im not into boring shows
It would give new life to Swagger's career, guarantee him heat, and he'd have a job for life.
I do blame them. Because they're running away from the situation entirely and writing it off as just the workings of a fundamentally evil person.
I don't have a problem watching old benoit tapes (although I do cringe when he does the flying headbutt), because I understand things aren't black and white, especially when depression and drugs are involved.
Someone doesn't just suddenly become an evil criminal and kill themselves and their family at the age of 40. There are signs missed, and underlying brain damage and mental illness, and environmental influences.
But it's much easier to simply say he was a bad person
I think you're missing the point. It's not about whether he was a good person, bad person, etc. The WWE is an entertainment capitalist company. They'll do what is in the best interests of their profit margin. Vince McMahon, himself, said in testimony before the Senate that the only reason they instituted a wellness policy was for PR's sake. It's all about their bottom line. Is it morally acceptable? Maybe not, but it's capitalism, and it's one of the reasons why capitalism sucks.
The WWE has chosen to institute concussion testing, drug testing, health checks, etc. without bringing up Benoit's name. I'm guessing their approach is to learn from the Benoit incident, without bringing it up.

Can you call him Styles, please, he has lost the rights to his initials.

With TNA still putting up decent shows and the big PPV-esque 3 hour Raw coming up it looks like the next few weeks could be pretty darn good for the wrestling world. My only concern is the week after the big Raw show. How are they going to fill three hours every week? I would hope they would get more guys on TV and let them have longer matches but I seriously doubt that will be the case.
what did he say?

just how he respects the turnout to indie shows and all that jazz. packed crowd, probably because the big o was main eventing with tony niese as his partner.
Dean Ambrose should be Kane's son. Instant heat, no need for useless rudder matches to get the crowd to know him, he'll be employed for life with the WWE, and creative can't forget him.

When do they ever say he's a bad person? They just pretend he never existed.
Ha ha...No.
I watch a few shows, I don't want to get into it and get ragged on by gaf.

That's just WWE's passive-aggressive way of acknowledging what GaimeGuy said
Justin Gabriel looks like such a dork.
Also, someone needs to get Vince on the horn and tell him he's missing a great opportunity here. Those guys should be wearing merchandise EVERWHERE they go. If they don't have their own merchandise, they should just wear John Cena's gear. He could use the exposure.
They should also carry around expired WWE.com/shop coupons.

He just needs the right mentor and angle.

So I'm watching Impact and the Claire/AJ segment comes on. Am I not the only one feeling like this is going to end up as her in cahoots with Daniels? Seems a little too easy.

Would let Tony Parker sleep with his wife
Just to further facepalm that segment, Angle was attacked near the curtain to the arena which if you watched the show, is only a few feet away from where all the BFG guys were. You'd think somebody would have seen it.
It's also the fact that this week, the Johnny Aces ran out from the back which means somebody had to get them in the arena and clear it with security. The first couple of attacks, they jumped out of the crowd, which makes sense. Tonight it didn't..unless it was a clue to who is behind it all....

It would be for the best if she's working with them. I really don't want to see this go any further into the whole Jerry Springer baby daddy crap. I'd be 100% fine if the payoff was just Daniels and Kaz wanting to make Styles look bad because they're sick of him getting pushed for being squeaky clean like he's above the rest of the guys, or whatever.
Thought this was pretty neat.

Not really. He wasn't there that long, and he was on SD! for a while.

I take it Batista wasn't around the E long enough to be on it.

What is the end goal of this storyline? Do the writers even know? Cause it certainly doesn't look like it's leading to a match. Ok what if Styles is the father. Then what? It doesn't change anything or set up anything interesting. I'm with you. Just end this crap.
You never know it may happen that Claire is a T-1000 sent back in time to kill AJ Styles!
But you know if AJ Styles married AJ Lee we would have two AJ Styles one on each wrestling show, that is what Claire is trying to prevent
BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!

Batista moved to Smackdown after Evolution and stayed there for a LONG time before coming back.
Impact was great last night, good undercard, great main event, good angles and the only bad angle didn't get much airtime. Aces and Eights is basically the original idea behind the Nexus where they are destroying everything TNA without discrimination. I only hope they treat the reveal and follow-up better than the Nexus.
There is 99.99% chance that this will end in some miscarriage BS.
