Has Undertaker showed up yet? He's waay to high if he hasn't.

Shocked Brody is doing so well. I thought that by this point the backlash against him would be stronger, 151 ballots is a lot but I still thought dude wouldn't do well (he didn't make my list either btw).

Damn, my ballot getting fleeced today. Aries, Nagata, Sasaki, Yatsu, Yamazaki Dutch and Hayes.

Add Bray Wyatt to the list of injuries at the worst possible time. His match with Reigns at the European tour had to be stopped after Bray hurt his leg.

I'm shocked and happy Daisuke Sekimoto hasn't shown up yet.

Roddy made it to the top 250, glad I contributed.

Terry Taylor at 16 is almost as "holy shit" as Quack at 6 to me.

I think I had the most boring ballot, no one from my top 100 has shown up yet.

the problem is he treats everyone like idiots and is a douche to them. That goes for good questions as well. He's always done that with Alvarez, the thing is we now get to read him do it to other people.

Man that crowd was absolutely unbearable that segment. Fuck them.

were they chanting "limb work city"?

Titus is getting them 'deavors?

I haven't watched much WWE TV in the last 2 months. When did Rusev started losing weight?

Momma Bella got married yesterday (to Johnny Ace) maybe he asked to not be at MSG because of this? Doesn't explain axxess and the other dates though.

Done. Kinda surprised the 4 lucha guys I was able to really sink my teeth in did so well (all top 35) considering I really can't get into Lucha, I guess the fact that those 4 were able to make me continue to watch despite my struggles with the style made them stand out. Biggest regret was not making the time to watch World Of Sports and Joshi, though I have no idea how I would've made a ballot trying to fit 8-10 more names on the list.

Agreed. Bryan used to beat the shit outta Big Show when he made his heel turn. He was a cowardly heel but he still was a bad ass in the ring. Show bumped his ass off for him too.

So..uh..Ziggler then?

What are the chances of Austin being the one that helps Shane win?

Are you guys gonna review the Misawa vs Vader match from the Giant Baba Memorial show on 99'? People tend to rate the rematch from October higher but I would love to hear your thoughts on both matches.

Then I guess my problem with the "Political Hit" theory was just about semantics. Political Hit, and the way you guys make it sound on the reaction shows, sounds way more like a conspiracy plan than the "part incompetence-part HHH being HHH sabotaging people" situation you are explaining right now. Still, I don't see Roman's situation being that different from other occasions were Hunter schemed his way to put himself in a position of power. I guess my problem with the theory was "why call this situation a political hit NOW and not before?".

Reigns has been booked like crap since. Rusev has been booked even worse. They may know how to handle the initial build, but they sure as hell can't sustain it. Even Brock was fucked around with his first year. I don't even mean the Cena loss, which I absolutely praised back then because it was right decision at the time (Brock walked away from his previous run and Cena was the ace, so they weren't about to put their eggs in the Brock basket again right away because that would've been a bad business decision if he had bailed a second time) - I'm referring more to the baffling Triple H series and WM loss. They know how to sustain it. They don't want to sustain it. They were done with Rusev. They decided to make something out of Brock finally and then followed through with it. I don't believe anything in WWE happens by accident other than fan responses. By that logic, WWE hasn't wanted to sustain anything in the last, what, 10 years?

edit: delete, missed like 2 pages thinking the conversation stopped at page 3.

Not being Stephanie and having stories about ruining creative by bringing soap opera writers - and I don't even remember if that was a Steph or Vince thing, but I do recall people blaming Steph for it - and being gone for so long made Shane someone the fans don't know enough about his backstage role so he's automatically "better" because he can't be any worse, I think.

There's also a meta thing were fans are pissed at WWE for giving them a shitty product. Shane has always been the defacto "good McMahon" for a lot of them, him coming back also gives them hope things can change.

Nah. I N C O M P E T E N C E We've heard for months they would try to recreate the Daniel Bryan storyline. That was the same thing they did with Bryan when he was handcuffed and Steph slapped the piss out of him. It failed for obvious reasons.
