Johnny Sorrow

Yeah, Dream has worn some tribute tights at some Takeovers, while throwing in a tribute spot or two. That's in no way indicative of his actual character. A character that I totally get and understand. I keep reading things here and there about folks not knowing what his character is. And I don't get it. He's The Velveteen Dream. What do folks want, a total Prince ripoff, which is what it was at first, or a terrible over the top and offensive gay gimmick? He's figuring out how to take all that and remake it into something new. I agree with the idea that he needs to stay in NXT for awile longer because he's what? 23? 24 years old? Let him finish creating this already great character while getting better at everything else .

Ken Patera was fucking awesome. That just needs to be said now and then.

"The Undertaker" is a copyrighted name and image. If Vince really cared he'd pull that card.

Well, since he's being billed as "The Undertaker" maybe Vince doesn't give a shit and is all in on letting his most loyal employee ever get a huge payday since he's not going to be on Mania.

It's totally a group effort. I'm sure Bryan is running these ideas by Vince, and Vince is trusting him. I'm positive Vince laughed his ass off right before giving the OK for a wood, hemp, and turquoise belt.

Somewhere in these threads there was a back and forth about Daniel Bryan having creative control. Well, right now he pretty much does. There's no merchandise. No green Eco-triangle t shirts with "Daniel Bryan" worked into it along with a WWE logo that makes you say, " Man, I'd wear that if it didn't have a fucking WWE logo on it."

Awesome. Trust me, this format is tough to make work and requires a lot of effort. I gladly passed on the baton.

I think Big Dave is leveraging AEW against WWE for a bigger payday for a Mania appearance. I seriously doubt he's interested in anything more than a one off angle and match. He's doing very well in Hollywood and from what I've read and heard, he's pretty much universally liked in Tinseltown.

That was Baby Doll. And if you want to see some good old fashioned wrestling misogyny, check out the WCCW David Von Erich vs Jimmy Garvin feud. David spanks Sunshine and even raises the back of his hand at her.

Dude, you can literally do that.

If it's common to be tight with pro wrestlers online, then why bring it up all the time? We all shit regularly, it's common. We don't bring it up every time we have a conversation. Common things are common, and no one cares.

Listen to this, people! It'll make your pee pee tingly!

It was better than the fucking Super Bowl.

I enjoyed this show. It had a cool Indy feel.

Well, Truth is one of Vince's favorite people, so maybe not?

I'd say Ron Swardson made that.

It's a face vs face match, and it's in a baseball stadium. And that shows what modern WWE crowds are. All the people who can afford good seats just sit there and watch, and all the noise is coming from up top.

That monkey flip on Tozawa off the apron was bonkers.

The Sid episode is great. It's fun hearing Bruce doing nothing but agreeing with Meltzer takes.

I also heard that she didn't shake Taker's hand once while coughing and sneezing right in Vince's face right while he was shaving.

Rey and Andrade have the best match I've seen in forever, and people are bitching about the dropping of the rest of the clunky name? Jesus Christ. They also dropped having Vega out there in wrestling gear. The act is getting pushed, which it should be, and part of that is a simplification of the name.

Don't worry about the "hillbilly " line. That was Graves calling on the fly.

" He should just be called Dozer, dammit!"

Dozer has the amateur credentials, as well. I pulled this from wikipedia. He actually had a 60 minute Iron Man match here on his way out. It used to be on youtube, but I can't find it. He was still green, and they killed a lot of time with bullshit and gaga to start, but it ended up pretty good.

I'm excited for Dozer. He's the only guy from our little indy promotion here in Colorado to make it.
