Thoughts on todays wrasslin' news.

If Triple H has done another and somewhat smoothed things over between WWE and Owen Hart's wife to the point both parties can work together then thats amazing. All shouldnt be forgiven but if WWE can make a Owen documentary and a HOF induction then then well done.
I guessed something was up when they mentioned Owen during the KOTR recently.

Bill Demott is a total dipshit.

Its a real bummer if Itami and Zayn are out for months. I guess Balor would be pushed right to the NXT main event now?

New Tough Enough seems like it will be shite.

GFW is a trainwreck already.

I should really buy JTG's ebook.

I sure hope so. Owen is easily in my top 5 favorite things so far in the WWE from 96 to 98. I'm going to be pretty sad when he stops showing up on these Raws and PPVs on the Network. When I saw he'd be 50 today really put in it context - dude could be on the tail end of an amazing career right now. Austin put him over real strong on his podcast with HHH hope he jumps in for some stuff around the DVD/HoF stuff.

Well this would be the moment of truth for Balor if he really has "It" like people think he does. If he can put NXT on his back alongside Owens and carry it for the half year then I guess yeah, he's the guy. I'm not so convinced even if I love him as a wrestler and an Irish lad done good.

The past couple of months for NXT are the very definition of hard times:

Loss of Neville and Lucha Dragons to the main roster.

Potential of loosing Charlotte to the main roster.

Sami Zayn potentially lost to the main roster and injured for an unknown time.

Hideo Itami out for six months.

Kevin Owens recovering from an injury, should be back soon.

Farts has to be the best/worst ongoing topic on the Austin podcast this year. Joking about Court's dog being on PEDs was also a golden segment.

Watch the NXT injuries will be used to bump HHH out of power and Vince finally hads full control to the man he has always wanted to give control of the company.

I went to the local toys r us while i was on break and walked the aisles out of curiosity. I thought, 'surely they still sell wrestling toys', but I found nothing. I had to actively seek them out as they were on the backside of the very last aisle where they keep like the shitty 'doesn't have a tv show or video game' type toys. And it was only one block of that aisle. And all the figures were of Rey Mysterio, CM Punk, and Alberto Del Rio. There was one peg of TNA toys and they were all Hernandez. There was also a bunch of framed pictures of John Cena. It wasn't a clock or anything, they just thought framed pictures of John Cena was a good toy. Meanwhile, TMNT has two aisles, Star Wars has an aisle and an island and Marvel has an aisle and an island.

Wrestling isn't just cooked, friends. It's Kilt.

I remember years back I would walk in Toys R Us and see championship belts. Did you see any at all?

Nope. They had a bunch of Razor figures down low that no one was buying though.

And holy shit the price of the shitty legacy Power Rangers toys was ridiculous. 15 dollars for these GI Joe quality figures.

I never really bought any wrestling stuff growing up.

I think I got 3 autographs from a friend and I bought a Austin hat in WWE Niagara Falls

I think everyone should do a cursory search of their neighborhood toy aisle and report back with the health of the wrestling toy stock, and the worst wrestling-related item they can find.

#Safe practice: Don't loiter, try to appear lost. If you're seen, let it be known that you're shopping for a small child.

If an employee asks if you need help, make sure to ask where the Skylanders or Disney Infinity stuff is.

So its more socially acceptable to be looking for small children than be a sports entertainment fan?

Then now's the perfect time for WWE to do their own version.

The highest selling toys in Christmas 1992 were those old WWF action figures.

No wonder Vince doesn't want to move on. And those toys were the same quality as those Legacy Power Rangers. And they were 7 dollars.

If you really want to play it safe, you act familiar with John Cena but not entirely sure what he looks like.

'Oh John Cena, I've heard of him.'

Wow, that's going to be hard to top. Fingers crossed for a dusty Gangrel or Mr. Ass.

Wii U is the only console I see myself putting any time into for the rest of the year. Everything else is handhelds or PC if I got time at home.
