Acting school didn't seem to help much, but at least Roman Reigns enunciates now.

It looks like he could strain every muscle in his face just to enunciate.

They almost justified their burial with that promo time alone
Yep. It's pretty embarrassing. They're writing him like Rock or Cena, but it doesn't fit at all. He needs his own unique voice, but it's not telling fairy tales and talking about comic books.

I think the WWE Network is now available in Canada normally? At the very least, online on your comp?

I hope Owens and Zayn are in the Rumble just to advance their story.

It's available if you're a willing slave to Ted Rogers or EastLink.
Haven't heard this. It's available as a television channel from a specific satellite provider in specific provinces.
I would prefer if Owens goes nowhere near the main roster for a while. If he goes too soon, JBL will say something like "Who is this fat sack, who has he beaten?"

what if kofi's spot is just him eliminating cesaro
that would be swell
"look at that pig fly maggle!!!"
Yep, Owens needs to build his rep in NXT for at least a year before going forward. If he goes forward too soon, it would be bad for him.
Time for some Ruthless aggression nostalgia.
After reading about the Ascension. Getting called up to the WWE is REALLY not a good idea :/. They would make Owens do a running cannonball back to ROH quicker than Truth Martini shills his book.
That sounds about like every segment they skipped on the Hulu Plus edition.
They have to do it right is all. The Ascension have been treated like chumps since being called up, and then fed to legends and made to look like the chumps you think they are.
I don't think they'll have this issue with guys like Sami Zayn who have established themselves and their characters more than Ascension have.
Lets be honest, with Ascension they have the look and the gimmick and we know they're decent brawlers but we don't know who they are beyond that.
It was too soon to call them up, but they couldn't do anything else really in NXT.
You could probably even do without the Ambrose and Barrett match. 3 hours is just too damn long with the lack of star power on the roster. The only reason it worked this week was because of all the legends appearances.
I actually think they might have skipped that too.
but they were born and bred to rip and shred
Next week's line:
"We are here to instill fear!"
Okay, time to wash some dishes and get in some DDP Yoga.

..............it's our time to rise... welcome to the wasteland...
The Ascension absolutely do not have the look. They act like they're huge intimidating freaks but the more cut looking one of the duo is kind or short and the bigger guy of the two looked more out of shape than half of the old legends he was in the ring with.
They're basically the Bulk and Skull of WWE
They're basically the Bulk and Skull of WWE
I died a little bit inside when they said that. I'm pleased those old dudes beat the crap out of them.
Seriously though, I marked out pretty hard for the APA.
Made me think, was JBL's horribly destructive commentary of the Ascension over the last few weeks actually a build to the APA's appearance? Cos it actually felt like it.
Plus, they have the worst double-team finisher in the history of the business. Cesaro/Kidd's swing/dropkick is a million times cooler.
You better not talk bad about Konnor, Sunny will mess you up
They really booked them wrong. They should have carried the gimmick they had in NXT and made them become Bray's hitmen...OR...renegades for hire. Anything but that bullshit gimmick that's making them look like chewed up chumps instead of little credible tough guys.
I don't even care for the Ascension but the bullshit that happened last night was embarrassing and one of the reasons why I'm on strike.
If Vince McMahon won't let RoboCop into the Avatar Rumble then, hell, he can kiss my ass

Interesting Smackdown spoiler to start the show
* Daniel Bryan kicks off the show and introduces Ryback, Dolph Ziggler and Erick Rowan. The "fired" WWE Superstars return to a big pop.

I think he finds the fact that Daniel Bryan is the one to introduce them back is interesting.
It really seems like Smackdown is the Daniel Bryan show.

I thought it was interesting that they brought them back on Smackdown

Yeah that too. I thought they'd hold off until the Rumble for the return. Bigger pop.
