I'm not averse to the idea of Bob and Drew* but it feels a bit early in them pretending to care about Lashley.
* Needs to be 10 minutes, max, of them smacking the shit out of each other though. Didn't they supposedly have a good match along those lines in TNA / Impact / Double J's Wrasslin Boogaloo?

Gulak being back is awesome.
Riddle being moved (and obviously buried) is not.
"Who will Riddle's first "main roster" feud be? Today's Cageside Seats Rumor Roundup column thinks Baron Corbin."
Of course it is. Followed up with Dolph Ziggler, presumably.
Seemingly Jax has injured Sane again. This time BUSTING HER WIDE OPEN off the ring steps.
Wrestling Nia regularly is definitely a punishment for not wanting to sign a new deal.
That has to be the only reason she's still around.
Is she related to The Rock in some way?
EDIT: Shit she actually is :D
She didn't have the reputation for botching til she got to the main roster, as well.
Faaaaarrrking hell!!

I've not watched NXT yet but apparently Thatcher lost a couple of teeth to Riddle last night.
Just scanning the Dynamite results.
The BADDEST MAN ON THE PLANET struggling to tear his own shirt of doesn't sound like a very good look for anybody involved.
I hope it’s as good as the time Luger did it.
Aew! Aew! Aew!
So .... this is all leading to Tyson vs Tyson, right?
I'm watching Ospreay vs. Gallow from WCPW. I've not seen Ospreay loads of times but he's always been a face so this is a nice change of pace him being the heel.
Not sure why but I turned Smackdown on.
What an into.
Going for a hit and run with a drunk Jeff Hardy storyline.
Realism :drool:
It seems the other side of the Hardy's are not too pleased Vince has made Jeff's drug problems an angle.

it is fairly typical of WWE's love of blurring the lines these days combined with them having zero sense of decency, though for all Matt's apparent outrage Jeff has agreed to shoot the bit so there's only so much room for indignation here.
Presumably Jeff signed off on this. "Y'see, I'm not really taking drugs. Braun's set me up for a blow off match at Summerslam."
So did Matt Hardy when they made his long-term girlfriend cheating on him a storyline and I don't think he was too pleased about that either. You don't have a choice when your salary depends on saying yes.Quote:

Let's not forget Hardy re-signed to do that. I'm fairly certain he could have kept running the indies and ROH and whatnot as he had been but made a choice to come back to a bigger contract and probably the hope of doing more.
WWE being tacky doesn't mean the Hardys are blameless in this.
Taking advantage of an addict for ratings is always a classy move.
I'm trying to catch up on Dynamite so I can watch the PPV thing from last week. Jericho really is the best, he saves the episodes that he does commentary on, really good chemistry with Skee-a-vone. Not just because he's funny/stupid in equal measures but the way he manages to be a heel but not bury the face wrestlers even when they beat one of his one group.
There literally isn't an indy or an ROH at the moment.Quote:

I never want to see them again.
I was talking about Matt re-signing in 2005, as you had in the very post I was responding to.Quote:

Just watched SD and I wonder what convoluted bullshit we're going to get to blame the Jeff crash thing on Sheamus.
My bad, apologies. At the end of the day you do a lot of work you don’t want to do even if you find it demeaning.Quote:

I think I said this earlier in the thread but I admire about Lumis that he considers his gimmick in everything he does. A pity they've lumbered him with that name.
I just watched Walter vs. Ospreay from Defiant Wrestling and it was fucking great.
Walter needs to sign for NJPW and join Suzuki Gun.
He needs a match against Bryan is what he needs.
That isn't allowed.Quote:

The match would be taking place in America so it wouldn't break shit. Meltzer gives it 4.5/5 at best.
Hell yeah. If they were allowed to have input in the match it would be a instant classic.Quote:

The WWE bookers would turn out a solid 3.5 star match.
Chelsea Green and Dijakovic also rumoured to be going up to the main roster.
Dijakovic is more than ready but I hope they don't ruin him (they will) but Green is a bit Lacey Evans for me. She looks good but she still looks a little too green. She hasn't been given a lot of matches in NXT and they've all been quite short so maybe I'm being harsh but her finisher looks like a botched Unprettier and she seems to move a little awkwardly.
Dajikovic is great but calling him up would be weird.
What the logic in calling Green would be I couldn't say.
She's pretty.
That seems to be the most important thing for Vince.
Also, I've just seen Kross and Bordeaux's intro for the first time. I'm a big fan of that.
She's not a bottle blonde with enormous (fake or otherwise) tits so she's not really Vince's type.
As for Kross' entrance the lip-synching is shite but it's a good entrance on the whole.
It would be nice if they gave AJ and Bryan 30 + minutes.
Fightful saying people who were at the tapings are saying it's a belter.
Also sounds like Dream vs. Cole is some cinematic shite so I'm preparing to hate a match everybody else wanks themselves dry over.
Great news!
