I believe it was Ric Flair according to Twitter My worry that No Way Jose would be mostly a Full Sail gimmick is kind of coming true. Although he has looked impressive against Aries

Are we sure the woman who just interviewed Bobby Roode has a pulse. Been catching up on the last 2 months and she makes Devin Taylor seem like Mauro Ranallo I have no idea who is winning tonight between Revival vs Gargano/Ciampa but I assume that the eventual tag team champions will be the Authors of Pain so it is a question of who will be the better opponents for them

Well they have teased that Galloway wants Riddle on the team. Plus they have shown a few times Gulak really pushing how much of a leader he is which I figure will lead to something with Riddle vs Gulak. Doing it tonight might be way too early. I figure the Thatcher vs Riddle war is over The only thing I don't understand is how the title seems to be extremely important yet Thatcher wants nothing to do with it. I am guessing that until he beats Riddle and Gulak he wasn't really a champ in his mind I don't know if it is a transformation or just something he has always had but the different in Fred Yehi from Dallas to this show is incredible. Always a damn good wrestler but how he is oozing personality with his wacky almost pajamas like gear and yelling "big trouble" and stuff. He is really a pleasant surprise from last night So it sounds like Joey Styles did announcing for today's show. Not too surprising given the ECW relationship with Gabe but I am guessing he is going to be really out of place in this company

I really enjoyed Riddle vs Thatcher in terms of physicality. The finish was just brutal. The ending with Gulak standing up to Thatcher and knocking him out with a back fist was incredible. That should be fun to watch So not only did Cody Rhodes beat Sabre Jr he made him quit to I believe to an indian death lock (probably something else). Given that Sabre was handling most of the match and that nobody remember Cody winning matches with a submission hold, this was a complete stunner and the crowd didn't believe it one bit. I guess he has to win but I don't about this one. Something tells me that he either beats Hero tonight or loses because of something Drew Galloway does

Never mind that, the idea that they would do an angle that Rosa Mendes of all people thought of (on Total Divas) is even more incredible. Although she wanted to do the "wardrobe malfunction" gimmick in a match not as a way to get out of a match.

I have only watched part of it (still need to finish it) but by "behavior" you mean he sounds drunk and disoriented then yeah. But most of his talking when not in a ring cutting a promo sounds like that. It seems there are a million things going off in that head of his and it is a struggle to get it out in a clear way. But that is one of the charms about him. if anything is going to get him in trouble, it is him trashing Brock Lesnar in his WM match as lazy and not willing to cooperate one bit

I saw the video and it really wasn't anything too "shoot" as people made it seem. I mean he thought the name of the title was kind of dumb not a big deal and he didn't understand why Reigns is being shoved but he used the "Vince has many correct things in the past" to justify why he is doing it now. The only thing I can come up is after hearing someone over and over again say that his comments is going to get him fired you just can't take it anymore and just fire him

i don't think anything short of prostitution will top "peeing for other people's drug test" as a way of getting money for wrestling tapes

God I would have loved a "Masters of the Maze" match because I have no idea how that would work

The Eva Marie would have been a much better if she wasn't smiling during the whole thing. But if it means she won't wrestle then I would prefer to see something like that for months. Plus it is incredible heel heat

I hope Ambrose is becoming a heel long term and not just for Ziggler. He is always been great as a crazy jerk. Plus it seems like he is talking more and more Dusty as a heel which is a plus Must be the grace period because Cole & JBL would have spent hours on that "Apollo Creed" mistake

Okay I was wondering what that was. At first I wonder if there was a west coast version of RAW

If you are a fan of the Bullet Club and/or New Japan, Ring of Honor is the company for you because that is the only thing that matters. I can't think of anything in ROH now that is getting a serious push besides them. They have some really good talent but they all seem to be stuck in the middle So basically Ring of Honor to me is 1996-1998 WCW with better financial management

Okay is Meltzer saying that the percentage of wrestlers dying from steroids is worse than the percentage of veterans who died at World War II. First of all I hope he is only considering US soldiers in this because I am sure the Japanese and Germans would disagree intensely on that one. But even so why the hell would you even try to make that analogy given the huge differential in number of people who actually died. With each month that wrestling bubble of his is getting smaller and smaller or his Twitter trolling is getting weirder and weirder

Dolph Zigger pinning AJ Styles is kind of bullshit but I guess they have to do something to put him to the top after making him nothing for years This wasn't a terrible show but nothing fresh about it and it seemed like some of the guys didn't even know it was live. And man JBL and Mauro having a screaming match for 2 hours is mute button material

I have a feeling most of the returning veterans like Shelton Benjamin will go to Smackdown to fill that roster up.

The next house show in the DC area is running at the same time as Monday Night RAW for the Smackdown brand. Not sure how great an idea that is If there is an award for the greatest entrance on the worst wrestler ever, Eva Marie tonight is a strong contender. Loved it

Holy shit there is no way I was predicting Balor winning against Reigns. No way a month ago even with the suspension did I think he would get pinned clean 2 main events in a row.

I hope you mean the cruiserweight wrestling each other and not the cruiserweights being the jobbers

I am not sure who is teaching who on how to dive to the floor between Sasha and Big E but both of them need to stop Glad to see Sasha win the belt but wouldn't it be much more exciting to it at Summerslam. I figure the rematch will be there

Holy shit Ambrose won clean So all of these weeks of making Reigns sympathetic for failing a drug test and then he takes the pin for the loss. So confusing Usos lifting up Ambrose was a hilarious OOPS moment given the last year

"The focus is going to be on the superstars". And then McMahons, Foley,and Bryan come out and show what bullshit that was. Something tells me there are going to be a lot of smoke and mirrors in this one Actually thought Roman Reigns would be booed much worse.

If was great if they cut it in half. Like most things involving Jericho

That mouth is going to give Enzo Amore a WWE career long after his wrestling doesn't deserve one. Don't know why they felt the need to bleep "crap" or close to it

Well the good news is that Smackdown at least keeps one title The bad news is that this match was a mess at the end.
