Keep politics out of here guys, it's too real and raw right now to even be a source of humour.

Another good NXT episode this week.

Authors of Pain vs DIY was really good. Tommasso Ciampa slapped the life out of Akam.
That Samoan Drop/Fallaway Slam combo was sweet.

Samoa Joe is a great heel.

If Regal was ten years younger he would of gave Joe a brass knuckle sandwich.

Sanity is the bath salts of wrestling stables.

So Shawn Michaels is the new head of the performance center.

Huh, fancy that. He's definitely qualified, and is friends with the right guy, but I am a little surprised as I always got the vibe from him that he didn't want to be in the business full time anymore.

I thought WWE debunked that?

So Shawn Michaels is the new head of the performance center.

According to Kevin Nash.....

I will wait for WWE to make it official.

Still not into Authors of Pain.

They're this generation's version of The Harris Brothers right now. They serve a goon/gatekeeper function, but right now that's all I see them as. Not a great use of Paul Ellering's return to the business. Oddly enough, they might get the callup because of their limited role, because there's always room on the main rosters for a goon team to make the better teams look good.

That's Braun Strowman dressed as Popeye the Sailor!

I've always had an affection for the Tugboat character, just because it seemed so random and senseless. Because kids emulate barge captains? He might as well have been a wrestling milkman or wrestling cobbler.

I liked him better as Typhoon.

Ironically, the NFL rigged the system so that the XFL would fail then stole some of their ideas like players introducing themselves, sideline interviews with players / coaches, and the skycam.

I wonder if the Young Bucks will be at Deletion.

 

[S. Grundy]

I'm pretty sure their ROH is ending in December, so I'd say there is a good chance that they'll be there.

Also, Corgan and TNA reached a settlement and it looks like Jeremy Borash has been promoted to head of creative. So, that is a silver lining.
