I quit for awhile and told everyone to stop watching, but I was a hardcore alcoholic then.

Now I’m sober and I went back to casual viewing.

I’m a weird idiot.

I should stop again.

I've stopped watching the TV. Will catch a PPV then sort of stop paying attention but follow this thread and when WWE stuff gets on my Facebook/Twitter feed. I'm still subscribed to the Network as my Dad still watches the WWE and also bitches and moans about what's going on. He's more of a mark than a "smark" but he's like "How can Rusev lose? He's so strong and good? It's fixed that the Miz can beat him. I can't stand Miz." and stuff but he knows its fake. He still gets into it.

As far as hating hair, AJ Styles has awesome hair. Jericho looks like a weird old Rock-Dad with long hair now which would be awesome if that were the joke but I'm not sure.

I stopped watching WWE entirely over the last couple of months. I went from watching Raw, Smackdown and NXT to watching a parts of everything to just stop being interested in the product entirely.

Now on the other hand I have been watching more NJPW, ROH and CMLL. Before I was watching the big NJPW and ROH shows to just watching almost all of it. Granted that is easier since there is less of it but man is the quality so much better.

Also if you aren’t watching the CMLL Friday night Arena Mexico show you are missing out. Even if the matches aren’t always great (and they are often not) the atmosphere is amazing. Dancing girls in crazy costumes, midgets and the hottest crowds I have seen outside of like 70s and maybe some of those 80s shows in the South.

Putting it out there now, but PWInsider is reporting Hulk Hogan was spotted in Cleveland despite not having any events there. And is only a few hours away from PPG arena.

I hope to god they don't bring him back. :psyduck:

PWInsider is saying he has no events scheduled for that area, and he really wants back into WWE, and they've apparently been working on a return plan behind the scenes for awhile now, despite the fact that it would be a complete disaster if he were to return, considering very few wrestlers backstage want him to come back.

He is allowed to visit other cities without having events scheduled. That he is several hours away from the PPV location could be coincidental.

I can't wait for Hogan to return, with a bunch of chuds in the crowd chanting "We forgive you **clap clap clapclapclap**" and Vince will order Dunn to get a closeup of the crowd and he accidentally tightens in on a black guy looking really unamused. It would be perfect.

If he's doing something at Summerslam it's the biggest stage left to announce it in. Raw viewership has been sinking since the TV deal was announced, PPVs are your last real bet at those kinds of surprises to actually get an audience

Sunday morning betting lines update, courtesy of 5dimes.



Notable changes: AJ from -1025 to -850

A bunch of other lines have changed, but nothing to the extent that AJ/Rusev has. Skybet is also taking prop bets on if Lesnar, Hogan, etc will appear. Lesnar is at +110, Hogan is at +400.

Looks like the smart money is starting to roll in on a few matches:



Asuka/Carmella is now:

Asuka: -125 (from -150)
Carmella: -115 (from +110)

That was the biggest change. RIP Asuka's main roster career. Jobbed to a talentless worker, and likely never sniffing the women's main event scene again after this.
