    The Mae Young Classic

    Well that does seem odd.... *does Google Image Search* ...oh well, that explains it.
  2. Maybe Bruce is getting mad that Dave won't take his obvious troll bait to come on his show?

    NXT talk

    The issue is that there's really no need for a three man team on any show, even more so on a hour long one like NXT.
  4. That's another thing, it made Carmella look like an idiot to not cash in that night since Daniel already said he was going to address the situation on TV. Could have been great heel work for her to come out and rub it in everyone's face that it doesn't matter how she won the case since she's champ now so tough shit.

    The Mae Young Classic

    Jazzy had a super quick stint in TNA where she was pushed like a monster then she completely disappeared.
  6. I will give credit where it's due, no one in the history of wrestling has ever been as good at keeping his name in the spotlight past the point of any semblance of relevance like the Ru-meister.
  7. IIRC he went by Percival Pringle III in Texas at least for a while, always wondered why until now.
  8. Dave has had Russo fanboys @'ing him on Twitter trying to claim bringing VinnyRu back to WWE would boost their ratings. Needless to say they got destroyed like a toddler trying to play one on one with Steph Curry.

    NXT talk

    He'll probably be much better on NXT, he was great on the CWC with Bryan, Main roster production seemed to bring out the worst in him.
  10. BTW I would guess Cody not being in the G1 means he's probably winning the ROH title on their show and they didn't want their champ tied up doing all the tournament dates.

    NXT talk

    I kind of did. He was getting a lot of MMA and boxing work, and that plus whatever dirt he had on them with the JBL stuff probably meant they made him a ridiculous offer.
  12. Looks like we're getting two years of WWE ECW soon as well.
  13. I bet Brad Maddox would consider that art. (seewhatIdidthere) I mean, why not. Art is like the most subjective thing there is. Too many people dismiss something they don't like or don't "get" as not having any artistic value. As a longtime video game fan, I've heard that argument all the time from people who had little to no understanding of what they were talking about and were just being dismissive of something they felt was beneath them. Wrestling at its core is performance art, whether it's a Santino comedy match, an indy spotfest, or a NJPW six star classic. No one would suggest movies aren't art just because there's tons of shitty B/C level films made every year.

    WWE 2k...

    Last year's was great but like jcmmnx said the search function for CAWs was so busted it was too frustrating to play on any kind of regular basis. Which was really too bad since there were tons of great ring and belt creations to go along with the wrestlers.
  15. What I don't get is Carmella and James made a valid defense, and Bryan actually agreed with them, but then he took the case away anyway because reasons. It seems popular on Wrestling Twitter to say that people who didn't like the women's MITB and the aftermath are being worked by WWE's brilliance here but since they troll the fans all the time now it's gotten to the point that not liking something they do is their version of the guy who's all "it was just a prank bro" when they get called out.
  16. The Bruno-Hansen cage match is so great, just two guys clubbering each other until Bruno just beats his ass and walks out. I will say Stan teasing that he's going to climb out of the wobbly ass 70s WWWF cage was the scariest part of the match.
  17. That and he was tired of having to fight Enzo's battles for him after he would shoot his mouth off. Considering WWE doesn't do managers not named Paul Heyman, there's not much Enzo can do now. I think he'd be great as a modern day Jimmy Hart pipsqueak heel manager, but that role won't be there for him in this company.
  18. I'd say EA Sports is at least honest, they pump out sports games year after year and don't really pretend anything else. Which is fine because FIFA and Madden sell bazillions every year so why fix what isn't broken. People were lol'ing at them adding a story mode in next year's Madden but it's not like it's really changing much of the actual game. WWE acts like the fans dictate what they do when all available evidence points otherwise. It would be if EA saw that people really enjoy playing FIFA but decided to put all their effort behind a new cricket game because it's popular in India.
  19. Or they're getting tired of the same old shit and getting mad at the bookers for seemingly not being able to move past worn out crutches to get heat. Possibly. Edit: this was in response to the post where it was suggested folks are just getting mad at the bookers for heels doing heel things.
  20. Heels cheating to win and/or not lose has been a thing forever of course. When nearly the entire card involves heels winning and the babyfaces are constantly being portrayed as losers who never get the job done it creates a deflating environment for the crowd that just wants to see the people they cheer for have even the briefest moment to celebrate.
  21. It's not about having her win or lose matches as much as not scripting her like they've done in promos since she's come up.
  22. Basically old timers be all "our silly, hokey shit was just fun times while your silly hokey shit is destroying the biz".
  23. The thing with live crowds is that outside of the handful of big cities they run regularly, most towns only get WWE shows once or twice a year. The youngsters in the crowd by and large aren't watching for 3 hours a week.
  24. That was my understanding, plus I have a hard time believing Hulk would be aware of Dustin's existence in the slightest in any of the periods their paths would have crossed.
  25. He was one of the biggest draws in wrestling history, and if we're going to disqualify people for being pieces of shit human beings there'd only be room to discuss like 5 people max in the history of the business.
