Really? It's not that puzzling why three of the biggest draws in wrestling in the 90s got hype when they arrived in WWE.
I know they were popular. It's just kinda gross. I'll even admit to liking Hall and Nash but they basically did the same catchphrases and matches on Nitro and it got to be something I'd always skip.

Yeah, Jaywalking is a dumb American law that the car lobbies tricked you into having so they didn't have to deal with road traffic deaths. No-one expects to be arrested for that.
tbf jaywalking on most North American roads is pretty fucking dangerous considering how wide they are and how much larger the average car is over there. It's a dumb law but I can see the reasons why it exists, especially on the Vegas strip.
In New York jaywalking might as well be an Olympic sport.

Implying a story where Okada's success and chosen one status goes to his head and Naito becomes a man of the people babyface, truimphing over Okada at WK11.
Give it to me.

Its really not that bad. Says the go who almost always walks 5 feet into the street on every corner while trying to cross
Two decent RAWs in a row. I'm loving Enzo & Cass more and more with each passing week. There'll come a time when we all get bored of them, but for now I'm happy to ride the mark-wave.
I'm almost sad to be losing my tiny-head Alex Wright avatar, but he is being replaced the best natural heel in WWE, so it's all good.

Eva Marie avatar confirmed.
Looking forward to your Miz avatar

He's never travelled outside of Japan on his own before.

It's cool, they sent Nakazawa after him, so at least he's got someone who speaks English with him now. Even if Nakazawa is a dirty pervert.
Your psyched feeling probably wont last long.
I don't remember the WWE nWo angle lasting a tremendously long time, they pretty much burn out after WrestleMania 18. Ironically WWE knew when to kill off the nWo, unlike WCW
Did we ever get a proper DX vs nWo feud out of that? All I remember is
HBK defecting

Reigns/Cena should form a tag team called Ultimate Heat
The WWE version of the nWo couldn't last because a certain guy couldn't lay off the bottle.
That girl on the outside wear the same attire as Beth Phoenix?

The pop for Sasha was something ... And by that I mean nothing. It's like they didn't realize who it was.
Also how is Paige still around?

Continuing my Money in the Bank watch. The ladder match was an entertaining, somewhat by-the-numbers affair.
Did I talk about Cena/Styles? It was pretty good. Not as good as I was expecting, though. Cena loudly talks about the match during the match, which is kind of lame. Finish was unsatisfying.
Rusev has a GREAT look right now. Amazing. I thought he was trash when I first saw him two years ago or whatever. He's really, really good. Dude should probably be the top heel.

We need a WWE Network show about Ibushi. That man is never getting signed though.

Ibushi would turn down winning the WWE WHC against Brock Lesnar in the WrestleMania main event if he could instead fight a giant fly in Kaiju Big Battel.
That spear-into-pedigree wasn't great. I'm pretty sure I saw at least one of you saying it was the best pedigree ever. Pssshhh. It was okay.
Dean's cash-in was great. He handled it perfectly. I know some of you hate his goofy character, but he came off as intense and serious during the cash-in. Quality stuff. Happy for the guy.

Sad to hear that Kota Ibushi has fucked himself out of a huge opportunity, maybe he can get it together and earn a reprieve into the CWC.
Wyatt got them to chant against the New Day just like that, so good.
Xavier completely forgetting himself and completely going into a trance after his shtick might mean that this feud will actually be the beginning of serious New Day.
One can hope.

Sign Ibushi and have him bring back the Hardcore title, 24/7 rules - then do all his crazy shit like starting matches outside the arena, wrestling in forests and shooting fireworks at people. Idiot Ibushi is best Ibushi.
Actually it couldn't last because Stone Cold wouldn't do the job and Vince refused to keep Hogan as a heel
Yeah that pissed me off. To be honest I feel like New Day has jumped the shark, their act is too over the too and stale at this point.

Yeah it really redeemd itself. I feel like the crowd is really coming around to them. What was interesting was Byron saying he's never seen a crowd so captivated by a wrestler and I just made me scratch my head.
It seemed relatively quiet to me given how long she's been out of the view of the audience

That's why he's a great character. The man is insane in the best way possible.
Imagine a Taker that could actually cut promos, and really really good promos at that.
That could be Bray but he needs to start being protected in matches NOW.
Ibushi is like indie Inoki - certifiably insane but also a wrestling genius who knows how to draw a crowd.
Luckily Ibushi didn't nearly kill DDT.

I reminded myself that early on the WWF did struggle with Taker a bit.
