Dick heel Hideo is the best he's been in NXT.

I was hoping for a tag team hoss battle, but I suppose it's more impressive visually to see AOP toss Eric around.

I admit I popped for the Aussie girls trying to schmooze Daniel in the GM box.

Funnier WCW tapings related mishap: kicking off the dispute with the NWA by spoiling an unauthorized world title switch, or having the Freebirds come out announced as champs and losing before winning them on the live Clash creating a negative days long title reign?

Wrestlemania is one thing, it doesn't need to be a 4+ hour show either but it's Wrestlemania, there's no need for every "big" WWE event to become a 4 hour show with a 2 hour pre show that turns into a death march waiting for the main event.

It's kind of amazing how in a business built on lies and the lying liars who tell them, that telling the truth will most likely be the end of Bryan's US based career. If/when he's away from WWE I don't see a US based company wanting to take the risk of signing him with how vocal he's been with his many concussions. If he ever does wrestle it's going to have to be in Japan or Mexico.

Question for the Canadians: WWE Network is an actual channel up there, right? How does that work? Can you log in to the website/smart apps to access the library or are you limited to what is being shown on TV at that given moment?

He's probably no better or worse than any other wrestler who's been doing it as long as he has. What's different is he made the mistake of being honest to WWE doctors about the seizures he had years ago when most guys probably would have lied about it.

Do guys just forget RF was a pedo or do they just not care? I want to ask that of everyone I see doing a video for him.

I find it funny that people seem convinced that Dave is masterminding some plan to troll everyone when Occam's Razor suggests that maybe he just really likes the matches he's watching? Like, what's the end game here? 1. Trolling internet folks that presumably make up the meat of his subscriber base. 2 ???? 3. Profit It doesn't make sense as as businessman for him to do that.

Part of the reason Dave is acting so flippant to people spazzing out about his 6 star rating is that it's pretty much the same thing that happened when he first gave a match 5, except now thanks to Twitter we can see the reaction in real time.

In these turbulent times it's oddly comforting that Gene's still being Gene in 2017.

Instant heel turn I'd suspect. Maybe in some places they'd get cheered but I don't see a Brooklyn SummerSlam crowd cheering Roman under any circumstances.

Such a gentleman, that Alberto. Selflessly removing himself as champ even though he makes sure to point out he did nothing wrong.

They seem to think that because there's over a billion people in India, it will create a huge market there if someone of Indian descent is champion. Of course they also seem to think that OTT/streaming services have the same level of availability and cultural acceptance everywhere despite having pretty much zero gain internationally on the network outside of the UK.

They just announced Alberto has been stripped of the title, so now we have the strange feeling of them making the right call for possibly the first time ever.

Bringing up Lucha reminded me of some AAA faves, namely Bad Medicine for Dr. Wagner Jr and Thriller for La Parka.

So that Philly show has Snuka teaming with Arnold Skaaland vs Muraco and Captain Lou. That seemed like an odd pairing, so I looked on Graham's site and saw that he was a sub for Buddy Rogers and was so in a series of matches around the circuit. Were they really expecting Buddy to wrestle at that point in time? I will say Arnold looked pretty good for a 58 year old who had been retired for several years by then.

Watching the new Philly show from 83 in the Old School section and the opening has Gorilla looking like an extra from the Godfather with his shirt half unbuttoned.

I think the flak comes from him being another case of WWE pushing a green guy before they're really ready for it because he's a big guy. He was just starting to find a groove in NXT when he got called up and he's just been kind of aimlessly going from program to program while the announcers gush over him. It doesn't help that his matches have been largely bad when he's not doing big guy vs little guy stuff with Kalisto.

I mean, I wouldn't watch a whole card where there was a Joey Ryan type in every match, but I don't see how having him on a show is the ruination of the wrestling business. If you guys catch the vapors this bad over Joey's antics I'd hate to see if any of you ever watch a Danshoku Dino match.

I would think it gets him booked on shows and sells merch. He seems to be a smart enough guy that he would stop doing it if it was actively hurting his earning potential. Ya'll are cracking me up acting like goofy comedy wrestlers/spots are a thing that only started in the 2000's or so.

Bill Watts would have sent him to Memphis where he would have got a run as a top star.

I wonder, how do wrestlers justify getting pissed at Enzo for bringing his boys backstage and taking photos but doing shoot interviews airing their dirty laundry is fine? If Enzo charged his friends $20 per photo would that make it okay?

"You can't criticize unless you've done it" really is the weakest though. Not to mention he's clearly never seen a pic of Dave, Vince would push a guy built like him the exact same way Baron has been.
