I've seen See No Evil 1 & 2, and enjoy the Undertaker's performance in Suburban Commando.

Did you know Hulk Hogan is in an episode of the A-Team?

Did you know Matlock is a mark?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftaks3bZx_g&t=9m43s

I also liked how the funny zinger at the end of the pilot of Murder, She Wrote (ep 2) is her being told two wrestlers were found murdered in the middle of the ring in Madison Square Garden. Something like one was stabbed, one was drowned. Jessica Fletcher gets on the train not gonna bother with this, then she's like "wait... DROWNED??" and it freezes. Epic stuff.

Ok I've got one more, Magnum P.I. has an episode about wrestling featuring... Ernest Borgnine! http://magnum-mania.com/Pics/Screen_Caps_Season_Three_3.html#Three.9

(Hopefully he's in the WWE Hall of Fame)

This Magnum wiki is freakin' amazing. Check out this note on the episode:

15 Magnum mentions the "hot tub" at the estate again. Previously mentioned in Season Two's "From Moscow to Maui" (2.4), the hot tub will never be seen. Higgins mentions playing a game of billiards (with Earl) at the estate. The pool table was briefly seen in the "Pilot Movie", but it is never seen again.

If the WWE writers had the attention to detail of this Magnum PI site, we'd have no problems.

Problem with New Day isn't that they are faces. Problem is New Day is that they are faces who are dominant, show few weaknesses and are rarely tested in the ring or as part of an angle.

Watching them just effortlessly swat The Club away week after week isn't even remotely compelling, so people are clearly getting bored.

New Day isn't going to be less interesting without the titles. They're just keeping them so they can beat a record because WWE is petty and the current record holders are suing them.

Wait, what? Demolition is suing WWE?

Also, I like Dolph Ziggler when he wrestles but everything else is tiring. I hope Miz beats him clean. Dolph just keeps losing and asking for more chances, and I want that we'll to dry up because it's a very boring character arc.

I was both worried and excited when Dolph real-named Miz. Sometimes that poo poo can be lame (this is Phil Brooks talking to Paul Levesque!) but I bought it last night. And Miz going full vulture when he realized he could end Dolph's career was killer. I might be more interested in this story (and the overall renaissance of the Miz) than the world title, which is also awesome right now.

edit: also, no Kane. A++

The Miz can get away with being called Mike easier than HHH getting called Paul because he never used a false first name, but if Dolph went, "i'm talking about me, nick nemeth, the man," i'd be cringing like crazy.

Xavier is very capable of having good matches but WWE has decided it'd rather keep him mostly as a mouthpiece for some reason.

Xavier is great, but the dynamic of a huge brick shithouse and the high flying veteran is way more flashy than one of them with Xavier, though X could always be a more believable babyface in peril if they wanted to do a more traditional set-up for a tag.

I think Nick Nemeth sounds like a Bond villain, or maybe a James Bond Junior villain.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

On Dolph vs Miz. I have 2 possible ways they can go.

1) Dolph wins, with Maryse turning on Miz. Setting up a "this poo poo nearly ruined Rusev and Lana, let's see if we can't ruin Miz and Maryse" feud. But that is more a RAW thing to do.

or 2) Miz wins. Gloats and smugs it up. Mr Ziggles sadly leaves Smackdown, which leads to the triumphant return of Nicky! from the Spirit Squad.

Is RAW being written really lovely a story itself??


edit- Cena is very good on this as well. Way better format for the modern 15 minute promo.

Knowing what I do about Vince it wouldn't shock me if he told the brands to treat it like an actual competition and pull no punches.

That or Ryan Ward just doesn't care what happens if Vince gets mad.

Even if Ziggler does win, I feel the best way to use him is to have him cut a big emotional promo about how nobody loves this business more than he, then New And Improved The Champ John Cena to come out and murder him with his eye lasers.
