The true tragedy of all the wrestling deaths is not that fans are deprived of seeing great wrestlers who should have performed on the big stage longer. Wrestling is an assembly line business, and there is always somebody new to fill the spot and except for the most ardent fans, most of these people become vague faded memories. The tragedy is the families they left behind. Their lives aren't of the assembly line variety, and there is no replacing the missing part. And if the children left behind are young enough, they don't even get the benefit of the vague faded memories.

Ah jeez :smith:

WWE Main Event tonight features Bray Wyatt, Sami Zayn, and most importantly, Curtis Axel!

I would like to note that I forgot he wasn't Michael McGillicutty anymore until the announcer said his name.

Video package? Looks like they're getting ready to call Sami up.*

*I hope, but know they probably won't because who needs more entertaining faces about the place?

Neither Cole nor JBL is that bad on Main Event/Superstars. It's almost like they don't have an old man shouting in their ears to shill the Network and fight amongst themselves over unrelated angles from half an hour ago...

Also JBL put over Sami, even pointing out Sami's shoulder was up and the ref missed it, despite Sami being the facest face to ever face. Vince is wonderful on screen, legendary even, but he really is the worst thing in WWE otherwise.

I don't know, JBL's bitching about Tyson was getting annoying.

Nice finishing sequence on that one. I'd have liked a Sami win but I love both of these guys so whatever.

Something I noticed over the course of the match was that the crowd gradually got more and more into it as it went on. It's amazing how that happens when you let two guys have a good match, even when they were unenthusiastic about Tyson and unfamiliar with Sami at the start.
