Damn, that sucks. "My Time" is still one of the best entrance themes there ever was.

Triple H sent the Pittsburgh Penguins their own WWE Title belt to celebrate their Stanley Cup victory.

Too bad it'll be obsolete after the draft and Smackdown gets it's own world championship.

fuck it, just have a red belt and a blue belt.

Raw WWE Heavyweight Champion

Smackdown World Heavyweight Champion

Yeah, sure. WWE can have their own version of Red vs Blue.

With Wyatt hyping his return on twitter, does anyone think it will actually lead to anything meaningful? I relly enjoy his character, but I just have no faith in WWE right now when it comes to using character properly

So I just watched that much talked about Ricochet/Will Ospreay match, and yeah, I gotta side on the Vader side of the argument with this one. While their athleticism cannot be denied, this definitely feels like more of an over-rehearsed gymnastics sequence than it does a wrestling match.

It's so obnoxiously blatant how this entire thing was planned out step by step beforehand, leaving absolutely no room for even the mildest bit of spontaneity to happen in the ring. And yes, while I know a lot of matches are this way, and that a lot of actually "working" a match, calling it out in the ring, doesn't happen nearly so often these days as it once did, I'm not sure I've ever seen a match where that fact was ever more transparent than it does in this one.

I felt like I was watching a play, or a scene in a movie, something that had been scripted and gone over in minute detail over and over again before going out and putting on a show. And sure, a lot of what I saw was impressive (though a lot of it is also really, really mind-numbingly stupid...), but at no point in time did it ever feel like I was watching an actual wrestling match. At no point did it ever not look staged or fake. So yeah, if this was a three ring fucking circus, then this was a great performance. But as an actual wrestling match? Yeah, not so good.

When your match is nothing but major spot after major spot, with nothing even in the way of a damn transition between them, eventually those spots grow completely meaningless, as they all tend to just blend together into one another, and not a single one of them stands out. The art of the buildup, of telling an actual story in the ring, is completely lost in this match, and ultimately all of those big stunts go to waste, as none of them have any meaning or lasting impact behind them.

I've never seen these two prior to this, so I can't say how they are otherwise. But based solely on their performance in this match alone, the only assessment I can come to is that these are two extraordinarily talented athletes who don't have a fucking clue at all whatsoever how to actually wrestle.
