Wasn't the Torrie/Dawn Marie angle actually a ratings draw?

Ask if he got in trouble in 91 for revealing info about the WCW/USWA title unification or if that was just dirtsheet bullshit. I mean the only other legitimate question to ask him at this point is about Cesaro/Axel/Ryback and that seems like a dickish thing to do, even if it is a god damn albatross out there right now. I guess maybe something like how Brock is actually a pretty good promo, so did he specifically ask for Heyman back just to deal with how terrible WWE creative is? Maybe push a bit more on the Studio 54 timeline/story scope?

Nuke it all to send a message to future promotions.

Rockstar Spud, ultimate ROH heel champion?

I'm thinking it's going to be pretty brutal too. There's just no reason to think that they would have gone up.

That he did it by accident is the best part. It's like someone pulled the mask off a Scooby Doo ghost or something.

But now what will you review?

There's always Linda.

The one spot that makes me mark out most in the world is someone hitting a double axe handle of the second rope onto a prone opponent without getting kicked in the face.

Really, though, who are we kidding? The two biggest candidates are Torrie Wilson and Stacy Kiebler since they are the best known to the general public, right?

Ivory is a reasonable choice. She's got the GLOW stuff for color, was around for a while during the attitude era, had the RTC run, and then was an announcer/host for a while.

I also usually have a couple things going on at once. Recently I had the Remedial wrestling thing and Lucha all the same time, plus obviously some current things.

Can I watch some WWWF Dibiase instead?Oh hey, I watched that Dory/Terry vs Sheik/Abdullah match! And i started this Dory/Murdoch tag match from Japan in 71.

Personally, I think the big thing is to pick a project and ride it for a while and then find another one. If I'm just watching matches, then it's harder for me to keep interested than if there's some purpose behind it all.

To me, you can do the same things as long as you do them differently for different situations and aren't just working the same match over and over. They're tools. That's one reason I really like 2009 Christian. He uses the same stuff but he always does it differently and teases it for different effects, etc. Bret from 92 also does this a lot. Now what I will say is that I would really like to see Flair back when he was working for mid-atlantic in front of the same crowds every week. That would be the real evidence of whether or not he switched things up to that extent or if he just did his shit, because as a travelling champion, it makes sense for him to just do his routines. It makes him an unimaginative wrestler, but you can't hold it against him, you know?.

Hell, just have him reform the NWO. I bet that'd sell merch. It's a goofy enough idea it'd work.

Interestingly enough, that's actually a theme that's going to come back into play very soon.

I'd love to see someone write a lot about Vince running the Cape Cod Coliseum. EDIT: http://heartpunchwrestling.blogspot.com/2012/03/wrestling-and-hockey-collide-on-cape.html

How was Reigns vs Del Rio?

I actually kind of liked this for what it was. There were a few nice parallel spots and they really worked the holds, even if they were brief. I kind of think it should have ended after the low blow by Kid, but even that was sort of mirrored by the atomic drop and it all came back to end with the tornado DDT which was a call back to Eddie hitting the superplex earlier. Oh yeah nice dive too.

I'm oscillating between Sting's crow theme and Oh Radio since I heard Ryder on Jericho today.

Why haven't Tiger Mask matches aged well?

Can he sing?

I think the way to go is to have Bryan introduce him. Months ago I thought he could be the Authority's attempt to recreate their own Bryan but it is too late for that.

The kid at the WWE panel asking Bryan why he was so exciting when Randy Orton was so boring was pretty hilarious.
