Rollins said that the Pedigree is his finisher now for all intents and purposes at some convention panel weeks ago, and that the curb stomp's not coming back. It's banned by the networks.

He's not a bad actor but he's bad on this show. Dalton and (especially) Green go BIG to the hilt in a way that celebrates the ridiculousness of the show but Kinnear plays the forlorn romantic 100% straight and whenever he drops into teeth-gnashing mode it's ridiculous in a way that's not fun or compelling to watch,…

Maybe, but "gushing throat blood" seems pretty final to me (though yes, I do watch Hannibal and it doesn't count!) Plus we've no indication in-universe of how the affliction spreads - I'd just as soon assume, as I always have, that it's a one-time-only curse put on him by the Native Americans he helped genocide.

ALSO I'll go on record as stating that killing off the only minority character on the show (not counting gay Lyle), who was LITERALLY a magical black man and barely there besides, is a bad look for Penny Dreadful.

Caliban locked in a cell for the entire remainder of the series' run is my headcanon tbh

Also loved the way the blind girl stunted on Caliban and spit 100% truth (even tho the show clearly means her to be villainous). "Not everyone shares your mania for poetry" Yes, everyone. Everyone watching this show hates poetry and hates you, you white ass pity party dweeb

Also for fuck's sake kill off Frank's monster already. There's good ACTING and bad ACTING and Caliban is decidedly in the latter category

I'll never not show up for Tim Dalton and Eva Green ACTING. "You are a repellant crea-ture" indeed

I'm pretty sure Sasha is engaged to the dude who makes all of NXT's ring gear. He recently wrestled a dark match and got severely concussed.

Let's just say that Fergal… Pitches a tent on the isle of Wight

I really have to break with LaToya on this one because I see a ton of promise in Jordan - first time I saw him, in a match where he was a no-name jobber, the way he sold and the grace of his offense, he looked like a somebody. Obviously his mic skills leave room for improvement, but as Cesaro and Lesnar show, physical…

Enzo is sweet on Carmella (more accurate to say he creeps on her - their first vignette has him sniffing her hair and getting dropkicked for his trouble) and Cass mainly just laughs when she dunks on him. I think there were little indications that Cass would have better luck with Carmella but imo they seemed to be…

He was a house show talent for so long that it seemed all but inevitable that he would be cut before ever making it to TV, but one of Crowe's looks during that period was basically Young RVD, and it really worked for them. But they ended up coming back to the hacker gimmick for the show.

The question remains… How long will Jimmy Jacobs' era of influence last before he is emasculated by a McMahon and fired?

On the main roster? Won't happen. But Trips and Stephanie do actually seem to know the potential they have in the NXT Womens' roster right now. It's basically a question of, will a Women's match draw the smarks they're trying to bait with their specials more than Kevin Owens vs. (x)? I think it'd be a closer call than…

Big Dave reported that a main roster Diva (unnamed but proooobably Alicia Fox) was practically begging management to send her to NXT, saying that she would move to Tampa for the opportunity. Apparently Eva Marie is getting heat for being paid to do nothing before and now getting paid to work on her ringwork with Brian…

Poor Big Show. He got that surgery to stave off his gigantism and it basically killed his energy. I love him but he's just not made for a road schedule at all. He was sent to OVW because he was fat, but he was fat because he couldn't keep his workouts in sync with the kind of diet that the road gives you. He's stuck…

The story was that after Dixie accidentally cc'd a Destination America network exec about what a poor job they were doing / they were "dummies", the head of DA television set a meeting with her to discuss it, and the show's future. She did not attend because she was mortified.

I'm not sure that ambient distaste for TNA is any greater than it has been for wrestling in general - I guess we'll see if and when Big Dave reports on whether ROH is on the Do Not Advertise list for most of Destination America's biggest supporters the way TNA is / was. Even WWE has trouble getting corporate…

you got it
