Some are smart, some not so much. The buck stops with Vince though. He's the one ordering the re-writes, and at the end of the day their job is to write what he wants to see.

In a cry-off against Tommy Dreamer where the winner gets a WWE contract.

I think he loses it at Over The Limit. AJ screwing him over makes sense with No Way Out having all the wacky cage match stipulations and whatnot. Have him get his re-match in a match built upon the idea that she won't be able to get involved.

AWESOME main event, great effort by both guys and good win for KZ. I'm guessing he gets the winner of Aldo/Koch. They'd be crazy not to give him that match with how over he is, and being on a 3 fight win streak including Poirier and Hominick.

Serg, this is all leading to an epic AJ and Dixie vs. Serg and Madison mixed tag. Serg will provide the entrance music for his team of course.

Why wouldn't you intentionally miss that one and hope for an offensive board? Nice to see the Florida Gator f*** it up for them. Yeah, I didn't get that either with no timeouts. I'm not complaining though. Celtics got lucky to survive Doc's substitution patterns in the 4th.

CJ Watson just had his Marion Barber moment. You gotta pull that ball out instead of passing to a 45 % foul shooter

Besides the steroid issue, he's also got a knee that he just had a ton of surgeries on, so there's that. I like Mo as a personality, and he can get over if they're really smart and creative in how they book him. But, it's not like he was a monster name in MMA being a Strikeforce guy-albeit a top Strikeforce guy, and he has very little wrestling training.

Damn, sad news about Carl Beane. Everything I ever heard from people who met him was that he was a class act, and the type of guy who made you feel important when he was talking to you.

I'd have AJ get involved and help Bryan win the belt to try and get him back. The PPV right after this is No Way Out, so that would at least make it so there's a reason to have a cage or whatever wacky gimmick match they choose for the title. If it's filler and Punk moves onto someone else, that'd be really lame since there'd likely be a cage match or whatever for no reason whatsoever.

I thought the match was plodding, boring, obvious Brodus was going to win with the amount of offense Miz was getting in, and that Brodus selling Miz's offense looked pretty goofy. Naomi and Cameron looked good though.

As far as his matches, I felt like his big strength was being a big guy who could move around, bump if he had to, and keep up with the smaller quicker wrestlers. Having him work a slow paced monster style kinda negates all that.

Brodus selling for Miz and his mean face looks ridiculous.

I haven't seen this anywhere like PWI or F4W, so I doubt it. All the backstage reports I'd always heard on him were that he was this well liked, studious guy, only guy to pass some test on Dr. Death's autobiography down in OVW, etc.

Re: Not being enough of a draw, am I the only one who thinks that's kind of a self fulfilling prophecy? When you've had someone else pushed as the very top star for so long, there's probably not going to be immediate dividends business wise when you have someone else besides the guy who you've conditioned fans to see as the most important closing out the shows. Maybe Punk does take off, maybe he doesn't, but you won't find out if you're afraid to try and seriously commit to him (or any other World Champion not named Cena) being the focal point of the show with Cena as 1b for a prolonged period of time. Not just going back to your binky closing out the show at the first sign of trouble.

Wow, the last two guys that I remember using a shoulder-breaker were "The Blue Chipper" Rocky Maivia (was his finisher) and Greg "The Hammer" Valentine. And that's almost a 10-year difference. How about the old knee-breaker? Ric Flair used it all the time to set up the figure-four. You hardly see that anymore. Or an atomic drop? Or the "ringing of the ears"? Stick your opponent's head between your legs, then just jump up and down. (Classic Junkyard Dog move.) I remember Burchill using a shoulderbreaker as a setup move when he first came in and was using the fujiwara armbar as his finisher.

Powerbomb ban as well? Or is it just out of fashion? Does anyone do one now? Batista did, and Swagger had the gutwrench. Does Swagger still do that at all, or is it all Ankle Lock? Swagger still does the gutwrench... when he's actually booked to win a match. Didn't it take him about 500 gutwrench's give or take to beat an injured Ryder?

RIP, I read that's 8 members of the 94 Chargers dead by age 45 now. Scary stuff.
