FINALLY the long awaited, yet predictable, bully ray turn happened tonight. Ill give tna credit... they waited longer than I thought to turn him.

The Bully Ray heel turn sounds really predictable, but Ray is such a good heel that it's probably the smartest move they could do with him. "Let the stupid bitch cry!"

Ray should put Hardy through a table and put him on the shelf for a few weeks to give Hardy some time off (keeps him fresh and in good spirits) and builds heat for heel Ray.

They're building to D'Lo Brown vs. Kurt Angle it seems. A battle between former Euro-Continental Champions.

It is late, but I wonder if they could make that part of D'Lo's gimmick -- a dude who just never got his chance.

D-Lo hasn't wrestled in 3 years, and it isn't like people were dying to see D-Lo Brown make a return. His return to WWE fizzled out completely and he struck out in ROH.

Fun Fact: D-Lo Brown and William Regal are tied for most reigns as WWF European Champion with both men having 4 reigns.

WWE really missed the boat in not having Wade Barrett or Antonio Cesaro replace the U.S. or I.C. title with the European Championship.

I dunno -- I'd like to think that TNA wouldn't be putting D'Lo back on TV if they didn't feel he had something to deliver. It really wouldn't surprise me though...

If the WWE attempts to do that Harlem Shake bullshit at WrestleMania, I hope that it starts with Santino Marella, Brodus Clay & Tensai coming out to do it, only for 3MB to crash the party as party-pooping heels do. They get their asses kicked and then they do the Shake, but then William Regal's music hits and he comes out in a nice suit and looks absolutely disgusted with everyone...then he starts funking the fuck out as only Mr. Regal can.

Oddly enough, Matt Hardy has the 2nd longest reign as European Champion at 125 days. British Bulldog is #1 with 206 days as champion. Triple H and X-Pac are tied for 3rd with 120 day reigns.

Chris Jericho has the shortest reign at 1 day with Crash Holly having the 2nd shortest reign at 2 days. Jericho lost it to Eddie Guerrero the night after winning it at WrestleMania 2000. Crash Holly won it from Regal at Rebellion 2000 but lost it back to him the following RAW.

WWE should bring back Rebellion. It's a good name for a PPV.

I also think that the WWE would be able to pull off a British PPV a lot better in today's day and age. Back when the WWE did their British PPVs, they kind of felt like filler. Wade Barrett challenging for the WWE Championship at a British PPV could be kind of huge.

I agree that having D'Lo revealed as a masked man is a bit much in 2013, but his involvement in the Aces & Eights makes sense from a bitter veteran point of view. And from that point of view I think I could actually really get into D'Lo Brown vs. Kurt Angle, even if I feel that Angle should be working with guys that have a future. But maybe they are good friends or something, and Angle specifically wants to work with D'Lo?

Also: Does anyone think that Santino will one day get a serious run in the WWE? I'm not saying he should -- his comedic character is pretty much perfect for where it is and adds something very valuable to WWE programming. But could a heel Santino going for glory work?

I'm talking about as one of the 12 main PPVs. The name and logo were cool.

This is why guys go to TNA, actually (aside from an easier schedule). If Kurt was in WWE and went to Vince and was like "I'd like to work with D'lo Fucking Brown", Vince would go apeshit.

Fucking hell Regal is brilliant. It's a shame he only has himself to blame for fucking up his 2008 push, but the man has such worth as an on-air character. I really enjoyed that they sort of showed him hanging out with Sheamus towards the end of Sheamus' World Title run.
In fact, I'd be all for Sheamus & Regal winning the Tag Team Titles off Team Hell No. If just so that Sheamus could point out that he's taken every single championship Daniel Bryan has ever won off him. Also, Bryan and Regal interacting would be gold. Regal is apparently working the England tour the WWE has planned sometime after Mania. Would love to see him team with Sheamus for it, since it feels like Sheamus' immediate role in main event matters is over and he's doing some time working on the outskirts a bit. |

On the flip-side, do you think that a comedic push for Marella could ever work? Even if just for one episode. I'm imagining a heel WWE Champion CM Punk vs. Santino Marella established in an opening segment, with Marella training throughout the night and John Cena even giving Marella advice and that sort of thing. Do you think that enough people would get on board with that to stay tuned? |

And no, Bully Ray being the President of Aces & Eights doesn't make much sense.
