This is the Bill Simmons doc, right? The voice over is the Masked Man. Pretty cool.

Yes, that's from Bill Simmons. I don't watch wrestling now, but I was a yuge WWF fan back in the 80s. I'll be watching this.

I don't get the Broken stuff at all.

I watched about 10 minutes of Raw last night. Jordan and Reigns seemed to have had a good match from what little I saw.

It's incredibly dumb, especially juxtaposed with Bray who for the most part has been portrayed with a more serious tone.

That said, it gave Matt Hardy a personality for the first time in his career. But it's still incredibly dumb.

They've booked a few 205 Live house shows with plans to do more. Are they out of their minds?

If they book small arenas or better yet gyms or concert venues like NXT would run, it could work. There are fans out there who dig cruiserweights. They'd need to actually allow them to wrestle like cruiserweights though like they did during the CWC.

A small niche crowd into cruiserweights would do a lot for the product instead of a half-empty arena there to see Smackdown.

TIL two things (both of which will probably get me trolled by NP):

1. The big poppa pump character was scott "the long haired one" Steiner and not Rick "the dog faced gremlin one" Steiner

2. There was a Rockers reunion against something called "La Resistance" at WM XXI

The scott Steiner one is the newest one, Roberts is next newest. Agreed the Jake ep was really good.

I think the Matt Hardy stuff will be extra corny with the WWE, especially since he has to use WOKEN so WWE owns it. I find myself enjoying the wrestling that comes out of NXT because they seem to focus more on storytelling in the ring.

Which is lame because someone posted on wreddit that some vet writers don't think the people coming through NXT are ready to tell stories outside of the ring. I don't care about those stories unless they help drive the main story of the ring work.

My friends were texting about this today and I never gave it a second thought of being serious. Then I see the stories everywhere all day.

EXCLUSIVE: Vince McMahon told people in WWE that he developed the desire to bring back the XFL when he was doing the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary on it.

WWE employees have been told internally to “get ready” because it is coming.
