WWE TV 08/10 - 08/16 Rollins is basically HHH's heir to the throne, isn't he?

[NintendoLogic]

Hey, they're younger than Carlos Colon when he was a youngster in the 1993 Royal Rumble.

Read a tweet pointing out Velveteen Dream returned to NXT just in time for Back to School season and I think that's enough internet for me today, lol.

Pat McAfee is a good heel. The early part of the video and the end of the video are the best parts where he's working, but the middle parts are skippable if you want the wrestling stuff. 

[sek69]

He's a good heel, but WWE already WWE'd it up by having the presumed babyface Adam Cole and his crew crash the ring and beat up lovable underdog Drake Maverick. So it's going to end up a heel vs heel program.

[jiraffejustin]

Oh... I don't expect this to end up good at all. I just don't think Pat would be to blame for any of it. 

[sek69]

Me either, dude's been *fantastic* in his role so far, which is why it was frustrating for me to see them muddying things up the very next show.

[El-P]

So, apparently the younger audience flew the fuck away from Raw after the huge bump of last week. So yeah, it was a one-week "let's watch that car-crash", followed by "won't watch that shit anymore".

So, what exactly is Damian Priest's character supposed to be? I know I am grasping at straws here, cause we can ask that question about half the people in WWE at this point, but he really confuses me. One week he is like a "dark" character. Then he's acting like he's a ladies man. Seems like it's 50/50 whether he is face or heel and what the fuck is an Archer of Infamy anyway?

Edit: and this week Mauro called him a Martial Artist.....so that's a new thing he is.....

Some 1998 Edge thing but taller. Vague and broody.

On X-Pac's podcast, Priest implied/intimated he was given specific instructions not to border on anything that Roman Reigns does. So he's the nocturnal, nightclub version I guess.

Here’s a fun thought: within two years we’ll probable get an interminable Rollins/Cole feud.

The loser will have to shave his beard.

If the science in Time Cop can be trusted at all, it will go something like this:

They'd have to sign Britt Baker first.

[sek69]

So it looks like the person involved in the Patrick Clark situation stated WWE didn't even come to him as part of their "investigation" on the matter. 

That seems like something with the potential to go *really* badly for the company if anything else comes out.

Retribution attacking people in a building full of wrestlers with wrestlers acting as the crowd, and NO ONE tries to save the people being attacked is the most WWE thing I've seen in a while. Makes everyone look like chumps with no friends. At least Big E's boys are storyline and/or legit injured. Everyone else getting geeked out with the quickness.

[sek69]

How about that, they actually are going to do a hair vs hair match with Mandy and Sonya. 

[sek69]

Joseph Park on Smackdown! Wonder if he ever found his brother Chris.

[jiraffejustin]

The Fiend is not a face and the world champ is tossing chicks around, so there is no good guy. I have no reason to care about that match. 

[SirEdger]

The Fiend is not a face.....yet. It's clearly obvious they're going with the double turn here and they're gonna take a progressive approach for The Fiend.

Wow. Recycling really old TNA gimmicks now ? This company is so fried.

[Coffey]

Is Abyss still able to work? I don't know if he retired due to injury or what his deal is. I know he's a backstage guy for WWE now but I would mark out if he hit a Black Hole Slam on someone on WWE TV.

Was he ever ?

All jokes aside, as much as I've enjoyed some of his matches especially in the mid'00 with AJ, I'm currently in 2011 in my TNA watch (that I keep on from time to time), and it's been a long, long-ass time since I've seen anything worth a shit from this guy. In 2010 already he was slow and sloppy. It's amazing this guy got a job as an agent considering what a globally poor rin-ing-worker/promo/angle-worker he was.

[KawadaSmile]

He was actually good early on. Big man with big slams and ridiculous hardcore spots, it was fun. It's a shame that his body broke down really hard and really fast.

[Tim Evans]

Kalisto looks like he got on that Matt Cardona diet before his return.

WWE at the Amway is interesting. I'm guessing they will have fans sooner than later since AEW already did it this past week.
