  1. Try clearing cookies for the site. I remember that fixing my past issues. Does the Network site still use Flash? Hopefully not. But if it does, maybe see if there's a Flash upgrade? (Flash is buggy, dangerous, a piece of shit, and I wish sites would stop using it. YouTube, for example, functions perfectly without it.)
  2. Ryback sent home (cagesideseats.com) That sucks. He really turned a corner with both Kalisto matches.

    I really question whether Dave still has passion for wrestling anymore, or has in over a decade. Sometimes I wonder if he just sticks with it because it's his bread and butter. Does anyone actually care about his MMA output? I highly doubt he's any kind of name in that world. Even if he is, I'm pretty certain he's not considered the premier reporter (or one of) in MMA like he is in wrestling.

    I didn't love the main event either - not sure what everyone is going so gaga over - but even though none of the matches were classics IMO, the entire show was fun and more than the sum of its parts. With that said, I thought Roman handled himself well in the match. I never got the sense that he was in over his head. However, it did seem at first that AJ was slowing down his pace for Roman's sake.

    Count me in as another one who thought this was a hell of a fun show (other than the scary and nasty Enzo injury, obviously). Sure, there are things that can be nitpicked, but this is the most fun I've had with a WWE PPV in a long, long time.

    Great match, even better weight belt.

    Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but that's been going on a while.

    Not a huge Corbin fan myself, but he has improved. Still don't see him ever progressing beyond a Ryback-level spot on the card, but still. It's not like they're going to give Dolph a major push ever again either.

    What a fucking waste. Job Jobbler is finished as a top act...kaput. Baron should've gotten it. Bullshit 50/50 WWE booking rears its ugly head again.

    Is Kalisto/Ryback still there too, or did that get bumped up? If the U.S. Title is on the main show now, maybe we're getting a new champ? Edit: Never mind, still on the pre-show.
  11. You should watch some shoot clips of Al Snow on YouTube, if you haven't already. Completely changed my opinion of him. What a bitter, disgruntled, unhappy little man - and he throws around the "r" word like it's going out of style. Not a good look in today's climate.

    It's not unheard of for an NXT wrestler to go from face to heel, but I don't see it happening. Finn is far too entrenched as a face. If they're planning a main roster run for him as a heel, I expect him to be a heel for a few months in NXT first.

    Predictions: US Title: Kalisto vs. Ryback: This is the pre-show, so the face usually wins. Plus, this match is specifically on the pre-show to punish Ryback for his comments IMO. Winner: Kalisto Dolph Ziggler vs. Baron Corbin: End of Days for Job Jobbler. Winner: Baron Corbin Intercontinental Title: The Miz vs. Cesaro: As much as I love Cesaro, this should have been Ryder's match and spot. 50/50 in my mind, but I'll go with the champ retaining by nefarious means (DQ, countout, etc.), leading to a rematch at the next PPV. Winner: The Miz Sami Zayn vs. Kevin Owens: Another 50/50 in my mind. Zayn needs the win more, but I expect Owens to get it by underhanded means. Zayn is the "Ultimate Underdog" so he'll live to fight another day. Winner: Kevins Owens Dean Ambrose vs. Chris Jericho: The only reason, IMO, that Alcoholic Lame Dad beat AJ last month was to make this a more credible victory for Deano, who needs a win even more than Zayn. Winner: Dean Ambrose Tag Team #1 Contenders Tournament Final: Enzo Amore & Big Cass vs. The Vaudevillains: Enzo/Cass vs. New Day would be too entertaining. Therefore... Winners: The Vaudevillains WWE Women's Title: Charlotte vs. Natalya: Probably a crazy prediction, but I can see Natalya getting this as sort of lifetime achievement recognition for all she's done. Plus, why trot out grumpy ass Bret only to watch his niece lose again? Not to mention, Flair's bad behavior has to be punished somehow, and Charlotte is the only one who can realistically be "Triple H'd" for that. Winner: Natalya WWE WHC: Roman Reigns vs. AJ Styles: The Gallows/Anderson "intrigue" has been a nice little distraction, but storylines like that in WWE have never amounted to anything major or shocking. Expect the status quo to remain. Winner: Not a good guy, not a bad guy, just THE guy, Roman Reigns, because you're crazy if you think a Southern TNA 'rassler is gonna vanquish The Roman Empire!
  15. What the hell does Arn have to be bitter about? I love Double A, but come on, he massively overachieved in his career.
  16. And now Kyle Edwards. https://twitter.com/KyleEdwardsWWE/status/726119968279023616
  17. I'd take Adams. Unlike Clarke, Crush was fairly over and had decent undercard runs on both the face and heel side. In contrast, were either Adam Bomb or Wrath even remotely over? No, not really. Plus, when Adams showed up in WCW, a friend's kid brother went nuts. This was during the Nitro era when much bigger names were showing up every week. Fun little memory.

    NXT talk

    Fair enough, but no one cares about Graves' character anymore - he's no longer a wrestler and it's not about him. I am all for consistency too, but the commentary was a complete distraction IMO and took away from the match. As for the ragtag aspect (lol), Graves would get the door slammed in his face equally as hard as Drifter if either of them showed up to date someone's daughter.

    NXT talk

    Same here, LOL. But what was with the abysmal commentary in the main event, with both of the commentators being against Samson? Especially Graves with his JBL-levels of burying. Just brutally bad commentary and a complete distraction during the match. I usually love Phillips and Graves together, but not during the Swagsuke/Drifter match.
  21. Rich Brennan released (prowrestlingsheet.com)
  22. I mean, yeah, he probably was drunk, but I wouldn't call those photos compelling evidence... In them, he just looks like a tired old man - which he is.
  23. I don't own this one, unfortunately, but it's hard to beat it: Fun little piece: http://whatculture.com/wwe/30-coolest-wrestling-t-shirts-ever I also really like the shirt WWE made for Jushin Liger. It's one of the rare few shirts they've put out that's actually good and cool. (Most modern WWE shirts are are terrible and look like lazy hack jobs put together in an hour by an unpaid intern.) http://shop.wwe.com/jushin-liger-thunder-authentic-t-shirt/W10234.html
  24. Not sure, but if you have Hulu, you can see the entire run there.
  25. So over Stardust. Lamest, most tired act in all of wrestling. There's a reason he's a JTTS now. Bring back Cody ASAP. I hope that promo from Apollo referencing Cody and Dusty was the beginning of the end of Stardust and the return of Cody Rhodes.
