I'm always a mark for Liger.

Watching last night's Smackdown... I'm amazed at how ridiculously good Jericho keeps getting. And Miz killed it too. Are there any good past Jericho heel runs I should be aware of?

Check out some of his WCW stuff.

Sandow is released? Fuck this shit.

2008 (I think) Jericho is him at his peak. Check out his matches with HBK from that era, particularly the ladder match.

His feud with HBK is great.

Nice, I'll check this one out.
Despite all the fuckery, I'm enjoying the current intercontinental situation. All of these guys are doing great work.

His run leading up to becoming the first undisputed champion (its still pretty nuts to think they had him beating both Rock and Austin in the same night) and then being champ was fun... while it lasted. That WM match with HHH is still ugh.

The intercontinental and the tag team are really great. I have high hopes for the U.S. belt to be good with Rusev.

The silver lining is no more RAGE!
As for Sandow, I don't know if he can increase his value in places like ROH or NJPW. Would love to be proven wrong, but he's not an amazing in-ring worker and I don't know if his character can get as over or if he can use it at all.

Michael Cole isn't the best but his back and forth with King is great. He sure knows how to take a beating.

After the whole Daniel Bryan situation, trying to spin a concussion as being a good thing is real fucking stupid.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Oh come on guys, don't be pedantic and pretend to not know what Bronx-Man obviously meant. Its disengenuous as hell.

Serious nut job Al Snow is the greatest thing since sliced apples. That's a guy you should be afraid of.

I wouldn't put Micheal Cole in the top 1000 announcers in wrestling history. And I dont think there have been 1000 all together.

Time for some Nitro.
Here is the problem with Cole: Name me his top called segments or top matches?
He stays silent during segments because Vince cares about his scripts and his matches...
I mean he might have 1 with Brock vs Eddie but that's it.
And him shooting on the company when Bryan retired.
i like this opinion

"Best thing" is a bit much. But I've really liked how Cass has handled things solo. And the Vaudevillains certainly got themselves some serious heat. But then again, if you need to give another wrestler a concussion to get heat, that's probably not a sustainable game plan. Hopefully once is all that's necessary.
On the plus side, we get to see Nakamura beat the shit out of Riley as a parting gift.

SAY IT TO HIS FACE!
Don't really get upset about wrestlers getting released, but Sandow hurt. Could (arguably should) be an upper mid-carder at the moment.
It was all downhill once he lost to Cena, for whatever reason.

Help please. There were gifs in the last year is like to find or at least the wrestler.
It was a European or British guy, small stature, and was good at getting out of holds in interesting ways like spinning on his head and stepping through opponents arms to break handholds.

I'd agree well except the real life concussion part. Someone smart enough in creative should've went down this path with a fake Enzo injury, getting Big Cass some mic time and revenge, and the Vaudevillians gloating about what they did. Hopefully on Raw they retaliate and jump Big Cass to show they are still a threat 2 vs 1. And of course to end with a big pop for Enzo's return.

When they tell wrestlers to just be themselves, the Godfather took it too serious.
His best work is on Smackdown with Taz apparently. I've never seen much of that era.

They employed him for like almost 15 years

Stephanie has a crush on Angle who was boo'd and told by the crowd his match was boring two PPVs in a row.
Where's the Cena Today Show gif

My assumption is that Sandow was "over" by virtue of fans believing he wouldn't get pushed and then cheering him ironically. I don't get what his deal was supposed to be otherwise. He was a comedy jobber.

Almost as funny as the outlaws being afraid of Gerald because "he's a shooter".
