Brock is sort of the definition of tweener.

Let's put it this way. If you dove into a shallow pool head first and smacked your head against the bottom, you're going to hurt the top of the head. But it's the neck that's taking the serious damage. You have some weird ideas for gimmick matches.

I make up fake probabilities all the time. The key to doing so is never using round numbers.

I was going to make a gif of Kerry's big no sell but I couldn't make that happen.

I just got to watch it a couple of days ago but haven't had time to figure out how to do anything with it yet (was planning to this weekend), so good on you for sharing with the class. My main takeaways were that it was a wonderful beatdown on Casas for basically the whole match, which started with bloody violence and moved on to using limbwork to create openings; great selling by Negro Casas, perfect asshole offense by Cota, and way way way too stilted a comeback to justify it all. It's a frustrating match for what it could have been. Everything they do is great but it's just not enough. A lot of that is because it was just one fall, I think. There was a sense that Cota was vulnerable and all it'd take was one good shot from Casas but there wasn't ENOUGH of that sense to make it work.

Bret's big in Germany though!

Shawn's ego was both his biggest boon and his worst enemy.

Natural heel.

Is there something written somewhere about Batista as a draw. Just curious.

A three hour raw would be a problem whether or not they had Thursday. I think a two hour Raw and a two hour Smackdown would be better than a three-hour Raw and no Smackdown.

Even then, Big E is right there!

I want to see a La Parka top 20.

100% made up bullshit. Brock would do it yes. Austin would do it, maybe? He probably won't, he has never said he has a desire to have another match. Until he completely changes his mind, it's not happening. Why throw out a bullshit number like 35 per cent? Either they can convince Austin to have one more match or they can't. That is what matters. The point, I think wasn't that Austin had a 35% chance of doing it, but that he had a 65% chance of NOT doing it. Ross was trying to stress, once again, that it probably wouldn't happen.

I imagine it's just gonna be Brock crushing somebody. It'd be cool to see Cesaro in there with him, but Kofi is probably the better choice. I'd even prefer Bo Dallas. I think they could make sort of a mini Jericho vs Goldberg thing out of that which might actually get Bo over.

Pretty simple question here. I know some people said that the win Owens got was the one that Rusev really needed. The win by Owens meant somewhat more since Cena had just blown through Rusev, who they had spent the better part of the year beating. I'm not necessarily asking who's better in the ring, or even as a total package, but instead which of the two they should have strapped the rocket to? More so then, who had/has more upside to be put strong over Cena and to be built strong moving forward? Or at least situational upside.

If Tyson is really out, I hope they come to their senses and run Brock vs Cesaro instead.

Ron Starr calls Facebook "the Facepage" and gets points for that.

Hunter's two years older than Dusty was in 88. That's an interesting thought.

Nothing says "ECW" like reverence to Magnum TA.

Hunter's gone on record publicly that the one thing he'd wanted to change the most about the WWE right now is the three hour Raws.

Reading puppy entrails?

Watch the TXT match.

To be fair, that Negro Casas IS really something.
