it is hard to say with a straight face that Triple H isn't trying to counter attack against Ring of Honor when for the 2nd time in a year they have booked a show at the same time and day after a ring of Honor show was booked. The ROH show during WM weekend was booked months before NXT show. I don't think they are trying to destroy Ring of Honor but they are definitely trying to put a dent to them as the #2 company right now. And ROH is definitely the #2 company right now unless you are delusional enough to think TNA is still strong Well the last time it happened they were lucky that there was a couple thousand extra fans from across the world that they can absorb both at the same time. Not sure if that will work in August in New York during Summerslam weekend.

Yeah Sullivan sounds like he is doing a Jim Barnett impersonation if Jim was drinking Was a great podcast to listen to.

Probably more intriguing that what they are planning on doing with Taker based on the spoilers

Believe me the fact that Rousey won't work WM next year has nothing to do with Rousey or the WWE. It is all because of Dana and it is going to take probably more than a Brock Lesnar appearance to change it

The biggest short term question is how is this impacting the Field of Honor show that as of now is running head to head with NXT Takeover. We still have another month to go but the idea of ROH running a ballpark show at the same time is moronic even if it has more popular New Japan stars

Probably one of the things that make the Flair podcast so great is that it is so unprofessional whether it is eating on the mic or getting drunk or exposing backstage stuff that he probably shouldn't

Okay so let me understand this. For the entire 2014, you pushed Bully Ray powerbombing Dixie Carter through a table to which it actually happened and was treated like Hogan winning the WWF title in 1984. Now Dixie is good now and needs a commissioner/authority figure/whatever and she chooses Bully Ray. Unless this is leading to a Bully Ray or Dixie heel turn that is so damn dumb So how many weeks until Velvet Sky is the Knockouts champion given the Bully Ray thing. Haven't checked the spoilers for I guess the last month or so

The worse reaction that PWG ever gave anyone was when Shane Helms worked a match on a show 2 or 3 years ago. That was on a show with RVD working half ass too. Storm and Magnus style are similar and doesn't fit the kind of match PWG fans want to see.

So Stardust comes back in his first match since dusty passes away and the crowd just doesn't seem to care. I think they were being respectful in the beginning but they don't want anything to do with Stardust. They want Cody Rhodes

Too early to be all "they are doomed or "the revolution of the divas have begun". I don't care how great Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks is, if she is doing 4 minute matches then they are basically Emma 2.0 and 3.0. It kind of looked like Becky Lynch was getting the crap beat out of her by Brie because everyone else was running wild and she was hurting for a while I liked that they decided to put Sasha Banks with team Naomi and not try to make her something different than the "Boss"

And this was after him basically trying to justify why Jose Aldo should fight with bruised ribs and do the job for the good of the business. The idea that he trumped that is amazing. The idea that Makabe has been faking being a below average guy for at least 5 years would make him of the best workers in the world if true. So yeah no. It reminds of me when Cena was crushing the Rock in promos for the first WM match and him and others were doing the same "he is sucking on purpose to be on Cena's level" spiel and it was so sad

That and the fact that most of the media in MMA are also pro wrestling fans and tried to use the logic in this situation. What Meltzer was trying to do was convince Aldo that "jobbing" to Connor and losing the belt was a good idea in the long run. I mean who cares how injured Aldo really is right. the really bad part is that it kind of sounds like he thinks Mendes should do the same because him winning the title hurts business against Aldo and hurt the future earnings of Connor because he was exposed. Maybe true but sorry unless you want to rig the sport then that is the way it is

The problem with Omega title run is that it was all about gimmicks and interference. I mean I can understand schtick against a guy like Taguchi but you are wasting a Shelley vs Omega with plunder then it is pretty sad. This was the first match in a long time where Omega got to show his skills in the ring This was a thumbs in the middle show. Shibata vs Sakuraba was great fun and I enjoy Yano in comedy matches that aren't really supposed to be comedy matches. The final two matches were damn good and love the ending of Styles vs Okada. But the middle part of the show was awful. I would probably enjoy the jr tag title match more if I hadn't binge watched the Super Junior and saw the same stuff 3 or 4 times in the last week. Anybody who thought that Bennett/Taven were brought in for their ability needs to watch New Japan more because it is clear the only thing that matters to them was Maria asshole which was shown as close to humanly possible without actual entry. They really should have Jr tag guys face Anderson/Gallows because I have no idea who their next challenger is unless Mandy Leon or some other sexy woman with a great ass in the US has a team on the rise. Strange that you had all of those people outside for the Bullet Club except the one person who feuded with him for about 4 months and actually pinned Okada in Bad Luck Fale. Guess they don't want people to remember that

John Cena in the corner is pretty funny watching Dolph get the crap beat out of him for 10 minutes.

Well I assume that Owens losing the NXT title is a perfect set up for Owens winning the US title at Battleground or whatever the show is called. I mean that is the only reason to justify him beating Finn today if he wasn't beating Cena

The idea that Cole put over Dragon Gate, FMW, and Bull Nakano (although said wrong) in the last 20 minutes tells me that he is working mostly solo which is how it should be. Also the fact that he is actually working with Saxton unlike in RAW where he spends 3 hours acting like he wished he was dead. Especially after correcting Cole

Wait a minute Jericho worked in FMW? Really good match given that Jericho isn't in the best shape. I would bitch about Neville losing but it is too early in the day

Loved the Funk interview with Flair. For people that are complaining about the content, you are going to realize when you get the older that the conversations with your friends are going to be more and more about mortality and "whatever happened to" moments. You'll get there soon you young whipper snappers Love the idea of Terry Funk leaving the WWF a couple times by saying that his horse was sick and close to death and Flair saying stuff like "hell I still have trouble keeping my clothes on on flights"

Well that would make sense if it wasn't for the fact that it happened 2 weeks ago.

Based on my twitter feed there has been abut a dozen technical issues in the last 5 - 10 minutes and they have no clue how to handle it. Sounds like a 5 star botch a mania video coming soon

It is back up. Downloading it now and looking forward to it

Is everyone able to get to the podcast. I went to the link and I can't get it to load to the download. Looks like it is trying to load but stops at the end

The first half of the special was almost all documentary stuff which really bothered me because it seemed so lazy. the second half of the special from the Ric Flair interview on was great though as we saw the interviews from NXT and WWE stars

if they thought that was going to get heel heat then fuck were they mistaken on that one. To most fans that makes him more even popular
