hehehehehehehehehe
Maybe STC should get the mods to rename the thread accordingly. 
If it makes you feel better, I picked up the WWE network for free February with the full intention of re-living my middle and high school days, and because of you guys I’ve watched a bunch of NXT episodes instead. Still probably won’t post, though!
Not a bad plan you had originally, either. I keep meaning to fire up the Network on Mondays at 8pm to watch like two episodes of Saturday Night’s Main Event and an old NXT. The two finest things on the Network are NXT and the archive, followed by $9.99 monthly PPVs.
Finally got around to watching this week’s Lucha Underground, and it was a good one.
The only thing that surprised me is that they didn’t bring Ricardo Rodriguez along to announce Alberto, seeing as they’re back to working together in AAA now.
Argenis, as Matt Striker mentioned, is the brother of Mistico/Mysteziz, the original Sin Cara. One wonders if we’ll see him soon as well?
The WWE Network changed my life.
Steve Corino, RoH commentator cracks me up.
AJ Styles and the Young Bucks, aka The Bullet Club, are in a match. Kevin Kelly, the other commentator, says “I hear you got your wife a Bullet Club T-shirt for Valentine’s Day.” Corino replies “Yeah, but she hates it. I got her an extra large.”
Greetings from sunny Orlando!
Ms. Cups has her Dean Ambrose DA shirt, I have my “old school” Jake the Snake shirt, and we are rocking it all day preparing for tonight!
We went to a hockey game on Saturday and checked out our seats, we are directly underneath the 'Mania sign, facing the isle/tron. We will be just ONE section over of where Reigns will surely enter, so that’s kinda disappointing.
We debating making signs, but it’d be more work to carry in and stuff than we think it’s worth. I am flying back tomorrow morning at 6, and then running straight into work, so maybe no update on everything right away, but we’ll see
Well, somebody could point at the WM sign tonight, so maybe the two of you will be in a crowd shot for a second. Hold up a picture of a tea cup so we’ll know it’s you. 
Friendly advice; resist the urge to touch his exposed flesh.
In December 2013 I went to a Smackdown taping in Portland, and happened to be seated in the second row, on the end of the aisle, right where the Shield made their entrance for their match (I think it was against the Usos, but then all their matches were against the Usos at the time). I gave Rollins a pat on the bicep first, then Reigns - then I had to use my other hand to give Ambrose a pat on the back, because my main hand came back absolutely dripping wet with Roman’s cologne. He must bathe in the stuff - it was literally dripping off my hand and I had to shake it dry, and my hand smelled like my dad’s medicine cabinet for the rest of the night.
(I also got to high-five Natalya and shake John Cena’s hand at that show, but those stories aren’t as memorable.)
So have you washed your hand since? 
Holy Shit, that was Darren Young? I totally didn’t recognize him. (Raw Pre-show on the Network).
So, him and a partner of his choosing against The Ascension tonight, eh? I guess the factor here will be his partner. If it is someone in the mid-card worth a damn, it would give the Ascension their first real feud and create a new team. If they stick him with Slater, Ryder or Titus O’Neil, then they’re just a one-off speed bump.
I’m over watching the Lucha Underground marathon on El Rey. It’s Dia del Jefe! Mostly just to have something on in the background while I doodle around w/ other stuff.
/lana: внимание, внимание… To the drunken lout under the Wrestlemania sign wearing the Tea Cup T-shirt screaming “RKO RKO,” SHUT UP! He isn’t here, you p’yanitsa!
Read where they had a meet ‘n’ greet with Finn, Enzo, Cass and Carmella before the event started. Did you see them STC? Did you genuflect to Finn like the god he is?
Lessee… Cena gets revenge on Rusev, says he’ll win the US championship. Whut? I knew it! Cena’s been lowered to midcard!
Harper vs Ambrose was a fun match, but I’d rather these two have a rip-roarin’, house burnin’ feud. Still, forcing Wade to sign the contract was typical Dean. What a scamp.
Rhodes brothers finally break up. Blood vs blood at WM. Damn, Dusty looked old. Don’t-call-him-Cody looks like a manga version of The Joker.
After watching Paige do her aggressive screamer routine while wearing the Rosebud ensemble and having my mind melt and curdle out of my ears, now I want to see her dress in more crazy outfits. I want to see her as a corpse bride, wearing a cobwebbed, yellowed bridal gown. I want to see her dressed like Daryl Hannah in Blade Runner. I want to see her in a nurse’s uniform brandishing hypodermic needles. God, she’s so weird.
Line of the night: Seth Rollins telling Zig, “You think you’re a real comedian, don’t you Dolph? The only thing funny about you is that joke you call a career!” It sounded like Dolph was close to bringing up the Instagram incident, but it’s a PG show. I wonder how much ribbing Seth has had to endure back stage?
Weird way to bring Darren Young back into the fold, pairing him with a nobody and having Titus come to his rescue. Home Boy has a beard now, and I don’t mean fake girlfriend. Guess we know what the pre show match will be for Fastlane. Ascension will get another win, but they still suck.
I hope when the Miz-Sandow situation finally explodes, Sandow will deliver a scathing promo laced with fifty-dollar words from his Intellectual Savior of the Masses days. For noiw, it looks like they’re milking this act for all it’s worth since it’s drawing so much heat.
I have to say, I’m really digging the Reigns-Brian rivalry. Both guys are being increasingly dickish to each other, and the snarks and digs keep building. WWE seems to have recovered nicely from the Rumble debacle so far, and rumor has it the WM match will be a triple-threat like last year. There’s also rumors that the main roster talent wants NXT type storylines, so maybe Vince is actually letting Trips call more shots, despite telling the stockholders the reason why Rumble bombed is because the fans wanted Santa Claus. No Vince, they just want credit for brains.
Greetings from warm and soon-to-be-rainy Orlando!
Why am I still here you ask? Well there is apparently a nice layer of ice has formed in Charlotte and my flight got cancelled so I have the oh-so-very-hard life of having to spend an extra day with Ms. Cups
Quick hits from our time at RAW:
-
Because wrestling fans apparently can’t drive we got to the arena too late to physically meet the Jersey Trio and Finn, but we definitely saw them and Ms Cups was reduced to a puddle of…something. She loves her some Finn
-
I never knew they filmed Superstars the same time as RAW, so that was a fun surprise for me. Spoiler alert: Fandango over Adam Rose, Swagger over Curtis Axel
-
Since no one knew Darren Young was coming back he was a pretty fun surprise! Did the announcers or anyone say who his jobber partner was?
-
Another fun surprise of Flair coming back. The segment itself was kind whatever, and since we weren’t camera facing we only got flair’s back, but still.
-
When promos were happening and being played on the ‘tron we kept seeing the camera guy, did that happen on air too? The production was really off. They played Ryback’s Feed Me More sound during Rollins’ thing, they did Paige’s music a couple times. Wasn’t their A game
-
3 Ambrose appearances also reduced Ms Cups to a puddle. I’m feeling outgunned here, they need to call Bayley up pretty soon
-
Number one takeaway: There is A LOT of downtime where nothing happens! I expected some kind of promo or talk or something but it’s just sitting there. My favorite things is when its a commercial and they run the superstar’s theme (in this case Bryan when he was doing commentary) and we were all “yes yes yes” and then it stopped and it was dark for like 2 min. Then he gets back on the side and the music turns on and we “yes yes yes” again for a quick shot…then it’s dark again, then everything comes up a third time and it’s the “real” time.
-
Dark match was Cena vs. Bray. It was a good match, lolcenawins. But still fun. Can’t wait for the next one!
I’m pretty sure he’s been studying some Frank Gorshin Riddler (from the old Adam West Batman).
With the beard, to me he looked like he had transformed from the Black John Cena to the Black Justin Gabriel.
STC, JBL said something like “Do we even know the name of Young’s partner?” and nobody answered. I don’t recall seeing the camera guy during promos.
We got the ice up in Raleigh too. Since us Southerners can’t drive whenever there’s any white stuff, I stayed home.
He went from 70’s Generic Black Wrestler Look to Robert Downey Jr. in Tropic Thunder.
A Black Dude playing a Black Dude, playing a Black Dude.
My new flight has since been delayed an hour and a half now. I swear if I have to miss ANOTHER day of work I’m gonna die or get fired…then die BECAUSE I got fired.
I need something cool to happen. Any chance Ric or Charlotte are going to try and fly home this evening too?
Are you kidding? After the end of the Royal Rumble, I considered chopping it off. 
Heehehehheheheeeeee
Coming up next in the Fatal Expressions of Disgust Exhibit, a hand that smells like Roman Reigns.
