I turned Raw on when I got home on Monday just in time to hear Michael Cole going on about how stupid Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt are and I thought to myself "you're right Cole this IS a poor use of my time" so I just turned the TV off and went to go play Bloodstained instead.
Nice to see we've still got the play-by-play guy burying the product on air, that'll get the viewers invested. I know, it doesn't matter because nothing matters and WWE still makes all the money in the world.

Literally, in his ear. Unsatisfied with the limits of human height he has shrunk him down to microscopic levels to better appreciate the form of man.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

You don't need to get your rays from a pool. You can have the host eat Oatmeal though that creates an addiction for more oatmeal, or you can eat other Yeerks.

Test doing the elbow drop off an Elimination Chamber pod at December to Dismember 2006 was a genuine :staredog: moment and probably the highlight of that shitshow.

Corbin's heel work is already miles and miles beyond Cass. I probably have some sort of damage from watching the last year of wrestling but I've found he's gotten sort of fun even.

Cass looks small and frightened, and concerned he's not certain he's wearing pants.

They should roll with Cass loving up the Yes Lock multiple times and teach him a moveset based around flashily countering signature moves.

Roll Cass up into a large oriental rug and then hurl the rug into the East River.

I will say on the extended tryout thing in WWE's defence to a degree. WWE was going to have the traditional WWE tryout in the UK the other month but they cancelled it - personally heard WWE staff were "too hungover" after Wrestlemania and the Saudi show to organise one. Talent were contracted for it and are by rights owed a tryout in November when they return. Nina and Charlie are young up and comers and next in line for a strong look at by WWE. So WWE might be just formalising a promise.

Coffey and Wild Boar are largely just good hands in the ring.

MLW has a weekly show that goes up on YouTube now. It's not a viable alternative as in an alternative that will dethrone WWE, but it's a solid hour of wrestling each week. I know there are tons of other US indies, of course, but I'm not sure how many others upload a regular show anywhere. Not every episode lights the world on fire, but it's pretty good and it's fun hearing Tony Schiavone on commentary again.

No ones going to stand shoulder to shoulder with wwe again we may get a viable alternative but really its gonna take a billionaire money mark to have a shot as even if any viable alternative pops up wwe will just poach their talent as they can afford to pay someone far more soley to just get them off the rival show.

I remember we were so excited for Enzo and Cass to get called up. I guess a tag division with just The New Day and The Lucha Dragons made us a little extra thirsty for a new team. I wish Enzo and Cass and The Revival switched pushes.

Even in that poo poo title run, Diesel/HBK at Mania 11 got 4 stars and Diesel/Bret at '95 Survivor Series got 3.5, so all we gotta do is pair Big rear end with one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, and

Oh, we're doing that right now? And it's still not very good? Ah.

WWE fighting future competition by making sure no one ever likes wrestling enough ever again to want to put money into competing. There can’t be a new Ted Turner if the only wrestling little Ted has ever seen has burned him out on the concept.

My favorite thing to do in that game was steal that move. Nothing quite like Rey running right at him then giving him a big boot.
