it took a while to get there but the main event segment was good and desperately needed given how lovely their feud has been to this point. I still don't think it's a good feud but it has heat now I guess!

not my idea, but IMO, if Cena ever turns heel he should change his theme to some abrasive Yeezus soundalike imo

ric flair talked a lot about the segment on raw on his podcast and its very clear that it upset him deeply http://www1.play.it/audio/wooooo-nation-with-ric-flair/

"Obviously I have an opinion, but I'm afraid to voice it because I don't want anything to affect Ashley's career"
"I don't think she feels she's comfortable enough to say 'no' to anything yet, she's only been up there three-months"

i think the worst thing about the reid stuff is that i'm not even sure what purpose it served because they didn't go into specifics (for obvious reasons) and how much of the audience really knows charlotte's baby brother died of a drug overdose so who was that segment really for

Why not have Paige come after Ric for being a bad dad. Everyone loves Ric Flair and it's the only thing we know about Charlotte as a person on the main roster

remember when wwe insisted they had permission from bill moody's family to use him in the build to punk/taker like a week after he died and then they were apparently horrified as they watched cm punk dump out his "ashes" and smear them all over himself and the undertaker because they didn't know what they were giving permission to do

Hypothetically does having the Psycho Circus trios match happen (featuring guy who just had a stroke) count for nomination in that award

If not, yeah, it's not even gonna be close

what about promoting that match was disgusting? it was a send off for a legend there was nothing gross or immoral about it. It was just a bad match on a bad PPV

I also cheered for tyson kidd when everybody was silently confused about who he was

it's been a few years but the few times i've seen tyson kidd perform live the only people who were cheering for him were a handful of small children who were losing their minds and i assume it's because children are the only people in the world with enough free time to watch superstars/main event to see him

Anyone have any key La Sombra matches to watch? Have heard the name but have never seen him wrestle.

here's him vs Atlantis in the main event of CMLL's biggest show of the year from a couple months ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LQUouo78KY
here's him vs shinsuke nakamura for the iwgp ic title https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sn1_tMIxqwU

he's wrestled his former tag partner and eternal rival Volador Jr like a thousand times and all of those are good so take your pick

I wonder if the croud is going to poo poo all over the woman's match? what city is survivor series is in?

I bet the crowd is relatively hot for Paige, slowly loses interest, and perks back up for the finishing sequence after the ladies do some ill-advised high spots and nearfalls. A lot of this depends on what happens on the show prior to the match

Has WWE bringing up a deceased person as part of a storyline EVER worked out and not been seen as outrageously disrespectful? The only once I can think of is Paul Bearer and that's only because from everything I've heard of the guy it seems like he's be 100% okay with it.

his family was not okay with it. His son was pretty vocal about how disrespectful it was until WWE asked him to stop

I don't think it's ever worked in any promotion. The only thing I can think of would be like, I don't know, the Crockett Cup? But it was a memorial for a guy who died a decade prior.

there's plenty of memorial shows but using a dead guy for heat never works out

The US Title is only meaningless because nothing Del Rio is doing has anything to do with the belt and nobody cares about him.
