So Blue Pants was blacked-out drunk? hehehehe
I remember there was talk of getting Bray’s rl sister to be Abigail, but I prefer she remain a mystery. Maybe if they could do the type of transformation Charlize Theron did for Monster to Nia Jax, they could pull it off, but I think Abigail’s better off existing only in Bray’s head. When the hidden malevolent force has a face, it’s no longer scary.
Frankly his sister looks EXACTLY like him and Bo, so it wouldn’t be outside the realm of possibility. But I think she’s perfectly happy with her YouTube cooking show.
Am I under the impression that they are breaking up the New Day? Because that would be a colossally stupid decision
No, it’s just going to be an angle that Bray got inside X’s head and corrupted him. It’ll be like the “vulnerable body part” that got injured, but this time it’s Xavier’s pre-frontal cortex. He’ll be selling fright when facing the Wyatts and we’ll see his 'fro shake.
Ok, WWE. Enough. Wake the fuck up.
The Authority, or whoever the fuck is in charge this week, constantly telling whoever the fuck is your current champion that they’re not good enough and don’t deserve to be champion (See: Daniel Bryan, Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose) may, in your tiny little diseased minds be really cool.
But what you’re telling your audience, week after week, is that the champion IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
Are you completely fucking retarded or do you fail to see how this and your low ratings may be related?
Knock it off, right now.
It worked once, in 1996.
Therefore, by Vince McMahon logic, it will work over and over again every week until the end of time.
Alexa Bliss is coming along as a dominant snotty bitch. I’m digging the way she snarls, takes little bitch-slaps at her opponent, and throws a hissyfit when the referee doesn’t count fast enough. Who knew she’d evolve from the glitter and fairy dust and become everything Eva Marie should have been.
I think the whole choke-slam bit is too unbelievable, in that she just slaps her hand on the front of their throats and they freeze, but yeah, she is really improving and coming into her own.
Eva Marie is just too dim witted to improve in the ring.
Listening to the Stone Cold Podcast with AJ Styles.
He tells AJ Styles to turn the volume up when he’s in there with Cena or he’ll get lost in the shuffle. That seems to be a criticism to me, not telling him to kick Cena’s ass. He’s saying “you better do better the next time you face Cena or you’ll be kicked back to the midcard”.
No link to it because I don’t have facebook at work, but Tajiri signed a long-term contract with WWE/NXT to remain even after the CWC.
I have no idea who he is, but the smarks seem pretty happy for him.
He’s a former United States champion, 3-time cruiserweight champion, and 2-time tag champion (once with William Regal, once with Eddie Guerrero).
In WWE? or was he a WCW guy that I don’t remember?
I believe Tajiri started in original ECW (at least in the US). A large part of his WWE stint was him playing assistant to William Regal.
And for anyone who missed TNA last night (which I suspect is most people…), there is a “Director’s Cut” of the Final Deletion match at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GG6y-5OYc_0
It’s…something. Background is that Jeff Hardy cost Matt Hardy the TNA Championship, then won a couple of high-profile grudge matches, and so Matt became “broken” and started dressing and talking very strangely, eventually challenging Jeff to a match for the Hardy name, which lead to this (and includes an appearance by “Willow,” which was JEff Hardy’s alter-ego a couple years ago when he was storyline banned from Impact)
I’m so angry at TNA. They opened up tapings at Universal again and, for the THIRD TIME, I can’t make it.
This time it’s because they’re taping in the middle of the week and I can’t get from work to the tapings on time.
Swear to God they better not go out of business before I can make it to a show…
It could be worse - at least you don’t have to attend a TNA taping! 
Meanwhile, the tournament bracket for the Cruiserweight Classic has been announced. I’ve avoided any spoilers from the tapings thus far, but Gargano vs. Ciampa ought to be a fun match, and my early prediction right now is it’s going to be Johnny vs. Zack Sabre Jr. in the final.
(Do note that the “Daivari” listed fighting Hoho Lun is not the same Shawn Daivari who was previously in WWE and Lucha Underground, but is rather his younger brother Arya Daivari.)
I watched a few minutes of Trip’s introductions last night. Missed the part where he told them “Well, like any tournament, half of you get a single match to shine and then you’re out”. 
I just watched this last night after hearing the podcasts freak out about it.
Boy is that fun! I think I would classify it as a “so bad it’s good” kind of thing, but things like that are what TNA needs to do to keep relevant.
Yes. The challenge will be how to maintain any momentum they gained from doing stuff like this–this kind of stuff can easily wear out its welcome quickly if they’re not careful. But if they just go back to “WWE with a lower budget” that most of the rest of the program already is, they’ll quickly lose any additional eyes this put on the product.
And the fact that they have to change nights again to avoid Smackdown in two weeks isn’t going to help.
The problem with trying to recreate ‘so bad it’s good’ is that most it will just be bad.
TNA would have to get better to be bad. They’ve reached a new depth in the world of professional wrestling. No mean feat when they have to compete for badness with the WWE which spends millions trying to make wrestling worse.
