Yep, losing non-title matches is the lazy way to make contenders. Harper and Dolph lost all the time as champion too. Surprised Sin Cara isn't in the mix either he beat Bad News as soon as he got the belt.

Would like to see Roman use his hair when it was like this.

I still think it's funny/unfortunate that they were talking more about Cesaro's shit gimmick then they cared for the match with the deadlift gutwrench suplex. Then they discussed more on shit gimmick and then they're fully invested in the match come Swiss Death.

"Fist me."

A new fragrance from Roman Reigns.

CNN headline news keeps mentioning Undertaker as the #1 Facebook trend for being called out by the new face of fear Bray Wyatt and having a match at WM...but..they use a picture of Taker from his American Badass Biker gimmick.

It actually don't matter to me since i like everyone in the match.

Just seems like it will be Barrett the way things are going.

So, question for all y'all out there that don't have cable/satellite. I'm was thinking about getting Hulu or some other service like it, but I was curious if they actually show RAW and Smackdown on those kinds of things. Anyone know?

what happened to Adam Rose.. was he permanently "bumped" to Main Event, I don't watch that show, I only know it exists because they taped it when I went to smackDOWN... has the story progressed at all since he beat the shit out of the bunny

what happened to Goldust.. fought Stardust, and then cost him a match on RAW... and then disappeared.

Thanks to Dev Simar for sending word that The Tribune News Service in Punjab, India has an article in today's newspaper about former WWE Superstar The Great Khali. The article notes that Khali has been recovering from surgery on his right leg. Khali was in Chandigarh this week to meet with the Punjab Armed Police officials of the 82nd battalion.

Khali encouraged young police recruits to get into sports and live a healthy lifestyle. He also invited them to join his wrestling academy in Jalandhar, where they will offer free training to recruits. He's also opening another school in the Amin village near Kurukshetra along with international volleyball star Balwan Singh and noted that WWE has asked him to refer three talents per year from his academies.

Khali also promised to people in attendance that he will return to WWE's WrestleMania and one day defeat The Undertaker. Khali told people at the event that he is healthy enough to get back in a WWE ring and will do so.

WWE sent out a "WWE Fan Council" survey about NXT to select members of their mailing list. From the nature of the questions, it seems like they're trying to gauge interest in NXT running shows outside of Florida with questions ranging from the best ticket prices to whether or not fans would travel, how much NXT merchandise the NXT fans are willing to buy (both online and at shows), which indies they follow (if any), and what non-WWE wrestlers they'd like to see in NXT, with a focus on international talent. This should ramp up all of the talk from the last week about whether or not NXT is even a developmental promotion anymore.

Quote:

It’s possible that some of the writers in WWE believe that The Black Scorpion was one of Sting’s early gimmicks, as most of the WWE writers aren’t exactly wrestling historians. Furthermore, WWE is afraid to have Sting talk in front of the live audience because they believe that his promo skills are as bad as they were when he first burst onto the scene in WCW. However, if you followed Sting’s run in TNA over the last several years, you know that he’s not only become a great promo, but that he’s probably a better promo than the majority of the WWE roster.

For some reference, Scott Hall gave permission for BC to use the gesture and act as an nWo-like stable when Karl Anderson asked for official approval.

Some other sheet news include:

JR clarifying his stance on the Demott controversy stressing more on how he's completely against the abuse that occurred while trying to make a better comparison about generational differences.

Was mentioned in the RAW thread but Wiz Khalifa confirmed he was high during the show last night.
For the past couple of months, AV Club has been doing an experiment of reviewing RAWs from the perspective of a sitcom reviewer and weren't joking about not having enough enthusiasm to continue past Mania. Yesterday's show got rated the worst and blasted the WWE for all the implied racist stuff that went on last night. Still has Cena as the worst character written on the show overall.

You can trademark hand gestures?

Who owns the bird?

The Word

I'm not sure who owns the bird, but the bird is the word. That is all.

That is cool.

So...are we getting Cesaro/Kidd vs. The Usos vs. The New Day vs. Los Matadores on the pre-show?

ugh who cares

whole event is boring me to death

Probably. Tag title match involving The Usos, Los Matadores and Tyson Kidd and/or Cesaro seems to be WWE's preferred pre-show formula. If they do it this year, it'll be the 3rd time in 4 years that's been the case.

SOME ONE MUST WIN!

I'm expecting the belt and ladders to just vanish and everyone loses.

Would be a perfect time to bring back the "who raised the briefcase" mystery as a way to get rid of the IC belt. Maybe even the ladders as well so all that's left is the comically small one and comically large one for future matches.

From Reddit about what the mysterious talent-only meeting the WWE had last night was about.

Quote:

Just listened to the latest Wrestling Observer Radio. According to Dave the gist of the meeting was to tell the talent that if they had a problem (as in the problems that were had with Bill Demott) to come to management and let them know first. Bryan Alvarez remarked sarcastically that in the past "it did wonders for a lot of people." Dave also talks about how even though Demott is gone, racism and prejudice will still be part of the business because that's the mentality of those in charge.

I'm not trying to bitch for the sake of bitching, but I really can't see this WrestleMania going well. All the performances will be "solid," but the emotional storytelling just isn't there. No one really feels like they are in the right place either. It's all really odd. Gusy are either too low or too high on the card. The thing I am most interested in is the crowd reaction.

How do they acquire a talent as recognized and "big" as Sting and fuck stupid things up such as this?

I think Wade Boggs invented the Wolfpac hand gesture.

What exactly do they mean by "Black Scorpion Sting"? The promo package on Raw was pretty much what I expected from "Crow" Sting. Are we just making a big deal out of misplaced terminology?

The Black Scorpion.

They bring The Ascension up, bury them on commentary, have some old-timers get one over on them, beat the NAO at the Rumble, have PTP get back together and hand The Ascension their first loss...then establish a Tag Team Title match to feature Los Matadores and New Day, whilst PTP (and presumably The Ascension) go into the Battle Royal!?

That's just sad. Sting could had done that promo 10 times better. These writers have one of if not the best writing job in the world and they don't have 1 clue about the product they write about.
