So in what has to be the absolute bottom of the barrel, the Bischoff/Russo stans are now chirping at Dave for saying Ready to Rumble was a bad movie. I didn't even know that was a matter of debate. (Context: David Arquette was asked if there would ever be a sequel made, and he said he was down for it but Scott Caan did not want to do it)

"Enzo Amore kicked off a plane for vaping" reads like something you'd see on a tryhard Onion knockoff site, yet it's a thing that happened.

Sorry to be unclear, it wasn't directed at one person specfically per se, more at the general feeling that anyone calling out someone for being bad at their job is being a "hater" who has some kind of deep jealousy.

It's pretty obvious from past history rovert has a close connection with Becky, he either knows her or is not far removed from someone who does. Not surprised he would have a more personal feeling on the matter. Also let's not let all the stanning cause people to forget a wrestler shoot punched someone half her size square in the goddamn face. It's not being mean to Nia or "hating" on her to point that out. The point of the business here is to make it look like it hurts without actually hurting people. Nia's had issues with that several times now. If that's upsetting to you, I don't know what to tell you.

Mick was a MILF Hunter before that was even a thing I suppose.

Also nice to see a broken face hasn't kept THE MAN from continuing to ether poor Ronda on Twitter.... "When you got your face broke, you hid for a year under your blankie"..... Savageness like that usually involved needing to snap into a Slim Jim.

Yes, people are kind of forgetting (I know rovert isn't) that Becky getting a serious concussion is right up there with Daniel Bryan getting a serious concussion at this point. I wouldn't be surprised if they take a while to clear her. Calm down champ. I don't care one way or another about Brock, and don't care about any "cred". The AJ match is pretty much the only match he's had of late that hasn't bored me, and it's not cooincidentally one of the few times he didn't decide to eat his opponent alive. Nothing here worth getting that Mad Online about.

Sure, but a wrestler prone to hurting people due to her own sloppiness trying to act heel on Twitter is a bad look. (side note, what's with a lot of the WWE women using their "shoot names" on Twitter? It's confusing when they're trying to further pro rasslin' jibber jabber but use their IRL names to do it)

This always and forever will be my favorite David Crockett story.

Sitting down to watch SD now, and Nia's actions are really inexcusable. It's one thing to excecute a move sloppy, or mistime throwing someone outside the ring, but that was a straight punch to the face that would have made Onita proud. There didn't even look like there was an attempt to work it either.

What's weird is Brock supposedly really likes AJ, and AJ carried him to one of Brock's better matches so why make the change? Don't get me wrong, I dig heel Bryan, but it was a weird change to make.

Funny moment on Twitter where Bryan Alvarez called out Nia for being a sloppy worker once it was shown Becky's injury came from a straight punch to the face, only to have Ryback of all people running in to stan for her calling Bryan a mark that never wrestled before. Which.....yeah. Immediately my brain went to CM Punk's famous impression of hm.

I would be down for that, I bet DC could cut some great pro wrestling style promos.

I guess a silver lining to all this is that at least now fans have a reason to boo Nia now after her Big Show-esque turn for no reason. Also they should have Becky coming out to antagonize everyone like they did with Austin when he was recovering from his neck injury. After Ronda demolishes Nia, have Becky come out and lay her out while saying she still hasn't beaten the Man.

If Charlotte gets put into Becky's spot permanently, the backlash would be so strong Roman Reigns would be like "damn, that's harsh".

Good ol' Ed making sure he stops anyone who might accidently do something that would possibly get over.

Dave confirmed Becky is off the show, and I confirmed my interest is now off for this show as well.

I doubt there would be any heat on Nia, they don't want to risk upsetting the Rock.

On top of everything else, Becky gave Survivor Series reason to exist since WWE keeps trying to make their version of fetch (BRAND SUPREMACY~!) happen and literally no one not in the McMahon family gives a shit about it.

My god. Becky all bloody after getting her nose flattened destroying Ronda to loud cheers is the stuff of legend.

Marc Laurinitis is just that unremarkable where you could just point at any random mid 80s guy and say it's him and people would be like "eh, I guess so". Also Sean Waltman mentioned on Twitter that the women in the foxy boxing scenes were recruited from the club he and Jerry Lynn bounced at, and that they did their best to train them for it.

It always amused me that the "Ultimate Warrior was replaced by a different guy" urban legend grew out of him getting highlights in his hair (and possibly some people confusing him with Kerry Von Erich), yet Dynamic Dude Shane Douglas and late era ECW Franchise Shane Douglas might as well be two separate people.

They only would if one is a much bigger star and the promoters were trying to imply the lesser star was the other guy. Even then, the commisson doesn't seem to care much about anything that happens outside Mexico City.

I'd say both of them are correct, at least at that time. Lex was absolutely seen as a choker who couldn't win the big one since there was always some ridiculous behind the scenes drama that kept him from getting his big win. When he finally did get a win, it was after Flair was gone from WCW. There also was a knock on Flair around this time that he would sell too much for prelim guys when he was the champ. They were usually good matches, but for a casual fan it was the NWA champ looking like he had to put in effort to beat guys everyone else beats every week while Hulk would be dispatching monsters in the WWF.

I think there's no restriction on someone who voluntarily unmasks, only on someone who loses their mask in a match. In Alberto's specific situation it's a little different since his brother wrestles as Hijo del Dos Caras so there possibly could be issues where the commission would want to make it clear there's no false advertising/bait-and-switching going on. It happened in TJ when Rey Misterio Sr started pushing his son as Hijo (in small print) del Rey Misterio while having him dress identical to his famous cousin.
