  1. Cena wasn't positioned as a childlike character like Bayley was. People trying to bag on Dave for sexism are really reaching here.
  2. I'm not sure what's more frustrating at this point, WWE insisting Roman stay face when fans want to boo him or keeping the Wyatts heel when the crowd wants to cheer them. Putting the Wyatts vs the New Day seems like a mistake since it's two teams the fans like facing off, which usually kills the heat for both.
  3. Maybe it's a side effect of being "in the bubble", but it's amazing she'd think he'd ever be forgotten. If the only thing historians and old time wrestling nerds like us ever accomplish is keep footage of guys like Brody in circulation, I'd say that's a worthy endeavor.
  4. This is my all time "that didn't really happen, did it?" moment. Fundamentally I know it took place, but any time I watch it, it just seems like some kind of bizarre fever dream.
  5. My biggest takeway of the PPV was that Roman has the chops to be a really great heel but WWE is too bent on him being the top public relations/Make a Wish guy to do it. Maybe the silver lining in the suspension is now they won't want him in that role now that the dreaded Google Search of DOOM will bring up a Wellness failure.
  6. Considering how rarely top guys get popped, and how all the WWE partnered media outlets are reporting this, it sure seems like this is a pretty clear message being sent. Either he failed for something extremely dumb to get caught for, or he broke some silly WWE rule like not genuflecting to a backstage photo of the Undertaker or something.
  7. Rey and Morrison are under contract to LU, Drew is to TNA, and doesn't Shelton have some kind of Japan deal? I don't discount that WWE may want some of all of the names mentioned, but its funny how a lot of folks seem to think they can just grab anyone they want regardless of contract status.
  8. While I agree it does seem WWE was caught off guard by USA, on the other hand wtf did they expect to happen? USA was probably expecting to get a show somewhat equal to Raw, and WWE didn't even bother with the usual 2 month courtesy attempt of making SD relevant they usually do when the show moves.
  9. Also it's hard to have sympathy for a guy who got away with having sex with a 13 year old by intimidating a 14 year old witness, There's likely scores of others too who never even got to the judicial stage since he was the King of Memphis.
  10. Since both were taken to the hospital, I don't think there's any need for an italicized, bolded, IF there. As far as being upset about people here focusing on his commentary career, it's a pro wrestling board. It's the same as football fans wondering if a player's arrest is going to affect the team. Hell, this is PWO, I'm surprised there's no one wondering if this changes his position in the GWE standings.

    NXT talk

    So I'm watching the Authors of Pain on NXT and it's like the Road Warriors and Shield era Roman had a baby.
  12. I'm sure he can't talk about it, but I'm hearing HHH had a meeting with Mr. Tharpe about buying the Boesch library, I hope this doesn't mean all the gems that have been unearthed will end up collecting dust in the WWE vaults.
  13. If nothing else, SuperClash II is worth watching just for Ron Trongard's hair while he interviews Bockwinkel after the title match. Also interesting that Dave was mentioning on Twitter that the match wasn't supposed to be a title change, but Curt told Verne he got an offer from the WWF after the match so they un-Dusty'ed the finish to give him the belt.
  14. SuperClash II is now up in the AWA section.
  15. No they wouldn't, because they never advertise it so it will never get more plays. It's a classic self fulfilling prophecy. They throw a few episodes up out of sequence then when no one watches it they can just point to it as a reason why they don't add more. I'd guarantee the NWA Saturday shows get more views than any other classic content since there's about two and a half years you can watch straight through and follow storylines. Plus, WWE will always push anything related to the MNW since it's Vince's go-to mic drop to prove superiority.
  16. It's missing from the show, which is odd since it seems like the version on the Network is the live feed rather than a home video version.

    NXT talk

    To be fair, he's been underutilized since he was Shawn Spears in OVW. I don't think people believe he's being buried, the fans just seem to like the guy and for whatever reason the TEN gimmick struck a chord. No one is complaining that he jobs all the time, his role is to be the WWE Style Veteran for the noobs and new-to-the-system guys to get acclimated with. I guess maybe you could argue it was odd for them to give a gimmick like that to a guy they didn't plan on pushing, or for them to not do anything with the guy once he caught on, but drawing money isn't the point of NXT.
  18. God knows what they have mouldering away in their vault, and this is their focus. It's probably too much to hope that HHH got some tips on how present classic content in his meeting with Bruce this week. Well you have to remember WWE considers the Monday Night War as the most important thing in the history of wrestling, They certainly won't pass up the opportunity to upload WCW struggling to its death. Hell, I'm surprised it wasn't available entirely from day one.
  19. They were desperately trying to hide the fact that it was a shorter cage than the usual WWE one so their solution was to use the Andre shot the whole time.
  20. Yeah I think they pushed it out to all platforms, I watched the John Cena collection to see the UPW match they have up (with CW Anderson no less) and ended up watching all the OVW stuff as well.
  21. 1999 and 2000 Nitros being added, looks like its the next content dump. Should be required viewing for anyone who thinks today's three hour Raws are the worst shows ever.
  22. I like the entrance, but it's the only thing that's any different about him when he's in demon mode. He does a flashy entrance but then he wrestles the same.
  23. If you love his song, you'll enjoy this:
  24. If the first two games are any indication, the basketball game will probably be a done deal pretty quick. Also it's pretty interesting Triple H has been posting photos on Twitter today of HBK and Nash in town for the show, and doing the old "you never know who'll show up for NXT!" deal. Maybe we're supposed to think someone new is going to pop up.
  25. Not sure why you'd think Sombra vs Tye couldn't be at least three stars. Both guys are great, and I don't think Sombra would get jittery at Full Sail after being a main eventer in CMLL (in before empty Arena Mexico jokes).
