Not saying he should go the kevin owens route, but at least have something a little more flattering

Long tights and a singlet.

According to the Observer, Sheamus is currently dealing with a potential career ending injury.

Here's the debut episode of Prime Time Wrestling from January 1985 with original hosts Jesse Ventura and Jack Reynolds who was AWFUL. Gorilla would replace Reynolds in August.

I have the entire 1985 set of Prime Time Wrestling shows in my collection. I don't even think the Network has 1985 up last time I checked.

He would pretty much have to wrestle in a track suit.

Hoodie and sweat pants

The lesson here? Don't team with Cesaro...

Still too soon Rowdy, Still too soon.

Thinking about Tyson, makes me think about Old Wayne...He still kicking btw?

The character ended up regaining the ability to walk, and was primarily used as a manager, and a rare tag team appearance. Went by the "Attila" moniker when he was last used, the manager of the Barbarian Nation that consisted of Visigoth, Ostragoth, and Hun.

On the bright side, if Sheamus has to retire, they could always do a Kings of Wrestling reunion.

Gallows and Anderson on Stonecold podcast.

Story of Festus' creation is amazing.

Vince telling Gallows what he wants the face to be, then the two of them going back and forth making stupid vacant faces to eachother and drooling on themselves trying to get it right.

Kevin Nash had knee surgery and decided to post the pic of his knee..its..what you'd expect it to look like.

Did they do their Stone Cold impersonation?

hey whatever works

Those original Wyatt promos were fucking great. What happened?

Vince and WWE's booking took its toll. They thought because they had the next Undertaker in their hands, they didn't need to take care of Bray's character and its shown the past several years.

That's so stupid though, because part of thevreason taker got over in the first pkace, was that he ws heavily protected, and rarely ever lost.

Hey but Road Dogg said winning and losing doesnt matter.

Generally speaking it probably doesn't matter. However, when you lose so much that's all people can remember, you kinda dun fucked up lol

If the outcomes of matches don't matter then why watch a show centered around matches?

I'm not a big fan of Sheamus, but that sucks.

I don't really mind the Kassius Ohno attire. I know it is regarded as "horrible," but for what they're going for I don't hate it. I'm kind of more bothered when a guy is obviously covering up fat. Owens looks way more insecure to me than Ohno. But I guess it doesn't really fit a "main eventer." That's not what Ohno is supposed to be though. I dunno, just don't hate it for him.

That's exactly the point. "See some actual progression." That's the problem with the cruisers. It's lower-card stuff. Always has been to that company and always will be.

The CWC was a hot button. It was a novel concept and everything had stakes. It was produced to feel different and sporty. That should have been it. Take the guys that work well and put them in NXT or on the main roster and don't label them as "small." In modern WWE where half the roster is small, you don't need to make them comparatively even smaller next to the small guys.

Then you can run a CWC 2 and try and get it on the USA Network or something. There's less commitment so people might give it a shot. Then you take the talent that work from that and rinse, wash, repeat.

When you have guys on the roster who are small enough for the division, but are "above" it (Finn Balor), how are people supposed to take the belt seriously? It's Velocity all over again. Doesn't matter if they go faster or harder or longer. It's not important and everybody knows it's not important. Drew Gulak can be as entertaining as he wants, if he's not being entertaining with the guys who matter, it doesn't matter.

That being said, if they are going "all-in" on 205 Live, then moving it away from the other shows is probably the best thing for all involved. That way at least the top guys on the "brand" can be booked to not look like geeks. They might even move Finn Balor there and have him feud with Hideo Itami over the belt. When you move up Oney Lorcan, Danny Burch, Johnny Gargano (I cringe about that one), and maybe even move over Chad Gable from SmackDown, you have a very decent little roster developing.

But I see it turning into a half-way house between NXT and the main roster very quickly.

Rumor going around the net involves Cena's relationship with Nikki Bella is starting to cause him serious money problems and a possible reason why he got in trouble with Ford for selling a car given to him as part of a sponsorship deal.

Happy Rusev Day, Maschka!

So stop buying her shit. Jesus.

If Cena isn't making money, how is anyone?

He's making it. Nikki is spending.

That and I'd assume he never cut back on his own expensive hobbies over the years and its now coming back to haunt him.

Seems the upcoming wedding is going to devastate him even more since supposedly he doesn't have enough cash on hand for their current plans.

Traditionally, the wedding should be on Nikki's dad.

He did mention on Unfiltered in December of 2015 (don't know why I watched that today) that he goes to dinner with Nikki ever single night. He could for sure cut back on some things.

Is he their dad for real??? I was wondering why he was sitting at the table during that clip of Total Bellas on Unfiltered.

He married their mom..... not biological father, but I think biological dad not in the picture

Ah, that makes a little more sense. Pretty funny to think about as I was just watching the Punk/Bryan match from Over the Limit 2012 yesterday, and the main event was John Cena v. Johnny Ace. Ridiculous that closed the show.

More ridiculous that that was the match they followed up John Cena beating Brock Lesnar with. That match was epic and turned a smark crowd onto Cena's side. How the fuck did they think having him job to John Laurinaitis was the logical next step?

Ugh, I'm starting to get pissed just thinking about wrestling booking from five years ago. Am I mental?

As a 90's all japan fan, I remember being hopeful that he would surprise everyone and hit Cena with an Ace Crusher.

But it was John Cena beating up an old man for 15 minutes.

What a hero..

no

I think the evil GM kinda jumped the shark with People Power.

It's OK, sooth your mind by thinking about the excellent booking they have today.

...Wait

Lol I loved Johnny Ace as Raw GM. I thought he was hilarious.

Evil authority figure jumped the shark in 2001 during the invasion angle. Yet... here we are.

Need a heel authority figure that is certifiably insane. Like putting The Joker in charge of Arkham.

Broken Stephanie McMahon

Nah, don't need to go Broken, just take another ex-TNA talent gimmick.

Was he even a heel?

I don't know, but he sure as hell could be.

John Cena fallen on hard times

I thought Eric Bischoff was great as a heel authority figure on Raw. He consistently got heat, got the faces who opposed him more over, and he was willing to play the fool when the situation called for it.

Plus he was the GM for three and a half years from mid 2002-late 2005. Once he left, it just became a revolving door of people trying to do the same thing.

Best Heel Authority figures NOT named Vince McMahon were Bischoff and William Regal.

lolllllllllllllll Jinder jobbed to Triple H in India

Wade Barrett on the reason WWE ended the Bad News Barrett Gimmick: “I was specifically told the reason I wasn’t allowed to say my catchphrase ‘I’m afraid I’ve got some bad news’ anymore was that it was getting a positive response and they wanted me to be a heel. I personally didn’t agree with that philosophy. I felt ‘Look, if they are going to cheer for me, they like this, let’s go with it. I’ve never been a babyface before, let’s go with it.’

Not at all. I was actually watching.

That's unfortunate. Got his legs cut out for getting over.

gtfoh really?!?!

just checked the results. mehhhhh. at least he kicked out of a pedigree.

HHH needed his heat back after being beat by Reigns in Abu Dhabi, duh.

He joined with Seth and Roman in beating up heels after the match too.

I'm not going to have to watch those matches, right?

Can't see why. Tribute to the Troops spoilers sound worse, just because JBL was there.

When you can only afford one BMW

That's hard times, baby!

I wish we had a place to settle beefs, where legendary warriors once dueled each other.

You mean kind of like Dario Cueto?

Does he go insane in later seasons? I'm only on the first.

He's pretty much insane the whole time, but they show him drinking/doing drugs and he gets crazier.

That's a really creepy thumbnail. Kids in India paying homage to McMahon

Triple H beating Jinder Mahal is not surprising.

not at all really

Had a weird thought: Do you think Triple H will go "full heel" at some point on NXT and just put himself over everyone? If so, will the Full Sail crowd still cheer?

Would do some serious damage to the brand if it ever happened. A potential RAW/WWE vs NXT feud could probably work on paper but not with WWE's current booking habits nor them being very careful about the amount of damage done to NXT.

Right now Regal is the perfect authority figure for NXT and the WWE in general. He's not overbearing like Steph, nor power hungry like Shane has shown at times, nor getting himself into personal vendettas or being a push-over like the other GMs.

Paige interview w/ Lilian Garcia:

https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCirc...llian_garcias/

Oh yeah, it would be a horrendous idea for everyone except Trips. Imagining him just dishing out pedigrees left and right while the crowd is stunned (then pops because Full Sail) was funny.

WWE vs NXT would still be Triple H wins lol

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/aSNl2iXS4nc" frameborder="0" gesture="media" allow="encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Weird to see Steiner wearing elbow pads pulled up to his biceps to try and hide the fact he's lost a shitload of muscle mass.

Even the inverse of Triple H defending the WWE against a heel NXT roster would also be really terrible.

WWE's done a similar idea in the past with mixed results. Cena & Orton vs RAW brand was pretty terrible while Austin vs The Alliance was pretty great as a moment.

Well yeah, if NXT wins it makes "the big leagues" look bad. It could have potential if the brands were seen as equal.

But they can't even do that with RAW/SD.

Now that's what they call Roman.

Not to jinx it but... We haven't had a major dead wrestler in a while have we?

Seems like things are quieter on the dead wrestler front than usual recently.

All saving themselves for 2018.

I dunno, Flair came pretty damn close.

Who was the last major one, Heenan?

I think so. And then before him... I don't even remember.

Latter half of the year was really lean on major deaths compared to the first couple of months.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_i...estling#Deaths

I thought that was just Kane Knight.

The BIG DOG Roman Reigns has passed away. Diagnosis: Overdosed on Life.

Didn't he return for 2 weeks earlier this year?
