The technical difficulties sound too bad, like it was this show’s one chance to really try and make an impression, and they dropped the ball.

Other than all that it seemed like a not-too-bad outing for 30 bucks.

I can’t imagine Rey losing his mask (again)

Now I can’t get that tune out of my head.

RIP Submission Sorority.

As any 15 year old boy will tell you, doing a google search on the words brings up…you guessed it…porn.

Apparently its a video that experienced a 56% jump in traffic and a 40% increase in subscriptions.

Lolz

OH, so that’s why they’re now PCB.

Urban Dictionary says PCB can stand for Printed Circuit Board, Panama City Beach, Premature Coupling Behavior, Pretentious Condescending Bitch, and Professional Cock-blocker. Nothing majorly deleterious at least.

Seth got in some major gloating last night. “You’re not straight outta Compton. You’re straight outta action!” The best part was where he had that still of Cena and his mashed-up nose, then superimposed his own lips telling him how great he was. For some reason, that’s my weakness, whenever somebody mocks somebody else by using a lookalike puppet or Monty Pythonesque limited-motion animation.

Stayed for the Cesaro & Owens make RKOrton look good match. Will watch the rest of RAW later.

Raw actually entertained me pretty good last night, I didn’t feel like it dragged too terribly much.

Although I am annoyed with the constant barking of DIVAS REVOLUTION…you can stop saying that now.

I thought the Stephen Amell bit was awesome and am looking forward to the match at Summerslam pretty heavily

I do like the comment on one of the wrestling sites though. Would have been a hilarious response.

“You’re an actor, not a wrestler”

“And yet you keep putting your wrestlers in movies”

Oy. Red and Green Arrow will team for SS.

BRING BACK DAVID ARQUETTE! HE’S A FORMER WORLD CHAMPION MAGGLE!

Amell does do his own stunts, so maybe they won’t have to dance around him and he’ll take a bump or tew.

Ryback’s cojoined twin seems to have retreated. Big Show looked really tired. Must have been all the bags he was carrying… under his eyes. _badump bump_

No LU to report. I’m going through withdrawal…

NXT was pretty underwhelming until the girls’ match at the end. The audience for some reason decided to be ironic hipsters and thoroughly bought into Tye Dillinger’s Perfect 10 gimmick.

FINALLY Caron Boring has some competition. The audience kept yelling “boring” when Baron was doing his usual squashes, then “THANK YOU JOE” when SJ put him to sleep, like Baron had been doing me.

The girls kicked ass in a match with few rest holds. They were too good for Sasha to heel over.

I started chanting “Corbin’s gunna BORE you!” in parody of the Joe chant. Would love to see them do that at a taping.

Oh yeah, and Becky Lynch in that outfit. Oh. My.

I may no longer be married, but I still have ‘the list’. Only two women on it right now; Patricia Tallman and Becky Lynch.

I don’t know if I would quite call it hipster, his gimmick kills at the house shows, people LOVE it.

The women’s match was pretty good, but it’s hard to get into a match when I know the outcome. Also, can we please stop putting people on commentary without a script? Sasha was awful last night and the commentary team had no idea what to do with her, and she had no idea what to do on commentary.

Speaking of, for the first time ever I wanted the commentary team to shut up and call the match I like NXTs guys, but they are slowly turning int JBL, maggle, and king 2.0

Happy that Corbin’s bubble has popped and happy he’s getting some REAL competition. I was impressed with him when he faced Rhyno however-long ago, and I think some Joe will do him good

So when does Vince get clued into the Hipster thing?

Damian Sandow would make a perfect lumberjack hipster.

Not a bad use of only 25 friggin dollars

So did you actually go to the ticket booth, or did you get them online?

We got them online.

We just happened to be up in the 11:00 range and remembered a taping was that night. We basically said “Well we’re already up, let’s just try”. So come midnight we refreshed the page and I nabbed 2 GA admission tickets before they were sold out around 5 minutes after we finished the checkout process.

I have no idea where the seats are since it literally just says “GA” (it actually says GA Faculty discount, so I don’t know what THAT means), I’m assuming that we get there and they just assign us random seats.

We’re really excited and I was actually wrong on the price…it cost 10 bucks a ticket so we only ended up paying 20 bucks for it. Not a bad investment eh?

Chyna calls it “a tender moment between two people who used to care about each other”

If my ex-wife did that, I’d call it “A terrifying moment of unwanted physical contact with an insane person”.

[Blue Pants now has her own shirt on the WWE shop.](http://shop.wwe.com/Blue-Pants-Authentic-T-Shirt/W10020,default,pd.html)

It’s also been reported that Johnny Gargano and Tomasco Ciampa, under those names, worked as a tag team at this week’s NXT tapings. Gargano is still under contract with Evolve, and Tomasco was under contract with ROH until just recently, so whether or not they’ll be sticking around is anyone’s guess.

Welp, I’m actually going to go to a [Chikara show in Gibsonville NC](http://chikarapro.com/events/season-15/09-26-2015_justice-blind). A couple of my co-workers wanted to check it out, so I’m going to tag along and park my brain at the door.
