I have never seen that before. Incredible. It's baffling watching that knowing that he's 59 there....he may have been the most in shape person on the planet for his age at the time.

With the Revival specifically, I have no probelm with them working a "power" style. I have more problem with them being yet another team who does so. Even if they're up against AoP, because taller and fatter doesn't automatically mean stronger. |

Also, it made me think of that Carpentier video, and how much of what he did is no different from what much of the Indy guys do now. Only difference is, back then, no one else was doing it, so that made him special. Now, everyone does it, so who gives a shit? |

Yeah. Angle also had the advantage that he COULD legitimately beat guys much taller than him so it wouldn’t be so hard to suspend disbelief. I agree with Seph’s general point but I think it’s more the overall look and presentation than just the height that ruins it for me.

I am concerned a Seth/Becky vs Corbin/Lacey match will be a gateway drug to a Seth/Becky vs HHH/Stephanie match

I could see Shane vs HHH being an early contender for a WM match too tbh

When I was chatting w/ a former WWE writer one time in Twitter DMs he told me if the USA Network had their way RAW would always be about the McMahons/McMahon family drama.
The USA Network LOVES the McMahons storylines/being the central heel focus of RAW. |

According to the Observer, Vince's newest plan to fix WWE's ratings woes is to no longer have any wrestling go on during commercial breaks (at least for RAW). Last week's Best 2-out-of-3 and elimination matches on RAW and Smackdown was them testing out this idea.
According to PWI, WWE is also considering the idea of a round system for matches similar to classic European style wrestling. Similar idea when it comes to handling match breaks for commercials. Both plans revolve around the idea of making WWE shows more sports-like without realizing the actual differences between wrestling shows and sports games. Also likely won't result in WWE actually fixing their deep-seated booking issues. |

I noticed WWE wasn't using the titantron last night. Someone from F4W noticed it too and spoke with someone who was on the risers said they really couldn't see inside the ring during the cage mage and since the tron was off it was hard for them to watch the match.

While I thought that wouldn’t go back to this well, I’m now leaning towards them doing Brock vs. Roman at Mania too. Thought it would be like first FOX SmackDown, but with Vince not changing anything serious, I can see that and the mixed tag at Mania. Quote:

It's not.
People on Twitter at RAW tonight mentioned during commercials the IIconics came out to cut promos, same for The Revival and during some match the ring was turned dark and the wrestlers stopped and a commercial for WrestleMania 36 aired on the tron. |

If they really try and push this new rule and maintain it, I could really see it putting people off of the product. Both TV audiences and live audiences.
