Soooo we may see Matt broken at Payback??

 

Great Balls of Fire is exactly the type of awful garbage that makes me smile.

 

Coming to you next Easter Sunday: HOLY MOLEY!

 

alright i admit....i like the name. its better than all the generic cliche names they pull out all the time "battleground" "payback' "backlash" "roadblock".

but obviously #bringbackwcwppvs

 

Every match should involve roman candles at this stupid PPV, but they'll probably just involve Roman.

 

Fall Brawl/War Games and World War 3/60-man battle royal, please.

 

Probably have Bray and Finn in a "ring of Fire" aka inferno match because why not

 

Bring back "Uncensored" plz, I want more matches involving dudes fighting in the back of a flatbed truck speeding along highways and residential neighborhoods.

 

Just have the wrestlers run through an MXC/American Gladiators course that has flaming wrecking balls.

 

Oh! Bring back either (or both) of the two distinct triple cage designs they had.

 

Bring back Jimmy King!

 

Gotta go, my dad says yackin' on the phone is for pussies.

 

Ready to Rumble reference don't ban me

 

It's just Roman holding a candle because Vince is so out of the loop he doesn't know what fireworks are.

 

Seeing the promo is just too funny.

 

BEST NEWS

 

Bryan and make have been super critical of the Japanese style of wrestling as of late. The match between Goto and Suzuki involved a ton of head shots with either slaps or chairs. It's probably not worse than its ever been and its going to be very difficult to make it go away. Curious to see if any changes are made in the coming months.

 

Did you watch that Suzuki match? Was it hard to watch or anything like that?

 

I always think back to the incredible Benoit/Jericho ladder match at the 2001 Rumble. Benoit took insane head shots from ladders and chairs and it's almost undeniable that stuff like that had an effect on his mental stability.

 

Giving kayfabe news yet another day off!

 

In Your House: Great Balls Of Fire

 

I enjoyed it. An easy 4.5 from Dave. He hadn't watched it yet when they were talking so I assume it'll be on the next show. The head shots will likely bring it down.

 

This interview with Darren Young is pretty great.

 

And Ibushi is 100% the best in the world.

 

in the grand scheme of things a PPV title doesn't really matter but holy fuck is that an awful title. will be very curious to see how good everyone's acting skills are at not breaking when saying the PPV name live. we all know how much creative loves to have everyone blabber the name of the PPV every week.
