Yeah. I always want to punch something when Alvarez is speaking.

Self-congratulatory charity work in WWE
Corporate culture is kind of disingenuous by nature. The WWE doesn't really feel any different than any other big corporate entity patting itself on the back.

Somewhere in the middle but closer to Dr. Death than Lawler.

Self-congratulatory charity work in WWE
Cena kind of expertly trolls the people that come to the shows to boo him. They're getting worked as much as the people cheering him. I kind of found the Daniel Bryan stuff with that one kid from earlier this year came off way more exploitative than the Cena stuff.

AJ Styles is appearing at the Dayton show. That has me hyped.

Please let that be true. I bet a series of Kane/Big Show buddy cop films would be huge and would keep them out of the ring forever.

Yeah, it looks like match 3 will be from the schedule.

ACH vs. Matt Sydal Best of 5 series got announced. That should be interesting. I'm going to pick ACH in 5.

Wildside Discussion
I haven't seen a ton of Wildside. I did watch Anarchy pretty religiously during the height of the Devil's Rejects run with Dan Wilson. For my money the Anarchy TV was the best wrestling show on a weekly basis in 2006-2007.

Who are the stars five years from now?
HHH, Stephanie, Lesnar, Orton and Cena. I think Cena will be wrestling less but I also think he'll be getting title runs every time they panic and feel the need to be bailed out.

Context and match quality
I actually just watched Hogan/Andre this weekend having watched all the TV leading up to it. It wasn't a ***** classic but the narrative of the match was much different and more satisfying with the TV and the promos behind it.

SummerSlam Brooklyn... It's Time!!!
You have stuff like the dragon sleeper where the opponent can't reach the mat. Taker and Brock are also UFC guys where you typically tap the arm more often than the mat. It seems like something they would come up with.

Context and match quality
I'm a slave to context in wrestling. It's why I have so many blind spots and things I haven't gotten to. I can't just pluck a random match out of thin air and watch it. I have to see the entire show, the build up and the fallout. I just can't get into wrestling any other way.

Is Supercard of Honor 9 worth the time? I was looking at their VODs and it was an interesting card, I also found a channel someone created for Plex. It somehow grabs the most recent episode for free users on the RoH site and let's you watch it on the TV.

I bet Moose is happy he stayed with RoH. They really need to stop because they're killing his momentum.
