Wellp I just got an email from WWE and apparently they created another PPV/Network exclusive event. Roadblock will be March 12 Live on the WWE network! Dean and Trips will have their title match there so that HHH can win and not actually change a damn thing ---

The word on the street is that Orlando is going to be announced as the home of WrestleMania 33 any day now. I’m preemptively calling a WrestleMania Dope-Fest at **Sir T-Cups’** place. 😃 ---

Hell yeah, that would fine with me. I’ve already met one of you, might as well complete the circuit. Speaking of which (and totally off topic) Ms. Cups and I were eating at a place that had trio of guys playing covers and one of the gutarists looked EXACTLY like you **Knowed Out**. Got a long lost brother who lives in Florida or somethin? ---

Heh. I looked at the VIP Wrestlemania packages, thinking I did it with the U2 concert for my birthday and it worked well, why not? Yeah, they’re like $4-5k… ---

If it does happen here, where would it be? Citrus Bowl? Or are they aiming for the new soccer stadium that I’m not entirely sure will be built by next April? ---

[Kevin Nash to donate his brain for CTE research](http://espn.go.com/espn/story/_/id/14888364/kevin-nash-says-donate-brain-spinal-cord-cte-research) Good for him. I think more wrestlers should participate in this type of thing. Also…Tuesday eh? Fingers Crossed!! ---

\*BAHWANNNNGGGAAAAAHHHHH BAAANNNNHHH\* **Sexy Star vs Kobra Moon** I was hoping this would be more a rivalry situation, but Sexy is still mired in the Mothman Prophecies angle. As Sexy has Kobra in a submission hold, she sees Marty in the audience gently flapping his arms, possibly looking for a light source to orbit. Sexy freaks out, and winds up being submitted by Kobra. Maybe she was afraid Marty would eat holes in her singlet? Get some camphor. Damn, the LU Wiki page has this season’s title holders already. Curse my sagging memory. Famous B had another 90’s-era cable commercial, hawking his managerial skillz. Rey Rey and El Dragon Azteca Jr had another training session. Obi Wan Mysterio talked more about how EDA Jr would unite the seven tribes. Who the hell wrestled the second match? I keep thinking it was somebody against the cat guy. Really strong weed… **Final match: King Cuerno vs Fenix in a Ladder Match for the Gift of the Gods title** I’d say of all the LU stars, Fenix has taken the most sick bumps by far. Prince Puma’s up there too, but Fenix should be in a body cast. Cuerno kept slamming him into ladders and somehow Fenix kept going. At one point both guys held on to the brace as the ladder fell beneath them, so they both dropped to the mat. Fenix finally brained Cuerno enough to keep him down while he retrieved the belt. I’ll leave it to \*\*Smapti \*\*to fill in the holes. Until then, \*BAHWANNNNGGGAAAAAHHHHH BAAANNNNHHH\* ---

> [@Knowed\_Out](#): > > Who the hell wrestled the second match? I keep thinking it was somebody against the cat guy. Really strong weed… That was Puma vs. Pentagon Jr., which ended with Mil Muertes running in and wrecking both of them, then declaring in a post-match promo (where he stands up to Catrina and it’s strongly implied that she is literally Death itself in human form) that he’ll defend the title against _both_ of them next week. What’s this? A heel champion who actually wants to defend his title because he’s confident that he can win on his own merits? Doesn’t he know that heel champions are always supposed to act aghast and morally offended by the idea that they’re expected to wrestle, and then run away, cheat, and hide behind authority figures at every opportunity? Someone give this guy Kevin Dunn’s phone number so he can get set straight. 😃 > [@](#): > > I’ll leave it to **Smapti** to fill in the holes. That’s what she said. ---

Ran a 5k yesterday so I was only able to catch a wee little bit of Smackdown. But guys, did you know Dean Ambrose is unstable? He’s crazy. He’s crazy unstable. His craziness is only supplanted by his lack of stability. Things we do that are normal, he thinks is weird because he’s unstable. And crazy. Like, so unstable you guys. He’s stupid too. So stupidly and crazily unstable. He is neither sane nor stable. ---

But he’s so crazy that he actually enjoys being brutally beaten over and over! You know, the Daniel Bryan spot. The one where you do nothing but take ludicrous bumps until you can no longer wrestle, just to be the underdog! (Still not watching) ---

Dean’s match vs HHH for the champeenship is so pointless. They’re both booked for WM matches, each contingent on HHH still being champ. Dean’s sole purpose is to put over HHH. Maybe they’ll reward him with a WM win over Brrrock by pinning him with a garbage truck or something. ---

Dean’s sole purpose is to put over HHH. Maybe they’ll reward him with a WM win over Brrrock by pinning him with a garbage truck or something. Honestly, the smart thing to do at Roadblock would be to have Dean win. Then, on Raw, you establish that this has created a conundrum - Trips is entitled to a rematch, but Roman has already won a title shot, and then Paul Heyman comes out and reminds everyone that there’s already a deal for his client, BRAAAAAAAAAWK LEZZZZZZZZNER, to fight Dean, that nothing in that deal changes just because Dean is now champion, and that if he’s denied his match Paul will sue WWE and the McMahons and Paul for everything they’re worth. Solution? Combine both matches and have a no-holds-barred fatal four way as the main event. It allows Roman to win in a way that lets him Look Really Strong without having to carry the entire match himself, it saves Brock vs. Dean from having to go on third to last and be followed by 'Taker/Shane, and if done well, everybody comes out of it looking like credible fighters who deserve to be in the title scene (and sets up Roman vs. Dean for a later PPV). ---

[Rhyno is running for the state legislature in Michigan.](http://uproxx.com/prowrestling/rhyno-is-running-for-state-representative-in-michigan/) I don’t know if he’s a Republican or a Democrat, liberal or conservative, whether he wants to hand out free ice cream on Fridays or sell orphans to zoos for meat, but if I lived in his constituency I would vote for him on no other basis that he had the unmitigated balls to announce his candidacy while wearing a suit that looks like something Vince McMahon shamefully donated to Goodwill 30 years ago. ---

He should get the WWE Production crew to superimpose his opponent’s face on Finn Balor when he gored him.

The late Big Boss Man has been announced as the latest inductee to the Hall of Fame. I can get behind this one. I don’t recall him ever holding a title in WWF or WCW, but I was a huge mark for him as a kid. I remember that when Nailz made his debut on Superstars of Wrestling and attacked him while wearing a prison jumpsuit, my parents had to stop me from trying to call the police.
