I don't know why I ever listen to Les Thatcher talk about stuff but holy poo poo on this week's wrestling weekly he basically said "if Bryan wants to keep his wife safe from Kane he should leave her at home. Or if he has a bus lock her in there."

Like, gently caress dude :psyduck:

I dunno, that seems like a pretty good idea. If you don't want the psychopathic mask man trying to drag your wife awkwardly under the ring, don't bring her to the places that said psychopathic masked man works.

Pisscast: HR Giger, who designed a microphone for Korn's Jonathan Davis one time, died today. If Giger could've designed one single iconic wrestling prop from wrestling history (.ie, Cornette's racket, Honky's guitar, etc) what should it be?

My god, I just realized that last week's Pisscast was pretty my middle school self's dream show. Korn and wrestling were pretty much my two big things back then. Come to think of it, I think I still have a Korn shirt that I got in eighth grade.

He supported his friend, Daniel Bryan, when he needed him the most even buying his bad t-shirts. Thank you, Asparagus, for all of the work you've done and rest in piece, sweet pup. Oh yeah we talked about wrestling too.

Daniel Bryan interview with Jericho is pretty good. Just two dudes who share the same passion discussing wrestling. Also tells us that we narrowly missed out on The Tag Team featuring The Brian Kendrick with The Bryan Danielson. Kendrick was released just before Bryan got signed.

Just started listening and found it rather ominous that WWE has started giving personality tests to their top guys, as I can only imagine they're trying to create an ideal profile for a "top star" that they'll then apply to new recruits, discarding any who don't fit their preset notions.

Though to be fair, Bryan scoring 0% in the "lust for power" category is probably going to skew their results somewhat :laugh:

I agree, but it's also the type of thing Corporate Types like to put a lot of stock in.

I think it's more like the kind of things big corporations do to make some middle manager in HR feel useful. Still I found it funny that the guy who put in so much time on the road, sleeping on floors, etc to wrestle in front of a handful of people for pennies is lacking in ambition.

WWE Booking Committee Steps to Success:
1. New guy debuts, feature him on TV
2. Have him beat some people
3. Give him his first shirt
4. Put a mid-card belt on him
5. Make him lose every single week on TV
6. He's not over? gently caress this guy he sucks

Yeah I wonder what happened with Big E. Only thing I can think of is that period of time when he kept busting guys lips up with his running charges? Getting a rep of not being safe or "not knowing how to work" can be a pretty quick death to your career in WWE.

he stopped being Cena's lifting buddy, Cesaro is now. Although supposedly Cena really wants to work with Big E, so he'll probably be facing him at SS or beyond.
