USA really needs the ratings boost, especially now that Mr. Robot has proven not to be the breakout hit that the network had hoped it would be. Suits and Chrisley are doing fairly well and Queen of the South is doing okay, but without WWE, USA would be in big trouble.

Dave reported Tozawa was in more than a month ago.

The plan was for Jericho to challenge for the title against Finn at Hell in a Cell in October and then leave. I wouldn't be surprised if he still ends up in the title match on that show.

Seth is a dastardly heel who has not changed in any way. Hunter turned on him, beat him up, and cost him the title. Ergo, Hunter is the babyface. I'm not saying it's not fucked up or that they're not trying to turn Seth face, but reading only what was presented on the show on Monday, that was a babyface turn by

USA would not allow that.

I'm pretty sure the Headbangers thing was one-time-only.

Makes too much sense, but Vince and Dunn will never give up their 20-minute promo to start the show.

On TV that might be fine, but in the arena that would be death. The old three-hour Nitros would have long stretches with no action in the arena, and when they would have matches after such stretches, the crowds would be asleep or hostile.

Your child clearly has basic human empathy, unlike Vince McMahon.

The way it was played made it look like it was Hunter who was turning face.

Heenan and Heyman weren't hitting finishers on guys and then throwing whoever happened to be sitting in the corner at the time on top.

All it does is tell you that none of these guys are on his level. It came off like Hunter won and deferred his title to Owens, because he's above silly things like titles. It was an inauspicious start to Owens' title reign, and he's going to have to beat a lot of dudes convincingly to overcome it. Of course, he won't,

The notion that Nikki Bella is some kind of great worker, which has been perpetuated in lots of places lately, is utterly baffling to me. After all these years in wrestling, she still doesn't move like an athlete.

The almighty Hunter won the big one and handed Owens the belt because apparently he didn't want it. Same as it ever was, really.

Nitros from 2000? Only do this if you want her to think that wrestling is terrible. Even the good stuff – namely, 3 Count vs. Jung Dragons – had a bunch of stupid shit surrounding it.

Nobody thought the Gaye estate would win, because when cases like this have been brought in the past, they've always been thrown out since it's virtually impossible to prove inspiration.

If you're in metal, just think – Sharon Osbourne is the person with her finger on the button if this ruling is upheld.

I love that the highest-rated show on the network is New Japan Pro Wrestling. "World-a Pro Wrestling… Returns!"

I just watched that episode, and it's explained that the last name she's using is an ex-husband's. There's really no ambiguity about the fact that she's Karen Sisco, although the name thing was clearly put in for plausible deniability in case whoever held the Karen Sisco rights flipped out. In fact, IMDb has that Justi

That's been Netflix's MO since its streaming service began.
