Yeah, I think Test was lacking a little in charisma. I think he had some potential in 1999 but he never recovered from that HHH swerve and the injuries seemed to start piling up.

I have less time so I follow the business side less. I mean who really cares that much about ratings anymore. Though, I do find the WWE's business position to be kind of interesting as I think they are kind of in a dangerous position with how much they rely on TV money to make a profit now. Even with less time, the WWE product has just been a wealth of conversation just from a bad booking point of view the last few years that the business side is boring compared to it.

I wonder how overblown the Vince love rumors are. I don't remember Test ever getting a major push. Cass is basically Test 2.0, but at least Test had some positives going for him. He did a wedding angle with Steph and had a major match with Shane, can't get bigger pushes in Vince's mind than that. He actually delivered pretty big on the Shane match. I think it's kind of shitting on Test to compare Cass to him. Test could bust out some moves and be lead to look good before the injuries seemed to really slow him down around 2001. Cass is so bad that DB couldn't get much out of him.

I usually get home about 90 minutes before my wife does. Most weeks I devote that time to wrestling. I usually watch CWF Hollywood, RoH and NXT during the early part of the week and then hit something older on Friday and Wednesday. Weekends I might hit some more old stuff before my wife wakes up. I might also do some stuff at night. I would say 5 hours is an average week but sometimes I can get a little crazy and polish off 12 hours. Sometimes I don't watch much in a week. If my head is bothering me due to weather or a migraine I tend to keep wrestling on the back burner.

I don't know what set my wife off at one of the PPVs with the announcers but she despises Cole.

Brie is more attractive post-pregnancy than Nikki. Nikki is okay in the ring and Brie is terrible as a wrestler.

Is the Wave Network the worst deal out there as far as streaming services go?

It felt like his opinions on his own mortality changed after the double quad tear. That's about when HHH took a more active role in NXT and you could see them start developing an exit plan for Vince.

I think they will take him back eventually. I think he will need a prove it run with Impact or another company first but he moves shirts and draws ratings. There are few guys that can do that and I think they will talk themselves into it down the road if they get reports that he's behaving.

According to his lawyer he wasn't aware of the investigation. I don't know if I believe that but that I out there.

I think Enzo would need to show he can make better choices. He needs to do a year in Impact and show maturity and then I think they would consider it.

Any mention of social media in promos or by announcers should be an automatic wellness violation.

God damn Miz stealing Nakamura's gimmick...

CHIKARA Street Fight. He's got the sprinkles!!!

Look at Lesnar. Best heel promo of his career was after beating Frank Mir at UFC 100.

I also think that's why Rusev is so over right now. It feels like they conned someone into letting them write their own material.

I think my biggest issues with the promos in WWE and the announcers is that no one talks like a human being. Joe telling Brock to look at him when he's talking to him was the best thing said on a WWE program in years. That was great because it was real, it was visceral and it felt spontaneous to that moment. The problem I have is even the good talkers feel like they're reading off a script.

I don't think she is that good of a promo either. It never hampered Sasha or Bayley before they ran into that Alexa wrecking ball. You would think after they ruined two of their best workers in back to back programs with her that they might have reconsidered the Alexa push. I shudder to think of how awful it's going to be when they finally pair Ronda up with her.

I think you would still be okay. The match would have been good and you would have lost to a physical specimen who is a good worker. Alexa means you just had a shitty match and did a clean job to someone you had no business losing to.

I would have built around Bayley and Sasha for sure. I think Charlotte's problem as a face is they don't have good heels for her to work off of. I think her only interesting program was with Ruby but I never thought she was going to lose. Alexa is a good promo but she says the same shit every time out. They overexposed her. I think she would have been fine with a transitional reign to get from point A to point B. Giving her a year and a half dominating both belts was a really bad idea and ruined a lot of people in the process.

I think whoever decided on Charlotte was right. She has starpower and that covers some of her faults in the ring. The problem with Alexa is they book her like a star and she isn't one. You can job people to Charlotte and it doesn't hurt them because they just lost to a star. You do the same thing with Alexa and they just got chumped out to a mid-carder cosplaying as a star.

I don't hate my job but I'm bored with my job. I'm ready to move into a manager role. It's acknowledged that I'm ready to move there and the director of my department gives me projects and opportunities to continue my development. But I'm waiting for someone to move up or out to open a spot up for me. So I'm stuck doing a job that's beneath me at this point waiting for my chance or a project that I can sink my teeth into for a few days of something different.

They are trying really hard to fuck up Ronda.

They would have Viper doing her job if she wasn't related to the Rock. I think she had potential at one point but she seems to have hit her ceiling and isn't quite capable of what they are asking of her.

It's been my running theory that she gets booked the way she does because someone in creative wants to have sex with her. It's the only thing that makes any sense to me as they just continually sacrifice better talent at her feet. Bayley, Sasha, Becky and Nia have all taken serious hits because of programs with her.
