NXT does house shows in parts of Florida I have never heard of and I've lived here all my life. I can't imagine they draw much in Wachula, FL, population 4000 with nothing in any direction for 40 miles unless people want to see NXT so bad they drive in from Lakeland.

It's a little too busy visually and needs to have lets cuts but yeah, it would be great if RAW started like this again instead of that stupid WWE - Then / Now / Forever montage (even though it DOES have my man Jericho in it).

Its weird, I basically never hear matches being called even when people in GDTs are commenting on how obvious it is - I've never been that great at picking out voices out when there's background noise so maybe its that.

I watched wrestling while stoned one night and not only could I hear ever move get called, I could hear people in the audience three rows away from the camera having conversations. It was a pretty weird night of wrestling.

I can't wait for him to stand next to Khali, say he's short, and for this to somehow take 10 minutes.

Depending on how lovely the crowd is and/or match is going this is a very easy thing to have if you are either watching a live stream with headphones or have a 5.1 system and it's turned up/tuned decently.

Basically what I'm saying is, you'll notice this the next time you see a cool down/Divas match.

Khali will come out, then Sandow will come out as either something that Hart's acted as or tangentially related (Such as a villainous foil or whatever) and then get beat up by Khali.

Oh okay. Místico is going to be Myzteziz (which is apparently Místico + Genesis) in AAA only, he's going to be Sin Cara when he works in other Mexican promotions. Good luck with that, I guess.

You would be surprised. I went to a show in bumfuck Florida and the place sold out with kids treating Titus O'Neil like he was John Cena. I think he was from that town though.

2Time TRP Sack Race Champion

Who is Kevin Hart and how good is his Sharpshooter?


E: Also a 2nd mitb for the case would be nice because a year without a cashin and a MitB PPV without the titular case would be sad and more ladder matches for the ladder match god

HHH: Take a close look at the track record of this company. You'll see that we've gambled in gimmicks usually regarded as nonprofit. Dentist gimmicks, prison officers, racecar drivers..... I say good business is where you find it. As you know, we now have deals for independent contractors, but at WWE we believe parity booking and reduced PPV bonuses are only part of the solution. No, we need something more - we need a 24-hour-a-day, 12-month-a-year sports entertainer! A sports entertainer who doesn't need to eat or sleep! A sports entertainer with superior muscles and the reflexes to use them. Fellow sports entertainers, it's a pleasure to introduce you to the future of sports entertainment. I give you... John Cena! Now, we'll need a volunteer.... Mr Slater?

Sandow as the new 3MB member should be really into prog rock. He can carry a wizard bong to the ring, and tell the audience about the fine subtleties of King Crimson.

He can also have a traveling wood paneled basement like micks office, or APA's door, where he can play D&D with different wrestlers.
http://vimeo.com/10761305 So basically just morph 3MB into the band in this video?

Also I know there's creative accounting and marketing costs and etc. etc. to take into account, but See No Evil and The Marine turned a small profit based on stated budget vs. worldwide box office. So did WWE-produced films The Call, Oculus and Dead Man Down. I completely forgot the vast majority of these films though (Legendary, That's What I Am, The Reunion, Bending the Rules, Inside Out) because I guess I wasn't watching WWE television during whatever small window they were hyping the hell out of an Edge/Jamie Kennedy buddy cop film and it didn't reach Knucklehead/Chaperone level of mockery.

Ruptured the ACL graft I had done last October, and have to go in for a surgical revision.

Drugged to the gills and hoping Raw will distract me.

This is probably a vain hope, huh?
