I think there's real possibilities in using JBL as a mouthpiece to get someone over, but wasting it on Bum Ass Corbin ain't it.

I really want WWE Network to do some kind of MTV Cribs style show just so we can see their closet situation.

Does Becky know Seth raided her closet?

Bayley knocking over the camera before (presumably) the beatdown was a nice touch.

Miz's shoulder is being held together with duct tape and hope, so I assume this was just something easy for him to do.

There's something comforting in all the uncertainty in the world that R-Truth will still be appearing on Raw for the next 20 years (and still not age a day).

Yep, they play in the USL Championship which is one level below MLS. Funny thing, even though US sports don't do promotion/regulation, there's been more than a few teams that moved up to MLS so in a way it does kind of exist. I know the Riverhounds stadium that currently seats 5,000 is built to be able to upgrade to like 18,000 with the eye of moving up to MLS at some point in the future.

Yeah I'm not saying he doesn't have charisma, but I just think what he does have isn't a fit in WWE.

For the first time ever in Pittsburgh the local (world) football team is better than the (American) football team. The Riverhounds won a playoff game and the Steelers are trying to let their offensive coordinator murder the career of a young QB in the crib.

I pretty much agree with brother @C.S. on all but a few (minor) points: While it does certainly appear that the next time someone asks Cody to reveal the reason he left he can just sorta just gesticulate wildly in the direction of that whole mess, I don't really think that his departure was as bad of a blow as a lot of us feared it could be. Obviously is not great to hand your competition one of your top guys on a platter and let them do a victory lap on you, but Cody's situation was just as untenable on screen as it apparently was backstage. He very clearly had a path he wanted his character to go and he didn't give a shit if the fans wanted to go that way or not. Neither side being willing to give in led to all his segments living in their own reality, so it can be argued that it actually helped the show in the sense of they no longer had to deal with having to fit weird Codyverse segments into the show every week. Hell I'd even argue he probably wasn't the backstage spy WWE might have thought he could be either. By the time he left, Cody was so removed from what everyone else's ideas were the only thing WWE could have learned from him is what bank AEW uses for their payroll. I do, because it's 100% how Danielson wants it. He did the same thing in WWE too, he's made it abundantly clear that he feels at this point his best use is to get as many people over as he can. I seem to recall their being stores of when Bryan was wanting to put over guys like Gulak, even Vince at one point was like "Really?"

Ilja is great in ring but that won't cut it in big boy WWE if he doesn't find something to click personality-wise/

Man they REALLY need to not have Booker commentating on Quincy Elliott

Man they got a money feud whenever they want waiting for them, just have Miz point out to Cody he's made a career out of making his sidekicks look like stars.

It's probably fun to have a match like this with Roxanne, she's small and tossable enough for all kinds of cool ideas.

It was pretty damn good.

This DOES actually make sense because WWE has long established you need to put them in a coffin *and* close the lid in Coffin Matches, but the announcers aren't saying that and it's making everyone look dumb.

Huh, so the Druids weren't working for Taker all this time and were just the official WWE coffin handlers? Damn. This is shaking me like finding out Uncle Ivan was Canadian.

Mandy Rose fighting off Alba's minions and various Legally Distinct looking movie monsters, this is amazing.

This Toxic Attraction skit turned the corner from "stupid" to "stupid, but I fuckin love it" for me. Gigi as the one who knows she's probably getting murdered but is hype af because that's kind of her thing had me dead.

He's good at a lot of the Big Guy Stuff, but WWE can't seem to figure out how to push a guy who looks like El Hijo de Herman Munster.

I love that it's apparently canon in NXT that Gigi Dolan has to carry a black rose at all times she's not in a match.

He is by far. Wes Lee winning was the payoff for the redemption arc he was on after his fuckhead partner derailed his career.

Holy shit, RIP Robert Stone's balls after that

No way, he's obviously money waiting to happen and he doesn't have the handicap of it all hinging on the whims of a drug addled 76 year old man anymore.

I like to think that a little part of Scott Hall's legacy is a cure for people who are afraid to walk under ladders. He made it look so cool people still want to imitate it.
