I hope Bryan is just spitballing about the ER main event being Rollins/Orton/Reigns, because I'm really not eager to see a third straight title match be a triple threat. That's one area where you can legit say "going to the well too many times."

Let him punch Wade Barrett for a while or something.

Reigns vs. El Torito - Spear vs. Gore I legit guarantee that would get Reigns over like no one else on the roster.

Big Show is coming off his Andre Battle Royal win, he's just the sort of hot up and coming star for Reigns to prove himself against, especially in front of a Chicago crowd.

We kid, but you know if he won the title that's who his first opponent would be, that or Kane. Oh yeah, think Big Show is turning face soon? Since Randy congratulated him on his Win and then ran down Kane and Rollins.

Craig is okay except for the occasional "jesus christ craig" moment. We've gone too long without National Treasure Dr. Karl Stern chat. I need to catch up on his shows.

Sometimes his "get off my lawn" schtick gets a little cringeworthy when he gets into politics or cultural issues. For being a guy that spent 30 years in front of large groups of people, he's really misanthropic.

Which wrestler was it who apparently used to turn his head towards the crowd during beat-downs and whisper mournfully,"...help me...." towards them? I remember somebody telling the story to Cornette recently and it sounded like he didn't have a clue it had happened, which is both hilarious and terrifying.

Corny said it was very effective but he hated it because he was usually on the receiving end of whatever yahoo would try to help.

I don't know if anyone's gathered them, I've just heard them from all the interviews I've read. Cornette says that he hated working Louisiana because the people there (especially Cajuns) were the markiest of the marks, the Mark Wahlberg of marks. It was too dangerous.quote:“The fans in Lake Charles, La., were crazy. The Freebirds would get their tires cut, so they started driving to the police station and having the police bring them to the show. The fans then cut the tires on the police car that brought The Freebirds.

Cornette's epic 4-hour shoot interview with RF goes into a lot of detail about this. Watts specifically engineered fans in that territory to take everything super seriously, to the point of not smartening up the cameramen filming their local TV interviews, so the fans there were supermarks who believed everything they saw in the ring well after fans in other territories figured out that it was fake. This was a great strategy for drawing good houses in Shitsplat, Arkansas every week, but it was a bit rough on the talent.

I still don't totally get poo poo like this cause you'd figure most of these guys would've been in an actual fight themselves at some point. MS and similar promotions weren't exactly trying to be Pancrase so all I can think is that people thought pro wrestlers were just so much better at fighting that it looked fake as poo poo. Like how some people think Aikido is real because Steven Segal does it
