Would be curious to hear Vita owner numbers at this con.
Kevin Owens at the store buying the suit.
I like you, Guzim.
sounds like a great opportunity to get some more Vita owners posting here.

Bringing back Boogeyman as his manager?
Yeah it was a huge momentum killer for all involved. I think its the biggest black mark against Wyatt so far. I know they didn't want to conclusively blow off Rollins/Ambrose but man, that was the worst shit. Stone Cold Ambrose needs better
I'm pretty nervous about this. Balor isn't as smooth on the mic as Owens and his gimmick could be horrifically fucked up. His non-demon character needs work as well.
Rusev can main event. He's got fantastic mic work and facials, charismatic as fuck in ring and as soon as he gets Lana back (!!!!!!) he's ready to be fed to Lesnar in some absolute slobberknockers.
Did you mark out when this happened?
He was getting hit by some asshole and defended himself. Unfortunetly made a mistake and hit the wrong guy when he was fearing for his safety. Clearly that means he is an awful person.

Super sceptical on WWE main roster creative working with Balor but maybe Triple H will look after one of his guys.
I don't want to lay it all at Wyatt's feet. Creative's direction with Ambrose has been bipolar at best--he's either a lunatic with an edge or Bugs Bunny with wacky props. Consistency's shit. And Wyatt's creative hasn't been any better--every feud since his debut has been "Rant on the mic" with no overarching direction other than what he says. Words need to be backed up with actions, but they never are. Nothing anyone does has any consequences except Brock.
I think it was Alvarez or Meltzer that said the WWE writers and Vince like writing Ambrose's goofy ass shit. It makes them laugh.
Ambrose is toast.
Maybe Ambrose and co. should grow a pair and own their characters. If something doesn't make sense, say so.
But that's not what wrestlers do nowadays, right?
He bitches about it on podcasts, that's about it. Just like these other millennials like Ziggler.
I miss Punk.
Yeah you nailed it right there. Rollins even struggles to impact the show in any significant way, he's J&J to Steph + HHH. Payback and ER were just rematch city. God knows when this will change.
If Cena wins tonight I want it to be in a pool of his own blood
Judging by his hairline, that was like 15 years ago.
he used to when it was 3 of them in the Shield. Everyone's heard the story about creative wanting to split the Shield up way earlier but they'd always go to Vince as 3 and say "no". Same to any questionable ideas.
Now that they are split up they just gotta go out and do the job. Y'all were bitching out on Cody a while back cos he was mouthing off on Twitter and was reportedly "difficult to work with backstage".

I feel Balor needs more character.
If anything, he needs less. He should be mysterious like the Undertaker. They need a new WM attraction with crazy ass entrances.
HHH probably showed Vince Kevin's shirt sales and said hands off pops, I'm about to make some real money with this fat guy. No way this is a Vince joint.
Vince definitely saw Kevin Owens eating a steak, and he thought to himself, "This is a man!"

My fiance and I are really excited for Elimination Chamber tonight. It's her first Elimination Chamber match and she gets to see two in one night.
I'm slow cooking pulled pork right now and am going to make Bacon Mac & Cheese for the viewing.

Hook my plate up, breh.
Haha...
I see people say this is how it's done, but the elephant in the room is Zach Ryder. Dude went and did something of his own volition, did what the bosses said they wanted--got over through his own ingenuity and hard work--then got hit hard. Taking to Twitter and complaining wasn't the best idea, but his greatest shot at advancement in the company just got destroyed for no good reason (and if that Vince prank story is true, they were particularly cruel about it.)
Vince says he wants people who will push back, but he's the only game in town. There's a bigger incentive now to not piss off the bosses than there was a while ago. Basically, if you want to keep your retirement plan intact, you can either suck it up and go along with whatever they say (which will likely be shit) and smile about it, or you can risk your standing backstage to try to improve things with people who've shown they don't know what they want and have huge ego issues.
there's lots that can be done with Balor character wise which is super dangerous because that means many more ways to fuck him up. I think he should just be more laid back, introverted guy who wins easy without trying against most but when really challenged will lose without going to the demon. Demon form is bad for the "real" him or something, not just a "I now kick out of your finisher" mode.
Man, he'll probably end up as a goofy Hulk "Yew woahant loike me whuen O'im angry mate".
That was the post-Monday Night Wars, pre-WWE Network dark ages of wrassle, so I can't comment on Zach Ryder.

I prefer this combination.
I like to imagine that Owens came into the kitchen area after showering and saw Vince eating his lunch and Owens smacked the sandwich out of his hand and Vince said "DO IT, DO IT, DOOO IIITTT" and then a 7 minute family guy chicken vs peter like fight broke out and after Owens powerbombs Vince through the windshield of his car Vince yells "ILL SEE YOU ON MONDAY GODDAMMIT" and then proceeded to get into the car with the broken windshield and drove home.
The Daemon Finn Balor doesn't work in today's WWE. It's as stupid as The Daemon Kane but at least Kane has the fallback of 'Well, when he did it it was a little more accepted. Still stupid though.'
Finn just looks so out of place with his dancing that anyone new to it likely thinks he's on drugs or has some mental issues. Bray's character is ridiculous, but everything he does looks like a real thing that could really exist despite his crazy swamp druids. Finn is a daemon.. but he's not? But he is? They lean way too hard with it. Finn isn't over, the body paint is.

Cena is the most notable thing to happen to the US title since...well John Cena 2004 I suppose.

Is the explanation that Bray Wyatt is Husky Harris possessed by an ancient lovecraftian elder God still canon?
I thought it was Husky Harris is going through his fedora phase.
If he's going to stick with the Demon stuff I hope he drops the dumb ass dreads.
I wonder how over the Real Rock n Rolla gimmick would be.

Even Punk said fighting against the writers / road agents is a waste of time. You might win one fight then they hate you and try to screw you over until you go crazy, no show, and join the UFC. Maybe Ambrose should start working on his Muay Thai?

I don't object to the concept of a character donning war paint to unleash a metaphorical 'demon' within himself, but it's the sort of thing that needs to be saved for the finale of a blood feud, not something trotted out on every PPV or network special. Also, for the lengths he goes to looking weird and crazy during the demon entrance itself, that never really translates to a change in demeanour for him inside the ring, or in terms of his character at large. There's no nuance to it at present, it's just a 'cool' hook to get people talking, but if they aren't careful it'll become too large of a focal point for the character.
Real Rock'n'Rolla > The Demon

If I had a billion dollars, I'd pay someone to animate that.

Still advertising Rusev for the Chamber, even though he's out.
I hope the stars align and Neville gets to pull double duty tonight.
I want Big E to win it
