I think Luger's 1997 alone let's him breeze ahead of Orton. I mean even obvious failures on top like Tenzan didn't fail as many times or for as long as Orton. I think the main challenge for Orton's title is going to be Seth Rollins. His run as champion tanked ratings to historic lows and his 2 year program with HHH got no heat at all. But he's a HHH guy so we're going to be doomed with him kicking around the top of the card for another decade.

If it is a work, that's a really fucking shitty thing to pull after Honma's injury last month.

I know people that watch all the TV and PPVs of just WWE and don't branch out or go online. But they watch more than I do because I just find the WWE to be tedious now. So it's kind of weird because I would say I'm a more hardcore fan even though I probably digest less wrestling content on a weekly basis.

I try every couple of months to get back into the TV but I always seem to hit those, showing some house show for a month straight because they didn't feel like doing better or what I was tuning in to check out because I got interested in an angle hasn't hit TV yet and won't for a few more weeks.

That's true but they've shown an inability to get the right guys or to get them over the hump if they do get them. I really did love the RoH product in 2014 and through most of 2015. It's what frustrates me so much with the current product. They can do better and just refuse to go outside of the box.

The thing with that number is TNA drew 10k for that one Lockdown PPV and were getting thrown off Spike a year later. It's cool that they drew that many people but that doesn't mean they're headed to a good place.

It really should be 5 hours max. I don't know how people sat through that show. I start to fidget after 3 hours of anything.

The bloat would eventually set in with a 2 days show. So instead of 7-8 hours one day you would end up with 6+ hours over 2 days.

You should rewatch the first Star Trek movie with the idea that Chris Pine is doing a loving tribute to Shatner's Kirk and you'll like it better.

I agree that he has his ups and downs. But they've done a lot to damage him. He's probably still more over than Reigns or Rollins despite the damage they've done to him with bad booking.

Reigns is the best ex Shield by by many miles that's for sure. I would still say Ambrose. He just isn't protected like the other two.

I will defend Reigns slightly and say he isn't the failure that Seth Rollins is.

Reigns really reminds me of how they treated Randy Orton. Constantly pushed but a fairly consistent failure as the guy. I know Vince wants to make his last star but this is the third Mania Reigns has headlined and it doesn't feel like they've made much progress with him.

So where do you even go with Randy Orton as champion?

I think Fish is leaving too. I joke about it but you're going to be getting Bully Ray vs. Jack Swagger main events at this rate.

I think this is fairly irresponsible behavior in Dave's part. Mental illness is a nasty place to be and it could easily be irrelevant what JBL did or didn't do. Sometimes your brain just gets the better of you and it's no one's fault it happened.

Yeah, it's poor value. There's far more bang for your buck out there.

They really love overcharging for those shows don't they? You lose a lot of impulse buyers at $30.

I think if you're Sinclair that this is the best time to sell if you're considering it. Wait another 6-12 months and WWE might be able to buy it for pennies on the dollar considering how they're bleeding talent right now.

This is more like leaving a $100 sitting on your car seat and leaving the door unlocked.

CWF worldwide is the answer, either that or old NWA wildside NWA Anarchy is extremely compelling television but I don't know where you would find it anymore.

I would argue he had more charisma in OVW.
