somebody has reminded me at least twice in the past week that kane/ryback was a match last tlc(and stairs) and I still refuse to believe that happened

at least I remember how bad the stairs match was and how lethal lou carper's only match as ic champ looked

It was at least better than Baron Corbin vs Bull Dempsey

There was an incident during tonight's WWE SmackDown tapings in Jacksonville, Florida where a family had to be escorted out of the arena by security. It appears the issues began when two young boys called Roman Reigns the "n word" during his entrance. This led to some comments from other fans in that section and the boys' mother didn't respond well to people talking to her sons. The mother then got into an argument with other fans, accusing them of taking photos of her kids. Security saw there was a situation brewing and the family causing the problems was removed.

What cable sci-fi/fantasy show is getting bigger ratings than Raw?

People need to get real about the business realities of WWE. There are real bad signs to be sure but they are not in the bad state people wish they were. This fantasy booking of the company's demise is just sad.

No see they need to break off all their multi-million dollar contracts and go small + niche

The rebound clothesline usually looks fine—it's no Springboard Stunner—it's just a stupid move to have as a regular spot in every match.

The clothesline is great

The rebound is beyond terrible

I'd almost give him a pass if he worked a different style wherever he ended up, but no, he's gonna be headbutting all the time and it's going to be mortifying.

He'd probably go to a harder style, if anything.

I never hear about them hiring actors. It's weird when there's a huge population of struggling actors, the promo thing might be the #1 problem in WWE and there's a lot of stage combat stuff that isn't wrestling

Because wrestling requires you to be extremely athletic and willing to destroy your body in a really crazy way

That's why I said WWE-PG, not just PG. The issue isn't the rating but the specific content they're going for. If they don't want blood and nasty-looking chairshots and barbed wire everywhere that's fine, that's acceptable, but they shouldn't also run PPVs like "tables ladders and chairs" and "extreme rules" every year if the only difference between them and something like battleground is really dumb stips. It's 2015 and they're still trying to market to a hardcore fanbase that the product just doesn't appeal to and they really need to stop.

The other problem is oh poo poo we have 12 events a year and we need to have the cheapest gimmicks possible fuuuuuuck
