Bring back the Mixed Match Challenge! the first one was good, the second was just bizarre lol. The way they're firing people, the main challenge would be not getting fired in the middle of it.
In addition to all the injuries, the second one got affected by WWE deciding to tie into their on-air storylines by having the final be at TLC 2018. Which then meant that anyone who was needed for a more important match got taken out of the tournament.

Honestly, his wrestling was always the least interesting thing he had going. His awful commentary and shitty tweets are the BEST thing about him?!! My god…. If he hadn't taken the commentary position, I guarantee you he'd have been shitcanned a while ago. |

I’ve never seen him wrestle and I can’t imagine any way I’d want to, unless he just happened to be on TV and I couldn’t change the channel from Raw. |

He just wrestled a very slow, methodical, and dry heel style. Think boring Randy Orton, but with weird leg submissions instead of RKO's. |

If he’s cleared to wrestle and begins to wrestle full time, then he’ll get released rather quickly.

Graves leaving commentary to do wrestling would be one of the worst ideas ever.
He won't last the first round of cuts.

His career ended relatively soon after I was first exposed to him but from his time as a wrestler that I did see he struck me as very, "We have CM Punk at home," in terms of gimmick while his matches were just dull.

Yeah, Graves was a solid enough hand, but nothing to really warrant being pushed at the level he was. Like if Alberto Del Rio got into tattoos and counter-culture instead of cocaine and knife-fighting. |

I wonder if they'd repeat the Rumble 2012 spot where the entire announce table were entrants in the match.

Dude would literally just come out looking hot and ratty putting his STAY DOWN knuckles together and I can't think of anything else he did. If the name Mr. Hands wasn't already claimed by something absolutely unfortunate that'd be him. |

I always thought he had the tools to be a good commentator, but he’s been unbearable for years.
Im glad he can return to the ring and I hope finds success there. I already want to see people hit him

Vince is probably salivating at the idea of making Graves his mouthpiece heel champ. Poor guy is gonna be crushed when he figures out Corey is an indie shitter

Well, I guess maybe we'll get to hear his sweet theme song again. If you're referring to Cancer Killing Gemini, I think he stopped using that and is using this: I wanna believe deep in my bones that Lizuka was ACTUALLY referring to this theme from 10 years ago. One of my favourites of the whole company at the time he was using this. |

We'll get the inverse of the feud we're seeing in AEW via Miz vs. less famous CM Punk.

Yeah, no, not really interested in seeing this.
Graves might be insufferable as a commentator, but he's likely to be the drizzling awfuls in the ring. The prospect of him actually getting a push beyond as an JTTS after nine years out seems just another reason not to watch.
If he can work as a manager, let him and Carmella be a thing onscreen and he can take bumps; other than that, though....

Have no interest in discount CM Punk possibly returning to the ring but if it gets him off commentary That's a positive Amen, brother. |
