Give us an Okada/Claudio singles match at some point please Coach Tony K

MJF rocking some nasty shoulder acne

Well holy shit

They've been doing that, the joke is that her movies are all silent pictures.

I highly suspect this is going to be an angle advancement match considering the PPV is only like 2 weeks and change away. Maybe the reveal on who the masked men who attacked Jay really are?

Hearing "Walk" in Philly again just feels right

hot damn, MJF vs Kenny on Collison

lol the pop for MJF finally scissoring Max Caster is going to be huge and make all the usual suspects' heads explode.

I love that Jacey is slowly coming along to Chase U too

Odd that Crown Jewel is in an arena and not a stadium this time, MBS having trouble selling tickets?

Shotzi as Pinhead is almost too good a costume

Its LEXIS KING time baby

God damn, Kiana James saw that egg Trish got on her forehead and was like "hold my beer"

Another good Raw, but Judgement Day is getting dangerously close to Poochie levels of taking over the show.

This caught my eye in that press release: "Company officials confirmed that the new year will launch a new-look TNA Wrestling that runs from the entrance ramp to turnbuckles in the ring to larger, more prestigious venues and much, much more," Impact wrote. Seems like Anthem is going to start putting bigger money into it and make a run at taking us back to the Big Three era again? There were already reports out before this that they were going to be increasing the production budget and now this?

She needed extra paperwork or something from her doctor to get cleared because she has epilepsy. It seems like WWE more or less told her they will bring her in once she gets that cleared up, so I guess Tony was just giving her some work in the meantime?

I will die on the hill that Michael Cole is a tremendous announcer when left on his own devices. His face has reached nearly "career renaissance Tony Schiavone" levels of happiness once Vince wasn't the main creative voice anymore. His bromance with Pat McAfee is pure joy, two dudes enjoying the fuck out of their job just made the product so much better by itself. Even the stuff people didn't like of his was just him playing his role exactly the way Vince wanted him to.

I love how Don Callis is bringing back irredeemable shitheel managers back to mainstream pro wrestling. Been missing that for a while.

Doing the Rey/Dom "I won't fight you" deal with Christian, I see you Adam.

Ol' Billy has been teasing a new era for the NWA, and along with announcing they are bringing back the territory system starting with EC3's promotion they also signed a deal wth the CW to carry NWA Power. The CW has new ownership that has been making several deals for sports programming and this seems like a good fit with their plan. NWA gets on network TV and the CW gets more programming to fill their non primetime hours.

Vince did have the balls to go all-in on the first Wrestlemania, but he was able to get to that point by being the son of the guy who's territory covered some of the biggest markets on the East Coast. Having NYC/Boston/Philly/DC/Baltimore/Pittsburgh in your area is going to make it a little easier to succeed than if your main market is some podunk southern or midwestern town .

I always felt Taker got a bad rap, he was stuck working with a lot of lugs for years. Once he was paired up with someone able to hold up their end of the deal his matches were usually good to great. Unfortunately by the time he was able to get a chance to show what he was capable of, his body was already breaking down. Dave famously said he heard people back in 1998 or so being like "I don't think Taker can make it another year, he's in bad shape". Also it really seems like Endeavor sees Vince as a bigger liability by the day. Ari Emmanuel is making sure Vince doesn't have any creative control in WWE, and seems to be making sure he's more or less just kept at arm's length. Should be interesting to see how long Vince puts up with that.

I like to think it was @C.S. carrying the flag for Christian that inspired him to reach this level.

The Trick and Melo stuff is great, I love Trick getting the rocket

He's always kind of been a different looking dude tho. I don't know if I'd call him ugly because that seems mean, but he's not exactly ever been heartthrob material (other than that brief time after he debuted as hot vampire guy).
