I dig Reigns because he's a fucking awesome wrestler, he carries himself like a star, and he clearly is going to work and earn respect from fans and is already a locker room leader.The boos from a section of grown men doin what they do are starting to get matched by the cheers of kids, women, and guys who realize his matches are consistently good to great. This idea of "Who's next?" is a fun little excursion into the idea that it isn't Reigns, but it is gonna be Reigns unless a Stone Cold pops up outta nowhere. And Braun was never it. Has some of the booking been awful? Yup. But it feels like it's turning around, and it's really irrelevant to me honest. I'm not a fan of booking the main event of a HITC for a Saudi Arabia shows that I ain't gonna watch but that's another rant. So to sum up, Roman Reigns is fucking great, and if you can't see that, well.... maybe you need a different TV Show to watch. There's a lot of fucking content out there now as far as entertainment goes, be it wrestling, TV, Movies, Podcasts, or whatever. Shot, there's so much WWE content now, you can pick what you want to watch. There's no excuse to watch something you don't enjoy . Especially in 2018. Oh, and Reigns is great, like I said, gets huge pops, and sells a shit ton of merch.:) I buried the lead.

Then don't . I used to watch The Simpsons religiously for years. When I stopped liking it I stopped watching it, and told no one.

I loved this show. It's funny that it was the Hell in a Cell show, and my favorite matches weren't the HITC matches, but there ya go.

That was the best Pre Show match I've seen in awhile.

Wait, what? How the fuck would you know how it's gonna look before we see how it looks on tv, and what the fuck died it have to do with the Punjabi match?

And its a live interview from a Mexican prison!

That leather is made from the skin of old wrestlers . It's a tradition, like the masks.

In the "only in 2018" file now goes the fact that Jimmy Hart is having to go on twitter to refute a false claim that he's going to be attending a KKK rally.

Becky needs new music, or at least an altered version of her current music.

I'd wager neither one gives a shit about winning and losing a fucking wrestling match. Seriously? The Rock is the biggest star in Hollywood and can do whatever he wants, including "losing" a wrestling match; and Micheals hasn't been that guy since 1998. edit: I just realized you were making a joke, but come on.

It just occurred to me, nothing ever in pro wrestling has been cooler than Eddie Gilbert entering while "Hot Stuff" by Donna Summer is playing.

I hope they do it note by note. A complete recreation of every move and every HBK reaction down to the pose together at the end. I'll laugh my ass off. Literally like seeing the Eagles live playing Hotel California.

Was that the final nail in that podcast? Manning stinks. Sorry, we're just at early 1983 on the World Cast podcast and Manning has been the fucking worst since we started this last year. He's treated like a top babyface and he's a high pitched, little Jimmy Hart sized ref who wins feuds against wrestlers! He's presented as an honorary Von Erich! I'd guess he was the blow connection, but that's Candyman Ken Mantell. He had to have had pictures of Fritz at a Leather Bar to be featured like this.

Too bad Tony Atlas ruined the payoff by no showing his revenge angle.

"Oldies"? Anyway, looking around online at " hot takes" and opinions on this show reveals an amazing ven diagram of Misogyny and smarky nonsense.

Smackdown this week was one hell of an entertaining wrestling TV Show.

I haven't given a rats ass about this show, but that awesome Taker/ HBK segment on RAW has piqued my interest. Mainly in wanting to see Taker vs HBK, but now I'm interested.

Isn't the story that Joey Mercury was supposed to be there as an agent in charge of timing everything but he got arrested? And that left Cody with another thing on his already crowded plate?

Oh, on our podcast where Kelly, Pete, and I are going over every episode Saldi was a constant source of amusement and jokes. But his last two shots he suddenly becomes ok and then he's gone. I like to think it was cause he pointed out that David Manning feuding with wrestlers was stupid.

That would be Jay Saldi, who at the time was probably the worst announcer ever. But once he's gone and it's just Mercer, you realize that Mercer was even worse.

Billy Gunn isn't average sized. The guy is the same size as Hogan.

I love that Cody Rhodes made the NWA Title relevant again , for however long, by being part of creating the show and making sure it happened. Dusty is smiling somewhere.

Yeah, they played an outdoor venue in Lynn, Massachusetts in June 1985. The Apter mags made a big deal out of it.

I just saw RAW on Hulu all the way through and I'm happy they turned Braun back heel. I hated babyface Braun. They had to do it briefly to ride the short term reactions, but he's a "fucking heel".

I assumed he was referencing Larry's awesome, stoned, and rambling HOF speech.
