NXT is so much better than any other wrestling product right now.

RoH?

I think if they get a broadcast deal of any substance they could be something.

Did you watch Takeover last night?

Jericho's podcast with Ambrose this week is really good.

A co-worker of mine wrestles in a local federation or whatever. Really has a blast doing it.

Did you watch Takeover last night?

I don't watch wrestling, but I heard that Finn Balor's intro from Takeover was awesome, and upon looking it up, it is. I do wonder if he'll have to alter the body paint if he gets promoted to the main roster. Yeah, Marvel may not care that he paints Carnage on himself right now, but if he turns into a star in the WWE, they may get pissy that he uses the likeness of one of their characters, especially when it comes to merchandise.

Carnage war paint was pretty badass, though.

Did you watch Takeover last night?

Sadly no.  I am involved in a show with my kids and I have no free time right now.  We're all performing in "It's a Wonderful Life."

My brother does the same near where he lives.  The shows are fun to watch.

Mr. Potter your role?

Mr. Potter your role?     

Harry.  Kids had bigger roles than I did!

TLC sucked last night outside of the opening match.

TLC sucked last night outside of the opening match.

i watched the ambrose/wyatt match and that was about it.  It was a spot-fest, and almost disturbing to see Ambrose take those kinds of bumps.  However no psychology and I don't quite understand the storyline.

WWE stock closed at $10.83 today, down almost 3.5%.  In March it was over $30 a share.

Daniel Bryan making a "major" announcement at the end of Raw tonight.  Twitter-chat is either that he's retiring, or that the Ascension/Road Warriors 4.0 will jump him.

update: he's back....

Anyone tempted to order the New Japan PPV on Sunday from the Tokyo Dome?   From what i've read the promotion is as hot as WCW and WWE were in the 90s, with a very wrestling-oriented product similar to the Crockett-run Mid-Atlantic days.   Jim Ross and Matt Striker are handling the English language commentary.
