I'd be satisfied if all it was is PAC and Pentago making crazy faces. Also this is the typical "show after a blowoff event" you used to get back in the day where they start up all the new feuds for the next cycle.

Guess Jake is bringing in Lance Archer.

People are getting too silly over Cody's neck tattoo. Yes, it's unfortunate for sure, but people are making too big a deal over it.

Am I crazy for thinking the inevitable Chris Jericho babyface run might be even better than the heel one? He's doing everything he can to keep the crowd from turning him as it is.

Mox also getting his money's worth after all those years of not being able to say the word belt too.

If I would have known you were going, I'd have created a "Johnny Sorrow run in" betting pool, lol.

Honestly, the bigger factor was probably Stacy Keibler being on Dancing With the Stars. She was getting the full "look we got one of our folks on a show with mainstream stars!" megapush until the celebrities there smartened her up to what it's like being a star outside of WWE, with actual benefits and standards and whatnot. As soon as that happened it became clear she wasn't going to go back to wrestling and all promotion came to a screeching halt. Ever since then, WWE has taken great pains to make sure they personally curate all exposure of their talent to the mainstream so they don't get to full of themselves.

I would expect Archer to make a big splash for his debut, immediately attacking the champ would seem to be a good way to do it.

I 100% believe if Brock hadn't have gone to UFC and won the title, he would have been on Vince's shit list to this day. He's come closest of anyone in terms of getting a court to call bullshit on WWE's ridiculous contract terms (they tried to keep him from wrestling anywhere in the world when he left WWE to play football). Had he not gone to UFC and activated Vince's "real sports cred" boner, the narrative would probably be he was a spoiled baby who couldn't hack it in WWE.

Am I missing something about Nick Gage? Wrestling Twitter constantly marks out for the guy but all I see is someone answering the question "what if New Jack was a white dude?"

Well that's a nugget of info that would need expanding upon.

The best part is wanting the Disney passes and Wrestlemania tickets for 4 when Muta and his family would only be three people. Sonny was trying to get GCW to pay for him to go to both, which is amazingly carny.

Considering the way Japanese business operates, there's zero chance NTV would sell the archive to an American company. They might lease some footage for WWE to use in a documentary or something, but they would never sell something that significant to a non-Japanese company unless they were having major cash flow issues and/or were going out of business.

To be fair, Vince Sr. would never have even thought of jobbing out Andre the way VKM did Braun (or Big Show, or any other giant for that matter).

I get the feeling most, if not all, of the story he told about him and Edge was true and he's just not able to be motivated to try to spin gold with the usual WWE horseshit storylines. Give him something based in reality and he's all in.

Didn't think about it until now but having Ryder and Hawkins (the former Edgeheads) out there with the people helping Beth was a nice touch.

Oh shit, they did it!

Jesus, where has this Orton been all these years?

Also I appreciate everyone here no selling the reveal of "what's in Rowan's cage" being a giant toy tarantula. You guys are the real MVPs.

Andrade and Angel dueling for Zelina's affections while playing it off like they totally aren't doing that would be awesome.

The Godfather is gonna claim gimmick infringement on Becky for her getup tonight.

Kairi's about to die for our sins right now.

Liv's great and all, but those choreographed entrances are just getting more and more ridiculous, especially for the women. After watching NXT where Rhea had to complete her foot stomp before making the save, I just can't take any of it serious.

They've already capped her out on NXT by having Charlotte cement her as not on the level of the main eventers, might as well start her main roster squandering now.
