Strummer

and Andre was of course freaking great in Princess Bride. I actually think in many ways he steals the film

I actually think Rock is super great at comedy. He's not in much of "The Other Guys" but he's hilarious in it for his short time on screen

PWI also reporting they pitched Batista on being the special ref for HHH v Reigns and he turned them down

So PWI is reporting the card for Mania is HHH v Reigns Lesnar v Wyatt Undertaker v Braun Strowman Charlotte v Becky v Sasha Dave on twitter seems to be implying that Undertaker v Strowman is on

So Mary Jannetty responded to Stephanie mentioning him in her promo last night: Marty Jannetty· 15 hrs · Did that bitch just say what I think I just hurrd on RAW??? Steph...should I remind the world.all them kids might not be Hunter's. ?? well...

Well no matter what happens tonight that Miz/AJ segment will be the talk of the show. Miz is underrated

They are going the Daniel Bryan route with AJ

Oh man Vince replays it to bury her

Lol Liilian said the Usos were Grammy award winning. Ha

Did Reigns just imply that Stephanie was WWE champion? Why of course he did

He announced it this morning. Man is this sad. He's been through so much the last 20 or so years.

I've had this conversation several times in the past couple years. Without a doubt he had a great career in WWE but he's more a top guy in the ilk of a Jericho or Edge and less than guys like Austin, Rock, HHH, etc. The problem was he saw himself in the later group and he clearly viewed his run as a disappointment because he didn't reach that level. I think he was on his way to becoming the company's primary mechanic and he wanted no part of that. He wanted to be a made guy that would headline manias and it just didn't happen

I can remember that they pitched an idea of him facing Regal at I believe Survivor Series 2001 and he turned it down because he didn't think Regal was a big enough name. Then they shot that vignette in air McMahon where Vince fired him. Think Foley got a lot of his chest in that scene with his frustrations with the company. Then he wasn't used again till he reffed the cell match between Hunter and Nash

pretty sure the deal here was Mankind would ask Rock to marry him and would pester him about it show after show. Rock initially would act annoyed by it and treat Foley horribly but would eventually reveal after awhile that he was gay. Of course Russo was out of touch with the product here because Foley and WWE had a major falling out during this time and Foley did not appear again on WWE TV till Spring/Summer 2003

there was also Orton/Edge from Vengeance 2004 that received a lot of internal praise from the company on how to work the new style.

Maybe I'm way off but I think Vince saw Punk as his next great mechanic but Punk wanted no part of it. Remember "make Roman look good"? It may be a reach but I think Punk saw that this was going to be his role going forward and knew his shot as a permanent made top guy was done and he left. That wasn't the only reason but one of them

Remember Ryback's line a few months ago about Dolph having sex with her was a double cross. She didn't know he was going to say that

I think in the past it was definitely about match quality but now just about more who is the most over. People were mad that Bryan wasn't being pushed on top because he was the most over with the crowds. Ambrose is still more over than Reigns right now. Ziggler probably isn't anymore but in the last year he was for sure

Ambrose is clearly in the main event to eat the pinfall Dangerous for Reigns having him go over two babyfaces much more over than him

Zero pop for the main event announcement of Fastlane. Ouch.

Dare I day the Edge and Christian show on the network looks funny. Puppet H!!

Have to admit Rock acknowledging Pat Patterson backstage got a laugh out of me

Jericho calling the 38 year old Styles "kid"

McMahons please go away. AJ Styles chant no sold by Vince

my not so original prediction is that Brock faces Hunter at Fastlane for the title and is screwed over by Bray to set up that match. Reigns wins some sort of number one contender match, maybe an Elimination Chamber
