I thought the first 20 minutes were kinda boring, I wasn't compelled by anything they did. It picked up for the final third, the OT was really good.

We really need an update on the board to embed tweets... Anyway, WWE announced today they are doing a UK Tournament for the Network starting in January, with the winner getting this belt Nigel McGuinness will be a co-host and was today in the announcement. https://twitter.com/WWE/status/809358953708744704 It's gonna be a 16 man tourney.

Sorry if this offends you so much, but this is a major issue with our society, the food issues, and the medical profession. Do these guys need a six pack or a flat stomach? Is that even possible with them? Would that make them healthier? These are questions we do not know the answer to. Why call them fat? What is the point? Let's all post pictures of ourselves and call 99% fat by your standards, will that help anything? They are great or bad pro wrestlers based on their skills, not on their bellies. How is that even relevant to anything? Does it offend you to see their stomachs? The hell? During the GWE you were calling some wrestlers fat all the time and saying how awesome they are, just like stro has called 2016 Chris Hero fat and awesome. You are trying to make this a way bigger discussion than what it is and I have no clue why. I wonder if that problem is because of the talent (there's little room for less known wrestlers) or because Ryan Ward left for SD.

That was fucking perfect.

The funniest part is that the Tokyo Dome isn't the best venue to find great japanese matches. Like, at all.

Kinda surprised how little discussion there's been for the WON HOF this year, at least on this board.

That was pretty great. Wanted Miz to get the W but the crowd eat that up...which makes me wonder why they didn't end the show with this match.

It better be Dolph retiring and getting a sendoff....

Now I REALLY want Miz to win, but I can't see it happening. Agreed.

According to Bryan, that match wasn't taped. Doubt there's a fan cam of a random house show in 04'.

It was mostly explained in the mockumentary. In 2013 Bryan started to appear a lot on the JBL & Cole youtube show, that at the time was doing a talent show among some wrestlers. D-Bry created a character called "The Dazzler" that showed that one of his talents was wrestling a bear - he also did a hilarious rap with Kane and a ninja bit with Regal that was amazing - that same week Bryan did commentary on Saturday Morning Slam were he kept the gimmick going and connected every match to wrestling a bear (you can hear a lot of his sound bites in the mockumentary) so it became kind of a "thing". Now, why they did a 20 minute documentary on this during his time off in 2015 I have no clue. I guess he was bored and wanted to have fun with it, I find it surprising how much preparation though, I'm surprised WWE didn't upped it sooner on their youtube channel.

He's given Satánico major props too. In a recent interview he even said that's one of his dream opponents.

Yeah, I heard the last WOR and he was praising how great the Miz/Dolph segment was. It was Alvarez how say he hated it and had a little back and forth with Dave about it.

Or Rollins during the Authority era.

Now I want a best of 7 between Rusev and Roman. I hope Rusev doesn't get lost in the shuffle like the did the first time he lost that belt. I guess he's gonna get a rematch but after that they better come up with something worth a damn for him.

I think Dylan had an interesting take about this on twitter...if I knew how to embed tweets on this board I'd do it but I can only copy/paste what he wrote. https://twitter.com/DylanWaco/status/779394612297216000 [MEDIA=twitter]779394612297216000[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=twitter]779395384099557376[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=twitter]779395543407599616[/MEDIA]

Metalik is awesome glad he's in the Final.

Bryan's been like that on interviews for years though. He's always saying stuff WWE wouldn't want their talent to say or revealing details that don't always make the company look good. I don't see him asking for his release again nor WWE granting him it even if he did. I don't think his "forced" retirement will lead to anything until his contract expires in 2018.

Man can't wait for AJ to have an Ace run till at least Wrestlemania. Dude is something else.

I wanna say Ryan Ward but who knows.

So it's gonna be a B movie based on his life?

I loved it. It was exactly what it was supposed to be, a bloody brawl between two bitter rivals beating the fuck out of each other. Really liked the short length and how they kept things moving.

Or a returning Rusev, but that would make too much sense.

They did that with Kane and Big Show for years, they just weren't able to make their characters as compelling as Jericho. Big Show could sometimes make things interesting though.

So, Roman or Rusev? Considering this board tries to go away from "Great Match Theory" - which is really refreshing - I think it's an interesting discussion. I think I like Rusev more but not by much.
