I think Sable making exactly one public appearance, going into the octagon after one of Brock's wins, in the last decade means she probably isn't interested in doing it, and not Vince or whoever going through his HOF rubric and deciding to put in Sharmell and not Sable.

I'd be interested to hear from somebody who actually knows how much of that bump is on the guy taking it vs the guy giving it because I have no clue how much the guy doing the throwing can actually do get the other guy over.

I think he'll fall because the sort of person who thought El Generico was a top 10 candidate in 2016 seems to be the sort of person who thinks that it is impossible to have good matches in WWE.

There's something goofy going on with the Onita/Colon thread in the GWE Vs section.

I got some new stuff in the mail recently that I've really liked. The new Swamp Thing: Green Hell was really good. It's only one issue, but I think I already like it more than the new Ram V run, and I really like that run. I've been reading He Who Fight with Monsters, a comic about the Nazi occupation of Prague, its good, a bit heavy, but good. I also got the trade for Sandman: Waking Hours, its the first non-Gaiman Sandman thing I've ever read, and I thought it was great. It did a great job of existing and paying tribute to the Sandman while having its own spin. It made me, even though I still haven't, want to check out the rest of the stuff they've been doing with that new imprint. Also got the first issue of the new run on Arrowsmith, which I thought was just ok, but I like Busiek so I think I'll see it through.

No it's on 2008 ECW TV, but basically the same idea.

He has a match on ECW TV where Punk gets him to do some of his PWFG stuff that I watched recently, and I don't know if it was good, but I was pumped to see Kane bust out some grappling out of nowhere.

I think Bruce Prichard in defending all those mid-90s gimmicks, like TL Hopper, said they were based on things those guys did in real life, like The Goon played rec hockey.

Seems a lot more likely that we get something like Pat McAfee vs Austin Theory w/ Vince, pretty much what the Shane deal might have been. Even if they bill it Vince vs Pat, like Vince comes out at Mania and says I'm injured and can't wrestle so I'm sending my one true son, and Theory's music plays or something.

Does H getting demoted mean the Legacy wing is dead? I know people seemed to think that was his deal.

Godwins seem likely too if that's the case.

Are there any World Class wrestlers left for them to induct? Chris Adams and Gino come to mind, but WWE aren't really into the posthumous induction anymore. Iceman Parsons? Kabuki? I'm sure they could find 5 or so people to induct if they wanted to, but nobody jumps to mind as Dallas-specific, and why bother when you don't need to induct anyone else to sell tickets, plus its attached to smackdown anyway.

If you're at all interested in NXT UK, the main event between Bate/Seven and Smith/Carter this week is good.

I'm up in the air about Mutoh, because when he's bad, he's real bad, but I think the 2021 run is a feather in his cap. Is it a good 'top of the card in a major promotion' run? I don't think so, but as a 'nearly 60, post-prime run' it's been pretty good.

I haven't seen it in years, but doesn't he kind of hold together his match at Survivor Series '87?

He and Mayweather sold a million ppvs on showtime, its not like they got the hair club for men guy.

I assume Logan is either cheaper or the one willing to do it, I don't think it's a binary choice between Logan or Jake. Say whatever you want about them, but they're better heels than anyone in wrestling, and they seem to understand that. And it's not like he's taking a spot on the card from anyone, if anything he's getting Dom on the card.

Logan 'fought' Mayweather

I thought the Edge promo dragged a bit, but otherwise, this Raw has been good. Bruce is on a heater lately.

not my nom, but the dates on two of those matches mentioned above vs Walter 1/14/21 vs Ilja Dragunov 4/30/20

Watching it back, it seems like he started bumping mainly on the one shoulder at one point, I'd assume because the other one was injured. It's almost like they're building to the main event of the biggest show of the year.

Very good main event. Brock rules.

Austin Theory disproving the Dylan Hales Theory for Beating Brock Lesnar.

Mad Cap Moss is tough as hell

It's almost like they've been building to Bianca/Becky since SummerSlam.
