    Can we tab the amount of times "lunatic fringe" is used while we're at it?

    And I noticed that Seth's hair was super frizzy at Survivor Series. Makes sense now.

    Although this really is a weird fit for her. they're trying to argue the WWF was a small business that Linda (CEO for most of the time Vince owned it) grew into the global business it is.

    Granted Vince (and, by extension, Linda) grew the company big time but it was the New York Territory based out of the most famous sports arena in the world. they had a lot of built in advantages.

    Not to mention their history is built on shutting down and buying up the smaller competition around them.

    It's funny is all.

    Ben Carson is head of HUD and has no qualifications at all, so I don't think it really matters to Trump.

    I mean the crowd has been watching wrestling from 7 to 10 and you decided to give them another hour of the most boring mat based wrestling possible two weeks in a row.

    Tape the show from 7pm to 7:50. Superstars or Main Event isn't even worth the trouble. TBQH 205 live has another week for me and i'm probably finished with it myself and in that case who gives a fuck

    I remember watching this match as a young man... it was one of the best matches of young bankz childhood. Perfect was going for the leg drop to the nut sack of Brett. Brett catches the leg and turns it into the sharp shooter. Find the match on the Network its worth the watch

    Heh, no offense bankz, but you honestly think I haven't seen that match before? That's also a favorite of mine from childhood, had transitioned off Ultimate Warrior to Bret being my boy pretty much as soon as his singles run started. Used to walk around the house doing his little hand gesture thing.

    my wonderment had to do with the frizzy hair

    and on a somewhat related note, what's everybody's lineage of favorite wrestlers?

    for me:

    -Ultimate Warrior from the time I started watching, to I guess a little after WM VII
    -Bret Hart once he got his singles push, although I remember going through periods of Undertaker when he turned face too, which is funny because he literally scared the shit out of me at first
    -Shawn Michaels, I remember really wanting him to beat Diesel at WM XI, but I don't think it was official for me until Sid powerbomed him the night after, and it's basically been HBK ever since. Did go through a period of RVD during his absence though.

    As far as recent times go, don't think I had a favorite until Seth, who's been overtaken by AJ now.

    According to the Wrestling Observer, WWE has pulled Jerry “The King” Lawler from all regular programming, which had included the weekly Monday Night RAW and SmackDown Livepre-shows. Lawler is still under contract with WWE, but will only be used going forward on “special occasions”.

    Amy Dumas, better known as former WWE Women’s Champion Lita, was also pulled from the same duties

    I don't think he's getting a full time pre-show spot. I read somewhere that WWE is going to bring in random people now. Like Coach and I saw some other names but don't remember now.

    Never noticed, thought she was great at breaking down the psychology of a matchup and bringing up relevant points, actually gave the matches a bigger feel to me. Only saw her on preshows for ppvs though.

    So with Mickie James signing with WWE, does this mean Magnus will be showing up in NXT soon? I would love Roode to take the belt off Naka after a lengthy feud and then have Magnus show up. Those two could put on some great matches.
