Looks like a copy of the feed sent to the closed circuit locations, which I guess is the same thing.

I mean, ego probably did play a part in the sense that he didn't want to be seen as a broken down has been past his prime. He obviously could have worked longer, but as Dave mentioned in the WON obit Bruno had a memory of seeing the crowds react to a past-prime Gorgeous George and decided he never wanted to be seen like that. The funny part is when he arguably was in that position in his mid 80s comeback run, the crowds still loved him just as much as his prime.

So an empty folder for Heat briefly appeared on the Roku app today, setting off speculation that it could be the next content dump. I would assume at least if they created a placeholder folder for it that would indicate it is coming at some point sooner than later.

I know NXT has to restock after the call ups, and their track record rebuiding guys is pretty good, but I don't know about this new Kona Reeves push that seems to be coming soon.

I only knew him as a manager of second tier guys, so seeing him wrestle on the Mid Atlantic stuff on the Network was a nice education.

As one would expect, it's been a big story here in Pittsburgh. All the sports teams/news stations/goverment leaders have been making statements regarding his passing. It's like part of the culture here that everyone's parents/grandparents were huge fans of Bruno even if they stopped watching after he retired.

FWIW, Dave has been trying to correct the narrative since Bruno was welcomed back to the fold and the WWE machine went into overdrive with the MSG sellout number. So it's not like today was the first time he's mentioned it. I don't know if anyone's noticed but Dave gets triggered (as the kids say) by inaccurate numbers so it's the reason why he gets so hung up on stuff like this and the WM3 number. It's probably also why so many people joke and/or speculate that he's on the spectrum since the easiest way to get under his skin is to parrot an inaccurate number related to wrestling.

Well I'll give it a shot, I'm actually on a computer now, will try replying from my phone later to test it.

People were trying to #wellactually Dave on Twitter over him saying the Scorpion and the Sharpshooter are the same move, so I don't blame him for trying to nip another wave of idiots @'ing him in the bud.

I know this runs the risk of "now-is-not-the-time"-ism, but it is kind of amazing that the period where Bruno was incredibly bitter at Vince has been completely wiped from history. Him and Billy Graham were always the go to's for anyone in mainstream media who wanted a voice to speak about the evil WWF and their drug fueled monsters. Time heals all wounds and bridges were seemingly repaired in recent years, but there's always going to be a part of me that sees him as an angry father lashing out at mean old Vince for (in his mind) ruining his relationship with his son.

Not sure now it's an issue with the phone and not the board when it formats properly in the reply box and only disappears when I hit either the post or preview buttons.

I am noticing when I post here via my iPhone that all apostrophes and quotation marks get removed from whatever I typed. It seems to be a recent issue, wondering if its some kind of board software quirk. Some examples: these all have apostrophes when I type them in.... wont cant didnt This should have quotation marks around it When I hit send they all will disappear.

Im all for the 2018 Jeff Hardy revival run, but he still has two strikes and already got a DWI this year. As boring as Orton is, at least you can be reasonably sure you wont wake up to read about him getting arrested. I have a feeling theres going to be a ceiling on how much Jeff gets pushed because of that.

Yeah but at least Mike Tyson did time for what he did. You can at least argue he served his punishment and deserved a chance to make a living again. UFC won't even pretend to punish Connor because the new owners took on so much debt they can't afford to. So now you have an inmates-running-the-asylum situation where guys who are any level of draw can tell Dana to go fuck himself knowing he has to come groveling back to them to sell PPVs.

I can see Vince thinking "if we move everyone the fans like to Smackdown, NOW they have to cheer Roman goddammit!"

Not saying Cass is great, but his WWE singles career was basically working with Enzo. We don't exactly have enough evidence to put him in Sheamus territory yet.

Also I'm sure WWE will run it into the ground because that's what they do, but Truth and Tye as comedy pairing sounds like it could have potential.

Raw getting absolutely pantsed in the draft is not a thing I was expecting to happen. There must be something related to their TV contract promising to make SD must-watch TV (like they did when it moved to USA and wanted to give big ratings for the debut there) to warrant taking a big steamy dump on their flagship like that.

Looks like Harper and Rowan were able to draft their first names back too.

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus...... that's like some shit they dig up on an episode of Criminal Minds when they are trying to pinpoint the reason someone became a serial killer.

Of the AfterMania shows Angle won on that, he Got the Former NXT Womens Champ and Bobby Lashley. Ruby Riottt is a win to tonight Man, they need to change her music. They come in looking all badass and punk out Sasha and Bayley, and all you hear is DEEDLE DEEDLE DEEDLE DEEDLE as they stand tall.

So I guess Miz wins the ladder match in Saudi Arabia to bring the IC title to Smackdown.

Maybe Kurt is secretly planning an Impact invasion of Raw.

If only Nattie knew someone who could teach her how to be the partner of someone who is a much bigger star.

Well, WWE finally got fans to cheer for a Samoan named Joe, just not the one they were hoping for.
