Brock from a recent AP article: “Vince (McMahon) got his checkbook out and he’s writing more checks,” Lesnar said of his increased work load. “But I have a limit and we’re at that limit right now.” “This is a job and I’m not caught up into it like maybe I’m supposed to be,” he said. “I approach this as, I’m a skilled worker. I clock in, I clock out. People pay to watch me and, by chance, I guess they find me entertaining. … When I look back and what I’m proud of is the money in my bank account.”

How many fake Russians?

I wonder if I can stretch a piss break to 30 minutes?

Classics helped a few guys on my list too.

I know someone higher than me on Andre and he's very high.

Shock because it didn't feel like the finish, rather than at the result. No, that was at the result I feel. That crowd LOVES Bayley. Her losing the title was a pretty big deal. They were just starting to clap for her to get up. That was just picking up. I think they thought there was going to be one more wave of fighting at least.

One of the little things I loved was the way he actually scrambled away to bait Nakamura toward the ropes so he could dump him for the big follow up dive. Also I just want to jump on the Joe bandwagon. Even if it was only for one night it really was the best Joe since the Angle cage match and hopefully they've got a follow up ready for him because it'd be a shame for a fired up Joe to go waste. He's done to Joe recently too.

I don't think that had anything to do with anything.

Points to Buddy Rose.

I kind of liked the crazy demon hulking up though. I want more of that.

I need to rewatch that later, too.

They're working this like a sprint and that makes a ton of sense after the last match. They can't follow that with steak, so give the people candy.

They had lost me at one point of the forearms because I don't have a super high tolerance for that sort of thing, but they got me back by the end of that, between the blood and the selling, which I wasn't expecting at all.

And people have to follow this? They should just go home and try the last matches again tomorrow.

Corbin's come so far.

I was really into the tag match, myself. The revival was so much fun. I'll take old tricks over big spots anyday especially when they're presented as meaning something. I thought maybe there was one too many folds on the peril segments. At one point I blinked when they were working on Dawson and I had no idea how Gable got in there. That moment where they really took control and the crowd came unglued in the middle of the match was amazing though. Magic. I wish they hadn't gone so far with the pin reversals towards the end. The first one or two were really good but they kept going with it. All in all, I had fun, though.

And Brody didn't. Dory is anecdotal.

One is willing to rewatch matches?

At least you wear it with pride, I guess.

Are they all obscure Canadians? I'm also vaguely annoyed that the "You know, all the stuff Ric Flair does well, but better, and a whole bunch of stuff he doesn't do well." argument didn't win anyone over on Bockwinkel.

This is actually how I came to like Demolition. Even when it was the same, it was different and it was earned, so long as you looked closely enough at least. You asked how that happened. It happened by watching a lot of stuff and getting frustrated by the same things and having that broken by them, of all things.

I forget how high you had him but he's top 15 for me.

Boo. Throw things at the Brody voters. Booooo. (I kid)
