Random Thoughts III.

I think the suggestion that the big show/ billy Gunn team be called ‘double trouble crap on a stick’ was the most apt

[HarmonicGenerator]

I just appreciate the fact they were so concerned with their team having a name. These days they probably wouldn't bother, or it'd be 'Team Billy Gunn and Big Show'.

[Jazzy G]

They'd be Big Ass nowadays. 

[SaitoRyo]

Or 'The Ass Show'.

He'd lost his Mr Ass name to the Right to Censor. So they'd have had to be called The One Show. And I cant imagine that ever catching on.

Just saw that Savio Vega's going to be at Survivior Series and my first thought was "who's injured and needs replacing?" but it's for the farewell thing for 'Taker.

[WyattSheepMask]

Are people believing this “farewell” for Undertaker? Or is he just going to wrestle again whenever they can go back to Saudi?

[Merzbow]

I believe if Vince went "Pal, we need you for Wrestlemania" he'd be back in an instant.

If he said "Pal we need you on a house show. Elias has got the shits." Watching his documentary series, he seems to change his mind more than his offensive redneck t-shirts.

He's kind of ruined his aura a bit for me. "First Time Meeting the Undertaker" show on the Network was actually cringe-worthy. His gimmick worked in the 90s and until the 2010s but he's a total channel changer for me now. He should have legit retired years ago.

They've kind of milked it a bit too much for me. Perhaps if there had been a proper good bye Infront of fans already I might feel differently but as usual it's becoming a bit too much now and the aura has definately gone.

Quite funny how it went from 'The Undertaker never gives interviews or breaks kayfabe' to him being all over social media, on about three different podcast/interview shows a week and now he has multiple out-of-character documentaries on the Network as well. 

The bloke's been retired less than a year and it's probably the most I've seen of him in about a decade. 

I have enjoyed the documentaries and there's clearly a lot more they can do with him, but they're burning through content quite quickly.

I've no idea what subscription figures are like this year, but if the lack of live atmosphere is hurting them then I could imagine them being pretty desperate for Network incentives.

Might as well milk the old fucker for all he's worth before he starts pushing a GoFundMe for the next Kyle Rittenhouse.

I'm fully expecting Styles to interrupt him before he says a word, maybe the big basketball fella knocks him down with a boot or something, and off we go to Mania.

yeah, that's pretty much my expectation - AJ hides behind the big lad to interrupt the ceremony, to set up a "proper" retirement match at Mania. Until the next one.
