So long as it's done in the pink coat, I'm cool with it.

This #BadNews Barrett gimmick is WrestleCrap.

On a site I used to frequent, some of their posters legit marked out over Barrett, and I've just never seen it. Is it just bad gimmicks or can the dude nothing but average. That's all I get off Barrett, and I've tried to like him.

I wish people actually paid to see Bryan. He can make Randy Orton look like a million bucks. Just the night before, he was involved in a real bummy match. One night later, and Bryan is willing his way to a very very strong match.

He should have had the rocket ship long ago.

Strong RAW, I like the Brodus story, another watchable Divas match, good main event, hot six man in the middle. No real groan inducing stuff aside from Barrett's dumb gimmick.

That awkward HBK/Punk deal + the main event has me thoroughly convinced they will go through with Bryan winning the Rumble and then beat Orton at Mania.

EDIT - based on the Observer last week, with Cena hinting at something with Hogan, that also adds to the Bryan/Orton Mania match being very likely.

Meltzer on his audio tonight says he thinks the AJ Styles thing is a work. He says he legit has no contract, but seems to think he will re-sign (or has already done so) in January and this period without a deal working indies is just to put over the storyline.

Didn't ROH just do this with Jay Briscoe and it got over like a wet fart?

"I was told that this is the CM Punk storyline, but we're going to do it right."

Bryan Alvarez questions why ROH & DGUSA haven't pounced if he's truly a freelancer. Dave said they have reached out, and were given a dollar amount.

Adding to the mystery is one of those indie groups in Georgia he's booked with works closely with TNA, who sends talent to them frequently.

If that is the feud to fill time between now and Mania....bleh. Bork is a better heel than face.

It is odd that he's running a ton of random midwest indies but is deemed to expensive for ROH? I'll talk to some people and see what I can come up with.

RAW was really good last night.

They've been on a hot streak.

If only that would translate to the PPVs

It's only going to get worse with television rights fees blowing right past PPV as the #1 revenue generator, and moving all of the non Mania PPV's to the network.

Reach out to AJ Styles, and based on his number let's figure out if this thing is a shoot or work.

And if its reasonable, book him against ACH.

Raw was very hit ad miss by the way, some really fun stuff and some really dry borring shit.

Heard the Divas "match" was horrid.

Also, why did this go nowhere? Top 5 promo in the history of RAW:
