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

I see it as less beef with Demolition, (as Nikki's record breaking run was definitely beef with AJ), and more "let's give New Day a fun and funny thing they can add to their repetoire/skits.

Much like Santino Morella nearly beat the Honkey Donkey Man's record.

Santino didn't come anywhere close to beating Honky's record. But that doesn't detract from your overall point - him going for Honky's record and the Honk-A-Meter were a lot of fun.

Is it sad I still dig their music and the Illuminati titantron? I can't stand the Ascension as they suck but still..... cool song and vid. I did like when that one guy was a part of the new JOB squad or whatever they were called. I remember Heath, Bo being the bestest friend and YEEEEE. Also when the Ascension came back for their initial big time match on Smackdown and then screwed up their own finisher. That was hilarity. Ahhhhh Ascension.

Outside of Enzo and Cass there's no good tag team for them to lose it to (other than JeriKO but Owens is already a champ), and I guess they're reluctant to give it to E&C since they're still fairly recent call ups.

Viktor's actually a better worker than Ascension booking would lead you to believe. Konnor I think is never going to improve (if only YAH caught on from NXT). I do like their new look though.

When the drug test comes back positive for performance enhancing drugs.
Splitting the tag division was a mistake. There's only three good teams on Raw, and at this point it's hard to argue Gallows and Anderson are a good team anymore because they keep losing. So all you have are New Day and Enzo and Cass. Smackdown has Alpha, Usos (who are good now), Slater and Rhyno, Breezango, Hype Bros, etc. And some of those names aren't nearly on the level of New Day or Enzo+Cass, but they're certainly above Shining Stars, Golden Truth and whatever other teams are on Raw.

New Vince story, this time from Mr Kennedy

quote:

We were on our way over to Iraq, which is a really, really long flight. And we were actually flying from New Finland to Rammstein airforce base in Germany. This is like twelve hours into the flight, people passed out and lots of alcohol consumed. It was a C17 transport plane, a big, wide open plane. People are scattered all over the place. 90% of the people were sleeping. Vince, a sixty-five year old billionaire, was low-crawling around being super stealthy with a bag of hard candies tucked under his arm. He'd hide behind something, pop his head up, throw a candy at their face, then pop down again. They'd wake up, look around and see nothing then go back to sleep. Then he'd pop up and do it again. Just kept doing it.

I assume he meant Newfoundland but still.

if no one's been following along, and since this will have ramifications, TNA has until tomorrow to pay for their PPV scheduled on Sunday and TV tapings and Dixie has managed to pit the 2 factions (Billy Corgan and Aroluxe/the neo-Nazi Harris twins production company) that paid for the last few sets of tapings against eachother into a stalemate because neither wants to put more money in without getting their money back from the other one

I wish they'd decide to go full on face paint or not. The half-face paint thing seems weird to me. Go full Demolition or LOD, otherwise it looks so weird to me.

He shits his pants, and rather than being embarrassed or denying it (and demanding his subordinates do the same), he celebrates it, and uses it to harass his longtime friend. How can you dislike this story?
