They've already stated it's an over the top rope battle royale. Funny enough, I'd more expect the women they bring back from the Attitude Era to fill it out less likely/able to bump over the top rope.

The match was fine, but Alexa's run as champ really exposes that for as great as she is as a character/performer she kinda sucks at the actual wrestling part.

I've often wondered why a known sadistic asshole like Billington never retaliated from getting his teeth KTFO, that would certainly explain it. I have to admit, the idea of the "All-American Boys" Rougeaus being secretly mobbed up makes that gimmick about 1000x more entertaining.

It never made sense to me why they didn't put the belt on Sarge. You had someone who was the #2 most popular guy in wrestling fall in your lap, why not put the rocket on him? I mean i realize the answer is "because Verne" but still....

Doesn't Taker have at least a couple of younger kids with Michelle McCool? I can see the pull of doing "one more" to put some extra feathers in that nest.

He's made a lot of real estate investments, and those tend to go real well or real bad with little in between. Him always coming back despite having a body of someone 20+ years older seems to suggest which way his went. Plus I'm sure Taker *needing* a Mania payoff is different than me *needing* to pick up some extra OT to help pay for Christmas. Economies of scale an all that.

Sounds like she took a kick in the back from Sasha Banks and got a stinger, but after her neck problems it's good they are being careful. Hopefully she'll be back in the ring at least by the Rumble. There's a GIF of the spot making its way around Twitter now, I don't know if she wasn't expecting the kick or Sasha put something extra on it, but it was kind of sickening seeing someone who's just back from neck surgery have their head whip like that. She was shaking her arm after like it was a stinger, but she tried getting up and fell down like Austin did after the botched piledriver so that's probably where the "it's not as bad as it looked in the ring" is coming from.

He's said he tried to find out and all anyone will tell him is that it wasn't injury related.

Last I heard wrestling on TV in Japan got shunted to the late night/overnight hours.

Wrestling magazines were huge for a long time, newspapers cover it in the sports section (or at least they did) fairly regularly.

Streaming never caught on in Japan for whatever reason, at least not for subscription sites. The only video service I've ever heard mentioned in terms of Japan is NicoNico which is basically just their version of YouTube.

Looks like Hideo broke Brian Kendrick's face with the GTS on Monday, broken nose/orbital bone.

Pretty sure no one is saying anything like that.

It just came off to me like they just stuck Jordan in as a last minute Dean replacement and did the same story they were planning to do. The whole deal with Sheamus apparently dealing with spinal stenosis seems to have gone under the radar, and this seems like this might have been done to get the belts off him. Also I think with Jordan was he was placed in an unbelievable (in a bad way) story that got shit on from the jump. It was going to be stupid no matter who was put in it, I think some people just were assuming it was going to be Gable because of the Olympic connection. No one is hating this because it wasn't Gable, they were hating it because it's a stupid storyline no one is buying and the longer they do it the more it makes everyone involved look like geeks.

The interaction between them was great, but a 16 minute match when the gimmick is no commericals was probably not the best timing. Joe continues to be the best heel, and the match with Roman was great until the super lame "DQ for kicking too much ass" finish. Jordan and Rollins as tag champs was fun, but it's either leading to the Russoiffic tag partners who don't get along deal or we're supposed to forget they spent weeks portraying JJ as a whiny bitch to set up a heel turn that apparently got called off when Dean got hurt.

The brief time Lance Russell was on Twitter before he passed was like the best Twitter could ever hope to be.

I believe what he said was along the lines of there were no plans set but that could easily change. So not exactly the same sentiment and it's easier to interpret what Dave means when you hear him speak(as challenging it can be at times when he stammers or shuffles his notes) an when you read it. Dave ALWAYS says plans can change on anything he reports I'm not sure how this became a major knock on Dave when history has shown plans do change all the time.

Top 100 Raw moments and 100 episodes of Mid Atlantic are set as the new content for January.

Yes because this is totally a thing that is exclusive to The Young Bucks and in no way has anyone acted like this about Roman Reigns or John Cena. Well start a thread about Cena or Reigns and we can discuss them there.

But the only people I see being toxic aren't Bucks fans, but those who have to constantly tell everyone how much they don't like the Young Bucks.

My question has always been why is it seemingly a horrible thing to some people that an act they don't particularly care for is over? I don't want to come across as yelling at Sean, but it seems like so goddamn many people take personal offense to the Young Bucks I'm wondering if they went around stealing people's lunches and kicking their dogs. Do I enjoy everything the Bucks do? No, it does get to be a bit excessive at times (okay, a lot of the time). But I'm also not going to swear off indy wrestling just because they are a popular act right now. tl;dr not everything will always be presented with you in mind. Let people enjoy things if they like them.

He was responding to someone asking about a cut and paste site claiming he reported Vince was looking to sell WWE to Disney, but I guess that doesn't make for funny jokes.

The target audience is "companies that want to give WWE money" which Facebook apparently is one of.

I've wondered since he had the injury in NXT, was his shoulder that messed up or did the doctors do an Ultimo Dragon on him? It doesn't seem like he's been right ever since.

So WCW officially died the other day, as the Universal Wrestling Corporation was finally merged back into Turner.
