They used pyro last night. That put a dent in the cameraman travel budget.

Austin on skype will still get a bigger pop than anyone on the show. I guess the WWE was too lazy to send a cameraman out to 316 Gimmick St.


Vince: Hey pal! Come on Raw and talk about Summerslam and we'll let you talk about your show.

Austin: Oh hell yeah! Is skype OK?

Vince: (mutes phone) BRUCE!!!! What the frick is skype?

Bruce: (Jerry Jarrett voic) Wellll You KNowwww.

Vince: (back to Steve) Sure thing pal!

Probably a fairly accurate depiction of the negotiations.

Ibushi and Okada will put on a great match no doubt.

My overwhelming thing from this G1 Climax (caught up on a lot today)....Naito ain't near what he used to be. That dude put some miles on his body quick and it shows. He is way slow. At times I wondered if he was currently injured but I can't find any confirmation of that.

The Bullet Club hasn't really recovered since Balor, AJ, and the Elite left. I mean Haku's kids are OK and do good work, but it just seems off and has since late last year. We'll see what Itami can do. It doesn't seem like he is the one to bring it back but I could be wrong. We know Jay White wasn't the one for sure hah.

just my opinion on the matter... the neck snap should be The Fiend's pinfall finisher

I mean... that move is taught to legitimately kill people

They’ll probably drop the neck snap for obvious reasons.

There's no way that got cleared beforehand nor will it ever be cleared by TV execs. We were in shock when he did that... the only saving grace was that it was after 10pm on the east coast. We'll find out soon just how bad that will be for his comeback... I'm sure Vince was on the phone with NBC Universal and possibly FOX to assure them it was a one time thing.

Hi Zap!

Did you see how rt3 didn't put me in first place because of a single, solitary point? Isn't that the pettiest thing you've ever seen?
