I can just imagine H in a rush and getting frantic in that outfit "Steph, have you seen my sledgehammer anywhere?"

Joe Doring losing the Triple Crown to Go
From boring American dude to boring Japanese dude. AJPW why do you make it so hard for me? Bring in Takayama and give it to him. He's old and not amazing, but I can at least enjoy watching him knee young shits in the face for trying to get his title.
What happened to Go? He fell completely off the radar, didn't he? Considering that he was considered the top prospect for this generation.

That's not unusual for anyone.

Reigns is THE guy. But probably the most unconvincing one since Michael Elgin.
His promo was about 20 words long. Could he not have prepared a little bit before going on air?!
Yep, if you stick with WWE because they have pyros and blinking lights you should get your priorities straight.
Otherwise like Boots says you deserver everything you get. Enjoy your shit show!

What I mean is in setups like this, nearly everyone has an earpiece. That's not an unusual thing to see in that setup.

So let's say AJPW can't really bring anyone in, who would've you picked to put the title on? I'm not any great fan of Go's, but I still think he's their best shot at a leading star until Kento Miyahara's ready (which he almost is). An old man Nishimura title run where he ties fools into knots would've been pretty fun, as well, but really there's no one else.

That's like asking Daniel Bryan to keep a straight face for more than 30 seconds.
GFKonMMA, manager of the Dagastani Knucklegame Cartel, is the best part of Twitter.
I've seen it reported that Reigns was being fed lines audibly, hence the sound cutting out on a couple of occasions. What I mean is, how did he not come up with something decent ahead of time? Was he just gonna stumble through an improvised response that would have been even worse if someone off camera wasn't telling him what to say?
Bryan is the Jimmy Fallon of wrestling
a vanilla midget who can't keep a straight face, and his best moments are already behind us
There are plenty of reasons to dislike the push Reigns is getting without relying on sheetz. Just comment on the shows and leave the backstage stuff out of it, because it's probably garbage anyway.
For as much as the people here complain about Kaefabe being dead shit like this is amazing.
Showing the hard work and the thought process going into everything.
I don't know if Wall Street will let HHH run the entire company but he should be in charge of creative and talent development.

But sheetz
I don't remember Bryan constantly reminding me that he can sing and play guitar every week.

Bryan is a normal guy just like us.

The 2nd picture he looks like a kid wearing his parents costume.
I really wish they exposed a little of this more. It makes the company seem so much more human and not a robotic machine that prints Cena t-shirts
Yeah, this is probably the funniest part of the whole thing. Didn't realize Sheamus/Bryan is the Orton/Cena of midcard feuds in Vince's mind.
I would have kept it on Suwama or give it back to Akiyama. I never would have given it to Joe in the first place and kept it with Suwama as a 'fighting champion' until there's somebody who will bring in new viewers. If Go was going to be a huge draw, it would have happened already. I think people overrate Go based on what they thought he would be and not what he turned into(kinda like Marufuji, but I find Go even more underwhelming than Marufuji). At this point, AJPW pretty much needs a huge star to work for them to get eyes on them and then they can build other young guys while they've got that star(probably a Japanese legend working a freelancer contract) and rely on those young guys when the legend drops it. But if I was a young guy with some talent, I wouldn't go to AJPW even if I grew up watching it.
Zero-1 does a much better job of balancing a shit roster with an amazing roster. AJPW's 'amazing' guys are guys you've seen a thousand times before and aren't really doing anything new. I think the only star potential in that company is Kotaro, and he will likely stick to juniors.

Never heard of him.
I guess you're right. I'm just so sickened by the Rumble.

HHH should wear that for a while on RAW, would be great.
Wear that while sitting in a throne that faces the hard camera.
as he decides who wins and who loses! i'd take that over what we're getting right now
he was the real person who deserved an interview last night on raw

But it's the final battle.

They should have Axel come out and ask for his Mania title shot...

This is great. Hopefully they really do read GAF.
Hell, even having Trips wear that and just stay silent and nod during Steph promos would be funny.

That's not PG at all.
I guess Meltzer was right, the free month was super successful.

I love the little touch with Kerry when he has the NWA title about how reluctant he is to give it to the ref. He folds it up nice and neat, hands it to the ref but keeps one hand on it for a moment before letting go.
Makes this make a lot more sense too
Wow, that's awesome. Never saw that.
