why is Roman "Protected?" he's not a champion... He withdrew himself from the draft, as per Heyman last night. That was the most WTF thing. You can just withdraw yourself from a draft? Even better he didn't withdraw the bloodline, just himself.

We won't be past the PG era until JBL is no longer poopy but rather ... crappy.

I did like that Carlito played it up more like he was panicking. He attacked Dragon Lee ostensibly because he wanted the Wrestlemania match, that's why he rushed to tell Rey. However, when it didn't work out, he just kinda left it behind him and continued playing the role of the good soldier. Now he knew that they'd seen the video and that was over and he wasn't really sure what to do. Some men would have tried to explain their actions but Carlito spent most of his WWE time as a heel. So, he attacked them to give him time to run away because he didn't want to hurt them worse and he was panicking. To me it makes a twisted sort of sense why he ran like a scalded dog.

I was rather underwhelmed by the draft portion, glad to see I'm far from the only one. It's funny, several stories advanced and yet they managed to make it feel like nothing even happened. Also, there was one point where we got a commercial break, came back for 3 minutes (I timed it) and another full commercial break. They can't even keep the main event commercial free. People are probably tired of my whining about commercials but damn I can't take this. 3/10. Maybe it’ll change on Netflix to some extent? Smackdown will probably have a similar amount of commercials on USA, though. The real solution is DVR, though. I can’t imagine sitting through the commercials live I work nights so I'll watch the shows the next morning on sportsnet. I am able to fast forward through the commercials. I just find it really jarring that every single match has 1-2 commercial breaks, often just as I'm getting into the match. Then there's no effort to catch people up on what happened during the break most times. It reminds me of watching latter day WCW, but even WCW never got this bad with commercial breaks. What kills me though is they do it on Raw, Smackdwon and NXT. Level up seems to be free of it. I got a one month subscription for sportsnet to watch mania and some of the shows to see if I want to get back into it full time and I just can't.

Also, I never would have expected the lady with the Yacht Persona to have so much drip. In a faction that regularly outshines the roster, she outshines the group.

Well they worked past their murder phase at Wrestlemania to be fair.

I figure based on the video package they'll play up the business persona.

Jokes on YOU, the contract was signed by Johnny Ace and he's an idiot so it's not as Iron Clad as you've been saying. Time to start crying on command and dressing up as the new year's baby... Is that why the forum broke last night? I was worried Elon had bought FAN and fired all the people responsible for keeping the site running. Johnny Ace would be much better than that at least.

He’s young enough that he can be the face of the company for 5 more years if he’s still moving numbers in that time period. Have to see it play out, though. Roman turning face will push Cody as the most popular face I would think. The bright side for Cody is that Roman is never around, so even if he passes Cody, it'll be little danger to Cody's status.

Both He-man and Transformers remained popular long after their original runs. I wasborn in 83, yet I was definitely watching episodes of both on TV long past ther original end date. Both were also completely transformative (no pun intended) to the TV landscape in the 80s even after their original run.

Yes that's right. There's gonna be a layoff... on caffeine! Caff-free coffee only in this office! Jokes on you, I don't even like coffee.

I've been told I'm like a big teddy bear. I'm 6'2, over 300lbs, though apparently I don't look over 300lbs (or so I've been told)? Clean shaved, can't grow a beard to save my life. Blue eyes. Brown hair, though a few greys have appeared.
With friends I'm silly and fun and crack a lot of jokes. At work and other places where I'm not comfortable, I tend to be much more reserved. I generally try to be kind to everyone. I keep finding myself in positions of leadership whether I seek them out or not. Currently, I'm a night shift supervisor. This means that I'm usually tired from working long hours on nightshift. Lonely. I love spending time with friends but I also need alone time, introverted extrovert I guess. I'm sometimes too quick to apologize for something that may or may not be my fault.
I love comics, sci-fi, fantasy, board games, rpgs, videogames, puzzles and other stuff.

I'm currently blocked in at work by a truck unloading flour and I'm trying to go home for the day. If it were just 2 feet back of where it is, I'd be able to get out.

Jazmyn Nyx with her greatest performance yet last night: The only thing it was missing was a "tell'em SteveDave!"

That move was a thing of beauty. I rewound just to watch it again because I wasn't even sure of what I'd seen. Even seeing it in gif form is something.

I really like Becky but it probably would have been best to go with someone experimental. I wonder if it was Drew or Seth with the consolation title if things would have gone different. Perhaps they felt two new untested champs was too much? However, they have no shortage of stars to counter that.

That was an enjoyable match. Sadly I accidentally got spoiled that he was winning but it was still a great match. I enjoyed Trick playing on the fact that Ilja had beaten him several times before by adopting some of Ilja's own moves. Often when a wrestler tries to use the other's moves it's more of a disrespect thing. Here I felt like he was trying to up his game and knew that these moves had put many including him down, so he went for it.

Does Vic Joseph understand how commercials work? Most of the time right before a commercial he says something like "don't miss a second of this action!" or "You won't miss a second of this action". Then you come back from the commercial break and he's saying stuff like "as you saw during the break". Maybe he's talking to Booker? Maybe he doesn't understand that during a commercial break we don't actually see what's happening?
