So when do you think we get Triple H vs. Shane McMahon? SummerSlam or before then? I'm still hoping for Triple H vs. Seth Rollins, but I'm really starting to think that Rollins comes back as a heel.

Apparently Chris Hero and Zack Sabre, Jr. had a bit of a barnburner at EVOLVE 60. Hero looks ridiculous, but is sort of amazing when you look at what a fucking great wrestler he is. Matt Riddle is still turning heads. He's had like less than 30 matches and there are some that seem to be getting **** level critical reception from people.
And also: SPOILER: show |

Interesting "Did you know". Kerry Von Erich was a frontrunner for the part of Ivan Drago in Rocky 4 but lost of course to Dolph Lundgren. Nikita Koloff was also considered for the role.

I can't see Kerry as a Russian.
Nikita could have pulled it off, but wasn't as imposing as Lundren. And Koloff is damned imposing. |

Awesome Scott Steiner/Sid story. When both were just starting out pre WCW (I believe it was Memphis) Scott Steiner gave Sid a belly to back suplex. Sid landed awkwardly and broke his rib. Sid then went back stage and slapped the shit out of Scott. Scott then drilled Sid in the broken ribs which punctured Sid lung!

Kerry Von Erich was as dumb and a pile of bricks. Supposedly Koloff's name had been thrown around but he was never as close to being considered as Kerry was.

Good/Bad news regarding Ryback's current WWE status.
The bad news is he's basically set to be getting released soon while the good news is now being the best time to grab Ryback merch for cheap since the WWE has started to put all of it on clearance. — Dave Meltzer (@davemeltzerWON) May 8, 2016 |

Not related to the story, but I always found it funny that any movie Terry Funk has been in, he is always some jobber lackey for the big bad who gets his ass kicked pretty handily.

Really weird how heavily Michael Cole emphasized New Japan on RAW. Do you think that maybe we'll see some sort of talent trade between them? There are some guys that could use a working holiday to get some extra things down and freshen up their North American presence. Some guys in Japan could be brought in for some shorter runs to help spice up the television product too.

I think they just don't see them as "direct competition" so they have no problem acknowledging them and people's history in it. As opposed to mentioning anybody's time in TNA or something, which even though it isn't much competition, is still considered "direct competition".

Doubt it since NJPW likely is still upset and feeling the sting from the recent raid by the WWE although ROH could be a big key if it were to ever happen. Their CEO recently said he'd be open to the idea of a possible ROH-WWE collaboration in the future and since ROH has good ties with NJPW, they could possibly convince NJPW to join.

Kerry was indeed in the running for the role of Ivan Drago. Kerry was never great on the mic. I can only imagine him as an actor. He had a bit of a marble mouth. I can just imagine the nightmare of working on the film with Kerry. They would have done take after take after take to get it right. |

Kevin Owens and Tyler Breeze started a GoFundMe to raise money for the Canadian Red Cross, which is helping with efforts to fight the Fort McMurray wildfires. As an incentive, anyone who matches their original $100 donation gets a video message from both of them, and they'll follow anybody who donates at all on Twitter. Within a day they've already raised well past their initial goal of $30,000 but the campaign is staying up until May 22nd, Extreme Rules. |

I had this dream of TNA bringing in a whole bunch of WWE guys and somehow staying alive.
* Tyler Breeze got released from the WWE and becoming "Tyler Swift" in TNA. His finishing move became "The Swift Kick" (a superkick) and he beat James Storm in his first night and then set his sights on the X-Division Title. He'd win the title and get a long run, while Trevor Lee would feud with Shane Helms, who was pissed off that Lee let Swift beat him. * Damien Sandow got signed and became "Aaron Sandow." He was really popular, but he sort of played a heel where he said he'd only perform at the PPV if they found him a high calibur opponent. * Stu Bennett came in using his real name and announced that he'd be the special enforcer of the World Title match at Slammiversary, to make sure no shenanigans go down. * Kevin Kiley worked one match against D'Angelo Dinero, and lost to him with the commentary position on the line. |

Becky Lynch is so fucking tremendous. I'm watching RAW for basically her, AJ Styles, Cesaro and Chris Jericho calling people "stupid idiot." That's more than I usually would. Oh, I suppose Evil Emma is up there too.

Wrestling in 2016 is fucking ridiculous when you think about it. Here you have TNA talents beating down NXT talents and shooting on WWE on an indy show that WWE acknowledge exists. |

Been working my way through Breaking Ground on the WWE Network, finding it really interesting so far. I'm finding Josh and ZZ are fucking terrible, no idea how they got to the Tough Enough finals (other than ZZ being the joke so people voted for him).

They first beat down Johnny Gargano, who is of course with NXT. Then Drew Gulak and TJ Perkins who qualified for the WWE Cruiserweight Classic ran out and got beaten down.

Pretty interesting angle from Gabe. A lot of what has made EVOLVE feel somewhat "flat" over the years, compared to early ROH anyway, is the lack of storylines that just make you want to bite down. ROH would present a lot of these through in-ring stories and not so much your traditional "angles," eg. Samoa Joe vs. CM Punk going Broadway, the general in-ring focus of the promotion, etc. But they'd occasionally do a Raven vs. Punk, which was tremendous.
I might be wrong, but this feels like it might be the first big "angle" since EVOLVE has started. EC3 is definitely a guy I see ending up back in the WWE at some point. He's really worked hard to become better in the ring and is now completely three-dimensional. Plus he's got a tremendous look. Tremendous. |

Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa vs. Michael Hutter & Drew McIntyre in NXT could be pretty cool. I'm fairly certain they're gearing up Gargano & Ciampa to challenge American Alpha with Ciampa possibly turning on Gargano, but I also thought they were obviously gearing up for Carmella to turn on Enzo & Cass and side with Blake & Murphy.
