Seth Rollins winning is so boring. I would have had Demon Finn come out at 30 and win it. They should have had the women's Rumble last. Becky is just a bigger deal and more over than anything they could have done with the men's Rumble. They also should have taken a few matches off of the show so some of the filler wasn't in the men's Rumble.

Anyone that is interested, the new digital version of Shonen Jump is $1.99 a month. It gets you access to the ongoing series as they release and a lot of archives. You are limited to 100 chapters a day. There is a shit ton of content like the entire run of One Piece available though.

I would rather watch a shitty single cam indy show than anything WWE related at this point.

Second this and @SomethingSavage it's written by Jonathan Hickman.

I have one for @Grimmas because he appreciates some ridiculous shit. DDT Empty Arena Match Minoru Suzuki vs. Shinshiro Takagi. You don't even have to watch the whole thing, which is awesome, just watch it for the entrances and Aja Kong doing the National Anthem.

I had the same reaction to Wrestle Kingdom. It's amazing how refreshing it to watch something without the cut away shots and angle change every 5 seconds and to actually have some different angles used.

I believe the first episode they had on that Collection was the post Survivor Series 1990 episode. I remember that Undertaker was still Cain the Undertaker on his first appearance or two when I watched those.

It 100% is. PCO became relevant by being PCO. He could have made a real splash by showing up and challenging for the belt almost immediately. Now he's part of a stable that probably won't catch on because their TV is dull as hell.

I knew they would find a way to squander PCO.

Gargano/Ciampa has been a weaker match each time out. The Wile E Coyote ending to the Brooklyn match just killed it. It's like they booked it backwards after the first match.

Could you imagine having this roster at your disposal and then building your flagship show around Baron Corbin?

I liked their match against Chaos as well. Taichi nailing Yano with the turnbuckle pad cracked me up.

Nothing mind blowing in the World Tag League so far but almost all of the matches have been fun. Rooting for Juice/Finlay and Tencozy even though I doubt either team wins.

Listening to Jake Roberts talk about his recovery on Rogan. It really needs to be that DDP is really a good human being for what he did.

If you want a good street level book, try the Immortal Iron Fist by Ed Brubaker and Matt Fraction. Good stuff, just look up a reading guide because you need to mix in a few one shots.

His Spider-Man is ground breaking compared to superheroes of the time. And The Thing is really a remarkable character for the time. He's one of the most human characters you will find at the time.

I read through most of 1960s Marvel about a decade ago now. It's hard to appreciate because his writing is so outdated but he wrote some amazing comics for the time. Amazing Spider-Man with him at the helm still holds up as a great comic book today.

I'm watching November to Remember 1998 for a podcast review. Wow, do I fucking hate this show. Every match is just filled with outside BS, it's ridiculous.

It's not a great match and probably not even a good match. But the Hogan vs. Sting match from Bound For Glory is shockingly fun and well done when you take into account Hogan couldn't really bump for it. The post match is also great as Hogan brings the house down.

New Japan and Impact have been absolutely awesome this year. PWG has felt like its having a down year. RoH and WWE are absolute train wrecks. WWE is having a historically bad year booking wise. But New Japan has been great on the big shows. I would argue Dominion was an all time great show. The G-1 was really good this year as well. Impact has also been a compelling weekly product for about 9 months now.

Yeah. get paid millions to show up 4 times a year and do shitty 2 minute matches. He's got a scam going that can't be beat.

I was on a podcast when they announced Lesnar vs. Braun and my first reaction was "They're putting the belt on Lesnar and they're going to make Braun look like a total bitch in the process". The other guys said no way, that would be the dumbest thing they could possibly do. I've found betting on them to do the dumbest thing imaginable is the safest money. They have absolutely ruined Braun though. The last 3 months have cooled him off a lot.

If Impact even did a single thing that was on this show it would be endless LOLTNA.

He got squashed like a bug and they'll just job him at Mania. Seriously fuck this company.

Yeah. I'm done with modern WWE for awhile with the Universal Title result.
