It didn’t help that he was booked to have Dolph be on offense most of the way, which was odd for a “showcase” match. If you want to see what Naka is capable of, go to NXT Takeover: Dallas on the Network and watch Nakamura vs Sami Zayn, which was the best WWE match last year in my book

So, who gets the belt after Mahal? Will they give it back to Orton? Styles is locked up in his feud with Owens, so he’s not likely to get a title shot, much less another WWE Championship run. I’ve heard rumors about Rusev, but those are just rumors. Still, it’d be interesting to have him hold the title. His mike work…

I don’t actually oppose the move, as Orton’s title run was really not going well partially due to those Bray matches, and there are some stories to be told there, but I’m kind of sad that this means Rusev isn’t getting his opportunity. They were, after all, subtly hyping him to be Orton’s next challenger and I think…

That thing where you really just wanted to tell everyone that you wrestle.

Can you imagine shelling out all that money and working that hard just for PENCE to be the speaker? Huge slap in the face.

I think the nature of the Backlash card should serve really well to elevate Nakamura even further, especially the reception to the Ziggler/Nakamura match on the European tour was pretty good. Backlash really doesn’t have that big match so this has that chance to really stand out on that card.

Oh no, an IWC representative. Look, Shin is one of the five best in-ring performers on the planet. But that’s not WWE’s prime consideration. If it were, the company wouldn’t have put its world champion, and the best in-ring performer on the planet, in a four-month program with James Ellsworth.

the Duggar family has said they’re only suing now to “protect all children who are victims of abuse.

Part of my job is putting up signs notifying the public of upcoming rezoning hearings, and we have an enormous one coming up next week, so I spent nine hours Monday and Tuesday and another six Wednesday and Thursday walking around our whole city in my floppy hat and hiking boots putting up bright purple signs at…

And when you walk outside, wear sunscreen.

Unfortunately I have to admit Sting in that...thing was a pivotal moment in young gay Count Fenring’s strange new feelings. Not proud, just is what it is.

I actually forgot about Devin Nunes and it was only a month ago. This administration is exhausting.

I mean they still made Baron Harkonan fly around rather than hover like he did in the books.

I blame God. The Cubs shouldn’t have won last year.

I clicked play. I saw that it was 8 minutes. I clicked pause. I thought to myself, “Fuck it, I trust Redford.” I clicked play.

But Bob Dole does have a pen to loan you for the contract.

To be fair though, for thousands of years, the vast majority of people with power/wealth have been monsters, so this isn’t exactly a new development. The only thing that’s really changed is that, due to modern technology, we now know the extent to which our rich and powerful are disgusting creatures.

For thousands of years, we didn’t reward ghoulish monsters who needlessly made vulnerable people’s lives unquestionably worse with fabulous wealth and power. Since capitalism and modern media has reversed that tradition, we can drop the pretense of respectability when one of these assholes dies on the toilet.

I’m sad only because we won’t get to experience the joy of finding out he died ever again.
