What was the story with Rush/Park? First the referee called for the DQ out of nowhere despite it being a no-DQ match, then they kept wrestling for like six more minutes...and then they just walked out. Bizarre all around. With the way Rush was grabbing his hair and then picked up the mic, it looked to me like he was about to challenge Park to a hair/mask match but then thought better of going into business for himself.

I got a notification from the ESPN app saying the same thing. If true, it pretty well confirms that the Wellness Program is a joke. And Roman Reigns is an even bigger idiot than we thought.

Nobody thinks that Final Deletion is good. Which makes it all the more baffling that WWE would do a half-assed version.

How can you put the belt on a guy who's never around? The last time Lesnar was champion, they just never mentioned him unless he was on the show. Doing that again would kind of defeat the purpose of making him champ to capitalize on the publicity. I suppose they could have Heyman come out and cut promos on his behalf every week, but that'll get old in a hurry. But who the hell knows what this dumbass company will do. I will say, though, that I'm actually kind of excited about Lesnar/Orton. At least, as excited as I can be about anything WWE does these days. I think it has Goldberg/DDP potential.

Am I the only one who doesn't have permission to view that attachment?

Tony Romo is John Cena: he hasn't had the success of past aces and is hated by a significant chunk of the fanbase, but he's much better than his detractors make him out to be.

A bigger concern to me is WWE's tendency to turn wrestlers into one-note caricatures of their NXT gimmicks when they call them up. If there's nothing to Bayley on the main roster beyond "girl who hugs people," she's going to die horribly.

Cornette was certainly involved in some great things as a part of a booking team (1989 WCW, 1997 WWF), but he's never really had success as the head booker.

I hate the Rollins superplex/falcon arrow combination almost as much as I hate Ambrose's jawbreaker lariat.

What commie traitor region of the country do you live in where Eurotrash kickball is a bigger deal than the biggest NBA game in years?

AJW had a mandatory retirement age for a reason.

I rather doubt that Reigns would've gotten popped if ratings weren't in the toilet and Ambrose wasn't outdrawing him on the house show circuit. On the other hand, they weren't going to pull the plug on Reigns just because he wasn't drawing, because that would require Vince to admit that he made a mistake. The suspension allows them to depush Reigns while maintaining plausible deniability.

I'm certain that's what they did. In fact, I was one of the people who was watching the game and tuned in to the PPV after I found out it was still going on.

I figured Ambrose would cash in as as soon as Seth won. I thought it would come after a Roman beatdown, though.

In addition to the anti-Vader chants, Ospreay did a Vader Bomb that was kicked out of at one. That's amusing, if somewhat petty.

So apparently they're going to be using Billy Corgan as a heel authority figure. Between that and Big Money Matt, it's safe to say that TNA is in glorious trainwreck mode right now.

Gawker filed for protection under Chapter 11, which is roughly equivalent to the Canadian CCAA. What it basically boils down to is that they're trying to keep the creditors off their backs while the appeals process moves forward.

I'm not saying Nakamura should have been hobbled the whole match. I just wanted to see some token acknowledgement of the leg work, like shaking his leg to bring the feeling back or something. Also, you probably watch too much wrestling if you refer to Disney movie villains as heels.

Best I can tell, Heyman debuted the catchphrase on the 12/30/13 Raw. The shirt debuted the next week.

OK, pinfalls and submissions count. That's a relief.

Asuka/Jax wasn't too shabby at all. Kind of like a poor man's Vader/Takada.

I turned in during the Nakamura match. Match was solid, but him completely blowing off the leg work was pretty annoying.

Is the cage match escape only? I haven't seen anything specifying the rules on wwe.com or anywhere else.
