    WWE TV 8/24-8/30

    I thought it was funny when they showed her and Seth at the NXT show and she looked like it was the last place she wanted to be.
  2. Say what you will about our pal Alvarez, but it seems he was able to successfully engineer a campaign on Twitter to get WWE to address the horrible buffering issues that were plaguing the archive stuff on the network.

    Next week's show's should be fine. Folks in Florida don't even get out of bed for anything less than a Category 2 hurricane. I happened to be in Orlando on vacation when a Tropical Storm rolled through and the locals didn't even bat an eye.
  4. They cut out New Day's version of Empire State of Mind from Summerslam on the network.

    Not sure why there's the hate for Jericho-Liger. Yeah, it's not going to set the world on fire but they're clearly putting Liger in with guys he can have good matches with on his mini tour of WWE.

    All of the NXT women's matches are practiced at the Performance Center, especially before big shows. Dave mentioned it as one of the (many) reasons womens' matches are much better on NXT than in WWE were they don't have as much time for practicing.

    I get the impression most if not all the stuff Xavier says at ringside is off the cuff, and is usually great, so that was a welcome thing to see when I read it.

    She's still with them, she wasn't there because she had a match with Eva Marie later on.

    I watched NXT last night, and goddamn that was quite the reaction Enzo and Cass got. After the last few years of no one getting over, it was almost surreal hearing anyone get a pop that loud in 2015.

    Well someone here listed armchair doctoring as one of their pet peeves, as if you need an MD and several years of practice to say taking head/neck bumps on a regular basis might not be good for you long term.
  11. If we're talking 1970s, yes. I thought this was a discussion about more recent events.
  12. One of the few things WCW was good at was always seeming to have the best possible opener on every show. Usually it was a cruiserweight or Lucha match that got the crowd excited and set the tone for the rest of the event. Of course the main events would more often than not stink up the joint, but that's a different topic. On the other hand, you can easily set a match up to fail as well. WWE has conditioned the fans that there will be a throw away piss break match between the two top matches so you have situations where Owens and Cesaro were led like lambs to slaughter at SummerSlam.

    OK so you're just mad Steph came out to do a promo. Got it.

    Jerry coming off pretty "WON board wrestling folder heel" here you guys, so contrarian.

    It's like they want to push him because he's great at talking and wrestling, but all Vince and Dunn seem to see is a fat guy.

    Thinking of how proud Dusty would have been of his girls, and I think someone must have been cutting onions around me.

    Meanwhile, while Jerry trolls everyone who actually watches NXT, these two are having a great match.

    Alexa with Blake & Murphy reminds me so much of Trish with Test and Albert in terms of how much of a bigger star she is than the jobbers she's managing.

    Trying so hard to not bust out laughing at work when the BLUE PANTS CITY chant broke out.

    Not gonna lie, I popped for Liger selfies.

    Liger walking down the ramp is just so surreal right now.

    Give me Gangrel any day. Especially the entrance. If you get Pop TV (former TV Guide Channel), Gangrel is on Paragon Pro Wrestling still doing more or less the same entrance.
  23. Not speaking spanish at all, that totally went over my head. However, I did learn what "tossing your salad" meant while listening to Konnan, and for that, I'm forever grateful. And peeling my potatoes... Funny how Konnan used to be able to get away with using prison/street/hip hop slang because nobody running the show was young or hip enough to know what was going on. I'm not even sure they had anybody aware of what was hip and cool other than Hall, Nash, Konnan, Rey, Jericho and a couple others. On the Spanish slang, to be fair to WCW, WWE is not censoring it either. I saw somebody (perhaps Alberto) using Spanish swear words fairly recently (2012 or after) that he would probably be fired over if they were in English on live TV. I seem to recall Alberto going on a Bret Hart like tirade I believe in the match where Sin Cara quit because he dislocated his finger.

    Well they've established the demon comes out at the big shows, and this is certainly a big show.
