Wow, Bob, wow. Fire walk with me.
Thank you friend. Main event was quite good this week. They did a really great job with the video package between Ziggler and Miz and the overall build for their match. It ended in a way that they could revisit as a feud later...assuming they don't have re-match after re-match between now and then.

Also, Sandow is the best drat thing. He owns his character and I hope he develops into something huge for this company. My fear is he just gets lost in the shuffle over the next few months. It's nice to see him against top talent like Cena next week, here's hoping he looks strong as he eventually loses.

Really liking that Bray Wyatt character. Not sure it would work on the big shows but it works real well in that smaller environment. Brodie needs to tone it down a bit as the goofy sidekick though.

Also call up Ascension now.

I have a feeling that Bray is going to get hosed over by the bigger crowds "What?"-ing him or chanting Huskey at him or something. There's no limit to how much a crowd can ruin good things.

If you were a woman in ECW they chanted, "YOU'RE A WHORE!" and if you were a man it would usually be "BORING!"

Which is why they named him Danny Doring.

At least booing and "boring" chants give some kind of feedback. What chants are just the audience making noise for the sake of ruining a promo.

That's my real issue with it, it'd be fine if it was to liven up a boring promo but they do it to EVERYONE. Like whenever someone pauses momentarily they shout it out and it's really thrown off newer guys before. Hopefully it won't affect Bray Wyatt since he just never stops talking, and takes really long pauses when he does stop.

They could break the habit somewhat by not having every single guy make slow, ambling promos where they pause every few words.

Saying that, R-Truth played off it perfectly during his heel run.

You know, I'd be less worried about my 16 year old daughter dating a successful 40 year old cartoonist than dating a 16 year old loser.

I mean, Jesus, kid, at least date a motherfucker with abortion money and house to have sex at where your mother and I don't have to hear it. Also, if he treats her poorly, boom, that asshole's gonna catch a statch charge.

Please, John K. Date my daughter... Save her from dating smelly dropouts who wanna-be Soundcloud rappers.
In all honesty, the idea of playing theme music underneath a promo is a perfect solution to the problem. That would drown out most of the audible chanting.

I know it's cool for crowds to be vocal, but sometimes its really annoying. The super dragon return in PWG was nearly ruined by the fans chanting "shut the gently caress up" at the Bucks as they cut the promo that lead into the big moment. If the person in the ring has a microphone let them speak, they're part of the show and the crowd isn't.

In a move that should amuse UK fan, Pac has a new WWE name, Adrian Neville. My first response was to giggle and think "well at least it's not a Gary Neville gimmick." Turns out, it is in fact based on Gary Neville.

Thanks for posting, I was busy this morning and also forgot what day it was. Loving Kruger's new music and mannerisms but I feel like he still needs to readjust his in-ring style to better match the new persona. That finisher has to go.

I also think Xavier needs to get a better finisher, that finisher seems more like a signature transitional move leading to a finisher.
