Our pal Jason Greenhouse tossed some ideas out in a column today http://placetobenation.com/shaking-things-up-how-to-freshen-the-wwe-rosters/ But... what do we think will happen or... should happen? AJ to Raw seems like a given at this point. Should Reigns move to Tuesdays? Could set up a Cena/Reigns SummerSlam match... Charlotte moving to Tuesdays is interesting possibility as well.

I was there live and haven't rewatched on TV yet but man I loved this one. I was against this rematch from day one but they made me believe. I honestly thought the key to the match was how quickly they got back in gear after the spear through the barricade. Many times they may have rested there or had the medical staff come out and check both guys to kill time. They got their asses right back up and kept throwing bombs. The pace was so key to make this great and they more than made up for the disgrace in MSG.

Yeah the Piper stuff was an interesting argument... but it would have been such a risk to take the belt off Hogan at that point. Not sure the potential WM2 bump would offset any damage done.

Yeah it is really a time management thing at this point but it certainly is something we need to get better about. I will start putting it into focus.

On this episode of PTBN Clotheslines & Headlines, JT Rozzero, Steve Wille, Nate Milton and a series of special guests run through the latest in the world of wrestling!

Sounds like you may have a coke problem PAL!

As you may be able to tell by this post, I have quite the backlog I am working through... That said, I loved this episode across the board. Great insights into each match but really strong takes and analysis on the style Watts was trying to implement vs. what Frey was trying to do. It is such a weird show in the history of WCW with both positives and negatives worth debating. Also loved the reading of Charles's takes too. Great episode, one of my favorites WTBBP for sure.
