This is ridiculous ... I have completely 360'd on my wrestling viewing.

TNA is absolutely brilliant at the moment (granted some of the storylines suck ahem Lynch ahem)

... yet on the other hand I'm just hating on WWE. Sorry guys but it is terrible. There isn't a storyline in action at the moment that I am interested in. Seriously ... not a single one.

[Cosmo]

Why are you apologising? We know it's gooseberry fool.

[1cmanny1]

I bet you forgot about the youtube preshow, now THAT will be an awesome match

[Chocolate Jim]

TBH I come in here so little now I dont see a lot of the opinions. I'm trying to watch all of this spoiler free now to enhance my viewing. Its been good for my TNA viewing but WWE just continue to strawberry float me as I dont even know which segments to fast forward through now

It pisses me off that WWE keep calling this the 25th anniversary of Summerslam when it's the 25th Summerslam. Surely that makes it the 24th anniversary?

[Dangerblade]

Well they did the same with with WrestleMania 25, so it's no surprise.

It never used to annoy me but for some reason it's starting too surely they should just say the 25th annual Summerslam. That would make more sense.

John Laurinaitis has been told that he will be returning to television soon as some sort of an Executive Vice President character.

Triple H is not that high on women's wrestling, nor has he ever been. When it comes to recent try-out camps and recruiting of top athletes, they are men and not women. While they are still adding women to the developmental roster, the days of recruiting models seem to be over. Some who have worked with Triple H believe that when he gets more power within WWE there will be even less of an emphasis on the Divas, with Tag Team wrestling instead taking their place.

So on one hand it's a negative, but at the same time also a positive.

WWE want to get their YouTube Pay Per View pre-game shows moved to television by early 2013. There is a recognition that the 46,000 or so people who view the YouTube shows are most likely adding nothing to the buyrate the way a TV show would have the potential of doing.

WWF used to use Heat for this up until I think 2005, as on PPV nights it was always Live from the building. I remember Ivory/Todd Grisham/Jonathan Coachman outside the arena at one point - think this was around 2003. Sky's format had it as Velocity, Heat and then the PPV, which helped pass a couple of hours.

They'd just be better off dumping Superstars again and bringing back Sunday Night Heat.

Apparently 'Claire Lynch' is also an employee at Universal Studios, and works on the Popeye ride as Olive Oyl.

[KK]

This just has to be turned into a wrestling angle.

She's probably going to get a load of wrestling fans coming up to her now while dressed as Olive Oyl saying "Oh my God, you're Claire Lynch" & asking her a load of stupid questions, while the more sensible ones will just ask for a photo/autograph. The photo op she probably gets all the time anyway, as that's kind of part of her job.

• Crowd start chanting "Olive Oyl".
• We get various skits involving AJ Styles taking his family around the Orlando theme park, before bumping into Claire Lynch moonlighting as Olive Oyl.
• Christopher Daniels comes out and reveals that Claire Lynch is having to work as Olive Oyl to help fund the baby, as AJ refuses to do "the right thing".
• Popeye does a run-in during AJ Styles' Bound for Glory match, only for it to be revealed as Christopher Daniels.

This is what happens when you watch too much Vince Russo produced television.

Anyone here see hardcore justice? In the first match Hernandez hits a shoulder block over the top rope on to gunner on the floor... Right at the end of the match this is ... Anyway when he does it I swear it looks like gunners teeth fall out ... Did anyone else see this?

[Cosmo]

We need a Popeye and Bluto run-in.
