What the gently caress are they doing with The Bunny? I'd assume it leads to an unmasking/face turn, but is it still Sami?

Because that'd be awful. Not to mention bizarre.
Was it ever Sami? Its been Justin Gabriel for weeks or months now im not really sure how long this angle has been going

Nobody else notice how Lana and Rusev are heels because, for all Lana poo poo talks America, all the things she poo poo talks it for is also things Russia is guilty of and makes them insanely hypocritical? No? okay sure whatevs

LIES! Russia is a grand and glorious place where people of all races, creeds and sexual proclivity dance and sing under the protective embrace of Papa Sta- er I mean Putin. Everyone has tons of money, in the best of health and oh so happy! No education like Russian Education.

I like taking the piss out of any country really, love the old school Soviet heel vibe and, most importantly, love in ring Rusev and Lana. The hypocritical part is just more icing of hilarity to the overall beefcake.

I wish someone would at least wonder aloud whether they should ask Ambrose to join their team. Don't even have to really ask though it would be nice if they did and he blew them off.


Also someone mentioned a wrestler getting beaten not long ago. Who the hell is Cesaro? Is that some weird spelling of Cena?

The bunny's pretty clearly been several different people. It doesn't really matter who's in the suit as much as who unmasks in it.

It's Dean Malenko.

John wants a team of people who can help themselves, not a bunch of sissies who need him to bail them out constantly!

Also to join Team Cena they need to sign this piece of paper saying they will not go after his precious money or house.

I wish they would have had BNB make a formal announcement about the UK not getting the network last night. His whole gimmick is "haha, gently caress YOU" anyway and the heat from that crowd would have been unrivaled.

Since I have zero investment in Survivor Series, I'm having my usual crew of guys from work who watch PPVs with me over this weekend to watch an Attitude Era PPV instead, since less than half of the people attending (3/8) watched wrestling in the 90s.

I'm trying to come up with a real good PPV to show, and Wrestlemania 17 is obvious, but I feel like it might be too good for a first exposure to the greatest days of wrestling. I've also considered like, Summerslam 2000 and Armageddon 99 and stuff, but it feels like every other PPV doesn't hit all the notes I want it to.

Wrestlemania 17 is just too loving good is the drat problem.

Thought this was pretty cool: Punk's writing for Marvel. Dunno what experiences he'll draw from to write about over-muscled folk locked in eternal, unrealistic conflict but I guess he'll muddle through.

I've already seen a comic writer get all pissy and call Punk a hypocrite because he's using his celebrity status to get a spot that should be going to a full-time writer.

Rusev is seen as a face despite being a heel for the same reason the mass murderers from Devil's Rejects come off looking sympathetic and likeable during the last 20 minutes.

Yeah, it seems kind of similar to that whole thing where big movie stars would come in and take main-event spots at Wrestlemania away from the guys who've been working for years in that industry, purely on the strength of their celebrity status. Y'know that thing that Punk was upset about.

Same here. The Exotic Express slowly turning into Jonestown where leaving isn't an option and all his entourage are forced to pretend everything is hunky-dory would own. It would be better if it was Bray Wyatt instead but I'm actually interested to see where this goes.

It's one of those angles that has a lot of potential but it will go nowhere and we probably won't ever get a reveal of who the Bunny is anyway.

Maybe I'll be wrong, but we'll see!

7. Tyson Kidd defeated Adam Rose. Great reaction from the UK for Rose. Highlights showed Rose knocking out The Bunny. Erick Rowan came to ringside during the match. The Bunny distracted Rose, allowing Kidd put Rose in the Sharpshooter for the submission victory. Rose attacked The Bunny again...

Am I understanding this? Adam Rose's undefeated streak ends on fuckery to put over a nobody on a free show?
