Thinking this is some kind of "Rocky treatment on purpose" comes off as smarter people than the writers trying to justify the horrible booking JJ's got so far. Plus it's not something you could ever redo if you wanted to, since it only worked back then because it was done to the guy who had more charisma than anyone before or since in the history of the business.

LOLOLOL they are really going to waste the return of the Shield on the fucking Miztorage.

If you're still watching then he's still winning. I've been watching long before him, and will be watching long after when he's either off making movies or the subject of a "The Destruction of Roman Reigns" WWE Network special. I mean, I'm not one of those types who's going to say they're going to quit watching WWE over someone's push or lack thereof. I'm just saying it's getting old watching them continuing to slam their dicks in the door trying to make something happen the audience by and large clearly don't want in the position they are placing him at. Yes, girls like him and probably by a lot of his merch, but he's clearly not the numbers mover Cena is even in this stage of his career. Hell, I'm not expecting Vince to listen to me, I'm just some asshole on a message board. I'm just wondering how happy he is with his TV tapings starting to look TNA-ish with everything not facing the hard cam getting tarped off.

Multiple endorsements of Roman by other top guys being met with loud booing just makes WWE look increasingly sad and desperate. Vince vs his own audience is the one feud Im really tired of at this point.

You can make the case that the Hogan turn was the culmination of the longtime feud. All those years of his distrust verified in one moment. Everyone always says the "what side is he on" line was a botch, but of course Bobby Heenan the longtime foil of Hulkamania would be distrustful of him. The fact that he ended up being right (finally) was 15+ years of heel work being validated.

I think Dalton is hurt, back injury or something. It came up when they took the six man titles off him and the Boys.

A lot of stories seem to be leaking out because of this that seem to indicate Gabe's a shit person to work for.

Lineup for the collection is better than I expected, some people seem surprised with the lack of WCW stuff but I'd bet Bobby would have preferred everyone forget that part of his career anyway.

It seems pretty clear from what's already been made public that WWN overstated their audience to FloSlam and entered their agreement under false pretenses. You can make a claim that Flo should have done more due diligence but I don't think "they should have known wrestling is filled with carny ass carnies" is going to fly in court as a defense.

The company behind several indy groups facing a million dollar lawsuit seems like it would be a big story no matter the slowness of a given news day.

They are probably going to a Collection Playlist of Bobby's WWF stuff instead since they done it for people that have passed away this year. I know, I just hope it isn't a bunch of Prime Time skits and weasel suit matches against the Warrior.

It's hard to determine what actually pops a number (besides Mania) since they keep the numbers close to the vest.

The lying about numbers is one thing, but why would they be shocked that Gabe would be sharing info with WWE when it's been clear they've been BFFs for a while now.

I don't mean this to sound morbid but I was hoping they'd upload a bunch of AWA stuff in memory of Bobby Heenan. It goes against WWE Canon that his best work was not in the company, but they only seem to add AWA stuff if it features a WWF guy anyway.

It really sucks that Bobby got caught in the crossfire of two companies acting like children.

It's making the rounds now that the interview he was doing recently included to him finally admitting to his alcoholism and this experience being the one to finally force him to face the truth. There's probably a million things one could say, but hopefully this was the slap in the face he needed to finally realize his demons and face them head on.

Ive never really got why fans harp on about Ross/Lawler being the greatest ever announce team because for me the best always has been Bobby/Gorilla. A gaming podcast I listen to calls it the "first fuck syndrome". In their context, the first game most people play in a particular genre tends to be their most favorite one of all time. They never had anything to compare it to and everything blew them away. The same thing applies here. Fans who came of age in the Attitude Era or slightly before will think Ross/Lawler is the greatest ever because it was the first one they heard. Not that they weren't great, but there's always going to be that certain aspect of adulation for one's "first time".

Apparently Jinder's promo on Nakamura didn't make the cut to WWE's YouTube page. It was something to hear the crowd chanting "that's too far" at the foreign heel cutting a racist promo at the foreign babyface.

The PWO Barbershop is a thing that I never thought about before, but definitely needs to exist now.

True. Also Hayes is pretty much the textbook definition of someone who should Never Tweet.

Apparently Cornette had old charges from back in the territory days where he and the MX had to fight their way out of a couple arenas, and since he's already disinclined to want to travel the new security procedures sealed the deal.

Probably not a good look for someone with power in WWE to be tweeting out stuff making it look like the ROH champ will be appearing on one of their shows. I mean we all know it isn't happening, but this is the same company that put guys on ice for months to avoid any appearance of contract tampering. Now you have one of the top non-McMahon people in the company basically offering their top guy a spot on a houseshow.

There was a thread here somewhere about times wrestling made you tear up, and hearing Bobby break a little saying "I wish Monsoon was here" in his HOF speech is my #1 no question. Also anyone else remember the time he got thrown by the neck across the ring by Ken Patera? That blew my mind as a kid and now looking back at it knowing his neck problems that was an absolutely crazy thing to risk doing.

I figure if they are going to put the effort to bring back a classic PPV name, it's at least going to be a Network Special. I mean, if they don't do that much what's the point?

The Twitter account for the Greensboro Coliseum just announced WWE would be bringing back Starrcade on 11/25. How about that.
