It's a Southern Protestant church thing. People in the same congregation call each other Brother or Sister followed by their first names. I assume they do it up north too, but it sounds better with a Southern accent. That shit would be mad annoying in a Boston accent.

She used to have an orange tan maybe it's that?

Being a new guy in NJPW he hasnt really had a lot of success other than being with Bullet Club. Mostly wrestles in 6 and 8 man tags and takes the fall. Worked a singles match with Micheal Elgin recently. Got his first singles win on April 2nd against Hirai Kawato.

Here's the Elgin match I guess it was his first singles match.

Cody's put on some size. Looks like much more of a bruiser. Good solid hard hitting big man much albeit a bit clunky at times. Definitely MUCH improved, has way more of a presence about him. I like him.

2nd Gen Kliq :) He will be fine.

Add in that he's a former army man who had an active deployment and Vince will jizz himself once he's made aware of him.

is the frowny face because you don't like Cody?

Embarrassed. Due to the thought of Vince jizz.

figured you'd be desensitized to vince cum by now. It's what he does.

"Kurt Angle is not moving! He is down and ou- OH MY GOD HE JUST BOUNCED HIMSELF TO LAND STANDING ON TOP OF THE CAGE!! WHERE IS HE GETTING THIS?!"-"This is so bizarre!"

a man in his mid-40s should not be taking fucking moonsaults from the top of a cage. especially not when everybody knows the move is not going to connect.

How do you know he did a moonsault after? Maybe he just climbed out after he jumped up there.

Looks like he might have had a little too much to drink

On Apollo Crews: I like him better on RAW than in NXT. He's a good enough talent to be able to sponge on the road. Give him shorter stuff and he can develop that personality over time. He's good in small amounts, and that's all they will probably give him. Have him win, and win, and win, and win. Not everything needs to be an angle. Just let him build momentum until he finally loses.

To be honest, and I know this won't be met with universal agreement, I think he will really develop into something as a heel. His over-the-top "I'm so happy to be here, listen to my life story, I'm born to be a champion" thing is so...forced. Who doesn't want to be a champion in WWE? There's some egocentric about it that I can see working into Rocky Maivia-style heat in time. His flips and shit could easily be presented as too "show-boaty" and disrespectful to his opponenets. Put him in $500 plain shirts he bought personally off a rap mega-star and he's an instant heel.

Jojo's body is out of this world. They need to give her some sort of personality on TV. I'd be fine with her a cheerleader for The New Day, not that they need her though.

Rusev is a great man. Seriously think he has got major babyface potential down the line.

On Sister Abigail: I thought it was explained in early NXT promos that Sister Abigail was some sort of nun? She found him and nursed him back to health and taught him the true way of the world. I always imagined her that way anyway.

But that being said, I think it is also NXT canon that Bray Wyatt confessed to killing his own father by trapping him on a burning boat, so there's that too...

The Usos are facing Anderson & Gallows on RAW tomorrow night. Am I the only one who hopes that this a complete and utter squash match? Something competitive won't do anything for the mystique of the newcomers. Let them dominate The Usos here.

And they have to turn on AJ Styles at Payback, don't they? They just have to.

Ambrose beats Jericho, Reigns beats Styles, The Club attacks Styles, AJ calls in Finn Balor to help at Extreme Rules. Jericho goes on to bitch about how he's the greatest IC Champion of all-time and challenges Cesaro. Ambrose is confused as Reigns selling out, which leads to him being put into the title picture after cutting some promos on how Reigns' turn has ripped his heart out. Here is my hopeful Extreme Rules card:

* Roman Reigns vs. Dean Ambrose for the WWE World Title (Extreme Rules?)
* The Roman Empire vs. AJ Styles & Finn Balor
* Cesaro vs. Chris Jericho for the Intercontinental Title
* Charlotte vs. Becky Lynch (vs. Sasha Banks?) in a Ladder Match for the Women's Title
* The New Day vs. Enzo & Cass for the Tag Team Titles

And I've got a feeling there might be some variation on Shane McMahon vs. Triple H.

where is RAW tomorrow? Hopefully in front of a smarter crowd. Anderson and Gallows need it.

It's in Hartford, Connecticut.

What's the bet we get an Authority/Shane segment? I'm happy for them to do a brand split at this point in time. I'll also lol if Triple H adds himself to the Roman Reigns/AJ Styles match. It actually wouldn't suck, although I think the match is doing fine.

I love Cesaro and Jericho and Ambrose, but they really need to do something to get me there for their upcoming matches. Jericho needs to really cut that hook promo. Why does he really hate Ambrose? The Miz needs to slow the comedy down and really dress down Cesaro to push the fans behind him more.

Half the card is really well built though.

Was considering going to this at the last minute. But decided against it.

What kind of crowd do we usually get in Hartford?

I don't know them to be particularly rowdy, and they've probably got a lot of "homestate" pride in the product. I imagine it might be quite marky. But maybe not.

I think it will be good for Anderson & Gallows get some genuine heat, to be honest.

Observer and/or Jack Swagger recently debunked rumors of Swagger leaving the WWE very soon.

Apparently a tweet he sent during the European tour ended up being the source of confusion with people implying the "last day" meant his last day for the company. Instead he only meant it as the last day of the tour for him since RAW is back in the US this week.

Been rumored for a while his time in the WWE is coming close to an end or whenever rumors of a roster spring cleaning pops up.

There is a good case to letting Swagger go. As the Squared Circle Gazette guys said on their podcast (I think it was John G. Chase), having him as a former World Heavyweight Champion detracts from the prestige of the top title. I wish they'd use Swagger better, but they seem to view him as enhancement. There are probably worse jobs in the world.

I'd still be on board for a Swagger Wyatt Family run. Bray could "save" him from a crumbling career and all the expectations of being such a blue chip athlete. Swagger & Harper as the primary team of The Family would be pretty great. Swagger has this way of enhancing all the partners he is with (Ziggler, Cesaro, etc.). Either that or a stint in NXT where he's the big dawg stepping down to try and rediscover his killer instinct could be cool. Joe vs. Swagger is far from the worst match they could do. Swagger vs. Balor has some charm to it too.

Hugo Savinovich is a boss. Just listened to him on MVP's podcast, and he seems like such a cool guy with a lot of knowledge about the business. The tour he just put on in Chile sounds pretty amazing. Would love to see him get a bit of traction and get something on the TV here with Rey Mysterio, MVP, Carlito, Bobby Lashley, Matt Hardy, Santana Garrett, Taya, Johnny Mundo, Chris Masters, Pentagon, Jr., Drago, etc.

I could get on board with Joe vs Swagger on NXT for sure.

Would you like to see the Zeb Colter pairing re-visited, or is that done and dusted now?

MVP gonna be at local rassling show I am covering on Friday....
