Remember the amazing song "Rasslin" performed by Glen Goza? Well here's another video of Glen performing the song, only this time he forgets the words to his own song and gets booed out of the building lol. It's hilarious.

Dailywrestlingnews reports that Vince McMahon was apparently high on ROH wrestler Adam Cole.Vince reportedly wanted to sign Adam Cole, but Cole’s contract with ROH doesn’t end before 2016. We can expect Cole to be another one of the big names that will signed in the early 2017.

Just saw the Ospreay vs Richochet match. First time seeing either guy, saw it cuz of the hype. Was an amazing spectacle given the day and age. Love the different form of wrestling that it is. Obviously it wasn't "believable" in like "wow this is a real fight" but believable in the sense of watching a movie or playing a video game and 2 guys with awesome attributes and skillsets match up and play off of those vibes and know each other so well and counter each other counters and do holy shit moves the whole time. Enjoyed how it was mic'd up and I didn't have to deal with commentary, it was just 2 guys painting their own canvas and telling their own story. Scintillating stuff that I'm happy to have as its own entity and not be in the WWE, because otherwise it would no longer be unique. What helps with these 2 is unlike say a 140 pound Juvi vs a 120 pound Rey Misterio is these lads look like they can hurt you. Very believable cruiserweight hybrid types. A lot of fun to watch.

Rumor going around the net at the moment regarding NXT's future involves the WWE considering the idea of canceling the brand/promotion.
Basis for the rumor revolves around the WWE suddenly pulling NXT Takeover: Brooklyn 2016 off of their Ticketmaster schedule leaving just the upcoming Takeover: The End as the only NXT ppv left.
People have been asking the Observer's Dave Meltzer about it and at the moment he's unsure about why it was done.

Calling bull on this one. NXT's been growing exponentially, and it's clearly doing its job in making stars who are ready for the main roster upon their premiers. Unless WWE really is as stupid as we all think they are, and actually do in fact hate making money, there is no way they're actually doing this. The Takeover Brooklyn event being cancelled was likely just something to do with the venue or something.

According to WWE officials, there is nothing to read into the sudden disappearance of the NXT show over SummerSlam weekend from the WWE and Ticketmaster schedule.
The show was scheduled for 8/20 at the Barclays Center, the first of three straight nights WWE was running the building with NXT, SummerSlam and Raw. All three nights sold out last year, and last year's NXT show drew easily the biggest crowd in NXT history with more than 13,000 fans.
On Tuesday, WWE officials said that Ticketmaster would be updating the page with new logos and information and that the show is still on.
When it appeared that the next major show had disappeared, there were performers in NXT concerned yesterday because they haven't been told anything, and the 6/8 TakeOver show is billed as "The End".
Update to the recent NXT rumors.
While nothing is even close to happening with bringing in Bill Goldberg to WWE in a wrestling capacity, 2K officially announced Goldberg’s inclusion as a character in the WWE 2K17 video game, made public last night in an ad that aired on RAW. As discussed on Observer Radio, this opens up intriguing possibilities for a return match based on past history with Ultimate Warrior, Brock Lesnar, and Sting appearing in 2K ads. He did an interview with IGN you can see here. WWE definitely wants you to think that Goldberg returning is a possibility.
Link to the IGN interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzYYZObjnUA
There is renewed interested by WWE in bringing back John Morrison.
He is someone Vince McMahon has asked people around him about, at least to find out if he’s under contract to a wrestling organization. Morrison is under contract to Lucha Underground and it is not publicly known when a deal would even be possible.
Morrison, who performs as Johnny Mundo for Lucha Underground, said in January that he could see himself returning to WWE one day.
“When I was at WWE I wrestled everyone on the roster and I left because I felt it was time for me to go,” he told Channel Guide Magazine. “I did have plans on going back at some point. I still think that could happen. You never know what could happen in professional wrestling.”
If you have not seen the Will Ospreay vs. Ricochet match from the Best of the Super Juniors tournament that everyone has been raving about of late, New Japan has put it up absolutely free on Youtube.
Link to the match: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TgbxaQcheQ
Paige beat Summer Rae and Jack Swagger beat Viktor of the Ascension at the Superstars tapings before Raw went on the air last night. Viktor of the Ascension is currently being rebranded as "The Demonic" Victor, with different face paint. His tag team partner, Konnor, is currently serving a wellness policy suspension.
The 2 hour RAW replay Friday night on SyFy did 403,000 viewers and was the top rated show of the night for that network. This would be a replay of the May 23rd show. It was down from last week, which did 467,000 viewers.
One of Cody Rhodes' first matches on the independent scene will be on what is traditionally the biggest independent show of the year in the U.S.
Rhodes will be facing Kurt Angle, one of the names on his bucket list, on 8/27 in Wappingers Falls, NY, at Dutchess Stadium for Northeast Wrestling's annual "Wrestling Under the Stars" event. The stadium show has featured over the years the biggest independent stars available, including names like Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan, and usually draws in excess of 3000 fans.
Rhodes, by the terms of his WWE contract release, will be allowed to start working under his name on 8/19, and earlier this week, he posted a bucket list of what his goals were. Another of his bucket list items, the Battle of Los Angeles put on by PWG, is usually held at about that same time each year.
Corey Graves has been teasing a move to Smackdown, which would be a good decision. If that's the case, he'd take the slot held by Byron Saxton, who would be exclusive to Raw.
According to Ringside News, Vince wants The Undertaker to appear at WWE SummerSlam at the end of the summer. He did work the event last year in a match with Brock Lesnar, but he’s apparently not willing to work SummerSlam this year; at least, that’s the impression. Undertaker has not returned any of McMahon’s phone calls regarding the situation ...
He is reportedly telling those close to him that he is not willing to work another match after McMahon asked him to lose to Shane McMahon at WrestleMania. Undertaker refused to job to the boss’ son, which resulted in the weird storyline result we ended up getting. Due to the issue over the match, Undertaker is not interested in working another match for the company ...
However, most within the company felt that The Undertaker would want to work again after a bit of time away. Vince McMahon hoped this more than most, and although Undertaker is a professional, he did get upset with the ordeal at WrestleMania. Vince respected Undertaker enough to not have him lose to Shane after he decided against it, but the fact that it got so heated likely means there is more to the story than this.
McMahon is apparently trying to smooth things over with Undertaker, but the Deadman isn’t really allowing him to do so as he is allegedly ignoring the Chairman at this time. The former World Champion has an interesting contract that requires him to work only one match a year minimum to get his downside guarantee. Basically, his contract asks him to perform once and he’ll get paid for the rest of the year.
Recent rumors regarding Taker-Vince relations souring. Suppossedly the way Taker's contract was done means the WWE can "freeze" the contract similar to what they did with Rey Mysterio and Daniel Bryan to prevent Taker from leaving. http://www.inquisitr.com/3143446/wwe-news-the-undertaker-angry-with-vince-mcmahon-over-wrestlemania-32-deadmans-wwe-career-likely-over/
The next hearing into the criminal case against WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy Snuka will be 10:30 AM tomorrow morning in Allentown, PA.
Snuka has been charged with involuntary manslaughter and third-degree murder in the 1983 death of his then-girlfriend Nancy Argentino in an Allentown, PA hotel room.
It is quite possible that the presiding Judge in the case, Kelly L. Banach will make an official determination over whether Snuka understands the crimes against him and is competent to stand trial to face those crimes.
[To cut Seth off as a babyface] was dumb. They need that kind of guy. To do it for a guy like Reigns who's dying in the role, and the other part of him is that house show sales are going down, they're not terrible but they're on the descent not the ascent.
So all of these things by normal standards of decision making, you go "you know what, he's not the guy, we thought he was the guy but he's not". But they are bound and determined that he's the guy to the point of muting Seth Rollins, turning AJ Styles. I mean I loved the turn, but at most of the house shows AJ Styles was getting the better reaction than Roman Reigns. I mean there were some shows were Roman got better reactions, but generally AJ was getting a better reaction. And on TV it's night and day who's getting better. We can all come up with excuses night and day on why something is gonna work but the litmus test on who's gonna get over is if you give them a chance they get over, and that's it. Everything else, whether it's saying some women will like him or he's got a good body or he has a good promo, all these things are factors but not as important You can learn from it, but to go in there and just say because he's a good looking guy and he can be a role model for the company so he's gonna get over, I mean they've had a year plus and it's just not working Maybe Seth would be better, and if it didn't work for Seth then you can turn him back heel. This isn't the time for Seth to be heel, and now people are being told to hate him it's just falling flat
From a recent Observer Radio episode on why it was dumb of the WWE to make Seth Rollins a heel and Reigns struggling carrying the company. The last line looks even worse considering the recent documentary the WWE did for Rollins.
Some other sheet news includes:
RAW ratings and viewership numbers for this week are delayed due to yesterday being a holiday. Likely won't be good considering early numbers for last night's NBA playoff game was the highest ever on cable.
Enzo and Big Cass were this week's guests for ESPN's WWE/wrestling segment.

According to the Observer, if the WWE wanted to drop the 3rd hour for RAW, it would cost them around $26-$30 million in lost revenues and tv money.
WWE announced the next public tour of their Performance Center will occur on July 25th. http://www.pwinsider.com/article/102364/wwe-announces-new-all-access-package-to-the-wwe-performance-center-bill-goldberg-talks-about-his-inclusion-in-wwe-2k17.html?p=1
In a "WWE Did You Know" type fact, baring any sudden changes/injuries, Roman Reigns' will end up tied for 3rd in WWE history for most main events in a row at 8. Will tie Cena (did it twice) and Stone Cold (did it in 1998) while Rock is #2 at 9 main events in a row (2000) and Stone Cold is #1 at 11 in a row (1998-1999).
In another "WWE Did You Know" type fact, Charlotte is currently around 47 days away from tying Nikki Bella's record for longest Divas/Women's champion reign in modern WWE history. Baring any sudden decisions, she'd break before Battleground 2016 ppv.

Emperor Smeat

Something about being related to The Rock and Vince being a big "I'm A <s>Paul Heyman</s> The Rock Guy" the past few years.
Reigns path to stardom is almost the same it was for The Rock in terms of being too forced as a big face star. If I remember correctly, The Rock and not Stone Cold was Vince's original choice for being The Guy going into the Attitude Era. Biggest difference between the two was at least The Rock and WWE were smart enough to realize quickly it wasn't going to work without drastic changes and being open to having someone else take over that role.
There were rumors a few years ago about Vince wanting Cena to be his last big hand picked mega star and let Triple H/Steph decide on the next one before going all in on wanting Reigns being Cena's successor.

Doubt The Rock would care either especially going by recent social media since he cares a lot more about Nia Jax and his uncle Meng. Same for the Usos people think get the constant pushes or attention because of the connections to The Rock.
Nia is actually related to him while Reigns and Usos are from his grandfather's "blood brother" ties to the Anoaʻi Family.

God, Vince needs to just show Dixie Carter's parents some money, take the company over, let Pop air Superstars and NXT or something and save some of the fucking talent there. It might be 2016, but The Hardys vs. The Dudleys might actually garner some interest on SmackDown for the launch of this new brand. Best of Seven Series with the winners getting a Tag Title shot and one last chance to be the guys.
They'll get Drew McIntyre back to beat the shit out of Sheamus, Cesaro and those guys, and vice versa, and they can get EC3 who could be an amazing heel character as a new "investor" in WWE. Bring him in with his own title like a cheap Million Dollar Man. Pepper Parks can team with Tye Dillinger in NXT. James Storm and Bobby Roode can jump the rail and attack The New Day and their happy bullshit. Al Snow can go back to training guys. Mike Tenay can replace be an analyst on NXT. Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards can be a tag team down in Florida. Maria can cut shoot promos on Nikki Bella and relish in her neck being broken. Cena can fight Mike Bennett over it on SmackDown. Mark Andrews, Zema Ion and Trevor Lee can be in the apparent Cruiserweight Division on NXT and maybe on RAW if they give it some air time there to fill the three hours. Gail Kim can come in and do some promos about how she was a One Woman Revolution when the WWE wanted Divas. Jade can fill a spot on NXT. Sienna can balance things out somewhere and maybe be a cool babyface against Asuka or Nia Jax. Just end the madness please.

If Bobby Lashley is open to returning to the WWE, he could be a major asset. Have Kurt Angle come in as his mentor/trainer, since Kurt arguably shouldn't be wrestling. Lashley could beat down Cena after a main event segment and be one of the hottest acts in the company overnight. Cena can get his own training partner in Daniel Bryan and since you can't do Bryan vs. Angle, you can at least do Cena w/ Bryan vs. Lashley w/ Angle. Show EC3 sitting in a sky box watching the match with his "World Title" acting like he is a bemused emperor watching peasants fight. Fuck, put Bobby Roode and James Storm up there as "his tag champions." They're Beer Money right? EC3 provides the money and the beer. Call Steve Austin to do a segment with them in the ring and have them beat him down before McIntyre, the last true TNA Champion, sick of EC3's bullshit claims of being the outside champion, runs down and saves him.
This isn't that hard.

Hearing that Vince McMahon is somewhat interested in John Morrison again is cool. I was just thinking today about a hypothetical "SmackDown Six." You basically have four of those pieces in place already with Cesaro, Zayn, Owens and Miz doing what they've been doing. You need two more guys. Jericho and Morrison?
John Morrison & The Miz vs. Cesaro & Zayn vs. Jericho & Owens
Fuck yes.
Mr. Nerfect
06-01-2016, 03:16 AM
To be honest, I really wouldn't be opposed to them swapping out Miz and Morrison (provided they can't get Morrison) for even a real Sheamus/Del Rio team. Both guys ARE great in the ring, and they have that "former World Champion" thing that Angle & Benoit sort of had when they were teamed together. Zayn & Cesaro would be a tremendous little duo. Jericho & Owens have already proven they are great together. They'd steal the show every segment they were in. Couple that with the Cena/Styles program they probably have planned and SmackDown starts off in pretty good shape.
Down the line they can bring in Christopher Daniels to get involved with Styles and Joe. :drool:

I watched that WWE 2k14 conference that got Jim Ross fired from WWE. What the fuck? Ric Flair rambled and got emotional, but that was about it. Mick threw the mic over to him. JR isn't the guy's keeper, but it wasn't even that bad. Watching it I kept thinking to myself "JR is fucking hilarious and he's such a good hype man." The WWE should bring him to call PPVs with Heyman. Have the TV teams just call the TV stuff.

Fucking mad at Dixie and Jeff Jarrett for fucking this shit up. Fucking Global Force Wrestling. Kiss my ass. WCW had a better death than TNA. Just take the damn promotion behind the barn and pull the motherfucking trigger. Or just do something worthwhile. Don't make false promises, fucking Dixie.

That Taker rumor was new to me. If he seriously refused to job and that led to this stupid storyline then screw him. There were many ways around it, including a dirty finish, and it's not like he has the streak anymore. Shane winning would have been a much bigger Wrestlemania event after the jump off the cell.

I am sorry but fuck Shane McMahon. He is ballsy and all, but there is NO WAY he deserves to go over fucking Undertaker. McMahons in general can suck my did, but come on. You've had all of these talents help make Undertaker what he is and you're going to have him job to a McMahon at Mania? Give me a break. If that was Vince's "ace in the hole" that speaks volumes to him being a fucking moron.

On the TNA thing, it wouldn't be as bad if Matt would quit using that stupid voice and they actually tried to show some emotion instead of acting. I don't think it was the worst part of the show though. Raquel is horrible and not ready for TV, BroMans would be better off alone I think.

The whole multi-angle bullshit doesn't work well in wrestling, either. I mean, in one shot Jeff's looking at the ring, and only Matt is there, and in the next shot, Jess is walking towards towards the ring? We're supposed to believe in an "unscripted sport" that Jeff stood there waiting?

I like how you see all the cameras on their tripods in the background.
But seriously, are TNA somehow proud of this? I don't think I've ever been so confused watching anything wrestling related as I was while watching that.
Would someone please just end TNA, it's just terrible.
I was actually thinking the same thing on Monday.
After nine months away from wrestling, I decided to see what the status was with TNA, as last I remembered, they were dying a slow death and to my amazement, I discovered they were still alive, but their website would probably make you think otherwise.
I genuinely thought they would be dead by now and I can't understand how they're still alive today.
The best thing would be to just put TNA out of its misery and just end it. Before, most people would do the whole "loltna" thing, but it's genuinely now just one big massive joke.
It's just getting depressing and embarrassing now.

I think Adam blampeed's voice has gotten whatculture over big. He doesn't say anything earth shattering, but good delivery and timing and he can laugh at himself.
Also on the business of Shane (and Steph), they do deserve respect because they worked ground up for the company. Not like they walked in and ran shit. They have paid their dues. My biggest beef is not that they are total marks for themselves, but that they let being total marks for themselves get in the way of the product. Thankfully Undertaker by the sounds of it put his foot down.

In the same way WWE can be utter shit and still thrive based on their past merits, I think TNA can still survive based on theirs.
Their merits being they were the only company to get any kind of widespread recognition after WCW folded when wrestling was still kinda hot. They're still coasting on that to stay alive.

John Cena wasn't quite the miracle worker, but his return was enough to keep the Memorial Day Raw viewership numbers above the all-time seasonal low -- even with the show going against the single most-watched NBA game in the history of cable television.
Raw did 3.22 million viewers, the second lowest non-football total other than a major holiday (which Memorial Day is not considered) where people don't watch television since 1997, beating only the 4/25 show that did 3.16 million viewers.
The surprise is that the third hour stayed above 3 million viewers ...
The three hours were:
8 p.m. 3.28 million viewers
9 p.m. 3.32 million viewers
10 p.m 3.08 million viewers
For some reference, Game 1 of the Stanley Cup was a little over 4 million for viewers. In terms of weekly comparisons, Cena's hyped up return was actually down compared to last week although just by around 39k viewers.
As noted earlier, WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy Snuka was ruled mentally incompetent to stand trial and face the crimes of third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter in the 1983 death of his then-girlfriend Nancy Argentino in Allentown, PA. Judge Kelly L. Banach's ruling came at the end of a fourth hearing into Snuka's mental competency, following testimony from his wife Carol and Snuka taking the stand himself for a second time over the course of the hearings.
Noting that justice "suffers when it is delayed", Judge Banach said that she sided with claims that Snuka was suffering from dementia and did not believe he would be able to assist his own defense.
When the prosecution tried to object and state that Snuka was simply acting, Banach noted that with all due respect to Snuka, she did not believe he was smart enough to pull it off ...
Judge Banach decreed that a gag order remain in place on the case, preventing anyone involved from publicly commenting on the case and set a new hearing for 12/2 where they will revisit the issue of Snuka's competency and see if anything has changed in that regard. Unless the prosecution opts to drop the charges, this may be the beginning of a pattern where every few months, the court checks in on Snuka to see if his mental state has improved to the point he can stand trial and face the charges against him.

On the potential of a return to WWE for a final match, Goldberg commented, "I’ve got 50 more in me. It just depends on the ability to keep it up to my standards. I love everybody to death and I greatly appreciate their opinions, but none of it matters except for mine, because I hold myself to such high standards. The reality is, you’ve got movies, TV appearances, a kid, you're 49 years old … things aren't like they used to be. It's a completely different day. I'm 20 to 30 pounds less than what I was because I just don't need to be that dude with traps from his ears to his shoulders. Would I like to be that guy again? Absolutely. He's still in there."
On his 2003-2004 run with WWE, Goldberg commented, "It was a big jump and it was very strange for me. I mean, I was the bad guy, man. Everybody from WCW, we were the enemy. It was a very tenuous, strenuous, very weird situation because both entities had wanted nothing more than to destroy the other. Once we came together, there was still a bit of that dynamic. It was so engrained in us; I don't think you could have snapped your fingers and had it go away. There was a transition period. For myself, I only knew WCW. I only knew the experiences I had in WCW. That was the wrestling business. When I was presented with different situations, different philosophies or ideals or outlooks, it was foreign to me."

They did the same thing with Sting. brought him in to job to HHH and then they thought that Rollins beating him would be a big thing. I don't care how old they are they can still go and deserve better than what they havebeen given. They came in talking about getting a 10th title reign and have yet to get it.

Hope all teams are package deals. I don't feel the tag division is really strong enough right now to split any up. I feel like that was one things that hurt the Tag division during the first brand split. I wouldnt be against a Bubba singles run though.

So you think the WWE should have taken the titles off one of their hottest draws, and most over tag team in a decade, and put it on a 50 year old tag team getting a retirement run?
Come one now.
I actually think New Day should have moved on from the Tag division by now. I've wanted to see them hold a singles title together for a while now.

Bitches about how the WWE never changes or puts over new talent
Wants Dudleys as tag champs
I'm not a huge fan of a lot of these new tag teams. I like Enzo and Cass but I don't feel like they will stay together. Hate theVaudevillians and don't see them going anywhere. I'm all for putting over new talent but at least make it count for somthing. The Dudleys coming in and winning the titles would give a better rub to younger teams that beat them.
Enzo and Cass have already beat the Dudleys and are not going to gain anything from doing it again. The Dudleys have put guys over since they have returned, they even put over the Hype Bros in a dark match and lost to the Social Outcast on Main Event.

I'm not really a fan of the team of Enzo and Cass myself, but I see Cass being the more successful of the two in the future. Cass is great.
I'm indifferent when it comes to the Vaudevillians. I don't love or hate them but it's still early days for them I guess, and I am liking most of the teams right now. Dudleys, Lucha Dragons, New Day, Shining Stars, Social Outcasts and I'm gaining interest in the team of Gallows and Anderson, so to me, I'd say the Tag Team division is looking pretty good at the moment.

I do like that they are bringing new teams in but I don't feel a some of them are credible. I like Epico & Primo returning to themselves though. Wish they wouldn't have given Kalisto the US title and kept building up the Lucha Dragons. I do feel like New Day has hurt the division in a way. I don't see their reign as something great simply because there is three of them. I l like New Day but feel they have over stayed their welcome in the Tag division and it's time to move on to bigger and better things.

On The New Day: I understand the whole "they don't need the belts" argument. I am ready for them to drop them to Gallows & Anderson at Money in the Bank. With that being said, I think what they've exposed is just how uninteresting every other team is. People act like having more teams is better. No, having good teams is better. The New Day have been one of the more widely lauded acts in the company. They moved a ton of merchandise at WrestleMania. It should be on the other teams to get themselves hot to a point where they can get themselves in position to take the belts from this super-over team.
I know I sound like CyNick there. The problem is that teams come in with shitty gimmicks, shitty vignettes, are given a shot too quickly, lose, win, lose, win and nothing really matters. Hopefully the brand split helps tag teams continue to work on their identites and at least stay away from a few of the other teams.

Agree, more teams does not make the division stronger. The only creditable tag teams the have in my opinion are New Day, Gallows and Anderson, The Usos, Epico and Primo based solely on their past history( not Los Matadores), and The Dudleys also based on their past. I think they hot shotted these young teams and hurt the Tag division even more.
Emperor Smeat
06-03-2016, 09:56 PM
Similar to the Women's division, WWE's biggest problem is they usually only focus the most on the title feud leaving everyone else with nothing to do or feuds that don't really lead to anything important.
Usos and Anderson/Gallows ended up being nothing more than just side stuff for the Roman-Styles feud so once that ended, their tag feud abruptly ended. Anderson/Gallows getting randomly involved with the New Day probably is going to be another side show deal with the Styles-Cena feud.
If it wasn't for Enzo's injury providing some fuel for Vaudevillan's heat, they'd be just another "team du jour" for the title feud. Same goes to other tag teams that are basically irrelevant like the Shinning Stars and Ascension. Maybe even the Social Outcasts whenever they are not jobbing.
Enzo/Cass vs Dudleys feud is probably the only non-title tag feud with any real build and that is mainly because of how good both teams are with promos.
The big payoff for Golden Truth so far hasn't been worth the months WWE spent and same for the feud with Fandango/Breeze.

We all know Stephanie or Shane will be making "The Club" look weak within the month but all you can do is ignore that drivel and hope for some good segments.
CyNick doesn't post here anymore so we don't have someone trying to convince us how much of a genius Vince and Stephanie are so we don't need to bring out how befuddling the creative direction is. You're at a 1/5 success rate with the company, but that one out of the five can be pretty alright.

He didn't have the look, size, mic skills or any "style" that WWE actively encourage, yet he rose to the point where he was a focus of television and then beat two of the biggest stars of the last 20 years in one night to be the champion of said company.

Only big concern I have about the Styles-Cena feud is The Club becoming Nexus 2.0 in the sense of losing their first two big feuds back-to-back.
Nexus lost a lot of momentum with the Cena feud and then Orton finished off whatever real value the group had left with the next feud.
With the feud against Reigns, Gallows & Anderson looked more like somewhat useless lackeys than as an Outsider-like group the sheets were teasing the WWE planned for their debut and group formation.

He's retired due to injury. Fans can't YES a clear health. They did not forget about him at all. If anything the YES chants are a permanent reminder of what he did.
Even after he won the title the second he lost it fans started getting less and less involved. You started seeing more an more "haters" popping up all over the place, and the chants got less and less prevalent. By the time that Roman won the Rumble people were broken to the point that they didn't even care anymore. That all happened before he retired, dude. WWE proved that they could break the fans will with Bryan. They bent for a bit, but as soon as they were able WWE crushed the little "revolution" and went back to their old ways without a single fuck given. Same thing happened to Cesaro and Ambrose to lesser degrees. All the Daniel Bryan experiment proved was that in the end WWE always gets what they want.
As for the YES! chants they have nothing to do with what Bryan did anymore. People chant them for anything they remotely like now. Hell, they chant YES! for people that embody exactly what Bryan's movement stood against. Even Roman has elicited YES! chants in the past.
I'm not arguing that Bryan didn't accomplish some amazing things in his career, but to say his little revolution succeeded is just false. It barely got him over the hump, and it hasn't helped anyone else reach that level either.

What happened with him was a fluke, an oddity. Mainstream wrestling fans are too complacent and stupid to change long term.

I know people enjoy Styles, but you would be hoping they have something bigger planned for Summerslam than Cena going up against a guy who lost at the last 3 PPV's.
Will you feel the same way when Styles beats Cena at MITB and then Cena gets his win back at Battleground and then they trade some tag match wins back and forth on Raw/Smackdown and then at SummerSlam we get the OMG RUBBER MATCH!?!?!

Why does it always have to have awful music? Maybe if you changed it from Death-core to classical music, more people might be forthcoming of it.

I almost agree with this. Since PPV 3 is SummerSlam, I can't see them going 2/3 Falls. But I think a Cena DQ win is the only way to book MITB.

I could but I don't like the Vaudevillians. Think the Shining Stars can be a good heel tag team. Vaudevillians just dont have much of a shelf life I feel. I give them about the same amount of time Los Matadors lasted before they repackage them.
Sadly I give The Shining Stars the same amount of time. I think they are great talent, but the WWE hasn't known how to use talent from that region in the world in a long time.

It's intriguing to guys who appreciate his work outside of WWE, is it really that intriguing to people who haven't? The vast majority?
All they have seen is Reigns (who is not a popular guy) beat him handily twice in a row (albeit in good matches)
He also lost to Jericho at the biggest event of the year before that.
And now, we have to buy him as a threat to the biggest star of the last decade? Sorry, but not convinced.
The vast majority?
Do you realize it is 2016? There are 9 year olds who can google search "asian blonde anal gangbang with carrots" and incur accurate results and get educated on that particular subject.
If you really think that people who have seen AJ Styles in WWE and have liked his shit (who hasn't?) ARE NOT going online and pulling up his old infamous indie/TNA matches, then you're crazy.
Not blaming AJ, just explaining my apathy as a fan towards it and why I think it is stupid booking.
He is a breath of fresh air and 38 years old. His time should be now. 3 straight PPV losses off the bat and straight into a feud with Cena.
My previous post not withstanding, I do agree with you on this. AJ should not be losing as much as he is. Frankly, they should not have turned him heel so soon into his initial run, as he was easily the biggest face in the company up until a couple weeks ago. I guess that's the point though. No one can overshadow Reigns.

Not saying most fans aren't on the internet, but have you see the numbers TNA draw?
Lots of fans are interested in the here and now of WWE, but I think it is fair to say, and obvious to look at numbers, that the vast majority don't watch wrestling outside WWE.
Sure, some are probably looking at a few older matches out of interest, but I would still maintain that the vast majority know 90% of AJ Styles from how he has been presented in the WWE.
Even if they did look at matches from the past, it would have little to no effect on how they perceive him in WWE.

I'm also iffy on the timing of the AJ heel turn and putting him back with The Club so soon. The more I think about it, the more I think that Ric Flair should still be with Charlotte too. Jason Agnew had a great point about it on one of The LAW's podcasts. Charlotte is already a heel and getting great heat. The Charlotte/Dana dynamic worked better with Flair in there too.

fun fact, one of the original co-hosts of the LAW (this is literally from like 17 years ago) Big Daddy Donnie Abreu was a substitute teacher at my high school as well as a basketball coach in the community. He was also kind of a dickhole.

I think Jason Agnew was either the fill in producer or regular producer when Donnie was on the show.
Jeff Marek used to host it as well with Dan "The Mouth" Lovranski. Jeff went onto become a hockey guy, but he was really fucking good with wrestling... but it was nice ot have a legit sports journalist do wrestling.
The LAW was the reason I became an internet wrestling mark.
