Hey Guys,

Trial by fire on the main roster in general could be a good topic.

Since all creative professionals enjoy unsolicited suggestions, a piece on how the hell Elias has gotten over to the extent that he has would be an interesting read.

They had “injured” her with a piledriver a few weeks earlier (this was not long after they legitimately banned talent from using piledrivers under most circumstances). The idea was that she wasn’t 100% at the Royal Rumble and suffered a stinger doing the handspring elbow. It was all storyline, there was no legitimate…

Exactly.

There are two different “X”es. I forget which is for real injuries and which is for show, but one is overhead and one is at chest level.

Daniel Bryan is a bad example, he’s unusually honest by normal person standards, much less pro wrestling standards.

Of the 82 other nations involved that aren’t ourselves or Russia, I wonder how many are thinking “oh thank god no Americans!” Not in a sports competitor sense, but in the cultural sense that we now ruin pretty much everything we touch.

This is all to drum up some sort of thoughts (among the gullible) that our athletes would be in peril there, so that when it goes off without a hitch, or we do decide to send them DT can puff out his chest and act like he was the reason they’re all safely competing.

“Obama destroyed the sky! Terrible color, very ugly, “poor taste.” From this day forward the sky will be gold.”

The administration is lighting tire fires around the world and at home so it can dick-measure above everyone, and it’s somehow concerned with American safety at the Olympics?

Barack should have signed an order proclaiming the sky blue just to see if Don would undo it.

don’t forget undoing whatever the black guy did.

When I read Bixenspan’s first column, I was like “Cool, new steady feature on pro wrestling.”

I would expect them to play no music as a somber reflection on someone who might have suffered a traumatic brain injury, have had their season/career ended, or be paralyzed.

the pay-per-view broadcast was showing a pre-recorded segment

For the life of me I have never known how JR somehow gets away withnot having the reputation as the shameless carny he is.

I usually resort to the Bob Caudle voice when watching a WWE program: zzzzzzzzZzzzz

The “Owen” voice for kayfabe stuff is beyond terrible; shit, I don’t even like it when refs do the X sign for kayfabe injuries.
