Mad Dog

I'm trying to decide if I want to try going to the Dayton show on October 24th. It would be RoH Saturday night and Chikara Sunday afternoon.

I find the Bucks to be a delight to watch and I love when they troll the shit out of Cornette on Twitter.

Feuding with Orton is the worst thing you can do period.

He seemed like he was building some real momentum when he came back in 2012 and then he started jobbing to Orton every week.

We should give Corino some credit for growing as a human being since the first RoH show though. Going from wanting the CSC gay bashed to quietly accepting Dalton Castle is huge progress.

The Authority really kind of fucks up the progression as well. If you're a heel you can only get so far unless you're a stooge for them. If you're a face you have to be feuding with them as well. The current product really reminds me of late 1998 WCW.

I'm not sure Ziggler would work on top. But people I know who are fans universally bitch about his push. I don't think it would hurt anything to try.

Eddie Guerrero kind of. Started with a big angle, mired in the mid-card, fired, came back in the mid-card and went to the top.

John Cena. Started with Jericho and Angle, got pushed down, retooled and jobbed to Rikishi a lot and then moved back up.

Yes. Rehabbing guys is fairly easy with planning and creativity. The key is they have to deliver once you start pushing them up the card again. The big problem I see in WWE is you know the second you should give up on a guy because he hit his ceiling.

Shoe, Who would you replace as the commentary team if given the choice?

They nailed Owens already. They seem he'll bent in damaging Brock as well.

There's always the Hardy Boyz nostalgia run after TNA finally dies.

I don't like him as much in Chikara but he gives guys a basket of fruit when he beats them there.

I think there would be some interest to a Sting/Lesnar or a Sting/Cena match. Moreso than HHH or Taker. I'm guessing they have a really limited number of dates in his contract.

They needed to transition him into something meaningful after the Cena feud and instead got moved into a filler feud. It feels like he's on the exact same path as Ambrose after the Rollins feud last year.

I would have had Brock/Rollins rematch here. Brock absolutely destroys Rollins and wins the Title. Then try Lesnar/Reigns again. Maybe try to get a Lesnar/Sting PPV main event out of the reign.

Kelly and Corino are idiots. He's a super charismatic baby face. He's supposed to be weird and fun. Kind of an Adam Rose done right.

I don't either. It's a total waste of Brock and I think this is going to damage him. They paid all that money to keep him and have fucked him up ever since.

It's the truth though. You can't book things and have no one with any real momentum and suddenly start pushing guys as legit threats to the top belt. If they would think things through you could always have a couple of guys around with some momentum. But they constantly cut guys off at the knees with losses at the wrong time or bad programs. Just look at the last year for Ziggler. They gave him that big moment at Survivor Series and didn't do a thing to build on that.

I want to like the Network, I really do. I have to translate New Japan World with Goggle and even then I like their set up more than the Network.

This. There are times where it seems like calling the match is the last thing in the world he wants to do.

I would take Prazak over Kelly any day of the week. And I liked Hodgewood on the HDnet shows.

I think an unconventional challenger would hurt the regular ratings. If you take Cena, Orton and Ambrose out of the equation that pretty much leaves you with Ryback, Ziggler, Cesaro and Reigns as the most credible challengers. That's not an exciting list of challengers.

They haven't done a good job with anyone that isn't Cena in a really long time. It feels like everyone is just mired in mediocrity this year.
