I'd rather watch Booker T versus the Boogeyman at WrestleMania 22 on loop than watch Hogan crash the party again.

Meltzer writes some in WWE have heat with Rocky for taking a top WM spot when he's not a full-timer.

Don't those dumbasses realize his presence puts more money in their pockets?

No, they don't...they are incredibly dumb.

Another one of the complaints was, he shows up and he's not putting anyone over? Uh...what?

HIS ENTIRE PURPOSE HAS BEEN TO PUT OVER CENA. Year+ long feud with the hope of taking John Cena from star, to superstar...FIN. Everything else is background noise.

[JayDizzle]

Do I need to go out of my way to watch this?

I blew it off for college basketball.

Some of the spots were repeated from the second match (the arm work especially, but it made sense in the context that Punk's arm is Kayfabe held together by spit, gum and trainer's tape at this point), but the bout itself is good for a breeze through if you have time.

Other than Teddy and Ace using each guy to further which of them is the better GM (Ace), it screams "Title Unification" in the near future.

...shame Danielson's losing the belt at WM.

lol, apparently Conan O'Brien mentioned the Twitter war between Punk & Chris Brown...sided with Punk.

Who, in their right mind, would side with Chris Brown?

Any word on how Tyler Black is doing in the WWE's developmental ranks? Heard has been wrestling some house shows.

He worked a few (might have only been one) in December. So did John Moxley (I forget his WWE name).

You wont see guys get the call up right now, because it's WrestleMania season, so that is where all of the focus lies, so the roster goes into a holding pattern.

After WrestleMania, you get the draft (which is goofy because everyone works both shows anyway), and then they usually do a 'spring cleaning' where they cut some of the fat from the undercard. That's when you'll see new guys called up and put into the mix.

From what I read Triple H doesnt want anybody called up anymore without a framework in place of an initial storyline and direction. From what I understand, they love Moxley, and they think Black is ready in terms of ring work but will struggle with charisma and promos. I'm guessing he'll be another Justin Gabriel type who works the B-shows and does jobs on the main shows. His ROH promos were cringe worthy, and exposed why Gabe kept him quiet and never went all the way with him.

Right on.

Thanks.

Just checking up on the local guy.

[FedEx227]

I think he did the dark match before the Raw in Chicago, we didn't get there in time though to see it

[SHOGUN]

Tyler Black is dreadful on mic. He made Roderick Strong look competent.

Speaking of Strong, there was one point where I thought he was actually turning a corner with his promos and didn't need Martini anymore, but since he returned to ROH I haven't seen that from him yet.

[EmpireWF]

Roderick Strong is the shits. Never got his pushes at all, from 05-06 to this day. Blandest mfer around.

[BigBiss]

is there a re play of smackdown tomorrow?
