YOU DID THIS BY MENTIONING HIM!

I don't feel like Neville has ever actually been given a chance to get over on the main roster. The hell of it is that it did actually look like they were starting to get behind him, and he would likely have stood out in the stunt match at Mania. Where would he have gone from there? Who knows? But at least he would…

Fair enough, but all I can tell you is that after seeing him do basically the same schtick for ten years, I cannot flip the channel fast enough when I see him on TV.

Yes, I'm very familiar with Marseilles. That's usually where I stop to turn around on bike rides from my folks' house.

Oh God, now I'm going to have to talk with my mother—an avid Colbert viewer—about Babymetal.

Vince loves The Miz, probably because he loves everyone who gets famous somewhere other than WWE.

He's also not Neville talented, either. Of course, they've been blanding up his offense since he got to NXT because they want him to work more of a "big guy" style since he's so jacked. He has natural charisma, but he just hasn't been able to connect with crowds. I seem to recall a bit on Breaking Ground where Scott…

My folks and my sister live in Morris, which is about 10 miles west of Minooka, and my mom (a dedicated Colbert viewer from way back) texted me this morning to tell me about this. She thought it was great.

He can be carried. It's fairly telling that all of the good matches he's been in are with guys who are certifiably great. (This is why the "OMG, Cena has been having great matches!" stuff makes me crazy—of course he did, he's been working with guys who are way better than he is.)

He's really short, though, and Vince hates short. Also, he didn't really connect with the crowd in NXT, and that crowd wanted to love him so bad—not a good sign.

Considering the "one vs. all" garbage was approximately when crowds turned on Roman for good, they might want to rethink this strategy.

Sorry, but I just don't need to see the Miz on my TV anymore. I want to change the channel every time I see his face. This is a company that has Shinsuke Nakamura, Samoa Joe, and Finn Bálor sitting in developmental, and they're doing a championship angle with a guy who's been with the company for a decade, is an…

In communication scholarship, what they did is known as inoculation theory—typically, telling people in advance that this thing they're about to see isn't indicative of the way things really are in order to control how people view reality. It's commonly used in political campaigns. Unfortunately, it's also transparent…

Adding to what others have said, it's the disingenuousness of the company that tends to be so galling to fans. The corporate line—from guys like Vince, Cena, and even Austin—is that the guys who fans like (guys like Bryan, Cesaro, and now AJ) just aren't working hard enough to grab the brass ring. But then Vince turns…

Jericho either can't keep up with AJ or has been told by management to try to slow him down. Either way, it's been striking how much better AJ's work has been when he's in there with someone else, particularly the short sequence he had with Kofi in the New Day match.

It's 2-2.

Fozzy doesn't have any tour dates on the books, and they're not recording for at least another several months. There's no reason to presume that Jericho is taking off soon.

Probably because it was finally fucking over. I felt like I was being held hostage, and I was just watching it at home.

I got some news for you if you think Roman is 25: Dude turns 31 in May.

Nah, Brock is a team player. You just can't do a truly crazy garbage match on a PG show. I'm just not certain why they feel they need to keep Brock so strong, considering they clearly don't want him in the title picture anymore. I'm not saying Dean is the guy who should get the rub (I think he's massively overrated…
