Ryback has a staph infection in his knee and will miss the PPV Sunday

"Disconnected" is a Scientology term for a scientologist breaking away from a family member who criticizes the church. Looks like she has a relative that has abandoned the Perry family. Or she's a Scientologist. That's all

Scientology gimmick for Lana?

I agree with you Loss but it seems that since the Bryan fiasco in the beginning of 2014 people have been more critical of WWE booking. That was so blatant that those that didn't complain before started to voice their criticisms

I saw a theory on twitter that Stephanie was involved to make sure Kevin Dunn would not bury it to Vince. on the flip side you can argue it was simply done to shut down AJ's tweet from February

Rusev is absolutely hilarious. He has that Kurt Angle " funny when he's not really trying to be" vibe

PWI says the company was thrilled with the way the Divas segment came off. They were originally going to do the segment closer to Summerslam but moved it up due to the popularity of the US soccer team winning

Kane is turning face. With .Steph acting like a face maybe they are going to do face HHH v Rollins at Summerslam

At this point I have no idea where they are going with the main event booking. They are making it seem like sure Brock is winning but that usually means the opposite. But I can't see Brock losing

And not to pile on but yeah that segment put just as much shine on Steph as the other women. The McMahons can't help themselves I guess

So is Steph a face now? I mean she has to be after that segment, right? Right? No doubt Hunter had a shirt eating grin on his face with the NXT chant

Oddly enough I think Rollins comes across much better on SD than on Raw. The promo he cut before MITB with Ambrose was fantastic but no one talked about it because it was on Smackdown. I don't think he's a fantastic talker or anything but he comes across much better on the taped show. And for whatever reason his matches get more time there than on Raw. Ryback is another who comes off much better on Smackdown than Raw IMO. Some people get freaked out by the live aspect and I think Rollins might be one of them

WWE fired Lisa Fox Lee today who had been with the company since 1995. She was the executive vice president of content and helped oversee the creative team. I remember that name from Kevin Nash shoot interviews. He absolutely hated her and tried to get her fired. She was previously a high ranking official in the NFL PR department before going to wwe. Maybe more changes coming? edit: eh, looks like I have the wrong person. The time frames match up but Fox was straight out of college when she joined WWE in March 95. The NFL exec that Nash mentioned had a similar sounding name I believe. And he DID get her fired on second thought

there was also that period around 2003-2005 where his hair was thinning, he had a circa 70s style Harley Race mustache, an obvious HGH gut and an oddly colored tan. He probably looks better now, 10-12 years later, than he did then

For what it's worth and this is obviously anecdotal the majority of female fans I've talked to at shows or online find Hunter very attractive. Although less since he cut his hair

can you imagine Vince's reaction when he found out Torrie Wilson was going out with Billy Kidman? He probably feels the same about Bryan and Brie

WWF @ Albany, NY - Knickerbocker Arena - February 18, 1990 Debut at the venue The Genius defeated Hercules after Mr. Perfect interfered The Red Rooster defeated Bob Bradley Shawn Michaels & Marty Jannetty defeated the Powers of Pain via disqualification Dusty Rhodes defeated Randy Savage via count-out Bret Hart fought Greg Valentine to a draw WWF World Champion Hulk Hogan defeated Mr. Perfect

"supposed to suck" was also used for Shawn in the JBL program in 2009. I don't remember if Dave used it but pretty sure Bryan did. I can remember Dylan going off on it at DVDVR

the Cena/Cesaro match went over 30 minutes. Can't remember the last time a Raw match went that long. I really liked the Lana/Dolph/Rusev/Summer segment. Brock destroying the car was pretty great too

Dave and Sean Waltman having a debate on twitter about Cena/Owens, putting people over, 50/50 booking, wins and losses mattering,etc and it's pretty damn awesome. Waltman has a great mind for the business when he's clean

it's paper thin and made of swiss cheese but Lana, Rusev, Dolph and Summer are all trying their damnest to get this storyline over on twitter. Especially Lana and Rusev

Also no HHH or Steph tonight. The number will be terrible and they'll be in 14 segments next week

I don't hate the angle actually ( well at the beginning at least, Lana and .Rusev had some good verbal exchanges when it started) but Lana as a babyface just isn't working. Crowd isnt buying it or anything with Dolph. She will be heel again by Fall

Man they are really pushing Rollins hard here the last few weeks to get people to believe he has a shot against Brock

Cena/Cesaro with a hell of a match on Raw. But the big news is our own Graham Cawthon made the bottom scroll on Raw with one of his tweets!
