I would just like to point out that Chris Jericho calling Rey Mysterio, Jr. "Ron Mysterio, Jr." is one of the best things in wrestling history.

to this day, I still refer to Cole as Mitchell Cole.

One of the finest heels on the mike.
Oh, and Fan-Dodge-Durango for Fandango is probably my favorite.

I just don't understand what they're doing with Reigns still. I only watched like 2-3 times in all of 2017 (which also included going to RAW in Charlotte in Mayish) but of course I watch the RR and Reigns (and Cena for that matter) are exactly where they were when I left off: the fans can't stand him yet Vince still pushes him as a face.

At least Cena has some redeeming qualities (is good on the mic and is good at reacting to the crowd) but Reigns is amazingly without any sort of mic skills or personality. Why couldn't they just have him turn when he threw Rollins out of the ring?! what's the point of still forcing him as a face?!

Reigns will be beating Lesnar for the title at Mania. This has been the plan since the end of WM33.

So during this filming, I assume she isn't going to be doing any kind of training.

Shayna Baszler looked green during the MYC and she actually had matches under her belt.

Didn’t they try to hawk that on the air and Heenan said something like “That smells awful?” The Brain was awesome.

Haven’t explored the Network much lately and just saw that they added a whole bunch of Coliseum Home Video releases. Holy **** this is awesome. I can finally watch all those collections that my parents wouldn’t buy for me. First up: WrestleFest 92.

How over are both Elias and Braun that this even worked. That was an entertaining segment I just watched.

those two are the only reason I even attempt to watch RAW. It was kinda weird hearing Braun speak in a normal voice though.

Word on the street is if/when the WWE returns to co-branded PPVs for every show, they will all be 4 hours plus a 1 hour pre show. That’s way way way too long.

thanks for reminding me to cancel the network. I re-subbed for Royal Rumble and forgot to cancel.

JJ's entire TNA story was summed up in one short sentence:

"Jarrett continued to compete around the world and also began to promote shows that gave future WWE Superstars like AJ Styles, Bobby Roode and Eric Young their first major exposure."

Road Dogg has to induct him, right?

This class is pretty weak for sure. Even with Goldberg headlining. Jarrett couldn't even main event a show if he was the only match on the card.

André the Giant

https://www.hbo.com/documentaries/andre-the-giant
From HBO Sports, WWE, and the Bill Simmons Media Group comes Andre The Giant, a documentary examining the life and career of one of the most beloved legends in WWE history. The ambitious, wide-ranging film explores Andre’s upbringing in France, his celebrated WWE career and his forays into the entertainment world.
André René Roussimoff was born in 1946 in Grenoble, France. In his early teens, he exhibited signs of gigantism though he was not diagnosed with acromegaly until his twenties. He began his training in Paris at 17 and eventually became known in wrestling circuits around the world. In 1973, Andre joined the organization now known as World Wrestling Entertainment, where he became a superstar and rival of WWE legend Hulk Hogan.
Executive Producer Bill Simmons, who joined HBO in 2015 and founded sports and culture publication The Ringer, describes Andre as “the ultimate unicorn” and “a true legend.”
“Everyone who ever crossed paths with him has an Andre story — and usually four or five,” says Simmons. “I’m delighted to join forces with [director] Jason Hehir and WWE so we can capture Andre’s amazing story once and for all.”

Best episode of Raw in years. Seth Rollins proved that he is one of if not the best wrestler in the world.

One side of me thought they need to do more shows like that. More rasslin', a less backstage segments. Maybe even include the quick post-match interview in the split screen. But because it's been so script and storyline-driven for so long, I caught myself saying "this is weird. First hour and they've only had two matches and nothing else", like it was a bad thing.

I've spent month watching mediocre RAWs, and as soon as I decided to stop watching for a couple weeks they finally have a pretty good one.

Those are the reasons why I still watch wrestling. Every once in a while they give you something really good.
