live or solely added in after?

Great man, Batista. But the comments had me like:
I always wondered whether .gifs like these were edited to make it look sillier than it was, so I finally watched the Ortiz debut. It's more awkward than I could have imagined.

Dude! I knew I wasn't the only one who thought they were the same person at one time.
Finally I can be at peace. I always wondered what really fucked them over.
The fireball trick, how did they do that exactly?
Half and half I believe. They're there at the arena recording it, but a bunch of it is dubbed in later, usually with updated info if the tapings are old. Sometimes it's a bit obvious.
Each guy had their own ceiling in each company. Dudes like the Steiners were better off in WCW, same for Vader. It was good for Eddie and Benoit in their respective runs, but that only happens under the brand split. Though guys like Flair, Triple H, Hogan and Michaels could impede a person's position.

I enjoyed the NXT ending.
I was expecting something far worse after hearing about it.

Batista vs Manny for Bellator 160
Worse? But it was awesome

I think I read a few comments in here calling it BS.
But it was a really good match overall, and sets things up quite nicely hopefully.
If you want to know the feud ends in
3 weeks in a match that takes up a whole show or 50 minutes.
The funny thing is
this match has been called either 5 star match of the year and some actually say its a 1 star match.
Holy fuck, cannot wait
I'm wearing my Cesaro shirt but I have my singlet and a gi under it in case somebody tries to shoot on me.Always be ready

The second Raw after that Mania show was when Bret officially re-unites with Owen and Davey Boy.

In their defense, I'm American so I matter more
Still astounds me that they thought that shit was ok
Only EVO is big enough for that match: two carnies having a match in a game created by one of the carniest companies

I was following this exchange too and Boots couldn't have been more on point. It's a pretty shitty situation when you order something like that and it's available to download on torrent sites way before you even get your DVD / Bluray. I understand that piracy won't be prevented either way, but making the content legally available as a download or VOD at the same time the physical copies become available shouldn't be too much to expect in 2016.

Suddenly I am wondering this was why they pointed out that kid with the bullet club t shirt on RAW

Whatever happened to the streaming service Highspots just launched? I thought they were loading PWG shows on to it.

I understand you now, at first I didn't quite get what you were hitting at.
Lol yeah, I think it's funny though. When you get toward the end of year you have all of these factions and the big 3,there wasn't a clear heel or face between them. NoD, DX, and THF (even though the crowd dictated that NoD were clearly the heels).The second Raw after that Mania show was when Bret officially re-unites with Owen and Davey Boy.
I only watched those RAWs for the first time a few months ago and Bret making up with Owen is one of the best segments in RAW history.
Actually it's pretty clear that all three factions (and eventually LB) are all heels! The only factions in 1997 that get clear face reactions are The Hart Foundation in Canada and DOA in redneck areas when they face the Nation.

He was only 13 and he stood up to that teacher picking on Owen. Bret was shooting around the same age Gucci was trapping.
Edit: Same shit I had come to conclusion with as far as the factions go. But NoD got so much more heat. Almost never got cheered but those rebels in the crowd loved them.

NOD basically never gets cheered, you're not wrong there.
DX and THF have slight face moments, though not really DX in 1997, then again they aren't actually even a faction until the very end. Los B's never get cheered either.
There aren't many true faces left by the end of 1997, the list is basically The Undertaker and Ken Shamrock. Stone Cold still isn't quite there yet and won't be until he starts full time feuding with Vince.

Did that dude even take a physical before the fight?

It's more likely that he only ever trained for 3 minutes per period. Kimbo does full camps, and he still wasn't near death after only 12 minutes of standing on his arthritic knees

97 was weird dude. I remember we cheered for Taker obviously, my cousins loved Austin however I still didn't get invested in him until 2000 maybe. Shamrock was badass so we liked him too. I was the odd one because I liked HBK and The Rock, even though they turned "bad guys". My other set of cousins watched more wCw than we did so hearing a lot about Sting was confusing. I guess Vince got so edgy be forgot his while "good versus evil" template during that time.
It starts happening at the end of 1996. Goldust turns face...but HBK and Bret start acting like whiny douches. Stone Cold is...well, stone cold evil but he is getting louder cheers. Sid beat up an old man and got cheered for it. Ahmed is face when healthy, Vader and Mankind are heels, Marc Mero is a face but is soon to be injured.
The depth of the roster is never lower than it is by the end of 1997 a year later.

I think it was probably, "who cares if they're good or bad as long as they are cool!"
Even though nWo were bad, they were cool.
You would've thought they were in soooo much trouble since they couldn't establish who they wanted to the ones cheered but luckily it all worked out.

The only superstar that's still full time in this picture is The Big Show.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
The two guys in the center of the picture are full time, they're just hurt.

A funny overlooked thing: When Reigns wins at Mania, it'll be his 3rd world title reign. His first? Came in late-November.
So it'll be 3 in 5 months.
So he'll be on pace to break Flair's record by around Mania 34. Let's do it

Sorry to tell you bud but believe it or not they're about to be part time(not as bad as Brock) . Orton already had his schedule cut down and I could see Cena being that way once he comes back.

I always took it as both making fun of the long dumb name and giving a shorter way to talk about it without typing/copypasting the long dumb name every time
