    If Cole is taking a sabbatical I hope they leave his shoe on the announce table until he returns.

    In addition, Cole confirmed that he will be back at the announce booth on Raw this Monday.

    apparently he's due back on Monday, so

    Okay so
    I'm still new to wrestling reporting and the whole kayfabe thing

    He wasn't actually hurt, right
    Like Lesnar didn't go off script for that

    But they have to talk about it as though it were an actual assault

    oh yeah, the thing about wrestling is that you can almost never trust anything that comes out of wwe's official site

    like, vince mcmahon got hit with that move within the past two years and he's nearly 70 years old, it's not a thing that's likely to cause actual physical injury

    I'd get the Bayley shirt, but I don't like the drawing on the back that much and also I am not a hugger, so it's like false advertising as well.

    I'm probably obligated to get a Rollins shirt. I kind of want to wait to see if he gets a new one, though. I don't have a huge problem with his current shirt, but, still, seems like he'd get a new one.

    One thing I like about Daniel Bryan is that he's settled on maroon as a signature color and that's a good color

    when you start out, just assume that everything is in kayfabe

    eventually you'll start seeing the cracks and be able to recognize when someone or something goes off-script

    In a storyline so dumb not even WWE would do it,
    I suggest the shoe starts a cinderella storyline to find a new commentator.

    Big Show is too large.
    Hornswaggle too small.
    Somehow it just fits Renee. (Or maybe Regal, or perhaps even Albert whose dumb childlike persona on NXT is growing me)

    I cannot believe they're selling a "9.99" t-shirt...for 9.99

    GG if you wanna really get into wrasslin, as someone who did it this year, I'd suggest watching these:

    Wrestlemania 30->Money in the Bank 2014->Summerslam 2014->Royal Rumble 2015->Wrestlemania 31

    Or just watch NXT.

    The only thing that WWE says is true is what they say to investors in calls and press releases. Because lying to them is crime.

    It did end up with the case of Vince having to tell investors that what happened on Raw didn't in fact really happen early on in the WWE being publically traded.
    (Was it during the 'shares in the company storyline? Vinces death? I can't remember)

    This works too but chances are he probably wants to watch the "real" WWE if he actually wants to watch wrestling

    It was Vince's fake death.

    Also Darren Rovell is a total fucking idiot.

    Beyond The Ring on the Network right now is showing Prototype v. Leviathan from Ohio Valley Wrestling.

    That's John Cena v. Batista back when they weren't.

    Is it wrong of me for a tiny bit of me to think Brock might try a SSP one last time?

    They can't ever do this because if Brock gained the power of flight he'd be truly unstoppable. Being flat on your back is currently the only relatively safe position to be in near him. Because he usually uses that time to do his laughing, you see.

    Brock's gonna have a match where he starts with an F5, and then repeatedly climbs the ropes to missile dropkick his opponent, just for the hell of it.

    @Grey Ghost

    I'm just going to throw this out there, but there is a WWE Pay Per View being held in Baltimore on May 17th.

    We might even be able to convince @lostwords to come with us

    If he's going to watch Royal Rumble 2015, he should absolutely turn it off after the World Title match, because that is one of the worst actual rumbles of all time

    He should turn off the Rumble after Bryan gets eliminated.

    WELL ok then I guess you can just watch Money in the Bank at my house
