    I enjoyed the show, but I sure didn't get any "best of the year" type of vibes from it. I didn't think anythin was awful, but nothing truly jumped out like an early contender for a 2015 MOTY. Of course, I watched it with some buddies, so maybe a second viewing will bring something out that I didn't notice. I thought JR sounded genuinely enthusiastic, a throwback to his NWA/WCW days. It's obviously a side effect of not having Vince or anyone screaming into his ear. I thought Striker did well, but he made a few comments that left he scratching my head. Plugging puroresufan.com, after Stuart had already announced that he was discontinuing updates. Suzuki as one of the founders of MMA?

    It really takes some astonishing hubris to classify wrestlers as independent contractors while pulling crap like this. I don't think the no-compete would hold up in court. It would be like telling a TV actor that if they're fired from the show they're on, they're not allowed to pursue a career in hockey. I think WWE is banking on the fact that the future endeavored don't want to spend the money to take them to court and duke it out.

    I just watched his 2014 RF shoot. It's a nice companion piece to the Breaking Kayfabe. He goes into much more detail about his time in TNA, and ROH is really only glossed over, aside from the iPPV incidents.

    There were things I liked about this, particularly the finish, where it seemed like Hero and Steen were trying to outsmart each other. Steen baits Hero into trying the elbow, and does his neckbreaker. Hero acts like he's going to do another elbow but does a big boot instead. But, it, didn't do much for me overall.

    I want to be able to review more consistently than I have in the last couple of years. With my older child in school, it should actually be do-able. I specifically want to check out more indy groups.

    He uses an Xbox.

    My buddy still buys the PPVs, even though he has the network. Because, they play like garbage on the network, with constant pauses and skipping. I think it's just he has shitty service, since my brother in law watches them on the network and says it's fine.

    Hopefully they will try and get Bob for 81 but why does he want so much. I guess there is little chance of getting Hogan to do a timeline. They wound up doing '81 with Rick Martel. But, I'm hopeful for 1982. . . . .

    I enjoyed their match last Thursday, but I didn't think it was anything amazing. They both had their moments, but there was also plenty of goofy shit, like Sasha's back flip bump from the spear, and Charlotte aping the Ibushi moonsault spot.

    I disagree about D'Lo being the least memorable. He's probably one of the people who benefited the most from Russo's tenure as head writer, because Russo always made sure that the mid carders had something going on too. From 1997 when he was the only NOD member that Farroq didn't shitcan until 2000, he was on TV and in some sort of angle on a pretty regular basis.

    What are the chances of Ambrose and Reigns being the 2015 versions of Daniel Bryan and Batista? Serious question, not trolling.

    I had issues with PTW on the Roku yesterday morning. But, then I tried again at about 5:00 PM and it queued right up.

    I never understood the point of giving Curt the boot. With how he'd been booked since Fall Brawl '97, there was no way anyone was going to feel a lick of sympathy for him.

    I was actually at this SD taping, and it took forever for them to lower the cage.

    This was lots of fun. I'm surprised Flair hasn't taken more lumps as a Rogers rip-off, the way Hogan has as a Graham rip-off. Watching Rogers overdone selling and reactions, especially when he'd go airborne with the headlock, made this look like a template for Flair's famous days as touring NWA Champion. Rogers is saddled with a pretty useless opponent, but finds ways to keep things entertaining throughout.

    If the person in charge of such things at the station wasn't paying careful attention because it's just fake wrestling, and who cares?

    I don't know why I'm so annoyed by it, because it's not like I'm in some huge hurry to see it. But, I don't understand why they're holding off on the 1/1/96 'Raw Bowl' episode. They've done the rest of January (even gone back and done 1/8) and are into Feb now.

    I always cracked up at the scene where HHH is talking with the old ladies, and Billy pops in and says that those are the chicks that HHH gets.

    Definitely. Watts would have had a field day with Henry.

    He recruited "Little Johnny" who's singing disturbed Cena enough to let Bray win that cage match.

    That actually makes the most sense. Watts used to spend a full day shooting local promos and it was hell on the boys to keep track of what TV show aired in which market, so they knew what angle or feud to be talking about in the promo. So, it actually makes sense that someone in Vince's camp or the TV station's camp dropped the ball and either played or sent the wrong set of promos.

    Bret himself actually rebuked this in his Timeline interview. Vince had him locked up until September, and the offer from WCW was far below what he was making from the WWF.

    I'm assuming the Heyman doc was listed by mistake. I checked this morning, and it's no longer listed.

    A friend of mine worked AJ a few years back, and was scared shitless to take the Styles Clash. When Styles picked him up, he just froze and AJ couldn't do the stepover, so AJ just tombstoned him and that was the finish.

    It wasn't so much that Schiavone and Bischoff got "heat" for it. Although everyone pretty much thought it was a dick move to try to shit on Mick's big moment. But it's more of an "LOL" moment, because their big mouths caused them to lose a lot of viewers that night.
