Great wrestling doesn't always need commentary to help out, but sometimes so-so wrestling can be made way better by good commentary. Also it helps when your commentators get feuds and angles over to help get everyone over to the people watching at home. There's nothing worse than commentators (in any language) that spend all their time getting themselves over or just fucking around instead of trying to sell the audience on what's going on.

Yeah, it seems like he's at the point where his body is in good shape for normal life activities and doesn't feel the need to bang it all up in a match again.

Technically Vince and Hunter have performer contracts when they have matches so they would be subject to the policy in theory, but of course there's no chance of it actually happening.

So Bryan mentioned in an interview that he wasn't actually cleared to return to wrestle until the day before his first match back. That doesn't seem to be the thing you want to say when there's already stories out about how mickey mouse your training staff/doctors are.

I would also assume Dusty had gastric bypass, he has the gaunt look people tend to get afterwards due to dropping a lot of weight quickly. A co worker of mine recently had it done and he went from over 500 pounds to around 300 in less than a year and he has the same look.

Topically related, Russo's time in TNA shouldn't be overlooked when considering his body of work. One of the main reasons the company is looked at as the terminally running in place zombie it became is how he completely booked it into the ground when there was a time (a brief one, but still) where there could have been something there.

I noticed this too, it's like they can't help pointing out how much better he is in all aspects.

So how exactly is having both guys act heelish supposed to get Reigns and Bryan more over?

That really has been the biggest plot hole of the last year, Bryan had to be stripped in storyline because you can't have the belt not be defended regularly, yet that's exactly what's been happening the last year. They don't seem to realize that either, since they had Cena make the threat to hold the title hostage if he won it.

Wow, it's not going to help Hunter's rep in the business world when WWE has to post a job that more or less breaks down to "do the Executive VP's job for him 24/7 while he pretends he is the one doing all the work". Not to mention there's no way whoever gets that job makes it two years before burning out and/or running into the street screaming from stress.

Cracking up while booking this in my mind right now. They finally find Sting and tie him up only to find it's really Old Man Jenkins wearing a mask.

Yeah I know he lost a lot of weight, but that's one of the silly things that WWE is hung up on that doesn't matter to literally anyone else but is vitally important to them.

It's weird to me that Corbin is getting the push he is, since he doesn't seem to have anything going for him other than being tall. Even that might just be an optical illusion from being around smaller guys in NXT. His physique is weird (someone pointed out it looks like his stomach has a mouth and now I can't unsee it), and it looks like his hair is thinning on top. Those seem like things that wouldn't pass the Kevin Dunn test on the main roster, which makes it odd he's being pushed so hard.

Sometimes I wonder if Kevin Dunn goes around tearing down NXT posters so Vince never sees them and realize how nearly the entire roster there is better than the almost everyone in WWE. There's going to be a point where he slips up and Vince ends up watching a Finn Balor match, and ends up launching ol' Kev into the sun when he suggests giving him a leprechaun gimmick on Raw.

Anyone else get the feeling Zayn and Steen are going to end up being this generation's Flair/Steamboat? It seems no matter where they end up the result is great matches.

Funny this thread comes up when I was just watching 95-96 Raws and thinking about what Waltman's career would have been like if he wasn't injured. Both guys were capable of great matches, but Arn was a top five promo of all time so that will give him the edge in my book.

Someone actually asked HHH about it on the NXT conference call and he just brushed it off as a personal matter. I'd wager Hunter would be more upset at the pics of the NXT trainee getting out than Seth's. He probably sat him down and said "next time can you try fucking someone other than one of my girls please?".

After Raw, it almost seems like WWE is saying if fans won't accept our guy lets be petty and kill all the steam their guy has so no one gets over.

Fuck's sake Johnny, we all know that. Just enjoy the humor of the timing.

Well, I think we all know the difference between getting hacked and doing a porn movie where you get anal dp'd by guys dressed up as Cena and Mean Gene. Lol I don't know if it was a hack as much as his girlfriend/fiancee found nude pics of another woman on his phone and decided to go nuclear in response.

How funny is it the week after HHH stated Chyna can't go in the HOF due to googling resulting in porn, googling for Seth Rollins brings up dick pix and tattooed boobs.

I would assume both were being courted, with Hall signing first and Nash using that as leverage to get himself a better deal (which makes me think the $450k offer mentioned was probably the correct one).

Word is NBC is pretty pissed at him but there's nothing they can do since he just signed a big money deal and there's no one being groomed as the successor. If that's the case they probably won't get mad at WWE for making fun of him.

I would imagine it would be just Vince humor, having an admitted liar do a Breaking News bit on someone admitting to telling a lie. Being a star and all that.

I know the CMLL world heavyweight title doesn't mean that much, but it's still kind of amazing that in all of wrestling the first father/son combo to win the same world title is Super Porky and Maximo.
