    People aren't gonna like this video but well...its the truth really. I brought this up years ago on old CBR. Now I respect Undertaker for his 30 years of service for damn sure. He did a hell of a lot for business and was a big leader backstage. His run the last decade putting talent over made up for a number of things he did wrong on screen and backstage (Mike Awesome)



    One guy missing from this was Tommy Dreamer who was also buried completely in 2001 or 2002 for no real reason. (he wasn't nowhere close on Undertaker's position on the card really)

    Was he actually rehired? I sort of assumed this was just a one time appearance to help build up the Drew/Dolph fued.

    If he was rehired, good for him. I was always looking forward to some sort of 3 man band angle feud of some sort.

    Why would MVP spend the money on a new belt that he doesn't even hold? If he doesn't defeat Apollo then he basically just bought him a new belt. I get "cocky overconfident heel" but it just seems like a waste of money from a character-standpoint. It would have made more sense if he won the belt and then revealed the new design.

    Heath is technically still under contract till next week.

    He has given every indication he is heading to impact and possibly Japan though

    Common sense (to me) anyway, is that other than the tape library, WWE now needs a developmental brand for their developmental. Now all of the various NXT talent that there's no room for on the roster can go perform somewhere.
    i thought kingston was with nwa?? anybody know what ar fox status is??

    look(and listen) at how he got into the UFC, kind of have to take him serious after that(broken jaw, concussion).


    one of the scariest KO's i've ever seen in MMA and i've been watching for about 30yrs.

Booking better matches often means booking them in a more competetive way... but that comes at the expense of generating any sort of aura of invinsibility for your big man.
    dave's booking is more in tune with their audience. displaying talent will get the big guys more over with that audience than squashing jobbers. their big men need to be credible and menacing more than invincible

    so happy he's not getting squashed in seconds anymore, but you know big men got to be invincible after all.

    I think the managers are really standing out of RAW in recent months. MVP and Vega have really helped to carry the show. I'm not sure managers have mattered this much in the WWE in years.

    Yeah, I can't think of any recent time either where managers have gotten this much spotlight.

    My issue with AEW big men is they get a short hard push and then lose, and just become another guy. Brodie Lee has been a complete dud. Lance Archer should be going after bigger fish than Janella.

    That's a massive change in plan. Before the global bastard happened Aldis was building a major feud with Scrull.

    not sure how you can even call that when there's no crowd but brodie still looks like a monster to me as he's only lost to mox and he didn't actually tap in that match.

    janela is perfect for archer right now imo, he'll bump his ass off to make archer look great and he'll get great heat for it as well.

    and to be honest janela probably has more upside, but archer is a big guy.
