Otherwise, I agree that things seem to be in a holding pattern mostly. they likely think it's too soon to start brewing for the Rumble. Things should pick up next week with qualifiers, etc.

Cool, thanks.
"Comically weak" is a pretty big stretch here, given the size of the Big Show and given that Big Show just took down Mark Henry, who'd been billed as this unstoppable force.
They should try and film his big cross body like they did with Mike Knox. There was something about the camera angle they used with Knox that always made to seem like his Cross Body had a much faster and harsher impact. Get in up close on the victim and then here comes Brodus like a flying kool-aid man. OH YEAH!

Fuck this company.
I expected them to lose it, and sooner than they did
But to Primo's team
Now I'm reading that apparently this happened because Bourne might have violated Wellness again
If that's true, I think he's done with the company
Fucking up Wellness tests, twice, both times while holding a title
edit: Now I'm reading that Bourne, when he came back from suspension, complained to upper management that WWE shouldn't have suspended him and Truth for synthetic weed, and that this is part of Bourne's punishment
Who needs the exciting matches of Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston though? We get to see this tomorrow:
I think it was either when Punk and Kofi won the tag titles or lost them. That was in 2008.
Yeah Kurt, I believe you. WWE is knocking at your door to get you. Because you really treated them respectfully the last time you were involved with them, and they really want you back. Yep.
They did switch the divas title b/w Melina and Mickie James on a house show once, and Miz and Morrison won the tag titles on a house show as well.

Was there bad treatment on either side? I thought Kurt basically had the same issue as Edge did with his neck, and WWE couldn't get him insured or anything so they told him he had to quit, and instead he went to TNA.
The instant he got his release, he reneged on that claim in private and immediately got in talks with the competition, and two weeks later was officially a member of TNA
For once, Vince was betrayed by a former talent, and not the other way around. I'm not going to say Kurt was wrong to go to TNA instead of go back to WWE, but if he was half as hurt as he claimed, he wouldn't have asked to leave a company because he was in "so much agonizing pain" then immediately after join the competition and put himself at more risk
I just assume that there's still bad blood between them, and the fact that Kurt is willing to take potshots at them any chance he gets, whether Orton uses an Angle Slam, or a fan asks Angle whether he'll be at the Rumble, just proves that bad blood is still there, and won't go away any time soon

On the Evan Bourne thing, I'm going to side with it being petty. He violated the wellness policy and served his suspension. He then went to upper management after that to say it shouldn't be a wellness policy violation and is suspended for that. Unless he went to management while smoking, where did he not learn his lesson? You don't punish someone after they fulfilled their previous punishment for saying the punishment wasn't fair. It would be like putting a child in the corner because eating cookies just before supper isn't right, and then putting them in the corner again when they say they should be allowed to eat cookies then.
So not only did he bail on someone who trusted that his reasons for leaving were honest, then betray that person, he also acted like a egotistical snob afterwards too
I actually have lost more respect for him looking this stuff up than I had prior to it
I remember some years ago WWE.com had the top 10 scandals or controversial moments and Angle leaving was listed. It pretty much stated that he requested to leave, was granted the request because he had provided medical documentation to such and then two weeks later showed up on Impact. But that was a few years ago now that it was on there.
Who is that and why are they wearing James Mitchell's suit?
Perez Hilton from what I can recall reading.
Frankly it would be more surprising to me if one of the worst companies on the planet were actually behaving in a reasonable manner.
In other, much more awesome news, Kenny Omega is the AJPW Junior Heavyweight Champion. he beat Kai back in October. So far the only sad thing about his reign is that he beat Minoru, and nobody should ever beat Minoru.
Also this year he had his toughest match ever at a STARDOM event against Haruka, yes Haruka is a nine year old girl.

That was the version I had heard, and pretty much cost me most of my respect for him.
As for the title change, while I don't agree with the reasons behind it if what is being said is indeed true, I think that changing the titles-- minor ones, at the very least-- on a house show (er, "live event") is a great idea.
...that is, if they had the cameras rolling.
They always boast these title matches at house shows, and most of the time, that pretty much spoils the outcome if you already know that the champ isn't going to lose his or her title. But title changes and other things at these shows isn't unheard of, and I think it's a good thing if you can honestly expect it to happen... just be sure to get it on tape, so you can play it back on Raw or Smackdown or something. It helps legitimize the events.
That, or just don't have title matches. That would work about as well.
And...what other teams are there?
Link to footage of them winning the titles
but
they don't even have low-rider bicycles....

Somewhere, Tyler Reks is thinking "FUCK YES I STILL HAVE A CHANCE AT FAME"
They actually do videotape the matches at house shows, and do have photo crews on hand. It's not used often (or ever), but the footage can be pulled if needed.

Just as shocking to me, honestly, is that Rosa now manages the Tag Champs while Vickie manages the guy who jobs to Punk and the guy who fills 5 min with Cena until Kane interrupts.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooh written in the stars...
