Do you not have the network? I imagine you can subscribe for a reasonable price. Not sure how much.

Why is Alex Riley still employed

Wikipedia posted:

Since the launch of the WWE Network, Riley has become known as "The Analyst" Alex Riley, and has adopted a persona similar to a sports commentator or agent.

Riley's father, Kevin Kiley, was a sportscaster for ESPN and current sports radio talk show host in Cleveland, Ohio.

Someone probably told Vince it makes them look more legit

How many people will be dipping out to watch Walking Dead? I rarely miss a PPV but the only things I'm into tonight are Cesaro/Dolph and Seth/Dean which I'm hoping will bookend the show.

Did Renee just say Cena and Orton's rivalry spans over a decade? I could've sworn they only got into it starting in '07.

Could've been talking about Cena/Lesnar, I guess? Though there was a bit of a break in that rivalry.

I heard the Nintendo 64-sounding music in the background of the Cena/Orton vignette and got really excited for Sting for about half a second.

oh for gently caress's sake, they're really trying to sell this as a major rivalry

when there was literally no build to this match at all, like they could not care less about fighting each other

Nah, they will be the first two matches, so you can just check out after that

I'm always entertained by the lengths WWE will go to try to sell Cena/Orton as a legendary feud. The only thing legendary about it is how stale it is.

I am rooting for a clean win by Randy Orton and a mutual respect off by John Cena afterwards.

That was season 2. It picked up on the gore and zombie killing. Still dumb but I enjoy it.

You know what, I really like Miz right now. I really like that he's a midcard comedy dork, I really like how satisfying it is to see him get constant comeuppance, I really like how his outfits would be legit really cool if they were trying maybe a quarter less hard. I am totally fine with seeing Miz on my TV.

She always sounds a little lispy on these preshows, although I never hear it when she does interviews.

Smug douche is most certainly his wheelhouse and I have no problems with him in this role. Of course his interactions with Mizdow help me like him that much more right now.
