The Madusa episode of Legends With JBL was pretty good: - Was Madusa homeless between her WCW and WWF stints? The timeline on that confused me. I don't remember there being such a gap between her time in WCW and her arrival in the WWF as Alundra Blayze, but it has been decades since I've watched any of that stuff. - Excellent point that the Montreal Screwjob might not have ever happened if Madusa hadn't trashed the belt. - WOW at her saying Trish wasn't a great wrestler. Such a refreshing change from the "official" WWE talking point that Trish was the best ever and the pioneer and savior of women's wrestling.

Do you think we'll see James Ellsworth traded to Raw? I can't see where else he can go after the inevitable loss to AJ, unless they milk that storyline with AJ vs. Ambrose vs. Ellsworth at the Royal Rumble.
-
What a disgrace. There's no way in any era or promotion that a massive megastar like Randy Savage should ever be putting over someone as marginal as Rick Steiner in a singles match. Yes, The Steiner Brothers were a "legendary" (albeit wildly overrated) tag team, but Rick never had nearly the same impact on his own.
-
First I've heard of that. Not disputing you, just pointing out that the sensational headline got all the attention - like with most stories - and the follow-up and clarification barely registered a blip. It wouldn't surprise me if the majority of smark fans still believe Hero got fired because of his weight - I know I did. So, in light of that, I don't think it's an outrageous first thing to point out.
-
Why? That was reportedly the reason he was fired in the first place. In this particular instance, it's a relevant topic to bring up. Looks like he's not signed anyway (unless he's swerving everyone with his tweet), so moot point. If he is signed, I can't see him returning as KO, for obvious reasons. Hopefully they'd let him be Chris Hero this time.

If Roman doesn't have a spot, I could see him winning the Andre Royal.

True, Undertaker is on Smackdown and Reigns is on Raw, but that's never stopped WWE before - especially at WrestleMania.
-
Reigns vs. Undertaker?
-
Ric Flair suggested the following WM matches on his podcast: - Charlotte vs. Ronda Rousey - Triple H vs. Shane McMahon I actually like the second one. There's a genuine issue there (maybe), and because they're against each other, they both take up one spot on the card instead of two. I have no interest in seeing either of them against anyone else on the roster. Even Triple H vs. Seth Rollins holds no appeal for me. The turn was convoluted and pointless, and Rollins has flopped hard as a babyface.
-
Ironically, he was a fantastic face before The Shield turn, to the point where most people were questioning if he could ever be an effective heel. Unfortunately, that hasn't been the case this time. His entire turn has been bungled so badly, starting with his return where he got a massive face reaction only to heel the crowd right away. He lost everyone for good after that. It reminds me of the terrible Miz and Del Rio face turns. In all three cases, the timing was bad, the motivation for the turn was spotty, and their characters could never "flip the switch." For whatever reason, Seth is still playing the post-Shield version of his character, but as a face. That doesn't work at all. Only Stone Cold could get away with that, and Seth Rollins is no Stone Cold.
-
Didn't he kill his parents though? Or was that Kane? Seriously though, the KO example is a perfect one. Everything he does, he does for his family. It's not unreasonable that Alexa Bliss is also more complicated than "total bitch." Shouldn't we be happy that WWE has progressed beyond "catty" as a personality trait for every single female? With that said, yeah, she broke kayfabe, and yeah, it was jarring. But Bryan and Renee encouraged her, so that's obviously what they wanted. When it came time for her to turn her game-face back on, she did just that and heeled it up with relish.
-
Now I want to see that happen.
-
Did AJ's tights split in the back?
-
Alexa Bliss is someone who seems like she was initially meant to be a throwaway challenger, but through hard work and sheer personality over the past few months, she elevated herself. Great stuff.
-
MOTN. The best match of Baron Corbin's career?
-
Agreed. The match was a snoozefest at first - anyone who doesn't see that, I don't know what to tell you - but the final 10 minutes were a damn great stretch.
-
So happy to be wrong!
-
It's getting good now. Miz is selling his ass off.
-
Mauro calling this snoozer between The Miz and Ziggler "the culmination" and "the last chapter" pretty much gives away that the babyface - Ziggler - is winning.

Billy Corgan on Dixie Carter: "There's a little joke that I make about Dixie Carter and it goes something like this. She survived Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff, Vince Russo, Dutch Mantel, Bruce Prichard, and Jeff Jarrett, and now, by extension, Billy Corgan. Okay, so if add up those list of people that she, quote-unquote, and this is my joke, survived, then you say, what makes a person want to do that? And I think the simplest answer is the truest answer. You have somebody so desperate to be in that spot that they will literally do anything, say anything, be anything, and rub anybody out of the way, to maintain that spot. And there is a common belief that you hear, obviously, when you're involved with TNA, professionally, as I was. "There is a common belief out there that Dixie is dumb and easily worked. I would like to posit to the world a completely different theory and it's the exact opposite. She's the ultimate worker because she worked all those people, including me. She gets you to believe something about her that's not true, and maybe gets you to underestimate her intelligence, her ruthlessness, that she can still somehow come out on top. And the fact that she's willing to be so publicly humiliated, repeatedly, I think shows you how deeply she's invested in the public personality or the public opportunity that she wants to have. Don't ask me the deeper psychology because I am not a psychologist, but I've never seen anything like it and I've been in the entertainment business for 30 years." http://wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2016/1201/619871/billy-corgan-on-tna-settlement/
