Several years ago I saw a picture of Triple H (presumably before a PPV event or RAW) and he was eating a loving humongous PBJ. Lurking around here I've seen references of Triple H "being too busy eating PBJ" to do (insert task here). Is that phrase a reference to that particular picture?

Internet turning on Ryder is a sad display of just how much the WWE controls even "smark" reactions with their booking. If you think the brawling -> boot -> rough ryder formula match they've given Zack on Raw is the best he can do you should go watch some ECW matches.

I was about to post something similar. I'd blow my load if he busted out the Tiger bomb again.

This is more or less because as soon as Stephanie found and fired the writer who was talking to Meltzer and whatever other place, all of the juicy news dried up immediately.

It seems like now the only time we hear stuff is if a wrestler is about to get fired.

Back to great ladder matches, I always thought the match that exploded Joey Mercury's face was really fun. I liked London and Kendrick's philosophy towards this sort of match - "we're not going to build a loving jungle gym, if we're setting up a ladder it's to climb it and win the match."

I also think that William Regal and Dave Taylor pulled off the 'R-TRUTH IS AFRAID OF HEIGHTS MAGGLE" bit really well in that match.

The worst ladder match I've ever seen was CM Punk vs Chris Hero in their 55 minute TLC match from IWA MS. It is the worst example of indie excess I can think of. It just keeps going and going with dumb spots and an arena not set up for a ladder match.

Is that the one where Punk broke his skull?

Dr. rear end posted:

There used to be a faction called The Shield, made up of Seth Rollins (half blonde flippy dude, current champion), Dean Ambrose (hunched over crazy guy), and Roman Reigns (very handsome Samoan man the crowd will hate). After feuding with the Authority (think the McMahon-Helmsley regime), which lost its biggest muscle, Triple H revealed that he convinced Rollins to turn on the Shield. Rollins was then helped to win Money in the Bank, a contract that guarantees a title match at any time, no matter how inconvenient to the champion. Rollins held onto the contract until Wrestlemania, when he cashed it in near the end of the title match between Brock Lesnar (who you've no doubt heard of by now) and Reigns. Rollins won the title and now has a huge target on his back.

Randy Orton, Triple H's former protege, had beaten Rollins earlier that day and still has a lot of beef with him over their time together in the Authority. He is the #1 contender to the title, in part because 1) Lesnar works part-time and was kayfabe suspended, and 2) the crowds still loving hate Roman Reigns. Think Rocky Maivia. Rollins will undoubtedly use a lot of hired goons to gently caress with Orton, namely Kane and Big Show (yes, they're still around) and J&J Security (former wrestlers Joey Mercury and Jamie Noble).

John Cena has been The Guy in WWE since 2005, but has since taken a bit of a demotion to the United States Championship. He doesn't have a huge storyline right now (save for an upcoming PPV match) but has sworn to put his title on the line every week. You'll probably see him wrestle a midcarder and make him look like a million bucks.

Daniel Bryan is a perennial fan favorite who won the top championship at Wrestlemania last year in a hugely cathartic moment. WWE chooses to forget that this ever happened and now he's the Intercontinental Champion. He's going to have a great match with whomever they pair him up with and the crowd will go bonkers.

There's suddenly a whole bunch going on in the tag team division, led by current champions Tyson Kidd and Cesaro (who are awesome and accompanied by Jim Neidhart's daughter) and getting a breath of fresh air from teams like the Lucha Dragons (recent developmental call-ups, one of whom is loving fantastic), the New Day (an attempt at making a family-friendly Nation of Domination, which backfired miserably), the Ascension, and the Prime Time Players.

The women's division is a mess and there will be a battle royale to determine the #1 contender to the Divas' Championship (yes, Divas). The only ones you're really supposed to care about right now are Paige (the really pale one) and Naomi (the black one with the huge rear end, which she will more than likely use to attack others).

The Miz is a former Road Rules contestant who worked his way into the WWE and even a Wrestlemania main event (let's not talk about that). He's recently starred in the third sequel to WWE's awful The Marine film series and has since acted like that makes him a huge movie star, even enlisting a beardy man named Damien Sandow to be his stunt double. Sandow changed his name to Mizdow and pantomimed Miz's actions in the ring. Mizdow eventually grew tired of being treated like poo poo and turned on Miz, and I have no idea where they're going with this now. This has been going on for several months.

Sheamus is the huge and extremely pale Irishman with a stupid mohawk and beads in his beard. He's going to kick someone's face off.

you forgot to mention Roman Reigns' shameful back

"Your pet went to live on a farm upstate" is an age-old cliche. Somehow "Daniel Bryan went to live on a farm" got corrupted to "Daniel Bryan is a farm". I'm not sure how, but it's one of those things you come to accept in PSP, like how CM Punk is an anime.

Though to be fair, that's because CM Punk said "I'm an anime"

It was pretty good, actually. The whole BateMax thing was goofy fun, there was some good pre-Primetime Players stuff, and Johnny Curtis being a ridiculous creep never got old. Pretty much everyone loves the infamous chloroform gag.

I also kind of had a soft spot for the Midcard Mafia (Reks & Hawkins' unofficial name). They were surprisingly entertaining in a lot of segments, but never really got a fair shake.

I loved Redemption. Around that time it was the only wrestling I was going out of my way to watch every week. I'd catch up on clips of other noteworthy things.
