Ziggler wears the belt. Backwards, but he wears it. Kofi and Cesaro also wore the US title, as did Swagger and Santino. I believe Barrett wears the IC title too.

Well, he shouldn't win just based on how people get booked when they're champions, especially US Champions.

He also made a great case for why Rikishi running over Austin was the right move, which was pretty great.

I'm just a sick guy, I'm really just a dirty guy.
Ambrose will be booked fine as US Champion, their booking as a whole in regards to the Shield has been great and I don't think (hope) that they'll do similar to someone they've already demonstrated they're super high on. Even Cesaro was booked well for the first six months of his reign, it was just the last two that left a sour taste to the entire thing.

The only issue I see I who will take it off them, nobody's really been on their level (and before Monday, Cena wasn't even either), including Bryan, the Ryback, and Kane, all of whom float around the main event scene. A new group of NXT guys that mirror them, but faces? I dunno.

The Shield want to change the world.
The Family simply want to consume it.

Especially the part where he won the title and then lost matches Santino, Kofi, Justin Gabriel and R-Truth. He also lost to Sheamus which isn't bad per se, but he shouldn't be wrestling guys he can't beat.

That's the point: you don't want Ambrose winning the title then wrestling Santino, Kofi, R-Truth et al. Hence you don't want him winning the belt. In fact you don't want him losing. You want him winning and facing top guys. That's not something a US Champion does.

He's also lost on NXT against Sami Zayn though that match hasn't aired yet.

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
"Is there a Beatles poster in there?"

All this belt discussion shows that our gripes about the mid-card belts being meaningless are untrue, as they do have meaning. At this point, the WWE has done such an amazing job of burying both belts that holding either of them actively taints you with the aura of a loser. To possess a mid-card title actually makes you more of a loser and less over than someone without a mid-card title who loses all the time. Heath Slater > Wade Barrett. Even if you put it on Randy Orton and had him win every title defense, his overness would be actively harmed by possessing the US or IC title. The taint of jobber has completely infected those belts. I feel like Rollins and Reigns can get the tag belts and be okay, but Ambrose should stay far away from the mid-card belts.

If you go to the Board (yeah I know) there should be RSS feeds for the shows you can plug into podcast apps, you do have to authenticate with your user and password when you do though.

Just fyi, this has nothing to do with iOS or iTunes, you just need a podcast app capable of prompting you for the login/password. Most RSS feeds don't require authentication so a lot of podcast apps will skip that feature.

DoggCatcher on Android supports this. Costs money, but may be worth it. On iOS, I use Downcast for F4W shows. Works great.

Yeah, I figured this out last night. I found a workaround for now but PocketCasts claims they're going to be adding support for logins soon.

It's a Goog Day, yes it is!
With five panelists (the four regulars and a mystery guest!) and a considerable number of goofs, this was a very long edit. I think the result is worth it, though!



Topics: 1. More thoughts on Extreme Rules
2. The Genesis of Curtis Axel
3. Triple H's...concussion? Heart attack? Stroke?
4. Another awesome 6-man tag with The Shield and Team Hell No
5. Do we think WWE is really trying to build up the midcard titles?
6. WRESTLER OF THE WEEK: "Wildcat" Chris Harris/Braden Walker
7. TNA is having a really bad month, even by their standards
8. Make an elevator pitch for a show on WWE Network
9. FEUD OF THE WEEK: Test vs. Scott Steiner
10. How would a feud between Yokozuna and Kerry von Erich have gone?
