    Roman, like Brock, is a singles guy who seems to work best against someone either normal-sized or smaller than him, with Braun being the one guy bigger than him who he works well with.

    Big man versus big man sucks at least 90% of the time.

    Although I would say that rule becomes less and less true as we get further into the age of 'Large Men Who Have Good Cardio'.

    Yeah Big Daddy V versus Mark Henry in 2008 would be fucking SHITE back in the day, but like Reigns vs Batista in 2019 could be decent because they wouldn't both be gassed before the bell even rang.

    Or if they embrace looney tunes like the Braun vs Roman Ambulance match.

    We're getting 2 AEW Road Tos this week, one in under 90 minutes, as always I'll try to post news if there is any

    In terms of news right now: Cody posted on social media about where he was today with "secrets in NYC" and it's pretty safe to assume with all the hints going around lately and the big buzz from the meeting today that AEW is holding a show in MSG sometime relatively soon

    Very excited to see both AEW and AAA run shows in MSG that I'm probably gonna get to see :D

    I don't like that they keep giving trolls attention, but I like that they keep slapping them down with 100% the best and correct answers

    It's a pretty common thing with college/gym/team shirts? At least the "property of" and design.

    I think that considering who it would be easiest to slap a king gimmick on is the main thing to focus on. So replace Joe with Ricochet. If they ever mention the King of Swing gimmick or bring that shirt back, replace Corbin with Cesaro.

    That's a wildcard factor, at best, if they go for that. Look at the list of former KotR winners -- Bret Hart, Ken Shamrock, Edge, Steve Austin, Brock Lesnar -- most didn't really play it up that much.

    About half of the winners either switched to king gimmicks or had storylines involving the King title. Including the last four. So I'd say there's a pretty good chance.

    WWE2K20 is taking a different strategy for DLC and instead of packs of old wrestlers and NXT stars they are making themed original content that will play with existing superstars as well as add new playable story content to Showcase mode.

    The first pack is horror themed:

    Man watching the stone cold hot ones early on he's a pretty good sport about this, and not at all Gordon Ramsaying it.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    It should help that originally it was meant to mean the shirt is the property of whatever institution...but years of people wearing them to expressly not mean that makes it icky.
