    These ladders do not look sturdy enough for a wrestling match

    One of my favorite things in wrestling is refs flipping off the heels, pushing them and/or telling them to suck it.

    They always look so dorky when they do it, but when heels react properly to it (like the Bucks did here), it's the best.

    Okada beats naito

    Which wouldn't be as bad if literally everyone in LIJ hadn't lost tonight

    Man, I really liked that NXT Womens Championship match at The End.

    I'm waaaay behind on everything.

    Goldberg I can't see coming back on a full time schedule, he'd get the Brock deal. But no way Vince pays him as much. Mysterio I'd only like to see feud with Kalisto. Jeff Hardy I just don't see much use for in WWE anymore. Angle could be primarily a mentor and wrestle on occasion.


    WGTT and AA feuding over who deserves Angle's mentorship more.

    Morrison returns and forms a stable with Ryder and Ziggler(and maybe Mojo....JoMo and Mojo!) and their entire gimmick can basically be a live version of Zack's YouTube series.

    Team up Brother Nero and straight-haired JTG and just have Nero constantly calling him Matt.

    Just like the idea of a brand split, there is nothing inherently wrong with older wrestlers being on the roster. It's a question of how you use them.

    Do you team them up with younger guys to give them some experience and give them a little bit of a rub? Are the older guys putting the younger guys over like Jericho tends to do?

    It's all in the writing. I want to see good matches and stories. The age of the performer matters little in either regard.

    If this brand split gives me Kofi Kingston v. Shelton Benjamin in an nonelimination-off in the Royal Rumble, it will have been worth it.

    Yep, actual age vs TV age should be a bigger factor.

    Huh, apparently due to a lawsuit with one of the big ticketing companies, I've got 2 general admission passes I can use for 1 event through 2020. Guess I'll have to make some time next time WWE rolls through town...

    Sadly, the vouchers are just through Livenation, not ticketmaster themselves. And wwe does not go through livenation. And they can be used at select shows only (none announced so far).

    This is incorrect at least for NXT. They're using live nation for NXT Live in Indianapolis.

    Also yeah they're bullshitting with that list. I wanna know what I can go to for freeeee

    Just the fact that LIJ all lost in the same night

    Doesn't seem like Sanadaand EVIL are really treated as threats compared to their redebuts

    They spent a long time cultivating a very cool stable and even if they're going to rise again when naito wins the g1 it sucks that they feel kinda toothless for the moment

    it really wasn't awkward when listening to it, rosenberg is friendly with noelle and had a great rapport with mick himself

    also, I remember him saying corbin, not ziggler, but that might be on me. (it may have been that rosenberg responded by mentioning corbin because he's wrestling ziggler. that does make sense)

    honestly nothing about it was weird in any sense if you hear it in context. mick said when he was younger he was single while training and he thinks if he had someone at his side he might not have pushed through the hard times, he might have retreated to that comfort.

    he also wasn't as down on her progress as that post makes it sound. she and he agreed her current issue is that she has trouble selling as far as her face, she smiles too much, things like that. it's not like it was just him saying she's bad because of her boyfriend and then rosenberg creeping on her. frank's size was only mentioned in the sense that he wouldn't be physically intimidating to the wrestlers. and the job thing is like the most normal thing for a dad to say about 18-21 year old kids.

    sorry to be super defensive but I listened and like rosenberg a bunch so I want to set the record straight.

    I should have listened to the interview then it sounds like.

    Regardless while it is skeevy of Dolph both him and Noelle are adults so it doesn't bother me much even with the age difference.

    Apparently, the odds on the main event tonight just flipped, with Seth going from a massive underdog to a pretty big favorite.
