The Chief

I'm assuming Heyman still has enemies on the writing staff? Makes me wonder if his guys are just collateral damage. Even his Brock storylines have been largely shit.

Is Emma here on a work visa? Could be trouble for her.

Taker was gone for almost all of 1994, I can imagine people were pumped for his return. Bret vs Owen was a pretty hot program too.

Paige worked a lot more vicious on Raw and I liked it. Somebody on one of the podcasts here said that the heel turn was planned from day one, I can see it now. I think we'll have a better grasp on Paige in the next few months.

You have to watch the live stream, they're not on demand. A good way to catch them is to watch around ten-fifteen minutes before the to of the hour. For example if a house show ends at 9:47 and Legends House doesn't start until 10:00, they fill that time with these types of things.

That Regal one was filmed ages ago and I completely forgot about it. Really need to catch that.

Murdoch looked like an athlete who just overdid the beer and cheeseburgers later in life. Hero looks like a guy who has never lifted a weight or done any cardio in his life. I think you can get away with not looking cut or not looking strong, but you can't get away with both. I remember when Chris Harris/Braden Walker got released for being out of shape and everybody shit all over him and made jokes. I really don't see how this situation is any different, it's just that Hero is an Indy darling and Harris wasn't. You can probably argue that Harris was in better shape than Hero too.

I really don't want to see Jericho or The Miz in 2014.

I can't believe how over Swagger just was...

I don't get what the point is, Punk looks pretty much the same. If anything he's leaner now due to his dietary changes. And you're comparing a screencap of HHH to a publicity photo from 14 years ago that has been photoshopped and touched up for use on merchandise and advertising. HHH still looks phenomenal for his age, I don't think that's even debatable.

Dick Murdoch can go fuck himself I guess. Murdoch looks like an ass kicker. Hero doesn't, which doesn't really work when your gimmick is that you knock people out. I think there's a big difference between fat guys who drink beer and guys who just look out of shape. I see a lot of people being up Dusty as a counterpoint to Hero, but even in his later days Dusty was a big dude. Yeah he was fat but he had big arms, shoulders, etc. Hero just looks weak. He might be a great wrestler but you run the risk of making it look like anybody can do this job when you put people who look like that on TV.

So can we agree that Rusev doesn't suck now? Because that match kicked ass.

Anybody else having streaming issues? Mine is seriously horrible. Paused the show and I'm watching s few minutes behind and it still sucks.

Link doesn't seem to work for me Edit: p2b link just went up as I posted this, thanks Brad

Gotta say I've been digging Seth Rollins' new theme music. Probably the most metal thing they've ever put together. Breath of fresh air from all the Randy Orton pussy garbage they've been using.

Where were the other instances?

Faarooq calls Goldust a fag at an MSG house show in 1997, you've got Tank Abbott threatening to cut Big Al's "fucking throat." Plenty of uncensored fun on the network!

What does Seth Rollins slumming it in the IC title tier even mean? It's a B-show. He can't wrestle only main event guys.

Naomi wants Paige's title. They're both faces so there's mutual respect there. What didn't you get about that segment?

There is a very lengthy microscope thread for Brody, that would be a good place to start. I just checked.

Buzz always reminded me of that friend who has too much to drink when you go out and is always looking for trouble. Some kind of scuffle happens and you all leave, but he's still wound up and ready to throw down hours after everyone else has calmed down. So you just give him more beer and hope that he passes out.

Yup. There's A LOT of yelling on Russo's part.

Vince Russo drops today. Hope this is different than the 85 other Vince Russo interviews out there. I have faith in Steve, looking forward to this.
