It would be nice if they put the same effort into their PPVs that they put into producing a rib on Michael Hayes.

Nice to see WWE Being A Star by mocking AJ fainting in Europe. It's not like they don't have two injury prone guys as champs right now....oh wait.

It was a close fight, it may have looked different live (Dave often says his opinion who wins changes based on if he was seeing a fight live or on TV) but I felt that giving GSP anything more than two rounds was a gift. That doesn't take away that Dana came off as the white MMA version of Don King last night.

GSP did a post fight promo clearly showing the effects of head trauma from the beating he took, and Dana was basically all "aw, he's fine he'll be back for his next fight" that really made him look bad in our Concussion Aware climate.

It was also funny how for weeks after when hyping upcoming events, they would have Thunder & Lightning photos with their faces obscured despite them being in several matches unmasked (and doing promos) at that point.

Well that's by far WWE's biggest problem. People complain about creative, but clearly they have people who come up with good ideas. The issue is that they get changed around 100x a day before each show. It seems like Vince doesn't have anyone to tell him when something doesn't need changed around, and he's constantly second guessing things.

The actual bump to the buckle seems safe, what scares me is the guy delivering the move really can't see how close he is when doing it. There were a couple times watching ROH TV I thought I was going to see someone's neck broken.

Any double footstomp move makes me cringe since there doesn't really seem to be any way to minimize the impact.

What was the Facebook post all about?

I agree that Gabriel seemed custom made to be the next Jeff Hardy "high flyer with a bit of danger the girls like", and they even seem to sort-of push him that way at times. Not sure why they never went all out with it. I guess the emphasis on less car crash type bumping would be the reason.

I know everyone points out how much Silas Young looks like his uncle, but to me he looks like a young Bill Cowher.

I hope this is true just so TNA can improve their horrible theme music.

He doesn't look nearly as bad when he's not just finishing a 20 minute match.

Only if they break up because of Punk's lustful eyes toward Brie Bella.

What's depressing is if WWE takes anything away from people's reaction (which is a big if in itself), they'll probably assume people are just mad Bryan lost and miss the point completely. I'll admit I really would love to see a potential Bryan-HBK match, but it's just really a turnoff that in 2013 it seems like WWE is now just Hunter and Pals Run Wild. Even when Vince comes back to kick off their big WM angle for control of the company, it's still going to be reruns of shit we saw over and over again. In fact, I would submit to the court that the most damaging thing to pro wrestling in the US has been WWE's idea that the company is the draw rather than the wrestlers. Not only does that fly in the face of over a hundred years of history, it guarantees you'll never create new stars because you've established they are just interchangeable parts.

Guess Daniel Bryan is now 2013's Lex Luger as the guy who can't win the big one.

Mr. Backlund doing the Millions of Dollars dance made the PPV worth it.

Maybe all the people who bet on WWE will put their money on Orton, and Vince will change the match just to fuck with them. Because as you know, internet fans are too small a number to worry about, but a handful of people betting on worked matches warrant changing PPV finishes.

The problem with painting HHH as "the guy the office didn't believe in back in the day" is the audience that is geared to get heat with knows he was pushed down everyone's throats from day one. It's not even like HHH: Company Man is a new gimmick. Hell, right now you can go to WWE On Demand and watch Raws from 1999 where he's part of the Corporation.

I don't begrudge a guy for wanting to get paid, but he wasn't the only one to compile those results for his site.

So I can't decide if Triple H is just really good at working the internet with his heel character or if he's being a petty, insecure bitch after that promo to end Raw. Burying guys who don't work for the company in a way that serves no storyline purpose is kind of a dick move, but his comments seem a little too on the nose (no pun intended) and come off like he's purposely trying to "werk the smarts".

The clasico match from last week's WWC TV was Invader I&III vs the Sheepherders in a barbed wire match. It was surprisingly not as violent as you'd expect a match with those guys to be but once it got going it was pretty damn good. Also watching El Bronco on the current show showed how WWC these days seems to be the bizarro world version of TNA where the old guys are entertaining and putting on good matches and the young guys seem to be all blended together.

What kills me is when WCW was circling the bowl, pretty much everything was shit so ending it was a mercy killing. TNA actually has good matches most weeks and their PPVs are usually good wrestling wise. It makes it all the more frustrating that they can't ever get anyone who knows what they're doing to run the place.

For all the criticism WWE gets for telling the fans what they want instead of listening to them at times, CMLL continues to baffle me. First they piss off the largest house they ever drew by not giving them the Atlantis-Ultimo Guererro match they all paid to see, and now they don't call an audible and have Porky win the Super Libre+ hair match last night. Both guys have lost hair matches before, and it would have been a great feel good moment after the guy's brother just died a few days ago.
