Could you, back in the NXT days, ever believe Skip Sheffield to be main event material?
Not until Nexus debuted. Then again I had high hopes for Michael Tarver.

YEP YEP YEP WHAT IT DO!
Yeah Kojak is good, but I find it hard to relate with him. With Columbo he let them think he was a messy idiot when in reality he was the best police detective whatever lived. I'm a messy idiot when in reality I'm a messy idiot. Also I don't even like lollypops, too much sugar.

Huh, I always appreciated Kojak's "bend the rules but don't break em" style and how well he delegated his tasks to CROCKAAAAAH and his IRL brother on the show. Good stuff.
A lot of men who seek women can take a lot of advice from Kojak's school. He was a hell of a guy and had the BEST suits. My god that fit!
When he debuted with Nexus, I said he was the likeliest out of any of them to main event.Could you, back in the NXT days, ever believe Skip Sheffield to be main event material?
Well, no fucking duh, lol. I called it when she made out with Kane. Unfortunately, you don't make it to this level as a woman in the WWE by sucking off Trent Baretta.

It was smart of you to take into account WWE fucking up Barrett's momentum and also Vince's burning love for big men.

I didn't think they'd fuck up Barrett as much as they did.

So I fell into a hole and watched a video of PN News eating a burger, and I'm upset to say I have those exact same sunglasses! I used them when I was an Elvis Tribute Artist, funny to see them on PN News.

I thought he would main event too. Fucking Big Show ruins everything.
Nice hype for the GWF DPPV sunflower, sounds like it's going to be a great show.
Also, I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but Brian Cage is a f'n machine;
Wait til you see the DDT4 stuff. Cage had a few crazy spots, but it was all about Elgin and his crazy strength. Its weird that the strongest people in PWG list goes Elgin, than Cage and then Roddy and his FRS.
You were an Elvis tribute artist? Tell me more!
I think you mean John Cena. He killed Barrett long before Big Show. Even before literally burying him.

It's a serious thing - kinda like how if you want to be a Santa Claus, there's a whole licensing procedure and more.
I look like Elvis, so I went with it. Still got my turquoised phoenix jumpsuit and more.
Is there any photographic or video evidence documenting this momentous news from your past?

Yep, there is.

There never going to let PAC do any of his moves. Right? :\
The reverse rana is most definitely out. BUt his finisher will probably be the 630. If anything, Kofi will be out of a job after PAC starts being the guy who is in the air for what seems like forever with his moves but his moves will actually be good

I don't think anyone did but those with understandable eternal doubt (shout outs to Net_Wrecker!), screwing up Nexus? absolutely (hello Summerslam!), having Barrett fall into the abyss with it and spend over two years climbing out? not as such.
They had numerous great opportunities to build a star with Barrett in the later stages of the Nexus storyline but the mothering protection for the Golden Boys Cena and Orton scuppered that quite handily, even so I considered that it was perhaps too soon for him and WWE were going to give Barrett a slower build.
Instead enter midcard purgatory, escape is near impossible.
I miss his promos from the Nexus days, a confident heel with a solid grasp on how to deliver an effective promo, that was like 2 and a half years ago now! I'm making do with Barrett getting a few seconds in the backstage interview spot to try and sell why his meaningless midcard match up has any meaning (hint: it doesn't).
Why the mid card don't get any real story progression will forever confuse me.
and as Soul pointed out, fucking Big Show, yeah accidents happen but still...fucking Big Show.
Speaking of Show, I think giving ADR that WHC victory over Show in such a way kind of undervalues all that Show had gained in his recent run, ADR got dicked on by Sheamus for like every month last year, Big Show though was the man to finally decisively beat Sheamus multiple times yet now i'm supposed to buy that ADR can one up the Sheamus Slayer in a throwaway title match with a build up so far off the radar that I genuinely thought that there was no build up.
ADR's title win feels incredibly ineffective, hell just look at the Wrasslegaf reaction, it might as well have been the divas title changing hands with the relatively small amount of fucks given, not that I dislike ADR at all but now really doesn't feel like the time and at this point i'm almost thinking it's just a way to have Ziggler make this upcoming anniversary Raw a memorable one.
The actual title match was pretty solid, with a strong main event ppv build behind it I think ADR could've got the people truly behind him but instead it's just another "big" moment for ADR that feels just as empty as all his other "big" moments like the Royal Rumble and Money in the Bank, never has a wrestler with so many accolades in such a short space of time felt so uninteresting.
Lies, Bret is one of the best on the mic, and this promo is one for the ages.

You're the one that looks like Elvis. You've really done it all, been a body guard in Brazil, an Elvis tribute and fought in Vietnam. You're like Forrest Gump but real and not an idiot.
Jericho talks about how Lanny Poffo could suck his own dick :lol

The Justice League ran those dastardly Nexus goons out of the bulding, and Cena singlehandedly beat them after GETTING DDT'd ON CONCRETE.
DDT.
ON.
CONCRETE.
It was over the minute it started.

That one sign in the crowd at Summerslam 2010 of a cartoony Cena with a massive shit eating grin on its face was such a perfect summary of the finish, fittingly it got full on camera treatment right before the show ended, it's a vivid memory for sure.

Yes. It has been kind of sad.
It's Aaron Neville week!
He must need some serious kneepads to stop his knees getting destroyed at a young age from all those splashes and ranas, almost all of them have his knees absolutely crashing into the mat.
He and Ricochet are out of this world at high flying, though. Kofi "Klumsy" Kingston looks like a joke compared to them. Not to mention, PAC can also wrestle well, not just fly around.
Yup I remember when he came back and that box fell on him in that bit where he was destroying stuff. Everyone here was laughing but I REALLY felt bad for the guy.
Truly sad.

So can Ricochet. His wrestling has improved vastly thanks to his last two years in Japan. Dude is incredibly smooth in the ring.
Yeah. That was a bummer all around.

To prove your point one need look no further to the reaction to Christian getting jobbed out of the World Heavyweight title after two days.
Or D.Brine losing the same title at Mania in 18 seconds.
Now compare that to the reaction (or lack thereof) towards Del Rio getting the win over Big Show. Talk about your devalued title changes.

What can I say? I also stormed the beach in WWII.
No really though, Elvis Tribute Artist for a brief stint.
They shouldn't have given it to Christian in the first place as it was an Attaboy title.

Honestly I'm scared about the tag team ladder match. It might go on forever. :/ Might do it "separate" from the main story so I can change the match experience to Quick.
Just like Beth Phoenix, and the Bella Twins? She is leaving on good terms and will she really take a per appearance contract.
