    Sometimes I feel like this thread talks about guys like there is a WHC and then a bunch of jobbers, and I understand WWE doesn't help this idea. Barrett doesn't need to be the top heel champ in the company to be a good wrestler with a solid character and good promos.

    If we can take one thing away from the Attitude Era that was actually really good, it's that a match like Val Venus versus D Lo Brown mattered as a midcard match in its own world and we were able to just watch two good but not the best wrestlers give us a decent match.

    It's what I'm hoping this IC ladder match signals. I'd really like to not really have to worry about who is a WHC contender constantly. If you make the other belts viable, if you make feuds that work, guys don't need to be more than solid to go out there do their job and entertain the fans.

    I love BnB but I don't need him or expect him in a big main event match any time soon. Just have him wrestle real clean matches with the midcard and I'd be just fine.

    There's no way between now and Mania that Reigns gets a good reception during the main event.

    Bryan being in the IC ring is bad for Bryan but it's good for the IC title if he wins it and defends it successfully, especially say in a non-title champion v champion match with whoever is the WWE WHC at the time. I'd almost say that WWE is trying to undo the damage done to the title by having the current champ being a jobber in giving it to Bryan. But then I remember that R-Truth is in the match for some reason, and I realise, nah.

    Well, you can now look forward to the new Lionsgate movie "Interrogation", starring Lana and Edge.

    “With a bomb set to go off in Las Vegas on one of the busiest betting days of the year, the story focuses on a brilliant interrogator called in to question the prime suspect. As time runs out, we soon learn there’s an even bigger plan in place for both of them.”

    She had to go to the vet to get her first round of shots and to test for feline leukemia and the such.

    She didn't even cry when they gave her the shots!

    (She was too busy eating the food they distracted her with)

    I wish Ziggler had a shirt I felt okay with wearing in public.

    The same goes for a lot of wrestlers I like.

    My plan was to buy a bunch of merch over Mania weekend, but I'm struggling to find much stuff beyond Bryan's new shirt that I'd actually wear.

    Raw was pretty good last night. Only thing that confuses me is the unusually high amount of CM Punk chants... Because of the lawsuit maybe?

    They were chanting her name before she appeared to. I assume it was leaked she was there.

    They were chanting AJ Lee before she appeared, they chanted CM Punk while she was out there. I don't think the silly geese explanation can be overlooked.

    I think it's hyper-shitty to do it to AJ for obvious reasons, but CM Punk chants stopped being about CM Punk a while ago. Just like Randy Savage or Sergeant Slaughter, it's just a thing that people chant when they are bored or want to be assholes now. That and "What?" and other annoying chants aren't going to go away, regardless of what happens with Punk.

    The thing about Reigns is that we can say he is green and we can say his promo work is REALLY green (and pretty bad) and we can say that it's bullshit that he got the nod over a number of guys in the rumble, not just Bryan.

    But somehow the narrative starting shifting towards Reigns is terrible both as a dude and a wrestler and I don't think either of those things is even remotely true.
