Bo can "nice guy" hit on Brie Bella during the storyline:
"Hi Brie. I just wanted to say I think your husband is a really great guy. I can understand that your troubles with Kane lately must be really stressful, and Daniel's got his focus on the World Heavyweight Championship and not on you. Look, my mother was a therapist, so if you ever need anyone to talk to about your problems, give me a buzz...here's my number..." |

I also want Fandango to come back as a darker character. In fact, you can flat-out go "Crowdango" with him, and have him appear in the rafters watching all of The Shield's matches after Extreme Rules, with the commentators bringing up that he was Triple Powerbombed off the stage by them.

Come up with an entirely new moniker for Johnny Curtis. It is time. After he eventually attacks The Shield, he is approached by a backstage interviewer.
"Fandango, what did we just see?" "Sssh...Fandango is dead. I am now...Poetic Justice." Yeah, I know that's terrible, but it's kind of the point. He keeps some of the mannerisms and eccentricities of Fandango, but he's actually a bit unhinged and dangerous at the same time. |

Some random trivia questions for folk that are as bored and dorky as me (probably no one):
#1: I'm a second generation wrestler. My brother and I have had a lot of success together, although sometimes you wouldn't have even known we were related. If you looked at my career, you'd probably come to the conclusion that I believe very strong in the phrase "There is safety in numbers." Perhaps my lasting impression on the biggest promotion I worked for is that a move I used as a finisher is now used as a finishing move by an active wrestler. My second finisher in the same company is also currently used by a former World Champion, although I never achieved much success with it myself. At one point in my career, I had a very cinematic entrance. I have stood up to a crooked employer before, but was quite content going to work for another one, although again, you might not have known it. In the biggest promotion I worked for, every time I won a championship, I won it from a future World Champion. I also have an odd connection to radio. #2: I've actually got a very good win-loss record in matches, although my career started off with a significant loss. The biggest night of my professional career turned into one of the worst nights of my professional career. At least two of my partners have been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. I was part of a well-received team that was just destined to be on a "C-show" forever. We both still work for the same company. Like one of my mentors, I once slightly tweaked my name in a very similar fashion to how they tweaked theirs. The guy I wrestled my first televised tag team match with and I would go our separate ways, but ended up working together again in a completely different role. We also both met our wives on the job. |

#3:
I share a surname with a Hall of Famer. I was brought into the company I achieved my greatest success in by someone who would go on to defeat me for a championship. My finishing move was a risky one to pull off. Besides the name, some might say I have a lot in common with at least two other very notable Intercontinental Champions in the WWE's history. One of my trainers also trained a current WWE performer who shares a similar character quirk to me. I have had a controversial history of surgeries in the past. |

Yes!
We may finally get to see Flair vs Rogers. http://www.wrestlinginc.com/ - WWE recently purchased a library of Mid-Atlantic Wrestling footage shot in Virginia at ringside next to the ring announcer, from Jim Crockett Promotions events. The footage was filmed by George Pantas, as he revealed in the Norfolk Navy Flagship. The footage includes what may be the only complete match on tape featuring Ric Flair vs. Buddy Rogers. |

Some more trivia, because you all love it like Lana's ass:
#4: Some may call me a former World Champion. My military credentials have been called into question at least once. I've managed to win a championship in every major North American promotion I have ever competed in. Two of my finishing moves might test the sanity of an opponent. Another briefly used move took the name of something mechanical. My cousin has had two stints with a company I worked for, but won no championships, and never competed using my name. I share a surname with the real name of a well known referee. I respect my elders and have helped them out a fair a bit. I took after someone very close to me by doning a similar outfit over a decade after they did so. The person I made my in-ring debut against and I have competed on the big stage since, most of that time in the same company, but we have never held a common championship, this is despite my tenure with that company being quite notable for a while. I also have a bizarre history both winning and losing a specific championship to someone the opposite gender to me. #5: I had a very notable win as part of the WWE's SmackDown brand. My finishing move is sweet, and is now one of the most popular moves in all of professional wrestling, although it would be unfair of me to take sole credit of that. I have a clever way of getting around the law. I outlasted a former tag team partner, but he was never my best friend. I used to ask a very specific question of viewers. I may have been a fan of a classic 80's comedy film, but this is just an assumption you could draw. A tag team partner of mine may have also been a fan of a notable 90's video game. I have another tag team partner who might like shoes. I wrestled my tryout match for the biggest promotion I worked for using the real name of a friend I got my start in the business with. I once held a championship that CM Punk never won, but Dean Ambrose has held for almost a year. |

AJ Styles just won the most prestigious championship of his career. Good for him. Is New Japan still excellent?

You nailed it.
You're right, I was referencing the FIP World Heavyweight Championship and not the WWE United States Championship. Trent Barreta scored a huge upset against Drew McIntyre when he rolled him up as Drew was looking to toss Barreta to the outside. This was made out to be a huge upset. Trent's finishing move is the Gobstopper, which is the Busaiku Knee which Daniel Bryan has also adapted into the Knee Plus. A Gobstopper is also a type of candy treat (sweet). By changing the spelling of his name, he gets to keep using it on the independent circuit, sidestepping any (if there are any) trademark infringements he may be stepping on. Trent Barreta and Caylen Croft were The Dudebusters (that was my dodgy 80's comedy reference, and "Croft" was linked to the 90's video game character, Lara Croft from Tomb Raider), but Croft was released whilst Barreta stayed on the roster as a singles act. After leaving the WWE, Barreta would form a team with Chuck Taylor (who shares his name with a type of shoe) called "Best Friends." Trent Barreta worked tryout matches for the WWE under the ring name "Greg Cardona," the surname of which is the real name of WWE Superstar, Zack Ryder, who trained in the same facility as Barreta. |

#4 sounds like Chavo in some parts but others I can't really link with him.

* Chavo Guerrero was a former ECW Champion. Some people may try to press the case that it is a World Championship, but others (including the WWE), would probably say that it isn't.
* Chavo competed as "Lt. Loco" in WCW. * He won championships in WCW, WWE and TNA. * As Lt. Loco, he used a Tornado DDT I once read was called the "Loco DDT." I can't find that now, so maybe I was mistaken about that. Whoops. He used a Brainbuster early on in his WWE days. Loco/brainbuster -- just something to do with the functionality of the brain. * Chavo briefly used an STF that was dubbed the "Low Rider" in his SmackDown Six days. * Shaul Guerrero has just left the WWE for the second time. She never won a title and wrestled as "Raquel Diaz." * Chavo competed as "Kerwin White" as part of the RAW brand for a while, and there was a well known referee named Tim White. * He served as a tag team partner to his Uncle Eddie, he brought in his father for a WWE run and he always looked after Aunt Vickie. * Chavo Guerrero dressed up as the Swagger Soaring Eagle and supported Jack Swagger. Mando Guerrero infamously portrayed The Gobbeldy Gooker. Giant bird costumes was the reference with the doning of outfits there. * Chavo wrestled his first match in WCW against William Regal. Chavo would go on to become a WCW Tag Team Champion, Cruiserweight Champion, WWE Tag Team Champion and ECW Champion. William Regal has held the WCW TV Title, WWE European Title, WWE Hardcore Title, WWE IC Title and World Tag Team Titles. Chavo and Regal both spent quite a few years in WCW together, before they both made the jump to WWE. Chavo was at one point the only contracted employee brought over from the acquisition of WCW. * Chavo Guerrero won the Cruiserweight Title from Daffney at one point, and he also lost it to Jacqueline at another point. He also lost it the Hornswoggle, but that wasn't part of the question. |

Also, kinda agree with Batista on not jobbing to Bryan again. It would be one thing if he wasn't leaving and could do something immediately afterwards to protect his cred, but as it stands, losing to Bryan twice then leaving would definitely hurt his credibility as a top heel. Yeah, guy is a douche, but he has a right to protect his image in the business same as everyone else. |

So him losing to Daniel Bryan is going to affect his movie career?
Batista is definitely in the wrong. |

I get the feeling that's from the "Best of Raw: After the Show" DVD.
I've been hearing a lot of good things about the DVD. I'm really thinking about buying it. |

His theme, minus the siren, sounds like it can be a character theme from F-Zero GX.
