Favourite Referee Spots
Robinson sold JBL's punch at Judgment Day '06 like a million bucks. It looks like a perfect KO and he didn't oversell it by flopping around or anything.

It's important to make your opponents look credible even when you insult them. So, yeah...

The idea that everyone gives those two that reaction is transparently wrong Ever since Rumble, the crowd reactions in general have been hostile to the product and direction that WWE is going. Christian and Sheamus were collateral damage. Only some of the product. The crowds love everything with the Shield and Wyatts and Bryan. Orton, Sheamus, Christian, and others range from disinterest to hate.

Christian and Sheamus had a really good match. But yeah, wrong place, wrong time as far as getting a crowd response. Truthfully, I don't think anyone would respond kindly. No one cares about Christian and the crowds turned on Sheamus a while back

I got that feeling too. My first reacton was that he interferes in the main event and costs Bryan the match

Common Match Criticisms
This complaint always bothered me, in particular about the dropkick. Maybe it's because of my own background, but how I think of it is like this: hit a punching bag for a while. Then, occasionally miss. Instead of landing the big straight, purposefully throw it so you miss. What happens? You waste a lot more energy and are more likely to injure yourself (at least if you're throwing as hard as possible). To me, the dropkick vs. the missed dropkick are the same thing. Landing a splash vs. missing a splash is a similar concept, albeit there it's a guy being softer to land on than the supposedly hard mat.

St. Louis payoffs for 1980
How much did they get in Memphis? And this is fascinating, are there any other sources of payouts like this for other territories?

Could a modern era Japanese ace make it in WWE?
I voted Okada. Tall, young, charismatic, good wrestler, and biggest of all he speaks English.

Yeah, my roommate and I were thinking of getting tickets on Tuesday, but the only pairs available were upper deck in the last few rows or marked way up on stubhub. It would be cool to be part of that crowd, but I'll take watching it on TV.

NXT - ARRIVAL
I did. Many, many times.

NXT - ARRIVAL
Live stream shit the bed going into the last 40 minutes or so. Gave up now as the main event is starting

Wrestling Infographic
He always refers to him as a great worker and praises his promos too. I don't get what he sees. Goldust being on top doesn't surprise me given how great he's been during the comeback. The Usos, however, are much higher than I would have guessed.

Pretty dull episode with a bad crowd. I hated the last segment.

WWE Network... It's Here
Yeah logging on through the 360 is the one thing I still can't do. Hopefully they fix that soon, but it's not a huge deal to me since I use my laptop a lot anyway.

WWE Network... It's Here
I had no problem on my laptop and phone earlier today, but now that I got back home and tried to use my 360 I'm having issues. The app downloaded fine, but I can't log in. Oddly, the website is working perfectly.

WWE Network... It's Here
I was able to stream it live on my phone fine, and no issues with buffering so far except for my own internet crapping out.

WWE Network... It's Here
Already got GAB 89 on. I know I could have just youtubed this yesterday, but I'm damn excited. And you have to buy it in 6 months blocks, so that makes sense.

WWE Network... It's Here
Signed up, logged in, and noticed that at the bottom they have some of the biggest PPVs as immediate recommendations (GAB 89, Heat Wave 98, Bash at the Beach 96). The stream is just test bars right now

Elimination Chamber
I'd put the Chamber match as the second best on the show and the third best in the past week. It was very good, but the ending killed it. Not just Orton winning again, but the complete overbooking. Guys interfering in cage(-type) matches is also a big peeve of mine. Edit: I should add, having the third best match in a week is not a slight since the other two are neck-and-neck for my MOTY.

Elimination Chamber
"When" is more likely

Elimination Chamber
There are 24 one on one combinations I want to see in this match. None of them involve Orton

Elimination Chamber
At Mania? None. Going forward after that... depends how they book him. That's what I figure. They can go with this and not see much difference in the short term, but I think they they don't remedy it soon then they'll be in for some bad news.

Elimination Chamber
I'd give that five stars if not for the slow start. But it hit an awesome climax and the last ten minutes were superb

Elimination Chamber
It didn't start that way, but it's gone in the right direction

Elimination Chamber
I could go for a crazy brawl here instead of a normal six-man, but I don't think this is disappointing. And it's heating up right as I post this too
