See I was thinking that too. I'm convinced of it.

But yeah, the problem defintiely isn't the way they write the shows or the direction of the company. That can't be it. I always say it. They will blame other outside factors such as competing shows, TiVo and available On Demand viewing rather than actually looking at their shows. On Raw they have a...

What an announcing team. This sounds incredible and I am excited.

Edge's 3:16 moment would arguably be his shock cash in. Once the ratings spiked after that, WWE threw full force behind Edge and never stopped.

A feud for the sake of having their mystical guy Bray Wyatt chat his usual boring business, and then Finn Balor uses the Demon King persona to overcome it. Calling it. Right. Which is sad when you realize that if they had spent some time fleshing out what Balor's "demon" part means- is it...

The Chris Jericho hand working also felt very heelish to me and a manner of sympathy was felt for Owens, because he was just following the rules of the match and got a part of his body on the rope to break the submission. It built up to a good finish, but it was sort of ruined because he supposedly ...

Val's gimmick isn't stupid. It's definitely cartoonish, but it's not stupid. Dillinger just says "I'm the perfect ten." That all he does. Val's gimmick has things you can do with it. I suppose you have a point. Dillinger needs to tell us why he's the perfect ten. Or at least show us. Beca...

Yup. Satan will welcome you with open arms.

I wonder where they'll try the UK Experiment next. The UK championship tournament was a huge success and they're putting together a U.K. Show for the Network, where could they go next. Germany I suppose. I would have actually preferred them to bring back the European Championship and have a European...

Source: PWInsider Al Bastaki, a professional magician, and Mamo, a basketball star , bring more than 15 combined years of television to “WWE Wal3ooha.” The show is produced from the OSN Studios in Dubai That is one odd combination of people. Very odd. Neither with any Wrestling background. Odd.

But the difference between Dillinger and guys like Val and Holly is that Dillinger has a stupid gimmick which the crowd has decided to use to annoy the f*ck out of every referee (and many fans) from now until eternity. Val Venis's gimmick was properly stupid. But he still got over. Dillinger's gimm...

I've come to the conclusion that a tagline can only bring down a PPV name (the worst examples were probably Cornette's stuff in ROH). This is true. Tag lines do kill it. "In your house: Over the Edge" Over The Edge of what? Doesn't even make sense. That one doesn't bug me so much. "O...

Totally agree with everything you said. Yeah, I don't know who is writing this stable. But it's so far so good. I would fear for it if it goes to the main roster though, because the person/people leading it backstage at the moment is clearly the right person/people to write for it full stop and it ...

So, I've been speaking to people about Tye Dillinger. Many people are very down on him and don't think he's much. But as people who know me know. I love a midcarder (Val Venis and Hardcore Holly still remain two of my favourite wrestlers of all time!) But the difference between Dillinger and guys l...

SAnitY was something I was enjoying at first, but do you know what? It's growing on me. It's different. It's a different kind of Stable to what we've seen before. Nothing from their entrance music, to anything they do really makes sense, but that's the point and it's been done brilliantly up to thi...

Somewhat off topic, but speaking of managers... I've read a rumor about Heyman joining up with Asuka when she arrives on the main roster. That would be different, but whilst he's managing Brock I don't think he'll manage anyone else. But if Brock were to go away for an extended period and Asuka sti...

I've been racking my brain for something that must have come close. But nothing does. Roadblock: End of the Line is the closest one that comes to my mind, and only because they added that stupid second part. I've come to the conclusion that a tagline can only bring down a PPV name (the worst exampl...
