God Sunflower, it's both hilarious and glorious to see the Nintendo people still trying to envelope themselves in denial even after their favorite company waved the white flag on the handheld gaming market.

Morning, guys. Happy St. Patrick's Day. Why didn't Sheamus return last night? Would have been near-perfect timing.
I figured he'd come out during the Battle Royale segment and eliminate Show and Mark Henry.

Maybe they're saying that for Mania. I figure he has to be in that thing.

Just caught up on the second half of Raw. Lol at Heyman saying Brock is going to give Roman a "prison beating". I am getting a strong sense that Brock is going to retain at WM.

Also that was a decent promo by Reigns. No stutter and seemed to believe in himself for once. Getting better.
 
Hopefully Sting continues to grow his hair until next Wrestlemania. Can the Undertaker even grow his hair back? I'd like to see the long haired dead man, instead of whatever he's been doing for the past two years.

I guess I should look at Gaming-side. Did Nintendo do something today?

I just watched the wwe.com highlights of Stinger teaming up with RKO, Sunflower, and it felt like he was seconds away from saying "it's showtime folks" and calling HHH a big ole nasty booger. Stinger is so corny.

They're doing some smartphone games.

Is that it? Who cares? Let them make money.

They teamed up? More evidence we should be seeing Surfer Sting.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We should spend the day acknowledging our favorite Irish wrestlers not named Sheamus.

Stang and HHH should will the best entrances. Don't disappoint me!

Also, Reigns should have to walk all the way down from the high sections.

Has anyone ever seen any of Virgil's pre-Virgil stuff when he was Soul Train Jones? I haven't, but I'm curious.

Who rocked a suit the best on Raw?

27% Rusev

15% Triple H

14% Stephanie McMahon

8% Paul Heyman

3% Kane

3% J&J Security

19% Michael Cole, Booker T & JBL

12% Rusev's lawyer

Virgil makes me sad because despite having characters before and after the gimmick, he will always be Virgil to the dwindling amounts of people who are aware of his existence. I would love to make a documentary about this, about what life is like for him under these circumstances, framed against that infamous picture of "Wrestling Superstar Virgil." I would call it 30 Years a Slave.

A champion who dresses sharply, fights for his people and never gives up vs a bully who dresses way to young for his age in jorts.

I've seen a highlight reel set to music - it was just him doing an Apollo Creed gimmick, which for Memphis, was astonishingly contemporary.

Sounds fun.

Well now that Sling is on the Bone I signed up, ready to watch Lucha Underground like a good person.

Orton/Rollins and the IC ladder match will probably be good.

Both have been written terribly though, Orton/Rollins are overcoming terrible writing because the crowd are too invested into their program (kinda like Bryan last year). & regarding the IC ladder match, just watch last week's Smackdown segments.

Both should be phenomenal in the ring though, if Vince is smart he won't put any of those two matches before the main event. if you look at it another way though, he can be smart & put those two matches right before the main event consecutively, that way the crowd would be too tired to shit on that match lol.
 
Remember when we thought that Daniel Bryan vs. Dolph Ziggler or Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus at WrestleMania was a possibility? How I yearn for those halcyon days, where we'd get a singles match instead of this ladder match clusterfuck.

I'm really really sick of WWE doing PPV matches before the PPV... like, i'm 90% sure we'll get a full 20min Orton vs Rollins match next week. This week we had a tag team shenanigans with everyone involved in the ladder match

it diminishes the importance of the PPV matches

And at the same time.

"Where is Brock? Where is Stang? Where is Taker?"

Sure..it's about balance.

I would much rather have this ladder match rather than having to deal with Bryan vs Sheamus yet again.

We all know this ladder match is best for business.

Remember how people complained that there was no MITB on Wrestlemania?

I feel like this ladder match could be the start of a new tradition. It would elevate the IC title and make you feel like people want to have it going into Mania.

God I hope not, there's too much hatred on that feud to be booked like that, that feud needs to end in a street fight/last man standing/hell in a cell match, not being wasted on Raw main events.

they can brawl if they want, cut promos, blow up limos backstage... that's how stories used to progress

I'm hoping for next weeks Raw Bray goes out to find Undertaker grave, Digs it out....and bring it to Mania to resurrect him.

"ARIIIIIIISE!!" maniacal laugh*

Well, incomprehensible 15 minute promo that goes nowhere and does nothing and is only tolerable because Bray can deliver promos well, but yeah, sure.
