I think the last episode I watched was maybe the one before that. I think Asuka defended against Nikki Cross and Ruby Riot in a triple threat.

Also, I wasn't saying that great things couldn't still happen...... just I feel like they are more "sparse" now on weekly TV than they used to be......

Great match you should check it out. I agree with the general premise. I'm less thrilled about this Brooklyn Card as I've been in years. Maybe because I've made no plans to see in in person as of yet? Not sure. Just seems meh right now.

The buzz around NXT has certainly died down.

It feels like the freshness of the concept has dulled, and you can kind of predict the patterns of things. Top indy guy comes in, gets a push, wins the belt, moves on. Not literally, but it all feels that way. I know people are stoked about Adam Cole, but how is it going to be different from Austin Aries? From Sami Zayn?

Pretty strange in the last weeks both members of ReDRagon came into NXT and lost to Alexister Black. Hopefully that's not all we see of Bobby Fish and O'Reilly.

Fuck y'all, Triple H was cool as fuck in 1998.

Those glow in the dark HHH pants lol

It's not really the freshness, that died ages ago while things were still hot. Most of it is losing the head writer. Storyline wise, nothing is interesting every week. When it was must watch, it always felt like every show had a purpose, but it doesn't anymore so it's just about checking out recommended matches for me.

Takeovers stil exceed my expectations though, so we'll see on that front.

I hope North Korea bombs the NXT crowd

Shitstain Nakamura v.s. The Hindered Jinder Mahal

Minor gripe, but they got the original SvR logo wrong.

That's the original SvR logo. Still, they are doing what they're doing for charity, and I think it's a great cause. :)

It starts in 30.

Roman wins.

lmao raised over $1,200 in 12 minutes

Just tuned in and saw the title screen still. I'm imagining a Heath Slater vs Curt Hawkins match happening off screen though.

Yeah because they read off the donation messages, it's gone nuts so they're trying to rattle through some before the match.

They're above $1.5k now though and no matches. #FuckCancer

Starting with SVR09

So there's 900 people playing?

Nah, it's all CPU controlled.

So what if UnderTaker wins all the WWE matches?

How do they enter the wrestler who wins the ECW rumble?

Create a wrestler... Which will be needed because Lance Cade wins! The final 3 were Shad, HHH and Lance Cade

I heard Droford bet $500 on Trevor Murdoch winning the first one. He cannot be pleased.

...Bradshaw wins Shut Your Mouth, beating Hurricane last. Raised $7k so far

WWE barely gave Murdoch a chance on SD! before (IIRC) he was gone and in TNA as Jethro Holiday or something like that.

I mean, I'm not saying he would've ever been ME material, but he could've been very solid in the midcard.

EDIT: Nice. WP says he lives in Holland, MI.

Already 50% of the goal in less than hour and a half. Holy shit.

Steve Blackman wins Smackdown 1! The boyhood dream!

Rumor going around the net involves the WWE being way behind schedule on another set of new belts being made. Supposed reason is them having just 1 beltmaker make all the new belts. Tag belts still rumored to be getting the side plate treatment.

Also WWE really did have plans for a title reign for Eva Marie at some point since they had her side plates done while she was training with Kendrick.

Simon Diamond wins. What an all star cast for the Royaliest of Rumbles we have.

Great now every belt can look the same.

10k

Tanaka somehow cheating during the ECW rumble was hilarious. That and everyone being really fat for the match.
