He is indeed adding gravitas to the proceedings. I don't know how to feel aboot that considering his time is going to be more limited than ever
now. I hope he at least gets the title one more time. Ever since the U.S. Title Challenge he's been amazing.

Perhaps one day, if we can find it in our hearts to do so, we can up the CENA SUCKS part of the dueling LET'S GO/SUCKS to CENA'S OKAY.
You did it, Nibbles. Now chew through my ball sack.

Out of town visiting my Dad right now and watching the east coast feed. Haven't watched regularly with him since the Attitude Era (and the odd
PPV during the modern era) so his insights are pretty telling, aside from the obvious "who the hell is that guy? Re: 95% of the roster.
"Who the hell is that Seth Rogan looking guy?"
(As KO is making his entrance) "What's his deal? Fan who won a contest?"
(Cesaros entrance) "So this guy is part James Bond part Magic Mike?"
"Wow. Bob Backlund is still alive. When did he start managing Nestle Quik Cena?"
(My favorite) "Is Miz's wive deaf?"
The catchphrase-a-palooza leading into the 12-man tag went over pretty well too.

Cena reacted to Bray the same way our dog just reacted when a beetle ran across the living room hardwood.

Crunkers, tell the Old Man he's awesome, *clap clap clapclapclap* and that Janerd approves of his commentary.
On second thought, just say he's IWC commentary approved. You don't need to get into the deets of who said it. Far too much to explain.

The draft chats are dumb, this isn't free agent recruiting. If you draft someone they are yours. Can the writers really be that disconnected
from sports?

So all it took was "WWE pretend-fighting with itself" for us to get new/different/interesting TV presentation? (e.g. Seth's Empty Arena
Promo, the Opening PreTaped Vignettes they've been doing on Smackdown, etc)
Or is this the result of all those Full Sail tv production grads getting a chance to play in the Big Leagues? (Did Bucky die and somehow we
weren't made aware of the fact?)
ETmake a little more sense.

That superhero comic cover-ish commercial they did for Battleground is pretty slick.

Was Bacon Coursin' (aka Corbin Bernsen, aka Baron Corbin) ever interesting? I mean in NXT before he got here. I'm asking honestly here,
because I'm not sure I see what 'potential' required him to be the ArMbAr trophy winner.

LOL. They skipped over the part where the ESPN graphic was written as "WWE mock draft".

He had his moments in NXT. His handling since his call-up has left a lot to be desired but he has proven in NXT that he can pull off having a
character. That character is basically what a lot of us project on Roman Reigns: pro football washout with a look and a chip on his shoulder, no time
for indy-darlings and an unearned superiority complex.

So he's completely generic and replaceable? I'm not being sarcastic,
really. I mean, a little, okay. But... He doesn't get to talk (presumably because he can't very well) and his matches are like Sunday
Night Heat filler. He's got "skinny fat" flab. Who does he have pictures of?

Don't worry, Baron Corbin will be a LOT more interesting when he shows up after the draft repackaged as a dirty nude man with a baby who hangs
out on a beach.
Edit: I love when they come back from commercials and someone's already in the ring with their music playing at a point where it rarely ever
gets to reach under normal circumstances.

Check. Mate.
Yeah, Corbin is kind of a load befitting his brown pants at this point. I had an affinity for the guy in NXT that not a whole lot of others shared,
but I stood by it. The promotion hasn't done him any favors, though. I still think there IS a bit of potential that isn't being tapped,
but he could only stay in NXT for so long before becoming an afterthought. I'd suggest watching Breaking Ground on The Network for a better
understanding of the prickish aura he's capable of.
Kinda hard to take the guy seriously with that belly, that hair, and those pant though. You might say his character needs more definition, some
growth, and something-something-not-the-brown-pants. Respectively, of course.

Does the WWE currently have enough Cruiserweights to flesh out an entire division?
Kalisto
Sin Cara
Neville
Tyler Breeze
Sami Zayn (??)
And I think that is it for now, right? I assume Tajiri and Spanky will be kept to make the division a little bit deeper. And unless they bring a bunch
of guys from the CWC to help out, I am not sure they have enough quality. I guess Finn Balor could come up and be the face of that division, but that
seems like it would limit him on some level, if you did that. Austin Aries? A surprise signing of Riccochet?
I am just not sure if they have enough wrestlers currently to make for an interesting division.

Counting tonight's multi-man tag match, John Cena is 0-3 since returning from his injury. Let's all ponder that, along with what horrific
ramifications it may have on the universe and reality as a whole, for a moment.

Corbin was the idiot version of Roman Reigns. Ridiculous clothing and phrases to try and look cool,and one-liners that didn't even make
senses(''You should have stayed in Ring of Honor'-said to the guy who's never wrestled in ROH).
As a parody of the typical home grown big man wrestlers, he is a perfect foil to the high number of normal sized world traveleres currently in the
roster.
EDIT: Also he had a fun little short run as the guy whose invincible streak ended as soon as he faced real competition, and thus tried to make up for
it by challenging everybody else who had an undefeated streak going on, from Samoa Joe to guys who had just debuted and only had two matches under
their wing. I feel a more developed version of this character could be really fun.

The crowd was pretty live tonight ... until the Ryder/Ziggler vs. Rusev/Seamus match. Not even Ambrose could get them back.

Is there really any doubt with all the authority figures at ringside that we're not going to end up with some screwy finish where Steph & Mick
recognize one guy as the winner, while Shane & Bryan recognize the other, thus splitting the title?
If not tonight then Sunday for sure?

Couldn't the referee just declare some sort of double-win that negates the title changing hands, or throw out the result? Either way! Eh. And
I'm getting soooooo tired of Ambrose's Wacky Rebounding Clothesline. It was alright here and there when it fit in with the action. When
he's actively bouncing off the ropes that way just for that purpose, not so much.
You did it, Nibbles. Now chew through my ball sack.
