In that cam footage of Balor and Itami's match you can see a WWE cameraman outside the ring, so I'm guessing we see footage in some form. It would be cool if we get some of it on the network, but if they start putting up too much NXT content it could burn people out. NXT is what it is right now because they leave you wanting more.

I did, I enjoyed it. It's fun.
If "it's not real" is our standard, why are we watching Mania?
I don't expect them to put house shows up, but this tournament would have made sense. I mean people follow NXT and probably want to see this. I mean it's important for NXT and Wrestlemania.
That's not what I said. I said kayfabe analysis and predictions are bullshit. I just can't take it. Nothing about it is interesting or fun. These guys suck and for the most part people know what's really up.
To hopefully see good matches? I'd watch it just to see Booker get to be entretaining for a few hours, but the kayfabe analysis does come off pretty silly.

Well depending on how bad I fuck up my sleep pattern, I'll be there for HOF/WM/Raw after.
I agree. Kayfabe commentary or analysis is really dumb. I mean, what's the point of it?
That was worth watching.
That and Flair shooting
I want a Champions triple threat match after wrestlemania
Have the WWE, Intercontinental and US champ fight for a bit.
Would be cool. Maybe have H call them into the ring one by one, all holding their respective belts over their heads, then the brawl start, and everyone holds their own pretty well, of course the WWE champ would win tho, but it would be very close

Poor Mick
Do this at Night of Champions, but have a 3 falls match. Have IC champ become WWE and US champ, US champ become IC, and Roman Reigns can go home.
See: If this is the Reigns that exists outside of scripting; I get why WWE is so high on him

This is looking more and more like micromanaging is killing Reigns' personality more than anything else.

He's a nice guy, but I'm not seeing much of an interesting persona here though. We need over the top charismatic guys.

Yeah he is quite boring.

Wai ting's sunny story was great
I actually like the subdued nature of him in comparison to Cena; he seems like a good 1B to Cena's 1A over-the-top ness.
Also...that Heyman line. So sooo good. That man is unbelievable.
I mean, was there any doubt that he is a good looking, well presented guy?
But I'm a consumer of their product. And, for me, he does nothing to me. And it's all that matters. If he is a nice guy or not it's irrelevant.

Will Nerd Chat be renting a cam girl to perform during the pre-show?
Sunny?
I fucking love Axel so much and I never thought those words would come out of my mouth.
That was worth watching.

I forget who likes Dump here.
EDIT: Oh shit, there's a Milano Collection too:
I've also seen Tensai, Umaga, and a slightly racist Amazing Kong too.

Tommy End is awesome, friends;
And not just because he kicks people really hard;
Doesn't everyone like Dump? But I'm pretty sure you mean Data West, I guess he's our resident Dump fanboy.

Good to see Tommy doing well.
Speaking of the WrestleMania Today show, I'm still legit pissed at Miz for that brutal burial of Graves. That's cold as fuck burning him on the fact he'll never wrestle again. Graves just looked devastated and had no comeback, just softy laughed and said "that's right, that's right."

Is there a video of that?
That just seems so evil. Especially since Graves clearly loves wrestling and it's not like he had a choice. Fuck Miz.
That's not the first time that happened. Didn't Riley say the same shit?

Yeah, Riley was similarly shitty to Graves his first night on commentary.
I mean; it's what matters to me as a consumer of their product, though. Same reason I like D-Bry; he seems like a genuine dude who is just having a blast kicking people's butts.
That's just me, though.

Axel looks huge next to Miz in that pic.
I guess some Dead Rising direct to internet movie came out today, the ads are all over the gaf front page.

If you have WWE Network watch WrestleMania Today and skip to where they have Miz and Mizdow on.
I get the feeling Graves is a hardworking but just an overly nice guy that doesn't do a great job at defending himself from some of the harsher politics that goes on in the biz. It looks like from the outside that some of the other guys see him as an easy target. Seeing he's still somewhat fresh to it all I'm sure he'll learn how to handle that kind of stuff a lot better as time goes on.

No, we don't play into cishet stereotypes.
I'm really curious to see how Itami is going to get booked on Sunday. Unfortunately I think he has zero chance of getting an actual push when he gets to the main roster but I'm curious and carefully optimistic.
Dealing with those kind of comments is something he shouldn't have to do.

I hate how they have to try and put reasons on everything, like D-Bry and Dolph can't just wrestle to see who the best is etc.
"YOU KNOW WHAT IS INTERESTING? THE INTERCONTINENTAL BELT IS THE ONLY ONE DANIEL BRYAN HASN'T WON DESPITE WINNING MORE IMPORTANT THINGS ALREADY SO HE'S SO DESPERATE TO WIN IT! SERIOUSLY GUYS!!"
What, has he got like a Pokedex for titles or something and needs this one to complete it?

Taker/HHH at WM17 too.
Graves is the closest thing they've had to a prodigy as an announcer.
What's the story behind this?
Unfortunately it seems like part of the culture in WWE.
It was supposed to be HHH vs Shawn Michaels, but then Shawn (who was still full on drug addict at the time) showed up to an event and passed out in Vince's office in a painkiller haze. Vince was pissed and fired him on the spot, and Michaels also lashed out at HHH and didn't speak to him for a year (after he had gotten clean and Nash told him to make up with HHH).
And it was HHH trying to bring Michaels back to help him out that had him at the event in the first place.
