Not that Rock should be happy about this, but he should have known what would happen or asked Dave and been warned.

"Did Rusev kill that little racist man?" got a big laugh out of me. I hope they have Mark on more often

Completely OT, but I really enjoyed this week's Art of Wrestling with Matt Sydal. Then again, it's a lot of stories about how Matt Sydal went to Peru for ayahuasca but him and Colt has a lot of chemistry. Prob the best episode since Punk.

I liked when Alvarez talked about how putting Bryan in the match and then having him eliminated that quickly was dumb, especially if he wasn't gonna win, and then mentioned someone from the company told him "we didn't think about that"

I can't help but laugh about Dave being furious about Bubba Ray being a throwaway nostalgia entrant in the Rumble instead of as the Bully Ray character.

He's not wrong though - it's not even like they went back to the character he was playing when he left. He apparently did nothing but eat since he left TNA and they reverted him right back to the autist character he was playing in ECW. No one expected him to come back as Bully Ray, but something slightly more serious might've made sense. Then again it's a moot point since that character was way over last night, proving once again that no one cares about or watches TNA.

If it was a one night thing it makes sense for him to be the version of Bubba Ray that was most popular. If he ends up staying it sets up an easy heel turn. I'd love for him to replace Kane as the muscle of the authority.

WWE thinking their version of everything is better than any other version has always been a bugbear for Dave. Not sure why he gets so worked up about it.

Dave was only bummed because WWEs top heels are Kane and Big Show and with Bubba just being a nostalgia pop it means their top heels are still Kane and Big Show

this is going back a few days but Dave being perplexed at everyone voting NXT as the best show of the year is pretty funny. I think he's just depressed that "bog-standard hour-long wrestling show" is now so far above the standards of what RAW/SmackDown are currently putting out.

Yeah, he seemed perplexed that the state of wrestling is such that "decent-at-worst 1 hour show that mostly makes sense" is the torch bearer for good wrestling.

I do wonder how much the NXT specials skewed people's voting for NXT as best weekly show. Like if you take them out of the equation somehow, would as many people vote for it? For me, I really love the specials but the week-to-week show can be hit-or-miss. I guess I'd vote for NXT by default though, since I don't watch TNA or Lucha Underground.

WWE bringing Bubba Ray as Bubba Ray probably was mostly that it's a character that they own.

Cuz it means that they're dead set against giving people the best and most entertaining show possible with oatgan posted:Dave was only bummed because WWEs top heels are Kane and Big Show and with Bubba just being a nostalgia pop it means their top heels are still Kane and Big Show a situation like this being the current reality because of it, when we could be getting Bubba doing his Bully Ray character instead, which was one of the best and most entertaining heels in wrestling's recent history. It's also part of the mentality that leads to Bryan being eliminated from the Rumble so early and unceromoniously so their chosen next big thing can have all the spotlight.

Modern fans want instant gratification, they aren't patient enough to see how it will all work out, Daniel Bryan will come out the other end a better more rounded character, Roman Reigns what a hoss.
