Looks like it’ll be live Friday on Fox with replays on FS1 and promotion during NFL pregame. Damn.

Johnny Nitro/Morrison is going to be on the next Survivor this fall. There's a guy I'd like to see back in WWE with the talent they have right now.

I've been enjoying going down through the top-rated matches of all-time (Meltzer's ratings on profightdb), and finding them on Youtube.

oh yeah, it is. TBH, I couldn't name a single match. That's how little WWE I have watched in the last month or so. WIth 7 posts on this page in the last month including this one, I'm guessing I'm not the only one.

Earlier this week, I was reminded via Paypal receipt that I didn't cancel my subscription in May like I wanted, so there's another 9.99 that I won't be getting back.

I DVR Raw and Smackdown... i think in the past 3 months I've just went in and deleted them the next day without even skimming through them. No interest right now really in anything.

I didn't watch at all this week, but I've been trying to watch Smackdown. It's a far more tolerable show than RAW. The AJ/Nakamura feud has been pretty good.

RAW is just a steaming pile of garbage.

I quit watching Raw a long time ago. Still watch Smackdown every week. My only complaint with Smackdown is Big Cass. I cringe everytime that dude gets to talk. Hopefully he goes away after this feud with Daniel Bryan.

Got to meet Mick Foley tonight and went to his show for the 20th anniversary of HIAC. I'll go into more detail tomorrow but what a great time. Really intimate setting.

If any of you get a chance to go to the Pittsburgh show (I think it is sold out) do it. Foley is an awesome storyteller and I was utterly captivated by the stories he was telling about his early career and leading up to HIAC. He's a really funny dude, and friendly as can be. The meet and greet wasn't a rushed thing, he took the time to spend a minute or two with all of us.

He is an example of the power of self-confidence, because he obviously didn't have the "look".

There was a charity raffle with all proceeds going to a local wrestler that was seriously injured in December. Didn't win :(

Yeah I wanted to get tickets to the show here but it sold out before I could. I think he is in town 20 years to the day of the HITC that took place at KOTR here. I was at the KOTR show that was insane to see live at 15 years old.

Cant sleep so i'm up watching NXT Takeover from last night. Velveteen Dream is a future WWE Champion. Dude is awesome in the ring and his character is fresh.

Gargano and Ciampa put on another 5* classic. God damn. Everything about their feud is what wrestling should be. Takeover shows continue to be the only must watch WWE stuff. They always deliver.

That’s a gimmick that won’t work at all on the main roster. It’ll be another Tyler Breeze/Adam Rose/Bo Dallas.

I still find it humorous that Velveteen Dream didn't win Tough Enough, as he was the best wrestler with the most charisma in that season. Thus another example of fan voting being stupid.

So Money in the Bank felt like a house show with a couple of ladder matches.

Big Cass has been released and WWE did not even wish him well in his future endeavors.
