Dave has mentioned several times that when Triple H and Steph aren't on TV the ratings plummet. Over the past 2 years they have conditioned their audience that if those two aren't involved the show is not important so you can skip it. I mean their segments are pushed over Cena's. They are presented as the biggest stars in the company for sure. Wondering if Bonnie Hammer and USA don't have something to do with that. I didn't like it back in December when they came back so soon but the fact is they are going nowhere. Especially if they have big matches at mania next year

it's been confirmed that Bryan is out with "career threatening" concussion issues. The company tried to keep the lid on it. Man he should just retire. This is sad

classic rock is my absolute favorite but oh man do I adore cheesy 80s synth pop songs. Spandau Ballet, YES, Sheriff, Starship. Part of this has to do with my cousin babysitting me in the mid/late 80s and her watching MTV all day long. But to be honest I rather detest current pop stuff and haven't really been a fan of the genre any time past 1995 or so. does anyone else think of National Lampoon's European Vacation when "Some Like It Hot" plays? I think it's the scene where Rusty goes into the night club! Classic stuff!

pushes being based on the design of a t shirt is I guess something we have to adapt to in regards to modern wrestling. Hell the entire creative direction of the company seems to be based on merchandise sales. It sucks but i guess you just have to adjust. It's a shame that Vince doesn't seem to value a true connection with a live crowd any longer. Punk actually alluded to this in the interview with the mma reporter before he left last year. It's depressing for long time hardcore fans

reading Cody's fantastic eulogy for Dusty and he mentioned Dusty lost his fortune and was broke sometime in the late 90s/early 2000s. I had no idea this happened. Anyone know the details here?

I understand it's what they are going for with the storyline but that Divas segment tonight made every non-Bella in the company look like a loser Hopefully this leads to Charlotte's debut. if they keep this up Kevin Owens will be the biggest babyface in the company at this rate

On joy another Sheamus vs Orton program

Getting the vibe they are setting up Rollins v HHH for Summerslam. I can't imagine Hunter and Steph as faces though. Rollins really shouldn't turn either after building him up the last year

Survivor Series is iffy because as you mentioned the result meant nothing five weeks later. The other four I agree with

I'm starting to think they are just going to put the title back on Brock and just repeat last year basically. Who knows with this shit?

The booking is just terrible. Never been as worse than it has been since the start of the year

Will be interesting now to see how the crowd reacts when Ambrose is inevitably shifted back down the card

I predict they will be sorry they gave Sheamus that briefcase before we hit fall/winter.

Ha yeah they are literally running almost the exact same storyline a year later

Again terrible booking. Miz has lost clean to Ryback twice in the last couple weeks and now all of a sudden he's a contender

Wyatt is on life support as a character. I have no idea what they are doing here

Well I was completely wrong. Kind of shocked. Looks like they are delaying Reigns's big win. I still wouldn't be surprised to see him in the SS main event And Reigns just beat Wyatt clean as a whistle a few weeks ago. This really seems like a demotion for him

Alvarez has been throwing around the idea of Reigns turning heel on this show and cashing in Ambrose after the main event. I don't see that at all. Reigns wins MITB. Rollins beats Ambrose clean. Brock returns tomorrow setting up Rollins v Lesnar at Battleground. There is a schmozz finish and the next night on RAW Reigns announces he is cashing in at Summerslam setting a triple threat for that show. Reigns pins Rollins at SS setting up the Reigns/Lesnar matches where Reigns finally gets put over. I actually think they are going to go the simple route this time. Reigns/Cena has to be in the works for late this year/early next year you would think

I find Russo's criticism of Owens rather peculiar since he once said that he could get anyone over with his booking. Regardless if they looked too much "like a wrassler" or not Well except if they were Mexican or Japanese...

everyone involved in the WM 6 mixed tag is now gone. Damn

man I can remember my cousins, brother, friends, etc. and I all doing our Dusty impressions while watching WCW PPVs in the mid/late 90s. Who didn't try to impersonate the Dream? Man is this devastating

Stephanie McMahon ‏@StephMcMahon 7m7 minutes ago #RIPDustyRhodes We never got to shoot our angle together! Thank you for everything, I Love You. #HallofFamer #Legend

absolutely devastated. Dusty was one of the best. This sucks beyond belief. RIP Dream

They are literally doing the exact same storyline with Rollins and HHH/Stephanie that they did with Orton 2 years ago. Teasing tension week after week but always lead to them being on the same page ... Until the next PPV Noble is awesome
