Not bad enough to prevent him from having a few really solid to great matches. There's bad, and there's bad. Last night was the latter. I'd argue he's the only Shield guy who has palpably regressed as an in-ring performer since they broke up. My gut says he's just kind of lazy without driven guys like Roman and Rollins there to light a fire under him.
No for those last two. nWo vs. WCW is the only not-great match that's worth it for the storytelling/finish.

Fuck I just realize typing Del Rio wrestling 3 times meaning he beats Rome. Lol me!!
I may need to stop listening to them at the gym
I was listening to their backlash 2000 review and they started doing austin impressions for like 3 straight minutes. was never so close to bursting out with laughter at the gym. literally had to stop and pause that cast or risk embarrassment.

you are aware that the Meltz himself gave Shawn/Taker HIAC 97 a 5 star rating? It would be his last 5 star WWE match until... Punk vs. Cena in 2011!
Also, Rock vs. Austin at X7 was like the final, perfect battle between the two greatest stars in the history of THIS BUSINESS to cap off the greatest, hottest era in the history of THIS BUSINESS. Watching it brings a tear to my eye. We'll never see anything like it ever again, brother.
We can confirm that Zach is a harsher critic of wrasslin than Dave Meltzer. God damn son.

Ambrose has mid carditis. Should have pulled the trigger on him last year.
When I watch Ambrose wrestle now it looks like he's just going through the motions. It's not fun to watch. Not sure what's going on with him but I certainly hope something changes.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
They haven't set a New Day match but New Day vs. Usos is pretty much a lock I would think. So I would imagine it goes like this:
Del Rio v. Reigns
Ambrose v. Owens
Winner v. Reigns
Wyatts v. Takerkane
Paige v. Charlotte
Jobber Survivor Series Match Made Up On SmackDown
New Day v. Usos

HES THE LUNATIC FRINGE MAGGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Everyone has midcarditis. Except for Roman who has the unfortunate condition of being "the next face of the company" post John Cena, which is terminal with no known cure.
idk what you guys are talking about I gave the match a watch and thought it was an interesting, different and engaging little TV bout. Lots of grappling, Dolph being more low key than usual, a really nice finish. Definitely not Cesaro TV match tier but that's not what they were trying to achieve. All Ambrose has to do is drop the rebound portion of his lariat and stop doing dives.
If you wanna talk about someone who hasn't had it in the ring for a long time

Cesaro has a fire under his ass, except no one in the back cares

I don't know, they just need to figure out how to get faces over without making them heels or heels that are just faces by fiat.
Go on.

There is literally no reason that Cesaro shouldn't be in Del Rio's spot right now. Zero, nil nada. Even if Cesaro had the same disastrous creative that Del Rio has right now, that has never stopped him putting on incredible matches and for midcard titles right now, that is good enough.
Fucking hell WWE.

If Cesaro wants an interesting, charismatic character to get over, he's gonna have to do it himself. It seems like every interview I read about the really popular guys, they mostly got over on their own. The New Day basically said on their Table for 3 that they just lobbied to do all the shit they're doing now over and over until eventually Vince gave in and let them.
And as for comparing him to Del Rio, I don't think its even close. Whether or not Del Rio's putting on phoned in matches with an insanely dumb gimmick, this is all overshadowed by the fact that Del Rio is capable of more than one facial expression.

Has WrassleGAF ever had its own podcast?
Ambrose's gimmick is doing a really shitty 80s Funk impression without being near as over and not being anywhere as menacing as late 80s-early 90s Funk
And before you try to say Ambrose is over, you have to understand how over 80s Funk was
why do that when he can just make passive aggressive tweets and wear insider smarky t-shirts instead?
because that will get vince's attention

Vince McMahon, JamieOD and Bootay are the only possible hosts
Dude that would be awesome! PM me the deets!
To be fair Hacksaw is more over than anyone on the roster right now except maybe Daniel Bryan.

Cesaro needs the Smark gimmick where he grabs the mic and just starts dropping carny lingo rants on Kevin Dunn without any explanation to the casual crowd who Kevin Dunn is or what the hell "putting someone over" is.
Hacksaw was WAY more over than Daniel Bryan
Hacksaw was, unfortunately, more over than anyone not named Hulk Hogan
Don't get an Xbone controller, it's usb port is a flimsy piece of shit that'll die from dropping 2 inches
Professional wrestling isn't a meritocracy based on how good your wrestling matches are. It's not a real sport. It's not even a sport. It's a soap opera. Having incredible matches is good enough to make someone a background supporting actor, like one of the random assistant DAs on Law and Order SVU. If you're not entertaining in any other capacity and don't show promise of being more than that, that's all it gets you.
Is there a wireless adapter for PC yet?
Lol are you suggesting Hacksaw would have been capable of popping a stadium of 70,000?

It makes me laugh just a little how much smarks tend to drift into full-on mark territory sometimes. Like when the Undertaker lost to Lesnar and a bunch of people started questioning whether the finish was on purpose or not, as though the ref is actually counting out finishes and doesn't know the outcome of the match.
I wasn't looking forward to that contract-signing segment, but it ended up being...half-decent. Certainly the best Charlotte's been promo-wise since she joined the main roster.
A bunch of good matches in the rest of the show however, bookended by a pointless Taker/Wyatt segment and two average bouts.
Also: With the silence at the beginning and the extended Undertaker entrance, does this come close to a record of longest time between the show starting and someone not on commentary speaking?
