This confuses me... just tell me what time in EST Raw will be done taping, so I can decide to read spoilers and not bother watching.

Roughly three hours from now if 7 GMT is correct.

EST is -5GMT, so RAW would end around 5pm EST, wouldn't it?

EDIT: Actually, it's EDT currently, so it's only -4 GMT. Which would make it around 6pm EDT.

It's also on BST in the UK, so 5 hours is the time difference, though idk when the raw tapings actually start here.
E: Ticket site says 7pm start so I assume that'll be a superstars + RAW 4 hour block, so 11pm finish which is 6pm EDT

It would Hogan-ize his hips to be doing that legdrop with any regularity. It only really comes out during PPVs

Yes, he only does it slightly more often than his 'rana at this point. It was a frequent thing back in '03 when he was doing it more as a diving Famouser.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
I've seen the top rope leg-drop in a tonne of main event matches with Cena, so I wont say it's something he busts out every match, but it's not something that shocks me. But the thing is, as brutal as it looks, I can only think of one recorded injury from it, apparently there's two but I know one.

Cena got power-bomb countered by Batista that injured his neck, that is the one injury I know happened from that move. Apparently Rocky got hurt by it too, but yeah, for as brutal a move as it looks I can only think of the two incidents, only one I'm sure on.

Bob Holly decides to be grumpy on radio apparently

quote:

Bob Holly appeared on The Shoot radio show yesterday for nearly one hour to talk about a variety of topics including why he thinks John Cena should "shut his trap" about younger guys stepping up, if he deserves a spot in the hall of fame, thoughts on Roman Reigns being the next big star and more. Here are a few highlights, you can check out the full interview at http://www.morelikeradio.org/the-shoot-may-18th-2014/ , it starts at the 1 hour mark.

Why Dolph Ziggler should be a world champion:

"I love this guy. He is the best talent. He has everything it takes to be number one. They (WWE) sit there and their always preaching that you gotta have the heart, desire and will. You gotta work your butt off and on and on and it's like Sheamus was the world champion within six months. How did he deserve to be world champion? Don't insult the fans intelligence by telling them it takes this this this and this to make it to the top when it doesn't. It's Hunter's choice or whoever is at the round table. It's their choice, but Dolph Ziggler does sells tickets. How many times does Dolph Ziggler have to step it up and say hey look at me? Every time he's stepping in the ring he's saying look at me look what i can do. That guy steals the show every single night at house shows, I will guarantee it."

The WWE Hall of Fame:

"They try to make that Hall of Fame legitimate. But if you notice, to me it's politically driven. A dead giveaway is Hunter wanting all of his little buddies, his little circle first. He's taken care of all them. But the thing is, how can you put Lita in the Hall of Fame? Not saying she doesn't deserve to be there, but how can you put her in there before Chyna? Chyna is the first and only female Intercontinental champion and that's what drives me nuts because their trying to make this a legitimate hall of fame and it's obvious they pick and choose who they want in there. If this was pro football or basketball or anything else, Chyna would be in there." The host then mentioned her not being selected is likely due to her Adult movie roles and publicized issues with drugs and alcohol to which Bob replied, "you look at all the guys who had drug and alcohol problems and they get inducted, come on. She's done porn so what, who cares? The thing is, she gave a lot to the business and she was a big deal. I'm not defending anybody as to what they choose outside of the wrestling world, but what she gave to the wrestling world was really big."

Daniel Bryan:

"I'm glad he won the title. He's another one who worked his tail off and he deserves it. I don't care about his size. Some people do but it shouldn't be that way. Wrestling isn't real, so why should it matter? I think he deserves to be world champion, despite his ups and downs trying to get there. I'm sorry to hear his dad passed away. With the neck surgery though, he needs to stop doing the missile dropkick. Every time i saw him doing that i was like that has got to hurt his neck because it whiplashes your neck. That's another one he needs to stop doing in addition to the headbutt. My advice to him is enjoy the ride. If they strip the title from him and he never gets to the point where he gets it back, he had it, he made it, enjoy the ride from here on out. He's still making good money. His merchandise sales are through the roof. Just enjoy the ride, have a good career with WWE and don't do those two moves."

I was told that ACH and Rocky Romero will not be getting offers at this time.

I'm sure Stephanie would very much prefer Chyna never get into the HoF, but it's definitely not happening so long as Chyna is still doing porn.

I don't see Romero ever getting offered and the ACH thing is no surprise because I assumed from the get go that this was one of those deals where they want to see him and tell him what he needs to work on for when they offer him down the road.

Being PG and all now, I doubt any Diva that did Playboy will get in the HoF, let alone Chyna, even if she did stop doing porn.

Had my fingers and toes crossed for Steen. He's very confident and charismatic performer but in WWE he can't swear, will have to cope with reduced high spots & brawling on the floor, banned from interacting with the crowd.

Considering what Steen said after losing to Nakamura, this isn't surprising. I kinda hope they make Mack and Steen a tag team if they don't do something with Steen and Zayn's history.
