  1. Couldn’t find that thread about bad takes, so I’ll put this here. Turns out wobbling your head back and forth can give CTE.
  2. Is it too much of a stretch to think the reason Chris Jericho won’t take the hint and fuck off is because he’s trying to work through his AEW contract as soon as possible, in order to make the jump back to WWE? It’s the only thing that makes sense at this point.
  3. Can’t stop watching it. Unbelievable. Appearing like a God from the darkness. The way Pat can be heard giggling with sheer joy. The way the lightning strikes slow down, “FINAL BOSS,” flashes on the screen and then the music slows down to his heel theme. One of the best entrances of all time. Wade Keller reporting that Punk going, “Who chose you? Say his name!” was improvised. What did Drew ever do in this world to have an empty-headed dumb fuck like CM Punk to go out on national television and fucking go into business for himself. Forget allowing people to say, “wrestling,” and, “belt.” Forget allowing continuous camera shots that last longer than a minute. The true test of Triple H as a booker is going to be if he can keep this Punk and Drew thing on the tracks without anyone’s head falling off. I swear half the reason they’re flying Punk in to do commentary at Wrestlemania is out of fear that if he just sits at home rehabbing he’ll work himself into a shoot and lose his mind again.
  4. The way the camera kept getting it in shot, I refuse to believe it was an accident. Bloodline Rules on Night 2 needs to be the schmozziest schmozz of all time. Absolute bedlam. The whole roster out there. Brawls everywhere. Everyon’s covered in Cody’s blood. Eventually, the glass breaks and the trumpets roar. Stone Cold and John Cena do Avengers Assemble to help Cody overcome the odds, passing The Torch. Big win. Belt raised. Lift him on their shoulders. World record amount of pyro. Dogs kept at a safe distance.
  5. Imagine that entrance at Mania, with the stadium, the big stage, the pyro, tens of thousands of fans, Rock in trunks, as big as humanly possible, just before all his muscles fall off. We’re talking the greatest Wrestlemania entrance of all time. Is it scientifically possible to create actual lightning from the sky? It was that night.
  6. The exact same energy. Rock’s got a bigger, weirder looking head though.
  7. If we take as a given that the three hours will always be a killer, leaving Raw with a fixed ceiling of about 8.5 out of 10, I think that may have been an 8.5. The best episode of Raw in recent memory. Everything's a mess and the two biggest matches coming out of this show (Cody vs. Rock, Punk vs. Drew) aren't even on the Wrestlemania card, but fuck it. I simply cannot complain when we're suddenly thrown through a time portal and we get to see a chaotic, hot as fuck, 1997 version of current WWE. Most Raws ever since they went to three hours come and go and you remember none of it as soon as the credits come up. There's things on this episode I'll remember forever. Quick thoughts; They somehow managed to make The Rock's entrance even better! The way he walked out of the darkness in that opening segment as the lightning went off behind him is one of the coolest entrances they've ever done. Up there with Hangman and the Dark Order. Spectacular cinematography. The Punk/Drew/Seth segment was absolutely wild. I've no idea how much was agreed beforehand, how much needed to be smoothed over afterwards, or if people ended up throwing chairs and biting each other once they got behind the curtain, but that was the best thing CM Punk has done since coming back by miles and miles. Absolutely bonkers. Felt completely off the rails, wild and chaotic. Like a completely different universe to most WWE promos. Making a joke out of not being able to say Vince's name? Punk seemingly exposing himself as an even bigger hypocrite than ever thought possible by revealing he listens to Jim Cornette (gross)? Punk becoming my spirit animal by falling to his knees at the sound of Seth's music? Seth asking, "do you wanna know what I think?" only for Punk to deadpan respond, "no,"? This was off the chain. Through the looking glass. Look how good this company can be when everyone is allowed to tee off naturally! Good lord. Get that belt on Drew. Him vs. Punk at Summerslam is going to be the biggest thing in the world provided everyone keeps their heads on straight. Hopefully everyone had a lovely bit of muffin and hugged afterwards. There is so, so much money here. Sami losing, not believing in himself, and them tying the Gable thing up by having him play the Mickey to Sami's Rocky? Inspired. You can do it Sami! If I can change, and you can change, everybody can change! Becky Lynch knocking Dirty Dom's chin into the third row was unbelievable. Best Ricochet has ever looked in this company. Incredible heat angle at the end. Again, similar to the Punk promo, something completely beyond anything you'd normally expect from this company in 2024. The rain, the blood, the massive trucks with Cena and Stone Cold's faces on, seemingly teasing their involvement at Mania. This was fantastic. People calling Roman's stuff cinema for the last few years and then Uncle Rock turns up and shows what cinema actually is. Levels. Ball's in Roman's court now. He needs a home run between now and Mania. But yeah. Look at this fucking superstar. Fucking hell, Rock. You've made your point! Give everyone else a chance!
  8. Cody Rhodes after Smackdown’s promo, admitting to himself that he just delivered a dud, realising he’s floundering, recognising that he needs to get this shit back on track. ”Get me…A RAZOR BLADE!”
  9. DM Hunk taking it to another level. What a man. The muffins are in the enclosed pool area.
  10. I’ll go to my grave arguing that the Spirit Squad had so much more to give. A wildly entertaining bunch of idiots. Huge potential tragically cut short so that Hunter and Shawn could go, “LOL this box says OVW.” Still reckon there was money in the way they’d incorporate the trampoline into high spots, too. You could have made an awesome gimmick match out of that. I don’t know if the internet wrestling community is ready to hear it; but probably the best thing Dolph Ziggler ever did.
  11. The zenith of the failed babyface push for Roman Reigns will always be that Summerslam when he faced Brock and they teased Strowman was going to cash in afterwards, in order to stop the fans from hijacking the match. Then the moment Roman won the belt, they cut the feed, rushing off air. No cash in after all, suckers! Like a Montreal Screwjob only on your own audience. Vince probably ran and jumped in Earl Hebner’s car straight afterwards. Weird time.
  12. On the subject of people flying to the top of the card in record time, Bianca Belair made her main roster debut with a run-in at Wrestlemania 36, helping the Street Profits fight off Angel Garza, Austin Theory and Zelina. By Wrestlemania 37, she was main eventing with Sasha Banks. The only other one I can think of with a similar trajectory is Brock. Debuted the night after Mania 18, main evented Mania 19 against Kurt Angle.
  13. Saw clips from after Smackdown went off the air, with Cody giving away his shoes. If that man isn’t a babyface then I don’t know what is. He’s the fucking messiah. I hope Roman sticks around. It took him so long to find a character that actually clicked with the audience, I’d like him to go long enough that we forget the blue contact lenses and dreadful Wrestlemania main events where the production crew had to turn the crowd volume down. The dark days. The idea of continuing the Bloodline saga though? Fuck that. It’s already about six months to a year past its sell by date. nWo territory. We’ve already had the Bloodline Wolfpack vs. Bloodline Hollywood. Give it a natural, satisfying conclusion already.
  14. On the reverse front, Becky Lynch went from not even winning the pre-show Battle Royale at Wrestlemania 34, to winning the main event at Wrestlemania 35.
