I was surprised she was cleared to come back when it seems others in her position like Edge were given the immediate no. I suppose it was due to her being so much younger at the time of her surgery. I wonder if they will allow her to continue being the manager of Absoultion, because it would suck to derail the other two right out of the blocks.

Bob Caudle continues to be my favorite announcer on these shows. I'm biased since he was one of the ones I grew up with, and I get how someone who grew up with Memphis could see him as a discount Lance Russell, but it's like watching wrestling with your Grandpa while he does his best to keep these beasts from destroying the studio during interviews.

Some things Ive pondered while binging Mid Atlantic: Jim Crocketts title fetish is a thing to behold. I thought JCP circa 1986 was bad, but theres just as many here with half the roster. Pvt Jim Nelson appears to have the same proportions as a little person in a full size body. Its amazing to think this is the guy who would become Boris Zukov. Its hard to look a Paul Jones and not see anything other than the geek manager.

In an ideal world, yes. I have zero faith in the main roster creative team to use him even 1/4th as well as NXT. I see him as a guy they won't "get".

His feud with Dalton in ROH was fun enough. Not sure where this "everything Cody does is terrible" talking point came from but it's getting silly. He's not the GOAT or anything but people are acting like he's Shockmaster bad.

Not saying he needs to be carried, but the guys Nak was working with in New Japan for the most part were quite a step better than anyone he could work with in WWE (except AJ of course).

Cody in ROH and Cody at WK with Brandi were like two entirely different people. I hope he can convince her to stick around but she seems to have a lot of irons in the fire as well.

He's kind of unoffically-offically been working for them for a while now, I guess this is just them giving up any pretext that they're just doing a "promotions with benefits" thing.

Yes, let's not start a narrative that somehow WWE got bamboozled into giving Bryan the win rather than something they were dragged kicking and screaming into.

The rumors on Twitter are saying that he was running a prostitution ring and tried to recruit a female staffer.

Its interesting how everyone seems to know but no one is saying anything.

That's why the #1 rule on the internet is never read the comments.

I love that Rusev in 2018 is on his way to becoming Bulgarian Daniel Bryan.

I just love that while Sinclair is slowly trying to take over local TV with their right wing news, they own a wrestling company that has Dalton Castle and the Boys as the featured act.

I love how in the first episode they have to censor Abdullah carving Wahoo's head. The 70s graphics effect they use to do it makes it look 100x worse than it probably was.

Enzo was bleeding from the eyebrow, looked like Cedric's boot (laces maybe?) caught him flush on that kick. Props to the wardrobing team, I don't know how Dana avoided a wardrobe malfunction while dancing in that outfit. I imagine the entire lining of her jacket was double sided tape. I loved Roman and Seth having dueling "This fucking guy...." faces while JJ was doing his promo. Also isn't it pretty weird that Gallows and Anderson have been the low team on the totem pole all of last year, and suddenly they are in the main event with Balor? It wasn't even built up, he just named them as his partners and everyone just acted like they didn't spend the last 12 months jobbing to everyone. I guess it was worth it just for the segment seemingly meant to troll Dave when they were namedropping Tama Tonga and Fale.

I think we can all agree at least that it was Jericho's best match in a while since he wasn't exactly setting the world on fire in his last few WWE runs.

The outfit was a shoutout to Destiny 2, which works since he's a legit video game nerd (see also: all his big moves have game related names).

Funny, for most of his US trip Jay White was Random ROH Guy. It's like he got stuck in that mode even though he's supposed to be some badass heel now.

For El-P: Roppongi 3K just came back from excursion where they were Rajin and Fujin in CMLL and the Tempura Boyz in ROH. I didn't expect them to make such an impact on their return but they have that 80s Rock n Roll Express appeal to the girls it seems and that's got them over pretty quick. Also Brandi's been using the Rhodes name since she left since she never used it in WWE and thus they don't have any trademark right to it in her case.

Now that's some heel charisma. It's like Tully if he had an MMA background.

Wrestling has kind of always been like that, hell the build for WM 3 started off by Hogan getting an award for having such a long title reign. Guys were always pushed as X-time champs to build credibility.

It should be everyone's goal in life to find someone who loves them as much as Japan loves Cheeseburger.

I doubt Kenny will go to WWE until he gets to the "cash in on the last run" stage of his career. New Japan is building their US expansion largely around him and they give him the freedom to do pretty much whatever he wants. I don't see going to WWE appealing to him unless Vince makes a completely stupid money offer.

I want to believe she drank everyone under the table.
