Pop up powerbomb had been fairly well protected. I'm all for finishers to be a thing of the past, but only if we go the full distance to letting people get pinfalls after all sorts of moves.

This makes me laugh every time, coming from the mark who worked himself into a shoot.
Him, Seth, Dean, Cesaro, Owens
I like Owens theme

HHH believes everyone needs him and they'll always come back if they leave him

Had to re watch the Enzo & Cass match. The Cass boot was awesome. Took out either a tooth or gum right out.

You're better off dead with that logic. He makes no one look great and we could've done without him. Shane Douglas could've replaced him and it would be the same(considering they're both the same person).

Is it test Esq?
The Rock may have lost all of his fake wresting matches but compared to HHH he won real life.
I mean look back at the Rock's championship run in 99 and 2000. They fucking wanted to make Billy Gunn a main eventer and refused to get the rock a fucking big win.
One thing you have to give Austin credit is that he wanted to put the rock over at the end.
I mean Austin's last fucking match and he almost died the night before and he still wanted to pay the rock back.
HHH would have pulled a HBK and "injured" himself before mania.

Him vs Sting accomplished nothing except putting him over. 3H had to become champion in order to make Roman look good. I can never understand that.

Owen is just fine, and Seth's isn't that bad.
Anderson/Gallows have hands down the worst theme right now. Apollo Crews might have the best.

The Rock is one of those wrestling legends where his name just commands respect. Kinda like how Flair used to.
Ah yeah that one is fairly protected.
I'm actually in the pro-finisher camp.
Say what you will about 80's wrestling, but it was cool knowing that it was all but over with a finisher, and being shocked when someone kicked out.
With the talent of today's wrestlers, I think it'd be cool if we went back to super protected finishers and they can just learn new moves or signatures to spice it up. Instead of the spam fest that we have now.

It's sad when Shawn comes back and even he didn't like the way Hunter did a few things. I forgot what the match was on Raw but Shawn thought someone should've won over him but Hunter and Vince said otherwise. It was Edge before he was leaving for Smackdown to win the title and he just shook his head. But that shit he pulls has ruined the business imo or helped ruin it. Don't bring your stupid fucking family into the business especially when you're going to focus on specifically putting them over.
And still accomplished nothing, they just hated the guy they were supposed to love even more.

So The Seth thing is why I pay 10 bucks for the netwrok. Good stuff.
Do you guys get the feeling that he really doesn't like taking pics or signing shit for fans tho?

What segment failed me last night was the Steph lashing out on Charlotte. I was expecting Charlotte having to go through a gauntlet of matches just for punishment.

Yep. The weirdest part to me is how the people who talk about these things so intensely don't see they're the biggest marks in the world. They discuss wrestling like children who take it way too seriously, except they should be old enough to know better.

I was so sure Rollins was getting a huge face push when he returned. All the mistakes they made during his title reign could have basically been undone. But they're literally continuing where they left off before the injury. I don't get it.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Meltzer and Alvarez really hated that segment because they were upset that the previous plotline was that Charlotte was cheating by relying on her father, so they didn't understand why Steph would be mad at her for it, but I think they're wrong. The point of it was to make Charlotte look like an asshole by firing a guy who completely does cheat (but also can't be booed because he's Ric Flair), and she did look like an asshole.
The point was to separate her from Flair, while still holding the title, without her actually turning face. I personally think it works better from that perspective to not give Charlotte a logical reason to fire Ric (e.g. he tried to interfere and fucked it up).
I agree, but it also seems pretty apparent that Vince is straight up trolling the crowd with it, so at least in theory (obviously this isn't always true) there should be a payoff for it.
Steph is turning face because her book is coming out

Teddy Hart is such a character

That wasn't their point. Their point was that they brought in Dr. Phil, Becky, Natalya, etc. who were all pushing for Charlotte to dump Ric because he was a bad influence (turning her heel). The point wasn't to establish Steph as a face (at least not really), it was to reiterate that Charlotte was still a heel even though she fired Ric (because the previous implication was that she was only heel because Ric was there, which is actually true - she turned heel when Ric showed up).
It's not like Charlotte ist going to stop cheating, she's just going to have Dana do the cheating instead of Ric.
Why waste it on the return when they can do it like they did with the swerve-ish Rollins.
When he turns a few months from now the pop will dwarf his return
Goldberg was in 2k14, though
He meant one of these deals like sting, warrior, Tyson, etc where it's a major marketing push for the game.
Which means Goldberg will be doing interviews and promos for a WWE product

I'd lay heavy odds on Styles tapping out to an STF at some point in the next ~2 months or so.
