So…Nakamura is on Talk is Jericho. Relatively interesting, but Jericho is speaking in a pseudo-Japanse accent, and he’s speaking in broken English. I can guarantee you he’s doing it entirely subconsciously, but it’s still funny/annoying. ---

Honestly nothing terribly new or interesting from the house show. Main event was “Authors of Pain” vs TM-61 (will o the wisp for you pokemon fans). Another match between Alliyah and Liv Morgan which was a total shitshow. Slow moves, botches…these girls gots a looooong way to go. ---

Apparently Cena’s reality show was given another season (or should it be ce-son…hey oh!) So more part-time Cena in the coming months ---

Hip-hop Hobbit Ok, this has gone on too long. I’d turn back time and tell them to cut it several minutes shorter. ---

What were they saying about Mark Henry and the Olympics? Is he going as just an ambassador? Or is his old-ass actually participating in a weightlifting thing? ---

> [@Sir\_T-Cups](#): > > Is he going as just an ambassador? Or is his old-ass actually participating in a weightlifting thing? Just as an ambassador. I doubt at his age he can lift the way he could 20 years ago (or, considering the latest revelations about WWE part-timers, that he could pass a drug test). In other news, Jinder Mahal, who was released two Purges ago, is back in order to give Heath Slater something to do! Now Vince just needs to convince Drew Galloway to come back to him and we can have the 3MB reunion literally no one asked for. (He _is_ currently a tag team champion in Evolve, so it’s completely possible.) ---

I, for one, would personally love to see Drew McIntyre back in WWE. ---

> [@Sir\_T-Cups](#): > > You won’t regret it! > Also, I’m to new to wrestling…is there anyone who has commanded a room like Enzo? Seriously… Everyone worth mentioning. He’s not commanding a room, it’s just playing a tired game with the audience. He’ll be forgotten soon. Mick Foley commanded a room, Daniel Bryan commanded a room, both better than Enzo, neither at the top of the list. The Rock commanded a room, Dusty Rhodes commanded a room (and the Rock copied most of his bit), the Ultimate Warrior commanded a room without speaking, the list goes on and on. Seriously, he’s a blip on the radar. ---

You forgot Flair, Piper, and while I didn’t like him, Hogan. Honorable mentions to Austin and Eddie Guerrero. ---

I like Enzo, but I think his peak is probably at Road Dogg levels rather than, say, The Rock levels. That’s not a knock on him. The Rock is one of the most popular wrestlers of all-time. ---

> [@ekedolphin](#): > > I like Enzo, but I think his peak is probably at Road Dogg levels rather than, say, The Rock levels. Well, Enzo’s entrance schtick pretty much _is_ a latter-day cover of Road Dogg’s, so the comparison is apt. ---

> [@D\_Odds](#): > > You forgot Flair, Piper, and while I didn’t like him, Hogan. Honorable mentions to Austin and Eddie Guerrero. Yeah, it goes on and on. Enzo is good, but so far he’s doing exactly the same thing each time. Most of them fail to get past that point. Special mention for Chief Jay Strongbow, he had that command in the ring when he was wrestling, didn’t even need a microphone. ---

I guess they think Enzo will draw in more teens. Plus, Sasha still kind of stumbles on her promos, so Enzo was sent in for lip support. In E & C’s interview with SCSA, Enzo talked about how much work he puts into promos, so he’s destined to be the mouth of WWE, and Cass will continue to be his Billy Gunn. Looks like Roman is destined to replace Cena as US champ weekly defender. Not too far a fall from grace, if you don’t mind being king of the mid card. I haven’t played Pokemon Go yet and I already hate it. Good thing I can FF through Golden Shower’s matches. ---

Well I’m going to go ahead and take credit for it. 😛 I’ve said several times, including recently, that what RR needs is to spend time in the mid-card battling for the IC or US titles. That this may help rebuild him and get rid of some of the stench of “forced on us for several years despite being solidly rejected by the fans”. Unless they make him invincible in the division, which won’t help anyone. ---

Did you notice the cheer he got when he came out though? It was much bigger than I thought. Narry a “boo” to be heard. In a related note: Holy hell has Rusev gotten massive. Better put him in the wellness policy too because he’s gained like 20 pounds of muscle in the last month.
