I still feel The Miz is overrated and I still don't buy him in the ring, but there's part of me that thinks he is everything they look for in a modern Superstar. I think there's a case for The Miz beating Bryan at SummerSlam (especially if Bryan is leaving), winning the Survivor Series match for SmackDown, winning the Royal Rumble and facing AJ Styles at WrestleMania.
I feel dirty saying that. But the current audience thinks he is really good. He no doubt works hard. He can do the publicity grind. He was recently on the celebrity baseball thing and I heard he stood out, and his reality show is doing well. There's enough to emphasize about his in-ring career (IC Title reigns, former WWE Champion, Money in the Bank Winner, WrestleMania 1 Million Buy Club) to position him as he was in 2011, only this time with more experience and cache. Ugh, I can't believe I'm typing that. I think the dude's place is just naturally so much lower. But I think there's something to him being given a banner year and being presented as the epitome of modern WWE wrestling. If people boo him, fine; if people cheer him, then you can run with that too. |

Gary Hart's book is fun. He obviously thought very highly of himself and his contributions...but who expects the dispassionate truth from anybody in pro wrestling?

The Death Of WCW was repetitive with some detailed backstage info but it was cloyingly pro-DDP and that struck me as bizarre. If you read Death of WCW you will notice this and it just doesn't make any sense.

Nice.
Gary Hart seems more arrogant than any wrestling personality in any book and he wrote the damned thing. I think there are a lot of lies in this book. Gary Hart...a man I had never heard of until recently. |

It's unintentionally hilarious in all the right ways.
Gary Hart seems like a complete and total bullshitting bastard of a man but I admire his unabashed claims at inventing or discovering half of wrestling. |

70 pages left, apparently Jim Hellwig was going to be Big Van Vader in Japan for Inoki but the WWF signed as Ultimate Warrior and Inoki had to get Leon White.
Vader as a musclebound shit show of a wrestler wouldn't have lasted five minutes. |

Then again, that might be me giving WWE writing too much credit again, and they simply forgot he's part of the roster. That's honestly (and sadly) prob'ly a better creative direction for him than he'll actually get. |

1. The Rock pins Roman Reigns clean at WM 35. Crowd goes wild. 2. The Rock wins the Universal Championship for the first time at a later PPV. 3. Roman Reigns pins The Rock at WM 36 to win the Universal Championship. The Rock raises his cousin's hand to close the show as the crowd boos the fuck out of them. |

The Rock defends the title once between bouts w/ Roman Reigns, easily defeating a really over wrestler. We'll go w/ Braun Strowman.

I don't either and I'm not planning on it tbh.
I'll read the results and peruse the thread on here, but outside of what gifs/tweets show up on Twitter...I think WWE might have finally killed all my interest in RAW w/ last week's show. |

I can't watch a 3hr, 10 min show to see one Seth Rollins match or maybe one Elias performance, etc.

That's why I watch the 90-minute Hulu version on Tuesday and skip the shit I don't care to see. It's been a great system. Highly recommend.

Oh Hulu, maybe I should watch eps 2 and 3 of CASTLE ROCK tonight instead.
My only fear w/ the 90 min version, screech, my dear lad, is that it will still be horrible b/c I can't recall any period in 2018 where any episode of RAW has had 90 min of good things happening. |
