Agreed on the Cillizza thing btw.
My thoughts on this, I've pretty much expanded on more times than I can count, so I'll just do a brief summary here:
NXT's 1 hours weekly, with 2 hour Takeovers every quarter added in. The work that goes into that is minuscule and easy in comparison to 3 hour Raws and 2 hour SDs weekly, minimum 1 3 hour PPV every month, and the occasional 4-6 hour Rumble/Summerslam and annual 6+ hour Mania added in to that
HHH and Steph are also still very much into the "I want to be part of the product" deal, and there's no confidence that fades away if they get full power instead of the mere lot of power they currently have while wanting to be involved with the on-screen product. Say what you want about Vince, he knew when nobody wanted to see him, has rarely ever been on TV the last few years because of that, and would have never let himself win the Rumble and world title simultaneously, or demanded to have screeching promos where he berates the whole roster then slaps an announcer backstage 20 times for no reason and with no retaliation (seriously I don't have it but someone post that gif of Steph slapping that guy and try to defend that even under the guise of Story)

Watching BritWres bury 5 * on Twitter has been very fun. If they manage to actually broadcast a show, I can't wait to see the card they string together.
Despite the label saying not to use it for the recovery of fluids, I've always found Lucozade to be amazing when trying to recover /rehydrate / not feel like death warmed up.
Yeah except the thing he did should be viewed as a face turn, or even more appropriately, a swerve

5 * has to be one of the carniest indies I've seen in a while. This stuff's somehow coming close to overshadowing TNA's recent woes

Jake Roberts is doing an AMA right now. He says he is actually scared of snakes. Also came across this gem:
Question:
What were the behind the scenes like in your feud with Rick Rude? Did you provide him a picture of your wife so he could get the airbrushed tights done? Or did he do it as a surprise to illicit some sort of real response?
Jake:
He surprised me with that, and um, he had them on and I didn't know anything about it. He went up to the Gorilla Position and he just appeared with them on and I told Vince if he wears them out there I'm ripping them off and his ass would be shown, so that's what what I did.
Roberts/Rude was awesome btw

Yup, no-one. AJ is as good as him in theory, but hasn't had the opponents to show it in 2017. Same with Nakamura, but in his case he doesn't want to as wwf is his retirement plan.
Doesn't matter whether you agree or disagree with him. The fact that he's using his own ratings to support his argument like its some sort of factual given is hilarious.
its not. it affects how much money you get and how characters talk to you also...
...
...Matt and Trey going fucking IN.
edit: oh wait you mean his hands dont change, yeah just noticed. Hopefully a work in progress thing.
During the process, South Park stalwart Eric Cartman will comment: "Don't worry, this doesn't affect combat. Just every other aspect of your whole life."
lol ;_;
What about the Super Gradez?
Yep, dudes opinion isn't a fact.
Damn, I wonder how they talk to you? Sounds like a good way of taking piss out of the shit going on.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Trying to prove a point by citing your own match ratings is pretty tone deaf.

yup I read the first page, and then the last page, and was like "wait what happened?" >_<
Can't become what you already are.
Finally caught up with Smackdown. Can Dolph Ziggler just...fuck off?

I don't think there's ever been a wrestler I've been more tired of then Ziggler.
Stick of Truth was awesome and the new one looks great as well. Not a day 1 purchase though. Releasing too close to Mario Odyssey. A Black Friday purchase for me.
Someone should bring this gimmick back and turn it up to 11. Have backstage segments where he bets on his own matches and makes all kinds of crazy prop bets with his opponents.

Friends, it would appear... that dolph zigger is an effective heel in 2017!
>calls me a mark
>watched smackdown
Did I do it right, OwensIsNow? Where are you, my sweet boy?
i think it's more that he's finally getting the x-pac heat he deserves
These are fair points. But if I'm being completely honest I'll take more on screen time of HHH than three evil foreigner heel storylines at the same time and whatever the fuck that Ellsworth/Carmella thing was on this week's Smackdown
And at least HHH isn't the kind of sexist creep Vince is.
nah he just hates mexicans

hhh being in charge will probably triple the amount of 'hhh feuds with one of his boys and fails to get them over' storylines
but that's a risk i'll take

Ziggler is working for me. I wanna see someone beat the crap out of him.
I don't want to watch him "Get his comeuppance" or even perform. I'm not hating him, I'm just bored and want him to go away.
