Kingston / Jericho was so bad it broke the entirety of wrestling. Nothing makes sense, Curt Hawkins will be NXT Women's Tag Champions tomorrow. Hey if it means Curt Hawkins goes around yelling I'M THE WOMENS TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, I'm all for it.

Would be an interesting mix. Only thing is I don't know if they'd change the name at this time...as they are still selling merch that plays off the Breaker name. ...that's another thing I wonder actually: will name changes start to die down for newer hires? When HHH at his peak was in NXT it seemed to (Joe, Cole, others)...though some name changes still came and worked (Devitt to Balor, Kana to Asuka). I guess they can give Bron a “breaker” type nickname. Bron Steiner, the Breaker of Worlds(you could take or leave the second k in Breakker here). "The World Breaker" Bron Steiner then?

The universe needs to stop conspiring to make me watch Smackdown. I was thinking about skipping SD tonight because I've been really goddamn tired all day, but now I have to watch it.

The universe needs to stop conspiring to make me watch Smackdown. See, I'm tempted to watch it...just to see what crazy will go on. ...but tonight's also the debut of a new MST3K episode, and it's a Gamera movie they're doing. So even wrestling world shifting news like this isn't gonna do it.

Lol, most of my reasons not to watch WWE dispear at once, I'm all excited and of course the first change is bringing in Goldberg.
Oh well, understandable panic option. Just get things sorted out by the rumble.

WWE is backed against at corner. 2nd biggest show of the year..
Cena? He was just back.
Batista? Unlikely but Triple H is back in charge.
Taker? The dude is going out with a live crowd.
Fiend or Braun? Huge high profile returns, that might work.
Finn? Styles? Edge? or all three? Someone you can throw in there last minute and still have a banger.
The Rock? Never gonna happen, but stranger things have happened.
Austin? Why the f*** not?
Nah…. You get Goldberg again.
I couldn’t stand Goldberg 20 years ago. At least it will be short.

Looks like it'll be Goldberg, but Fiend would actually be a great return to use here. You dont even need to have him turn up tonight for it to be him. Just turn the lights out, play some spooky music and have stock footage of him on the screen.

Last time I’m leaving this place for as long as I have.
In a way…I get it. Vince was the one paying Brock as much as he was and having him have the schedule he has. You think a full power Nick Khan, or even a half power one, would allow that to happen with the other budget cuts? Not a chance.
He’s better off walking than being thrown out.

Can't say I'd be sad if I never saw a Brock match again (ESPECIALLY with Roman), even though I love his current babyface character.

Watch they go with a stunner and GOLDBERG is the man who ended the Reign of Terror.

People really think the things you want to see are going to happen like that? Everyone isn’t going to get their name changed. The Roman’s and Rollins’ won’t be depushed while others who were “misused” aren’t suddenly going to get elevated.

As an hour ago, WWE sent me an email saying Lesnar would be on Smackdown.

I hate to pull back the curtain but I can shed some light on this. Brock and Vince had a handshake deal going back to when Brock came back. When Brock shows up at the arena Vince has 15 minutes to give Brock his chocolate pudding pack or "legally" Brock's appearance is cancelled (much like how class is cancelled if the professor doesn't show up within 15 minutes.) Usually Vince would just be there waiting for Brock's arrival but obviously today was different. Brock was NOT happy when Bruce Prichard came running into the dressing room with both the wrong brand of pudding and wrong flavor. Bruce grabbed Chocolate Fudge by mistake because he was in such a rush when he realized the mistake that had been made. In all my years I have NEVER seen Brock this upset. He wasn't even really that mad just very disappointed. Brock understands that it's a huge production and that people are busy but Vince NEVER forgot him. He has zero confidence in the others to follow through with this. You just made me spit coffee all over my monitor.
