Steph in the Yes-Lock with her tongue sticking out like a dying Jabba the Hut was pretty awesome.

For fuck's sake, get a grip. Every time you mention Bryan, you come across as some kind of Danielson fetishist. It's fake! They're trying to make you hate them! Is the angle going to be good? Probably not, but they're not taking legit shots at him.

Maybe because of the celebratory nature of the Hogan birthday stuff?

 

Exactly why. Otherwise it'd just be another show and I wouldn't mention it at all.

 

When they were doing the guest host thing every week, I'd always hoped they'd get Robin to do it one week.

The Usos open challenge is set for Summerslam. I guess that is where they debut the Ascension and take the titles?

 

by the way the "physical therapist" was a Lance Storm student. So the streak of guys and girls with great personality coming out of Storm Academy has stopped with her

man how many times can they go to the "Cena must become a monster to defeat the monster" well? Every time they try to put over that idea, he invariably does nothing particularly violent and it's a big letdown.

He does the exaggerating breathing then Sunday he comes out and gladhands, smiles and works the same as always. Pass.

Yeah the rising up to beat the latest monster shtick is pretty tired, but Cena's crushed it in his last few promos and if the match is half as good as the last one I'll be happy.

Actually, it's been presented that way and nothing more. The announcers play up how he strong he is for doing it, not questioning if it's going to put his opponent away. He got caught showing off and paid for it. It was a perfectly fine finish if they followed up with actually continuing the feud.

 

Playing up how strong he is while doing the move does not mean they are saying he's showboating by doing it. Even during the one match where your argument might hold water, the commentators never accused him of showboating. You are filling in your own blanks and arguing a story point they're not telling and have never told.

 

You're right about the feud though. It didn't continue - and what if, could have, should have, etc. does not magically make that finish work. It still sucked. It was bad, shortsighted, and it buried one of Cesaro's top moves.

 

Anyway, we're over-analyzing it at this point. Has WWE Creative put in even a fraction of the thought we have on this already forgotten match, "feud," and finish? Nope. So it's almost not even worth debating. (Not a slight against you, but rather against the braindead morons in the writing room who can't even figure out how to use a legend like Flair, much less someone like Cesaro. When they get something right, like Cesaro's big win at WM, it almost seems like it's by accident.)

AAA sure seems to be under the impression that ADR doesn't have a non-compete, which even if he doesn't WWE still owns the name.

 

What if he doesn't have a non-compete though, or what if it doesn't apply outside the U.S.? These tweets are from an AAA announcer. Why would AAA's (I assume) equivalent of Jim Ross post blatantly false information?

 

I'm almost certain WWE owns the name though. Personally, I'd rename him Alberto Don Caras (assuming they can get away with even that).
