I've followed John Hennigan's career since Tough Enough and have always been a fan of his. It's too bad he wasn't better on the mic in WWE, but they really screwed up a great opportunity to make a huge long-term star from the ground up. He was briefly white-hot one year and getting title shots, but then they shoved him into that stupid mixed tag at Wrestlemania and then was buried after the draft that year. Had they held onto him and pushed him at main event level (at least Smackdown WHC level) he could've filled the Cena/Orton spot they've been looking for forever.

Guys, I did it. I made it all the way through the season with no spoilers. The key is to not have an Observer subscription and avoid any LU related Wikipedia page like the plague. Only 2 1/2 more hours!

One hour left. Feel the hype, make sure you give yourself plenty of time to have your tuxedo on all nice and fresh.

I envy that Thauros is about to see Mack v Cage for the first time!

The medallion match is the only title match I HAVEN'T been spoiled on (Thanks Dave!). HE threw in a really big spoiler for no reason at all in the middle of a news section for a completely different promotion

EDIT: Since that's aired already and there doesn't seem to be a trios title match on tonight's show I guess I can say it. He noted in the goddamn GFW section that Matt Cross loses the trios title at Ultimate Lucha. I love Dave, but c'mon man.

Perro Aguayo jr, AAA's top heel who died in a freak accident in a match for a Tijuana indie right after Rey returned to AAA.

Dave Meltzer described him as being more important to AAA than John Cena is to WWE, and he was supposed to headline Triplemania vs Rey. With his death they're going with Rey vs. Myzteziz (mistico 1/Sin Cara 1).
