  1. The GOAT

    So, Brock's Rumored Opponent For Mania Has Been Revealed, And It Is...

    According to The Observer and PWinsider, this is all just rumors and isn't being seriously discussed by management at the moment, after all. Shame.
  2. The GOAT

    Anyone take the ratings survey?

    Not even gonna bother. WCW conducted one of these type of surveys back in 2000 when the company was going downhill (and don't get me wrong, WWE is nowhere NEAR the low point that WCW was at that time, but still) and their reactions to the results was that they basically ignored what the people...

    This Week’s Low WWE Raw Rating Compared to the Fall of 1997

    It's unfortunate, but ratings are only one metric of popularity (and not even as important of one as they were fifteen, twenty years ago) and until you start hitting Vince where it hurts (i.e. his pockets) and affecting his bottom line, shit likely will never change.

    So, Brock's Rumored Opponent For Mania Has Been Revealed, And It Is...

    lol Like who? Like I briefly went over in my last post, there aren't really many options for who Brock could face at Mania. Outside of Brock/Reigns II, no other match makes more immediate sense than the others for Lesnar to jump into. His beef with Cena is done, his beef with Rollins is done...

    So, Brock's Rumored Opponent For Mania Has Been Revealed, And It Is...

    Nobody said Owens would win. Getting a "huge rub" just means you get booked in a position where you come out looking like a bigger star than you were before (in this case, being in a big marquee match with the strongest booked superstar on the roster and maybe doing some damage to him.) That...

    Rate RAW November 30th, 2015

    Sheamus is not worthy of working a Wrestlemania program with Stone GOAT Steve Austin... Especially via lame-ass attempt at mimicking the best selling wrestling t-shirt of all time.

    So, Brock's Rumored Opponent For Mania Has Been Revealed, And It Is...

    Just like so many of us wanted months ago. Of course, this is still only a rumor at this time, so take it with a grain of salt before getting your hopes up. 411MANIA | Is WWE Considering Kevin Owens vs. Brock Lesnar For WrestleMania? Given that Minnesota is all but a lock for Wrestlemania 33...

    The Walking Dead Discussion Thread(spoilers)

    I thought it was a pretty good episode, and I'm pleased to see that Alexandria's huge walker problem will continue into the ninth episode. Hopefully they show what Aaron, Eric (Aaron's boyfriend, whom the writers seemed to have forgotten about), Heath, Spencer, and others are doing during all of...

    Kevin Owens Reportedly Sent Home With Illness

    Hopefully not. Owens is much better off as a guy that does his own thing, especially considering how little regard and compassion we've seen him have even for his own teammates before (i.e he's walked out on them, brushed them off when they were hurt, bad-mouthed and scolded them when they were...

    WWE Plans Scrapped?

    Bryan vs Sheamus for the title sounds alright, and at least Bryan would finally be getting his well-deserved Rumble win, but I don't see Bryan winning the championship in that scenario even though the situation would call for it. I'm also not sure I'd want him to. Reigns has arguably never been...

    Thoughts on Sheamus so far

    He's doing alright, but he just isn't an interesting enough presence or character for me to want to see at the top of the card. The League of Nations idea is a pretty cool idea, though. Gets Barrett into something that feels slightly meaningful for once (even if he will mostly just play the role...

    With the hurting and thin roster, do you think for WM they'll bring back...

    They'll bring him back eventually, but I don't know if it'll be as early as next year's Wrestemania. Wouldn't surprise me if it was, though. Triple H said in a recent interview that he wants to bring back Hogan, and it's just a matter of time before they do. There's no way he ever wrestles...

    John Cena leaving WWE?

    Considering how much he's always talked about how much he lives and breathes WWE, it's not hard to believe. People can always have a change of heart, but I don't ever see him ditching the 'E completely.

    WWE Plans Scrapped?

    Meltzer and the other reliable sheets actually reported around August that the top six matches for WM32 had already been decided on, but since then a few things seem to have changed: -Brock vs Taker III (this is only counting their latest matches since Lesnar returned in 2012, of course) was...

    Was Ronda Rousey Overrated?

    lol You mean when Ronda loses again? Looking forward to it. Say she does win the rematch and reclaim her title, though. That's gonna be enough to honestly convince you that the whole thing was a work just because trilogies are something that wrasslin' promoters often do to draw money...

    Was Ronda Rousey Overrated?

    Anyone believing Rousey's KO loss was a work is either trolling or is a legit blueberry.

    The Bret Hart return should have been done in 2006

    That was, in fact, originally the plan - to have Bret vs McMahon at Wrestlemania 22. Bret was the one who shot it down and refused to participate. He wasn't even comfortable showing up and standing in a row with the rest of the Hall of Fame inductees that night either. I agree that nearly all...

    Brad Maddox Released

    Yeah, saying 'prick' is considered a bad word by folks for some reason (even though they could have easily edited out of the Smackdown broadcast by the time it aired on Thursday.) No big loss either way.
