Catching up on IMPACT show and am I over-reacting thinking that Aaron Rex is a terrible version of every stereotypical view of gay people. It is clear they are going that way with the commentators saying things like "well this is 2017" or "people can be what they want" I mean he isn't even trying to be like Adrian Street or Rico and is a complete pansy that doesn't want punishment. He is barely Adrian Adonis right now. Never mind the fact that he has had over 4 or 5 different characters in the last 3 or 4 years so it is completely phony

Not sure if it is a hard to find holy grail but on the Collection for Black History month they have a Florida 1972 match with Bearcat Wright vs Jack Brisco vs Boris Malenko. Of course it is Florida so it is only last 2 or 3 minutes

Yeah clearly Bryan is "don't give a fuck mode" on Talking Smack. which is awesome. I mean talking about how he might change the booking 30 minutes before the show and just being a real dick to the heels

Now if we can only convince people that Wyatt beating Orton at Wrestlemania is a good idea Love that it was a completely clean finish where he beat BOTH Cena and Styles. No bullshit from Orton

Funny how Cena does an AA against the Miz and it actually get the pin and then we go back to Cena's finishers not working unless it is done 3 or 4 times

So far the theme of tonight is to lose badly but still look strong at the end of the match. Did it with Ziggler kind of and definitely did that with Corbin. I assume we get Ambrose vs Corbin as a WM pre show match

Well they are trying to replace the blood with these insane bumps from high distances. One of the advantages of this new structure The Miz reaction of complete horror scared as shit is great

Think they also replaced the steel mesh that was around the ring but not sure with what. Remember those bumps on them looked painful in the original version

So am I looking at this right but can you actually climb out of the chamber. The top looks like that awful TNA match that ruin Homicide's career

So the set up for a wrestlemania match involving John Cena is Nikki Bella accidentally throwing makeup powder in Maryse's face

Damn what a great match. You knew Luke Harper wasn't winning but that was all about showing what a great talent he is.

Based on the plans for Nikki Bella at Wrestlemania, I am not sure how they are going to finish up the Natalya feud. If it wasn't for the fact that Tyson Kidd is hurt and a lower card person that should be the mixed match The beginning of the match was dumb given the hatred but that is an unfortunately beginning of most WWE matches. After the early part that was a really good match

Wow that made the Ascension look like losers

It seems like there has been dozens of gauntlet and battle royal tag team matches since Smackdown Live has been around. Very few team vs team feuds

A "Thank you Ziggler" chant for destroying Appolo's ankle. Unless he is getting a gimmick makeover then his WWE run was a complete disaster

Wow Ziggler was the one who lost in that. Man if it wasn't for that Lawler segment you would have thought the heel turn never happened Well that is Crews exit from the company

The only purpose of this Ziggler handicap match is to bury the shit out of the loser and given how things are Crews needs a complete do over. JBL deliberately falling down on his entrance is incredible. Has anyone ever like Sam Roberts? Fuck he is awful

Not sure what is the bigger highlight of the Talking Smack show, Natalya beat down of Nikki or John cena's rather stoic "well that must have sucked" reaction. if they are going to do something with John & Nikki at Wrestlemania then he needs to up the show of concern a little bit

Trying to figure out the wrestling equivalent of Kellyane Conway. Maybe early SMW Tammy Sytch before he started getting it. You need that right level of passive aggressiveness and "I don't you so" annoyance

Well if this story about Seth Rollins re-injuring his knee on RAW isn't a work, maybe it will be sooner than you think

Yeah that was so much better than being a little piece to the Royal Rumble. Joe being the muscle for Triple H works great.

I am starting to think that they are planning a heel turn for Enzo & Cass. These segments are growing longer and longer and the crowds are getting less and less into them. That segment at the Rumble almost turned them for how bad it was Not a fan of short hair Lana by the way

Well given that he spent about 80% of the match outside the ring he would have plenty of time to help navigate this match
