The Way WWE is Using Ziggler and Reigns

> If Reigns is the guy, why are they booking Ziggler like he's Shawn Michaels in 95?

They're telling stories!  We're having fun Maggle!

Comments

  1. Are we suggesting that just because Reigns is "the guy", they can't give Ziggler a healthy upper-card push.

    ReplyDelete
  2. I have to agree, Ziggler is getting the Shawn Michaels in 1995/Austin in 1997/Eddie in 2003 push, and Reigns can't even beat the Big Show convincingly?


    Even Cena was beating Big Show convincingly in 2003 and WWE was still operating under the Randy Orton boner.

  3. Why? Because fuck you, that's why.

  4. not to hurt feelings but comparing 2014 ziggler to 1995 hbk is really the dumbest thing ive heard this year

    ReplyDelete
  5. If this all leads to a Reigns vs Ziggler feud in the same vein as Diesel vs Shawn, then I'm all for it.

    ReplyDelete
  6. I don't recall HBK trading the IC title with a guy the crowd doesn't give a shit about.

    ReplyDelete
  7. I think Ziggler is still missing that certain something to put him over the top, but a Lesnar/Ziggler match would be awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  8. HBK vacated IC titles to nobody gave a shit about.

    ReplyDelete
  9. HBK obviously winning the Rumble, 95% of his TV matches, a lengthy IC title run when it meant something and a clear progression to the World Title is comparable to Ziggler? No. Not impressed.

    Ziggler is the guy I'm most confused with currently, though. It seems
    like they're trying to make a big deal out of him since Series, but the
    results don't suggest that, nor does being the Jobber champ again. My
    cynical guess is they're keeping Ziggler as a possible replacement
    option incase Reigns flops, Bryan doesn't return, etc... and the face
    talent remains in the dire state it's been since summer.

    ReplyDelete
  10. If there was a second world title, Ziggler would be getting that title. Since there isn't, at least they are building up the IC belt.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I laughed hard at that answer. Touché Scott.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Given how this company has operated over the last couple of years....no. It's gotten to the point where we're legitimately surprised when WWE truly pushes more than one non-Cena person at a time.

    ReplyDelete
  13. The Ziggler push is intriguing to me because what's the endgame? It seems like it's set in stone that Reigns is getting the title at WM, whether from Lesnar or Cena, so does that leave whoever Reigns doesn't face as the one who'll face Ziggler? Or is Ziggler's push just the result of a diminished roster and he's just healthy at the right time?

    ReplyDelete
  14. He was set to job to Shane Douglas, so...

    ReplyDelete
  15. I'm not really having that much fun.

    We're all telling stories and having fun until Kane shows up.


    Then we're telling stories and having NO fun.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I don't recall HBK ever losing titles in the traditional sense.

    ReplyDelete
  18. The latest hum from the dirtsheet swamp is that Vince isn't fully sold on Reigns anymore and they're hedging their bets on the next "guy" by putting Ambrose and Ziggler in the running.

    Basically, if Lesnar leaves the Rumble as champ, Reigns is winning the Rumble. If Cena or Rollins do, Ziggler or Ambrose are the favorites to win the Rumble.

    I, personally, do not believe this for a second, but that's what's being said in hushed tones.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Reigns = Big Daddy Tool

    ReplyDelete
  20. Ever since the Vince/Austin podcast and the brass ring comments, it seems like that has become a realistic issue/storyline in the WWE. The superstar who shows the most heart since that podcast will be the new champ at Wrestlemania. It's as if the booking/storylines have been about who will replace Cena as the future face of the company. I hope it's Ziggler.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Way to hurt feelings.

    ReplyDelete
  22. i thought i was being nice

    ReplyDelete
  23. Interesting, because if Vince is being honest with himself, he'd have to put Reigns in the same category that he put Caesaro in, someone who just isn't quite clicking yet. Reigns has the look, no doubt, but his promos are 'meh' and he has yet to demonstrate that he can have a good 15 minute-plus match on his own. Plus, and this is purely my point of view, his pops are somewhat lukewarm, whereas Ziggler consistently gets big pops. Knowing how much Vince changes everything at the last minute these days, I wouldn't be surprised if the plans for Reigns are changing.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Is Daniel Bryan officially dead to wrestling?

    ReplyDelete
  25. That's what I'm wondering. When Austin got his neck injury at Summerslam he was still all over TV after that and got far more over than he was before. Why isn't Bryan still on in a similar way?

    ReplyDelete
  26. I think WWE should be booking forward without Daniel Bryan in mind because he's a wildcard right now as there's a chance he might not wrestle again and even if he does, it's not clear if he can still go like he use to.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Austin didn't get surgery after he got dropped on his head.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Cause he's small, funny looking, and keeps quiet.

    ReplyDelete
  29. He should have, but i'm glad he didn't

    ReplyDelete
  30. Yeah, but he couldn't wrestle. In fact, that's what set up the first stunner he gave to Vince.

    ReplyDelete
  31. They knew Austin would come back for Survivor Series, they just wanted him to rest. The timetable on Bryan is uncertain, or they're holding out for a surprise at the Rumble.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I guess that's true, it just seems odd that a guy who went over so big at WM 30 has been barely mentioned at all since he left. Hell, Reigns has had more promos about his surgery in the month after it than Bryan has had the entire year.

    ReplyDelete
  33. He lost his smile, isn't that enough?!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Well let's see, the house show report we got here said he was booked with Kane. He worked with Big Show on Raw. Not exactly getting to work with guys who are going to get Reigns to the next level as a worker.

    ReplyDelete
  35. this is going to sound crazy, and I really don't believe it, but maybe they are pushing Ziggle because they are going to take the IC title seriously like they did before the attitude era.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I knew they could. I just didn't think WWE thought they could.

    ReplyDelete
  37. True. I have to wonder if they're doing that on purpose to see if Reigns has the ability to put on good matches with stiffs.

    ReplyDelete
  38. So... You're saying Ziggler should have lost his smile and handed the title over?

    ReplyDelete
  39. but didn't he win it right back?

    ReplyDelete
  40. It seems that way. The match last night almost looked like he was being set up to look bad.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Is booking a term that should be left in the rear view mirror? These days it's a bunch of sitcom writers making the decisions, rather than traditional bookers going "here's your motivation, run with it for 3 months."

    ReplyDelete
  42. I'm baffled by the amount of marks around here. We're better than this guys.

    ReplyDelete
  43. The Heartbreak Kid lays down for absolutely no one! Not even his own smile!

    ReplyDelete
  44. What is Zigglers motivation from a character stand point? Not as a performer out there to steal the show, but Dolph Ziggler the character. What are his hopes and dreams? What does he want? Why does he want it?

    ReplyDelete
  45. I agree with you, but then again, there's only so many so times you can have Bryan say "I'll be back soon" before it gets nauseating.


    Also, Austin appeared once or twice when he went down for the surgery. He didn't give constant updates during that time.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I am so sick of any variant of "that's not who we are."

    Say something like "We SHOULD be better than this, guys" We ARE as we do.

    ReplyDelete
  47. If I was Dolph, I'd want to bang every diva in the locker room. With CM Punk out of the company there's less competition.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Dolph FUCKING Ziggler is not 1995 Shawn Michaels. Done. End of story. He isn't fighting Lesnar. He is just a guy that they don't really care about. Just like he has been for years. There is no magical Ziggler push coming. He was a prop lasting to the end in the authority deal. If anything he is Cena's friend with silly hair. Nothing more than that.

    ReplyDelete
  49. We should be better than thinking Dolph Ziggler is 1995 Shawn Michaels. We really really really should be better than that.

    ReplyDelete
  50. love the passion, dan

    ReplyDelete
  51. Or career ending back injuries.

    ReplyDelete
  52. 1995 Shawn Michaels was 1976 Harley Race!

    ReplyDelete
  53. YOU'RE INSANE!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Ah. I dig.

    I like it better when people compare him to 1990 Mr. Perfect. Mid-card guy, that puts on fun matches.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Is this Mobammed? Just go back to Tubisia! Anything is better than laying next to that beast of a woman. You DO NOT have to raise her daughters. The fucking electricity is cut. Just get out. It's a dead end.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Ziggler is more like 1-2-3 Kid... he wins, but he never wins a match that matters. He's nowhere near Shawn Michaels, unless we're talking "Jobbed out Rockers Version"

    ReplyDelete
  57. no, he's not even that

    ReplyDelete
  58. Then book Cena to win for his own stupid team

    ReplyDelete
  59. bret v kid is better than zigglers whole career

    ReplyDelete
  60. That is a very fair and accurate way to look at Dolph Ziggler. Nothing wrong with that. And I'm not out to get the guy. I enjoy his work. He just isn't 95 HBK and there is zero chance in hell they waste a Lesnar match on him. It's insanity to think otherwise.

    ReplyDelete
  61. The 1-2-3 Kid told Bret, with a tear in his eye, that was the best anyone ever made him look.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Would have made Cena look weak being the background guy to the whole Sting/HHH saga and Vince McMahon can't have that.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Cena would never need "The Vigilante" Sting's help to win. Then they would have booed for saving Cena. Dolph we the prop to make sure the Stong debut went smoothly. That's the only reason he was out there.

    ReplyDelete
  64. probably wasn't a smart move for Austin's health in retrospect, ya know

    ReplyDelete
  65. still zig has never been in a match like that

    ReplyDelete
  66. Or 27 marines.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Oh, Nicky!
    He's so fine!
    He's so fine he blows my mind!
    Hey Nicky!
    Hey Nicky!

    ReplyDelete
  68. "If you're not here to be the champion, you're in the wrong place." I'm totally screwing up that Austin quote, but I feel like that was the beginning of a lot of problems. The truth is, there's nothing wrong with being the mid card act that gets a great pop, or the tag team that has a comedy act, or the guy who revs up the crowd at the start of the show. I honestly don't get why everyone has to be seen as potential world champions. Of anything, it dilutes things, I think. Plus, isn't that why we had an IC title to begin with? For the Rudes and Perfects of the world?

    ReplyDelete
  69. Or Sunny! Oh wait...

    ReplyDelete
  70. "If you're not in the wrong place, you're the wrong champion." - screwing up Austin's quote even more.

    ReplyDelete
  71. That's logical, and for the record that's my email.

    Just seems like they're doing a better job booking Ziggler (clean win over Harper) then Reigns (can't even beat Big Show? C'mon Cena can pin him 10 times in 4 minutes). Though if Ziggler's end game is beating Rusev to unify the IC & US titles I'd be happy

    ReplyDelete
  72. Heh heh. I deserve that for not looking it up.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Or enough blow to kill John Leguizamo.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Because Austin could cut promos and had ridiculous charisma. I love Bryan, but he has neither.

    Also, we have no idea of his medical condition. Could be that Austin's allowed him to travel whereas travel could be detrimental to Bryan's.

    ReplyDelete
  75. To be clear, I can see Vince going lukewarm on anyone, but I don't see a WM31 that doesn't have Cena or Lesnar (or both) in the main event.

    ReplyDelete
  76. BTW, I would like to point out, Dan, that it's not the worst thing in the world to play a little "What if...?" I mean, at then people are having fun. I kinda wish I could believe that someone I like is going to win at Rumble, man.

    ReplyDelete
  77. It would be interesting to line up the tenth biggest star of 1984, 1994, 2004, and 2014 and see how they stack up against each other.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Ziggler is not beating Rusev. not even by count out. They wouldn't let him beat Big Show by count out either. He's less than a month removed from jobbing the IC title to Haroer to no fan reaction. He's just a mid card guy. Cena's buddy at best. Always a bridesmaid never a bride. His ceiling is sidekick to someone more popular.

    What is his gimmick? He likes to show off? Who cares. What does that even mean? That's not something people get behind for a big push. He's a small guy who doesn't understand that he shouldn't bump like crazy for everyone. He's fun to watch, but he's going nowhere.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Ziegler already beat Rusev by count out.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Vince gets 20 different ideas from Creative. He chooses one, then changes his mind about it 10x before the show. Every week. Every month. All year long. That's why.

    ReplyDelete
  81. The what if gane is one thing. Saying he's being pushed like 95 HBK is another. And sorry to shit in your stocking, but Ziggler is not winning the Rumble. They are not doing a title match at Wrestle FUCKING Mania with Dolph Ziggler. Please. Dolph Ziggler! I can't believe this is even discussion.

    ReplyDelete
  82. What was 1995 Shawn Michaels' gimmick?

    ReplyDelete
  83. Male stripper that liked to dance for free.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Around this same time last year everyone was saying that there was NO WAY Daniel Bryan was going to win in the main event of Wrestle FUCKING Mania.

    ReplyDelete
  85. My mistake. I guess he is getting the HBK push and winning the Rumble!

    I don't recall seeing it so I googled Dolph beats RUSEV. I got Dolph being squashed on Oct. 10th and Dolph getting squashed on Nov. 21st.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Ziggler winning the Rumble lol.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Think he meant at Survivor Series, which doesn't count.

    ReplyDelete
  88. He jobbed the IC title to Harper to help build up the Survivor Series main event. Demonstrating how the odds are in favor of The Authority. Ziggler won the title back at TLC and got the strongest reaction of the night.

    What's anyone's gimmick? What's a Seith Rollins? What's a John Cena? What's a Randy Orton? What's anything. Ziggler's been getting a strong reaction and he's got the best babyface comeback in the company presently...I don't know, gotta get my nut up for something otherwise why bother? It's shit entertainment targeting 1st graders, rednecks, and the mentally disabled.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Right before the Rumble people were clamoring for Bryan. I don't hear crowds clamoring for Ziggler. Bryan has been on a completely different level than Ziggler his entire career. Ziggler is a joke of a character and no one is putting him in the main event of Wrestlemania.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Remember, this time last year everyone kept saying that Bryan was only a placeholder feud (even Scott) for Orton before Batista or Cena came in to save the day.


    There was NO WAY Bryan was going on to Wrestlemania to win the title. Nope, not at all. And there was NO WAY he was going to beat all three members of Evolution in one night to win the title on top of that.


    Nope, not happening.

    ReplyDelete
  91. A joke of a character who singlehandedly almost beat the entire Authority team at Survivor Series.

    ReplyDelete
  92. It's a long shot, but who knows anymore. Ziggler might become the guy the fans rally to if they don't want Reigns.

    ReplyDelete
  93. SAT's, Special K, the list is pitiful.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Who has he trained? I would not be surprised he's a terrible trainer, I mean he was a pretty lousy wrestler.

    ReplyDelete
  95. Why are they watching It's A Wonderful Life in Spanish? They have English language channels in Miami.

    ReplyDelete
  96. So that "The Vigilante" Sting could come save him. That entire match was built around "The Vigilante" Sting's debut. No one even cares Dolph survived.

    ReplyDelete
  97. He moved out of the way when Rusev dived onto a table, got back into the ring before Rusev, and Rusev got counted out.


    Dolph Ziggler beat Rusev by count out.

    ReplyDelete
  98. 1996. House Arrest is one of the best movies of all time. JLH in Hawaii at the end is amazing

    ReplyDelete
  99. True, considering Ambrose lost all his heat.

    ReplyDelete
  100. 1 has been the best by miles. It hooked me instantly and I was through it in less than a day.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Damn, the Benoit chapter in Jericho's second book is fucking depressing

    ReplyDelete
  102. Cosby. I never heard of Joe Paterno.

    ReplyDelete
  103. Hardly in hushed tones, Meltzer was surprisingly open about how down the powers that be seem on Reigns.

    ReplyDelete
  104. Have you gotten to Home Alone 5: Holiday Heist yet?

    ReplyDelete
  105. Except the fans that are giving Dolph huge reactions, and the announcers who keep mentioning that Dolph is the guy who beat the Authority.


    Might help if you watch the show.

    ReplyDelete
  106. Any time Jericho mentions Benoit it's depressing. I just can't imagine one of my best friends turning into that. But if it happened I know it would rip me to shreds.

    ReplyDelete
  107. The movies ended after 2. 3, 4, 5 never happened

    ReplyDelete
  108. It's the NYOD, too busy choking out unarmed people committing misdemeanors

    ReplyDelete
  109. I just caught a clip of it on this dumb countdown show. It's a great match, you should check it out.

    ReplyDelete
  110. I get it, but Ziggler isn't anywhere near as over as Bryan was though.

    ReplyDelete
  111. I watched it several times before he died, I don't watch anything Eddie if I can avoid it

    ReplyDelete
  112. I don't get it.


    Do Americans wait to start cancer treatment?

    ReplyDelete
  113. NYC being a scary place to walk home alone at night? Thank God Guiliani came and cleaned up the city. Today he'd just go to Times Square and enjoy Bubba Gump Shrimp

    ReplyDelete
  114. I watched it with my dad and I devoured that shit. People go gaga for Season 4 but Season 1 all day.

    Just amazing twists and turns and DOAKES!

    ReplyDelete
  115. And how after every match he'd say "It's unfortunate that is' been erased from history and technically doesn't exist anymore"

    ReplyDelete
  116. that Motörhead song started playing in my head when she came out in that hula outfit

    ReplyDelete
  117. You would have to pay an incredible, life destroying amount of money for it here.

    ReplyDelete
  118. Hence, the premise of the show

    ReplyDelete
  119. Survivor Series matches don't count. There's been undefeated guys that actually got pinned during the elimination matches, but announcers chose to ignore it and still billed them as being undefeated.

    ReplyDelete
  120. My best friend murdered his wife and son who I knew very well and I watched as he became a vilified monster while I knew the person I knew and loved would be lost forever.

    ReplyDelete
  121. If Reigns is actually not gonna be the guy to win the rumble and Brock wins then its going to be Orton. Not Dolph. Not Bryan. Randy Orton

    ReplyDelete
  122. And Benoit was someone Jericho idolized, he patterned some of his style.

    ReplyDelete
  123. Undertaker was only 26 when he beat Hogan in 91. Earthquake was 27 when he faced Hogan in 1990. Both those guys looked a lot older.

    ReplyDelete
  124. Cena vs Orton,one more timeDecember 23, 2014 at 8:31 PM

    I honestly believe the IC title has no chance of rehabilitation now.

    ReplyDelete
  125. The first time I read that I thought it was an unnecessary jab at WWE erasing Benoit but then I just realized that he was just truly sad that these memories were erased and replaced with an awful final memory.

    ReplyDelete
  126. Still better than Reigns.

    ReplyDelete
  127. MikeyMike, JuggernautDecember 23, 2014 at 8:31 PM

    Also, his description of Benoit after Eddies death. A completely lost man.

    ReplyDelete
  128. The pigeon lady is fucking creepy. Like, what the fuck. She probably has all kinds of diseases. The old man should've shown up in NYC and kicked some ass.

    ReplyDelete
  129. High School chemistry teacher gets cancer... in order to pay for his treatment and l provide for his family he starts cooking and selling crystal meth. If the show happens in Igloo country it ends mid way through episode 1.

    ReplyDelete
  130. Succinct rueage!

    ReplyDelete
  131. But he's over enough.


    Reigns was getting Daniel Bryan chants during his match.

    ReplyDelete
  132. bigger copier of the original: home alone 2 or hangover 2?

    ReplyDelete
  133. My mom grew up in 60-80s NYC and said the place was an absolute shithole. Must've been like Newark and Chicago in one black hole of awfulness, and with cocaine to boot.

    ReplyDelete
  134. John Morrison is the #4 high flyer.

    ReplyDelete
  135. Even teachers wouldn't have coverage or something?

    ReplyDelete
  136. god no! Orton is much, much worse...the same bland guy wrestling the same bland match cutting the same bland promo, taking 5 years between each move......yeah, I'll take whatever Reigns is

    ReplyDelete
  137. But he still beat him by count out, which Danimal said would never happen.

    ReplyDelete
  138. A sensational show it was!

    ReplyDelete
  139. Not cocaine. Crack.

    ReplyDelete
  140. No. No one has default, unpaid coverage except the very poor and very elderly and even those options suck and wouldn't be enough to cover this kind of treatment.

    ReplyDelete
  141. My parents used to have take the car radio with them

    ReplyDelete
  142. Well, cocaine in the rich places and crack in the ghetto.

  145. The pigeon lady's WAHHHH I HAVE NO FRIENDS speech. No shit sherlock....you walk around with fucking pigeons.

    ReplyDelete
  146. The 80's crack scourge is the scariest craziest stuff I've ever read about. NYC seemed horrific in those days.

    ReplyDelete
  147. Arresting story, bro.

    ReplyDelete
  148. If you could spend the holidays with one fellow commentator here, who would it be?

    My pick is Jobber123 because that black man knows soul food, lemme tell ya...

    ReplyDelete
  149. It is at least a fresh match I'm not saying I agree with it I just see Vince getting bored with reigns quick leading to Orton

    ReplyDelete
  150. They have made mention of "The Vigilante" Sting being the only reason he won. He was just Cena's buddy the next night in a tag match. You should watch the show of you ever believe Dolph is getting a big push.

    ReplyDelete
  151. JoMo got really great especially in 2009 through his departure.

    ReplyDelete
  152. 70s NYC was really bad according to a few friends of mine. early 90s times square was not a tourist repeller not attraction

    ReplyDelete
  153. The neighborhoods were just annihilated by that shit. I mean at least it gave us a great generation of rapper but holy hell was it awful.

    ReplyDelete
  154. Even basic stuff costs a fortune here. If you break a finger or something you are likley looking at a couple grand to fix it.

    ReplyDelete
  155. I would love to have DBSM's job.

    ReplyDelete
  156. Rusev has been beaten before by DQ and Countout and by Jack Swagger of all people, so it's not outside the realm of possibility for Rusev to lose to Dolph by countout or whatever, but Dolph is not going to be the guy who first pins him.

    ReplyDelete
  157. That's a good question. I'd say Art Vandelay. That guy is a hell of a commenter....

    ReplyDelete
  158. I dont think his name is a problem anymore. Im to used to it. I remember first hearing the name "triple h" and thinking that was the dumbest fucking name in the world.Taz is another one. But months turned into years and it stuck. Of course there are exceptions (about a thousand of them) like GI Bro and Bastion Booger, but Ziggler im to used to now.

    ReplyDelete
  159. Yeah he sucks. Never saw the big deal about him

    ReplyDelete
  160. Much like smoking a cigarette on a plane with a big titted stew, late 70's Times Square is a place I wish I could've experience at least once

    ReplyDelete
  161. How do people afford it though? You guys pay less in taxes, but even that can't make up for it.


    Like how does Joe Average, not broke, but not particularly well off either afford to get his broken arm set? You can't walk off a broken arm for the most part.

    ReplyDelete
  162. None of use are going to put over someone else on that level.

    ReplyDelete
  163. Haha that kid is in the hospital on Christmas Eve....


    Yes, I'm going to hell

    ReplyDelete
  164. He just beat Harper to probably the largest reaction of the entire show.

    ReplyDelete
  165. Oh come on...it's xmas time!

    ReplyDelete
  166. Oh yea, the shit's about to go down/Christmas music when Kevin gets ready for his plan is amazing. It's like the Rocky training montage

    ReplyDelete
  167. There are a few exceptions to the rule. But, the wrestler makes the name. The name does not make the wrestler.

    ReplyDelete
  168. It is the wrestling business and weird shit happens all the time, but I wouldn't hold your breath on a mega Ziggler push coming soon.

    ReplyDelete
  169. I'll be the bigger man. I'll put Marv over. I'd love to just sit and riff on Sunny and Parks all day.

  170. On what Bundy did between 1989 and 1994: “I did a computer commercial in late 87. It ran for two years. For three years, I worked for the computer company. The other years I bought a bar – that didn’t work out. I spent a lot of money. I gambled a lot. I did a computer commercial. It was a Dutch company called BenDex. It was a Dutch company that did $6 billion in sales. I do the commercial. All of a sudden, I got full page ads in USA Today, Time, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated. I hoped Vince wouldn’t find out about it. Needless to say, Vince found out about it big time. Ever since that day, and I’ve been told this and never revealed this, ‘that was the kiss of death to your career’. I say ‘To hell with Vince McMahon’…Vince is such a control freak: the idea of one of his pieces of property being used by somebody else – it was just death to him. He couldn’t stand it.”

  171. If I had to pick Art or Jobber share my interests more than anyone else. Caliber for the case study, and Cult to annoy on purpose.

  172. Why didn't Kevin just call the cops and say hey, at midnight, these guys are robbing the toy store

    I speak to parallax frequently off this site quite frequently so I'll go with him based on the fact I like him better than anyone else on this site and I could have normal conversations with him without it being awkward.

  175. I'm retroactively bummed that WWE didn't do Miz/Morrison for the WWE Title at the Rumble 2011. Actually put Miz over and get a great match. Those two had chemistry.

  176. Anytime I imagine meeting some I feel like it would instantly turn into an uncomfortable thing where we ONLY talk about the shit we've already talked about lol

  177. See Hennig had more competition in his day. The 80's/90's were bursting with GREAT talent. Mr. Perfect is easily better than every single person who wrestled on Raw yesterday.



    And look, I know Reigns is winning the Rumble. I'm not dumb. But like I said, if I can't even find something somewhat tangible to cling to, then that means the roster officially sucks and I have no reason to watch. If there's a glimmer of hope I can enjoy. Ya dig?
