Royal Rumble 2016
I'd prefer not to discuss this. If we are all still around in 15 years, remember who said it first that it will date badly.

That's what a kid in the crowd said in 1995.

How much do first impressions of wrestlers you've heard about matter?
Hegel made a career of the idea of the middle way. Thesis, antithesis, synthesis. That's Hegelian logic.

A theory on Cena being US champ
An update on this theory now is that HHH will get to 15 titles and then have a match with Cena to equal Flair.

Funniest thing since that skull mask and the Sting match. Starting to love HHH for these moments.

Definitely like they are trying to make Roman a heel.

Just occurred to me that Flair entered at 3. It's possible you know.

I think it's possible that Styles is the most over debutant in history.

Charlotte is a lot better as a heel (character work).

I'll also say that commentary is much improved with the loss of Lawler. I dig JBL and haven't noticed Saxton.

This is absolutely amazing. Can't believe how it STILL ends up with Hogan vs. Warrior at WM 6, that's insane.

[GWE] A few personal truths...
Incidentally, Jingus's position here is akin to reader-response theory. This book for example: This was big in about 1980. And is similarly considered outmoded by most in the academy. However, what you realise if you take the long view is that over about 200 years, you see the same positions come round again and again. It oscillates back and forth between text and context, and between a tendency towards complete subjectivity or complete objectivity. The answers aren't easy.
