Nope. Pretty certain you interpreted it correctly.

Yep. As soon as the physicality began in front of the ring, the crowd chimed right in. The "whoah-oh-oh" might drown a pop on television but it's prrrrrrrrrrrrretty easy to distinguish between the two in person.

Yep. It looks like she's sort of being positioned to be the lead female character on Smackdown…probably the best way for her to sort of get out of the Charlotte/Sasha shadow.

Honestly, it seemed like the air was almost sucked out of the arena. Nia did get a nice smattering of applause after the fact but we had all been sort of waiting to explode for Bayley since the start of the show. Probably didn't help that the Finn announcement came so early and the crowd had time to sit and stew.

I was in the crowd, last night. Figured I'd simply add a few quick, not-at-all-important notes:

I was genuinely bummed to hear that David was leaving Cheap Heat. Over the last year plus, I thought that show really developed into something special. Shoemaker and Rosenberg had unique but naturally complimentary strengths that made for an incredibly entertaining listen (even when the show would occasionally devolve…

As a former video store clerk, I'll concede that this spiffy new invention may have rendered one of my brethren's most conspicuous skills obsolete, but our true power always laid in the ability to lurk through, and laugh about, the sordid rental history of our high school teachers and local celebrities. Let's see this…

I saw a screening of Baraka during my freshman year of college. I went vegetarian for 12 years immediately after viewing the scene in the chicken processing plant.

"Inflammable means flammable? What a country!"

I'm four tracks into it. Once you get by the terribleness of "Restless", it's pretty mmk.

That's an experience that even pre-dates Amazon (and CD Now). In Boston, the custom was to check out the new releases on the listening stations at Tower and then walk a block down the street to buy them $5-$8 cheaper at Newbury Comics. I'd imagine the experience was much the same for folks living in other metros with…

While Sasha vs. Bayley was easily the match of the weekend, nothing topped Rollins' Barry Gibb costume.

"Gotcha. Cat in the furnace."

That's a fine little list. When did you snag the Burma signatures? I've got a copy of Signals, Calls…signed by the lot of them but that one didn't involve any heartache. And congrats on the Richman and Peter Wolf! I've only ever managed to incur their wrath.

Thanks! As the young lady above attests, there were at least 4 cute young ladies. I'm sure there were others about but my section of the line was old-dude central. Everyone was comparing variations of their stories about that time back in '86 when their brother's-girlfriend's-cousin's band opened for The…

Well played! That's exactly how I should have broken the ice. My hair was (and, well, remains) a lazy approximation of Tommy's on the cover of Let it Be. Should've just asked for hair-care tips.

My complete and utter inability to conduct myself as a rationale, socially competent human-like person at the age of 19 resulted in my netting the only two autographs that have ever mattered to me…a cigarette signed by Paul Westerberg and a copy of This Year's Model signed by Elvis Costello and dedicated to a girl who…

I'm getting married in July.  I bought a suit for the wedding at Men's Wearhouse…partly due to the price…mostly due to my lack of excitement about the marriage.
