Better watch the "trash talk" to older women, like this wrestler found out...funny in a way, but scary.  Some take these to seriously.

Looks like there's a good chance I'll be seeing him in action on Friday! (Fingers crossed for Nakamura, too.)

^^^ I mean, I'm glad he's still going to wrestle and that he's happy the crowds love him and all. But did he really have to continue the comedy act that basically killed his career in WWE for now? Also, they really telegraphed some of those moves (which I get why, it just seemed really weird to me) so it made them less impactful I guess? Plus I had no idea who any of those guys were except for Sandow obviously, and Colt Cabana.

I've got nothing against him doing the comedy stuff; if he wants to do it, then more power to him. I don't reckon he'll stick to that; I think that night was just because he was with Colt Cabana.

 

The surprise was that he's still wrestling as Damien Sandow; same name, same theme, same outfit, same everything. I thought WWE usually try to prevent that. Although admittedly, it is pretty easy for some to get around it, like Eugene. When I saw him at a Pro Wrestling Pride show last January, he was U-Gene; same theme, same gimmick, just a different outfit and a slightly altered name. As for the other guys, well, it was a low-level indy show, so no surprise we haven't heard of them. Same story for me when I went to my first Plymouth Wrestling Association back in April; I was only there for the British stars who came down: El Ligero, Martin Kirby, Dave Mastiff, Joel Redman, Jinny, Pollyanna, and of course, Drew Galloway.

Well, MitB was fairly decent.  Started watching late on the WWE App (just $9.99!)  so was able to fast-forward through the adverts.  Went 3 minutes past an advert, though, and the Nattie v Charlotte was already over!  So much for showcasing women wrestlers.   I don't know about anyone else, but Styles v Cena was flat out BORING to me.  And Cena was acting half-dead just seconds after the opening bell.  Best parts to me?  Ambrose winning, and Golden Truth matches.  I know Golden Truth was just for laughs, but it delivered.  Nice touch with the "peeling" skin!  Now, let's hope Creative doesn't screw up RAW.

Yeah WWE enjoys doing things like this in front of the family.  Most times when they show family at ringside, you just KNOW that means a huge loss is coming.

Quote

Despite being hailed as a brilliant and opportunistic strategist, new WWE Champion Dean Ambrose confessed today that he cashed-in his newly acquired Money in the Bank contract because he didn’t want to lug a cumbersome metal briefcase around the world.

 

“I remember (Seth) Rollins complaining that the briefcase is a huge pain in the ass,” Ambrose told reporters at a press conference this morning in Las Vegas.

 

“You think I want to take that thing through airport security every day? No thank you!”

 

Ambrose has vowed to “travel light” these days, especially since he realized what a hassle it was to transport Mitch the Potted Plant from city to city — not to mention the barbed-wire bat that security guards confiscated from his luggage last week.

 

Ambrose may soon regret his decision, however, since the seven-pound briefcase is actually easier to transport than the WWE Championship belt, which is 10 pounds of gold.
