I used to get surveys from them from time to time, but I haven’t in a while.
Maybe they kicked me out ![]()

Shots fired - ROH and New Japan have announced a joint show at Madison Square Garden, on WrestleMania weekend, that will air opposite Takeover.
I dont think WWE has had that kind of TV competition since the Monday Night Wars.
I just ran across this cool pic of Andre the Giant and legendary jockey Willie Shoemaker.
Nia Jax has a twisted sense of humor.
In the latest Table For 3, Alexa Bliss is dining with Lita and Trish Stratus. They ask Alexa about the love of her life, her pet pig. They show pics of videos of Alexa’s pig being all cute and cuddly, then show a video of Alexa and Nia in a rental. Alexa’s got her pig, and Nia’s eating a bacon cheesburger. She offers a piece of bacon to the pig and Alexa shouts “That’s cannibalism!” The pig then squeals and hides under her armpit.
I doubt it’s that’s much “competition” in today’s day and age because people can just watch both at the same time now. Or with DVR’s just catch up on it later. Didn’t have that tech in the 90s.
Poor Larry Steve…
Taking my kid to a WWE house show tomorrow. Kind of a last minute decision as I just found out they were in the area. I know this won’t be nearly as big as the PPV we attended, but I hope it’s not a let-down. Tickets aren’t as cheap as I thought they might be.
On the way back from July 4th travels, I tuned in to 93.3 out of Greenville SC, and their morning show DJs were coming up with dog names for WWE stars.
Rover Reigns
Finn Barker
Baron Corgi
Dolph Waggler
Spaniel Bryan
I came up with a few more:
Shih Tzu Nakamura
Shar Pei Flair
Seth Rottweiler
Erick Rover
Samoyed Zayn
wow I don’t know if anyone watches the “behind the titantron” series on you tube but I guess the ultimate warrior out of character said some shit back in the day and some peoples saying its hypocritical of the wwe for being fine with it since other people have been banned permantly for less
heres the link - YouTube
Note the yt comments get political but I know he was blacklisted from the indy scene on the west coast and southwest for ripping off promoters and wrestling schools ……
WWE has put Hulk Hogan back in the Hall of Fame and he’s backstage at Extreme Rules.
I have a bad feeling about this.
I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the WWE house show last night was awesome. Our seats were amazing, lots of high fives and autographs to be had if you were close enough. WWE knows how to put on a hell of a fun live show.
Seems like Hulk has been forgiven and may show up on Extreme Rules tonight. I think this was just a matter of time, but surprised they’re doing it so soon after the recent Moolah controversy.
Quick prediction
KO will win the cage match tonight because Braun turns the cage over and KO hits the floor first.
Just once I’d like to see someone exit through the cage door, feet-first.
Holy shitstacks. KO just took a Mick Foley-level bump.
Hmmm, ER wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t the best either. Hard to put my finger on why.
Aside from the pre-show and cage matches, the event wasn’t all that extreme. Hardy & Wyatt just don’t have that good a chemistry together and needed to lose anyway, so no suspense there. Reigns vs Lashley wasn’t that exciting. It doesn’t make sense to reunite Team Hell No then have Kane taken out of the title match. That completely killed the momentum. Having Asuka focus on killing Ellsworth and somehow not thinking to look behind her while waiting for Carmella to get into position is purely out of Bugs Bunny. Rusev is essentially a face now, so there was no face vs heel dynamic. Nakamura’s sudden victory worked because it was such a bloated card anyway, but the Orton intervention made no sense. Alexa is too “elegant” for a junkyard match. It would have worked better with tough broads such as the Riott Squad.
I give this PPV an “ehhhh.”
.
Truth.
I hate these two together and am glad they lost. Bray is way overrated (OverBRAYted) and what’s the point of having Woken Matt when you only do one Final Deletion-esque match?
I’m so exhausted with everything that has to do with Reigns, and it has nothing to do with him. Reigns on screen? The stupid mark fans boo and cry. Reigns wins “Of course he wins, he’s being forced on us!” Reigns loses? “What? How can he lose? He’s Reigns! This is so stupid!” It just ruins everything.
I heard he got injured and this was a re-write.
Disagree with this because it’s the modern version of Chickenshit heel. What about Asuka though? Talk about a fall!
I shouldn’t matter because these guys should be good enough to just go at it and entertain us. Should being the key word.
Plus Jeff is hurt (or hurt adjace) and needs to rest.
This whole match was a shitshow. I’m also 100% bored with the women’s division. I’m bored with the same women over and over again doing the same things.
Basically
My guess as to why they had the RKO run-in: I think Jeff needs some time off to heal something, and why not get RKO back into the fans’ conversations while you’re at it?
I was a little surprised they didn’t mention how fast the pinfall was. What was it - four seconds from bell to three count? The only faster match I can think of was then Undertaker’s then-wife (Sara) pinned DDP in three seconds (after DDP was tombstoned before the match started). Then again, nobody mentioned another infamous short match that Hardy lost…
One reason the PPV was “meh”: a little too much of “been there, done that,” especially with the ending of the Ironman match. You would think that every wrestler would remember the ending to the Bret Hart-Shawn Michaels one, which was exactly what happened at ER, but (a) with Gorilla Monsoon instead of Kurt Angle, and (b) the challenger ended up winning.
Jeff Hardy wrestled in the house show the night before and I did wonder if he’s totally healthy. He looked pretty limited. But, I think he could have done *something *with Nakamura. And apparently he’s getting a rematch, what, tonight? So it’s not like there was a ton of time to rest.
Lousy show. Two matches ruined by injuries, they could have come up with a better way to work this out. Another Rousey fracas, too bad she can’t wrestle. Nothing else was noteworthy, even KO going off the top of the cage was underplayed. There isn’t much to expect from these minor events but this used to be the chance for wrestlers to raise their status with a great performance, now even this low level stuff is so highly scripted that they all just phone it in.
RKO’s entire career is phoning it in nowadays. He attacks Hardy after Nakamura beats him up and tells him “you know what you did.” What, painted fake eyeballs on his eyelids? Is this how they’re writing Hardy out while he’s recovering? That rarely works. By the time he’s healthy, the whole dynamic will have changed and Orton will probably be gone again because “creative didn’t have anything.”
