But you haven't seen who will be GM on Raw yet.? My pick is Bryan for Raw and Kane on SD.
I know it's an upset pick but I feel Bryan will get the GM call. But I am guessing as nothing is on the net or anything of it.
That last segment was absolutely awful, when the highlight is Hootie McBoobs tripping coming out of the ring, that says it all.
Whenever the ratings go down the answer is to put more McMahon's on my TV.....
So I am interested to see what they do with Shane but does anyone not think HHH will end up as GM of Raw.

Well she did do the Daniel Bryan "yes, yes, yes" when Vince announced her as The Raw boss. Bryan COULD be a swerve here.
Ambrose had one of his best promo's in a long time last night.
More of that please.

I actually find this whole "Broken" Matt Hardy angle to be pretty entertaining. Easily the best thing that TNA has come up with in a long time.
Yeah, I can't get through more than a few seconds of the Matt Hardy acting without thinking of this:
I enjoyed it as well. I think part of what was great about that promo was the ability for Rollins to sell for Ambrose without saying a word. The look in his eyes and across his face when Ambrose started talking about Rollins knowing his past and what he is capable of....gold!
I also have been enjoying the Hardy's angle, and no matter what WWE might say they ripped off some of that for the thing on Monday night.
So we have Balor vs. Nakamura tonight on NXT and the Cruiserweight Classic Starts too.
Bummed it will be the weekend before I get to watch, but that is ok.

I'd say that idea has not crossed anyone's mind, so you are right technically by saying we can't wait to see, because I can't even see it.
This would be the first match of Show's career where he was both shorter and weighed less than his opponent. Interesting. :100points:
I give absolutely 0 [poop] about Ryno challenging Joe. I simply don't buy him as a legit threat.
The best part of the Deletion Aftermath video: That's Matt's real house, he ACTUALLY has his child's play room behind a secret bookshelf that can only be entered by pulling down a Hardy Boys book, AND it has a hole in the floor with a fireman's pole and a 10 foot drop into a movie theater. That's amazing.
Shaq entering the Andre Battle Royal really messed with the mystique of the "World's Largest Athlete" because Shaq looked like he was at least 3 inches taller than Big Show, and Big Show was wearing boots.

I figured you'd be interested in his wife at least...
I'm enjoying it. We talk about how boring and predictable wrestling can get and this angle is something completely different. Is it the greatest thing ever - no - but it is entertaining and fun. Try to enjoy it
What protocol are we going to establish to discuss CWC? I watched yesterday, really good. Don't want to spoil.
NXT was also great. Balor-Nakamura was a super match. Hope Finn does well on the main roster.

Let's talk about it. It aired Wednesday on the Network and it's Friday, so we're good.
Cedric Alexander's awfully good. I'm partial to Cedric because I'm friends with the booker and ring announcer for NOVA Pro Wrestling out of Arlington, Va. who book him and say he's tremendous and professional in every way. I love the Lumbar Check as a finisher. Don't get me started on man vs. woman matches, but he did it to Candice LeRae at a PWG show last year and...
God bless.
Kota Ibushi got the superstar rub in the first episode and deservedly so. He almost held back in a way, but he can work different styles depending on what the match needs, and he needed to be the hard hitter in his match. But I was also impressed with Sean Maluta, minus that one botched dive to the outside where it looked like he broke his back.
I know that several of the next rounds of matches have already been taped - maybe all of them. Cedric Alexander wrestles Kota Ibushi in the second round. My gut says Kota will go over but both guys will look great. When that match happens...watch it. I know a little more about this situation but have to hold back until after the match.
Oh yeah, Gran Metalik was pretty cool too. My thing with the Lucha style is that it's so light-hitting, you have to be really good at it to convince me you can win a wrestling match with it, and I think this guy is.
One last thing, D-Bry on commentary was great. I really like it when the color commentator loses himself in a match and marks out for a move so bad it interrupts his train of thought. It's one of the things I loved about Bobby Heenan. Well D-Bry did that a lot and I enjoyed it. He meshed well with Mauro.
The CWC is just a cool thing in general. I appreciate how they're treating it like a legit sport. WWE NEVER does that. It reminds me of something WCW would do in the late 80s, only they're being cool about it.
Wonder if this is the same testing WWE uses as part of their "wellness policy."

WWE is purely a liability thing so Vince can say, "I told them not to use steroids!!" when someone's heart explodes. All the while pushing the roidiest guys on the roster
after Eddie Guerrero and especially Chris Benoit there were calls for congressional investigations about steroid use in wrestling
Surprised - a little - that Lesnar is roided up. He's always been huge. Thought it was natural. I'm an idiot.
My expectation is that Ibushi-Sabre will be the final. Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel so strongly that way that until either loses, I won't be able to buy into anyone else making a run. Here are my thoughts in general about episode 1.
Enjoyed Gran Metalik - though they can't say his name well. The Chilean dude was pretty good, but needs something....
I liked Daivari's little brother. The Chinese dude was pretty good too. The French guy is good, I will give anyone with a Lance Storm pedigree benefit of the doubt.
I wanted Cedric Alexander to advance to face ACH because of that backstory.
Ibushi was impressive, but I knew he was supposed to be impressive. Maluta (sp?) was also impressive.
Oddly, I can see 5 guys from episode 1 getting a NXT shot - Frenchy, Daivari, Cedric, Maluta, and Ibushi. That's a huge percentage.

They are a publicly traded company. The govt has every right to keep them straight no different than any other corruption that could be running in any corporation.
Hey, I liked the French guy too. Obviously that match was designed for Cedric to shine, but it takes two to tango and Clement did a good job contrasting Cedric's style.
I just hope that anybody who Lance Storm trains only ends up wrestling like Lance Storm and not acting like Lance Storm. Great wrestler, but man, that guy seemingly hates all things. I call him a noted hater of things

Never is him to blame. They want to talk about my boy getting 2 marks on drug testing yet they have never tested Brock, John or HHH.
I find that funny you blame Randy when all he has done has been the face of the company workhorse for 14 years.
WWE already released their statement, they basically said, "Brock Lesnar hasn't competed for us since Wrestlemania and isn't returning for us until Summerslam". i.e. It's not their problem.
Well it shows they never test the big guys. But the question is why did they test Reigns then? Well it's a work to try and get Reigns over.
Krazy I meant no you didn't blame Orton in your post but push it as such.
WWE probably does test everyone. Certain talents probably get an anonymous message warning them in enough time that they can temporarily clean up
That and I'll be there have been 'injuries' that were failures.

No it proves WWE doesn't really care what Brock's doing right now because he's not a working talent.
I think it's pretty stupid to be self righteous about steroids in wrestling. We loved wrestling in the 80s and 90s when it was nothing but steroids. Why should we care? It's just guys getting jacked up like an action figure and competing in live theater with a scripted outcome for us.
Let em all dope.
