Pretty much. If I remember correctly, nobody in WWE's management really cared about the show nor had any real desire to add extra hours to their work week for a low tier show which allowed it to be more hands-off.

Stevie Richards got busted by pure chance since Steph or someone else randomly decided to check up on Heat one week and got pissed Richards was doing the GM stuff without their knowledge. Think the main reason was it messed up their canon for GMs and made them look like fools for forgetting about Heat.

Probably got even more pissed that Richards managed to create something successful without needing any of WWE's help.

Apparently Big Cass might have suffered a legit knee injury over the weekend after faking having one during the week.

Conflicting reports with the Observer stating Cass is only selling being injured while PWI is stating he actually hurt himself. Only thing confirmed is he got pulled from this week's Smackdown MitB Qualifier match and instead this week will be a pre-qualifier to find out who faces Samoa Joe in the actual qualifier next week.

According to Matt Cappotelli's wife, he is at the end of his life and currently expected to pass away any day now.

His health in general has been declining the past several months and his cancer has the stage where medical treatment can no longer help.

I would.

Same here. Always have, always will.

KICKOUT AT TWOOOOOOO

Fuck that shit toboggan. I hope the promoter threw his gear out in the street and told him to never come back.

Sadly, I can see that talentless fuck waffle becoming a viral sensation and getting booked all over the place, because there is no god and nothing in life matters anymore.

The only thing that will come of this that will be entertaining on any level is Corny's rant about it.

Did he miss everyone?

Looked like it. You know, as if that shit sandwich needed to be sloppy as well.

On my Google hompage, NJPW news pops up in sports while all WWE news falls into the entertainment section.

:lol: at the Cena-Nikki relationship drama led to the lowest ever viewed episode in Total Bellas history.

Both of them and E! struck out big time with this for the show. They really overestimated the amount of interest people actually have for the couple and for this breakup angle.

Yeah makes total sense I just thought it was funny google see's the difference.

Watching another episode. So apparently Rob Van Dam and Jerry Lawler teamed up against the Headbangers on Shotgun Saturday Night. I had no idea this happened.

Currently watching Jim the Anvil Neidhart vs Jesse Jammes lol

Those reality shows do really well within a certain timeframe, but they don't have the enduring ability to really hook people. The "Total" bandwagon is not going to stay steady forever.

jesus.

It was a good shot, I'm surprised WWE did show it from 3 different angles in that time period.

Yes that was Jim Cornette answering my Ivan Putski question this week on the Drive Thru.

No autographs at this time please.

Thanks.

You came to mind when I heard "Gertner" and funnily enough it was you.

Antidote =/= anecdote

pretty sure it's a running joke Droford, you big weeny

Lol what?

Lol damn it, I was hoping Corny had some stories on the legendary dickhead that was Ivan Putski.

Corny rarely answers the question. Usually segways into something that 10% has to do with the question.

I enjoy Cornette's segways. Brian does really well with this too.

Why doesn't anyone use "The Torture Rack" as a finisher now?

Rack attack

I don't listen to his show so I wouldn't know. He was on Busted Open last week I enjoyed his segment.

Either its not as flashy as a big finisher now or usually looks terrible when its not Luger doing it. Guess its also possible to injure yourself doing it as in Nikki Bella's case.

Braun should use it instead of the running powerslam which has to be the weakest finisher currently
