Graves is money but there isn't a real good guy audience surrogate among the bunch. That's what I miss about JR. JR understood the story and the characters and related how the audience should be feeling with his own emotional reaction. How much better are Jericho v Owens and especially Rollins v HHH last night if JR…

Because he is handsome enough to put on the press tour circuit and sell some shirts, athletic enough to not look foolish in the ring( to be fair he can outright go in the ring with the right opponent, namely people under 40)and he is never gonna be charismatic or funny enough to get a career in Hollywood and leave…

I read a fun story this weekend that apparently Lashley competed at WrestleCon and they couldn't even get his damn entrance music cleared because of Anthem. They are inching closer and closer to AAA levels of assholery middle management.

That's the only situation Brock works anymore unless you were a draw in the 90s.

Don't forget the 2 hour preshow which is where WWE hid a Rob Gronkowski cameo, the showstealing crusierweight match, and an IC title match that had been built for about six weeks and involved two instances of attempted murder.

It's truly a show that is 3/4 of really good to great if you count the preshow. The world title matches, the Smackdown women's title, and Reigns v Taker were all flawed in a variety of ways. Stacking them all together in a row sorta makes a shit show sandwich but they all served a purpose and an interesting core story…

I'm sorta hoping that since Dusty's fingerprints are apart NXT's DNA that we'll get a War Games match between Sanity and Team Perfect 10 down the road launching Tye into a title match at Brooklyn against Roode.

DIY have hit the Daniel Bryan level of being so beloved that their popularity sorta gulf's the whole roster's ability to send the audience home happy.

It definitely wasn't his best match ever but that deliberate nature that transitions into rapid intense bursts is part of his gimmick. He is sorta of a gothic terminator. He really needs to incorporate some signature slams or submission combination spots into his move set because it's just gonna be hard to stand out…

Sorta. But it's just sorta logical too. Last year we didn't get a proper singles match from Orton, Rollins, Cena(all injured), Wyatt, Miz, Owens( all underutilized). The show was built around three matches that were all doomed at the start in some sort of fashion where everything this year feels like it could deliver…

I totally agree. Batista and Undertaker had a special chemistry that was undeniable. Batista was such a hit and miss guy ring work wise but he did find an opponent that he gelled with it reached some crazy heights( basically only Taker, HHH, Cena really got to this level with him)

I really think as long as they aren't super indulgent with match run times than this could be a good show. Everything at least sorta has a story and everyone is healthy this year so it's just gonna be cool to see the whole roster show off in front of 75,000-80,000 fans in front of that giant stage. I personally think…

This was the Detroit show and the Battle of the Billionaires right? That was a mismanaged undercard but Cena v Michaels and Batista v Undertaker are some stone cold proof that Batista and Cena were the Rock/Austin of their generation because their star power just made those matches draws with zero story other than the…

Damn we made the exact same comment at the exact same time. Somebody owes somebody a coke.

Jeremy" I'm really just the prettiest character actor/ indie film leading man ever" Renner. He has tried to be a movie star ever since the Hurt Locker and while he has made a boat load of money it's clear he doesn't have the blank slate charm or charmisa to push him over the top in movies where he just needs to blow…

Eh she could have managed Tony better too. She has such a target on her back that he would have been a great lighting rod. All her confessionals feel like she is really feeling herself out there which is just dangerous in this game.

That's right. Damn my memory. But still the rest of it stands.

Her first win is really masterful. She had a plan and solid alliance with Rupert, Christa, Jonny and others. The outcast twist and Fairplay's general insanity wrecked her game early but she hung in there managed to help swing enough votes in the majority alliance to get herself to the end with Lil and FairPlay and…

I think there is a lot of truth to that logic. She is obviously not gonna be able to fly under the radar like she has in the past. But I think she could have if she had stuck with Tony instead of rallying to dump him. There are a few players who she could have shielded herself with and she has passed up the…

Varner made the right move because he took out a big time social and physical threat in JT while managing to survive the pre merge game. Varner is one actually playing Sandra's patented anybody but me game this time around. He is always the swing vote and is well liked which will great assets post merge once his…
