Too bad Dusty is dead. He and Regal were the major guns behind this and that for nxt. It's so amazing how no one knows or appreciates how much Regal has done for wrestling. He's so underrated but one day he'll get his.

Hopefully those involved with the book will do justice to what they have done.

Fucking Dolph.

I mean he's not all that wrong, the SS2014 finish was completely invalidated very quickly but I don't think anyone is going to bat for Dolph Ziggler in 2016.

NXT is gonna get awkward as fuck given that Samoa Joe and Sami Zayn are leaving given those are the only two guys who can do a promo.

Like its Austin Aries and....what?

I guess following WrestleMania Star, we have WrestleMania Sun.

I keep hoping we'll get a WM in Seattle. :( I wonder if my city has made any bids in recent history, or if Vince would even entertain the idea, considering WM 19 was the least commercially successful mains since 13.
 
So I have decided my tv has a distinct lack of Dragon Gate showing on it and I haven't seen a full show since the Toryumon and Toryumon 2000 days. Rudo Reels doesn't carry any and I'm hoping somewhere he can point me in the right direction. Mainly because of Data West and his recommendations I'm having a mini puro revival and miss the DG style.

Follow up:

I don't understand why Ziggler was popular to begin with. He was definitely some level of "over" that he definitely isn't right now, but I don't know why. Everything about him screams "average level HBK knock-off."

Goldust likes skyrim

Didn't Cody write an article for Giant Bomb completely in character as Stardust?

Imagine spending $1-2K on airfare and accommodations only for that to greet you when you arrive.

Those are dumb enough I probably wouldn't spend any money on going if I knew there was a possibility of gigantic pillars obstructing the tiny-ass ring.

Corbin's getting better. Dash and Dawson are serviceable.

Maybe, with the influx of Japanese wrestlers, we could see the return of some managers to do the talking.

With Shinsooky and Itami getting back soon, this will be awesome. And wwe will be holding two events in Japan in July so the inclusion of those two in a main even screams fucking awesome

We're approaching Wrestlemania Circle within a few iterations. Think about it:

Wrestlemania Triangle = 3 points
Wrestlemania Star = 5 points
Wrestlemania Sunburst = 10 points
Wrestlemania ????? = (20 + n) points, probably

I don't hate Ziggler, he's just.....there.

Like, giving him the pin at SS2014 was random to begin with because he always just seemed like....a guy who was on the roster who had a cool cash-in but otherwise wasn't special. He certainly doesn't seem like a guy who would get a big push or deserve one over a ton of other guys on the roster. He just seems like "guy who fills out battle royales" to me.

I think by now he's considered kind of annoying by most smarks, but I distinctly remember people wanting him to get a push a year or two back.

I had a funny conversation with my wife about a theoretical shipping pair of Eva Marie and Roman Reigns and how fans would react to their offspring
