When it comes down to it, Matt Morgan is a lovely wrestler. He has been wrestling for about 10 years and still looks green as hell.

That's never stopped some people.

I've noticed this too, it's a bizarre paradox.

No matter how hard he tries Vince just can't seem to scrub the carnie from his psyche, you'd think he'd realise that he acts like a well off carnie being the smart guy he apparently is.

Most silly things in WWE can be put down to Vince being a self-loathing, senile and generally crazy old man.

I am surprised that the hardest I laughed during the Bryan and Vinny show wasn't the burial of TNA, but instead Vinny's burial of DGUSA.

I don't subscribe to WO, please elaborate on the DGUSA incident.

It really does seem that way. Even here in PSP you can tell that people are trying to come up with things to talk about in discussion threads because nothing really worth talking about is happening at all in WWE. It seems strangely slow around here lately.

There's only two things really, what's R-Truth going to do for his next silly segment and what's Johnny Curtis going to do for his.

There's also Shoot Promo, recorded live on wednesdays on /wooo/. A sort of who's line is it anyway variation for wrestling topics. It's got some funny moments, like in the latest one where I reveal myself to be Ultra Mantis Black.

Nobody listens to Michael Cole to form their opinions on wrestlers. He's annoying and his commentary has been lovely as hell and they're using his tremendous heat generating potential in all the wrong ways but calling Daniel Bryan a nerd isn't making a single person on the entire planet think,"Man I guess I shouldn't support Daniel Bryan, because that guy who everybody hates and thinks is stupid says he is a nerd."

You over-estimate people. Cole is such a constant presence that sometimes his stupidity gets through to some people eventually which colours their opinion on guys like Daniel Bryan, who is outside the WWE norm physique wise people aren't too sure about.

Besides, there's something so infectious about things like Bryan and Vinny's glee about heel Daniel Bryan.

The McMahons own something like 80% of WWE stock though, how worried can they be of other investors? I don't know much about the stock market so I might be wrong, but I figured with that much of the stock they could pretty much do as they liked

EDIT: and if they don't do something soon the stock will suffer, and suffer badly. Once Cena retires (and I don't give him longer than 5 years) if they haven't made a new top star or two they're pretty hosed. I'm not saying they'll go out of business, nowhere close, but ratings will go down to the point where rights fees will decline too. And that's a big chunk of their income

There's a law that allows the minor share holders to sue in the case of the majority shareholder doing something dogshit stupid. I'm not sure on the specifics, but it makes a lot of people scared of any short-term loss even if there's a potential for long turn gain.

Alvarez is the youngest-looking nearly-40-year-old I've ever seen. I bet he still gets carded.

honestly I hope I stay in the same boat, right now I'm 24 and I still look 17 and I'd like to hang onto that for a while.

Yeah, if I look that good when I'm 40 I've probably done very well for myself.

Also a world without Vince McMahon in it would be a lot less interesting. Which is why I'm hoping the Cyber-Vince initiative he funded with diverted funds from the XFL ends up bearing fruit.

well it was clean in the sense that no actual interference was made, but Austin actually came out and distracted Rock at the entrance ramp which allowed Hurricane to win with a roll-up.

He still put him over in general and actually ran a small fun program with Hurricane. Which HHH went an undid pretty quickly

A someone who knows gently caress all about MMA though I didn't really understand much of the brawl for all chat - if MRT did have expert fight sports knowledge about why Yoshi would beat Barrett in a fight it would have been cool to hear why that was. And the initial bracket (joke?) picks weren't really explained. As it was it seemed to be just 15 minutes of flipping coins and shouting.

IIRC Yoshi has boxing training and legit knocked out Sheamus after he refused to clean out the blender.

Bryan is really mad and Dave is trying to explain the history of guys who got over and moved business while getting the kind of push Bryan is getting while Bryan isn't. He then tries to say he wishes they'd push Bryan better and he might be able to draw with the right push but he's not moving numbers, and then Bryan flips out and Dave has to repeat himself. It has actually been pretty fascinating, I forgot the Jeff Hardy Rumble 08 example of a guy who was booked at the level Bryan is but still drew tons of money.

Hardy had been on the main roster for 9 years at that point, and it had been 6 since they first tested the waters with the Hardy/Taker match after being one of the tag team competitors when tag team wrestling was at it's hottest, so he still had a lot of advantages over Daniel Bryan. And Cena/Batista were injured so they had to have a plan B by necessity
