Maybe Stanny wants to add something nifty into the title, all I got for 17 is Mass Transit.

I bet the last man standing US title match on Main Event tonight between Del Rio and Sheamus will be worth watching.

Great Y2J highlight reel segment also with Bret Hart and Damien "HBK" Sandow

Main Event is a better show than Smackdown.

Main Event has been dope for the last few weeks. That handicap divas match was told to be 6 vs 1 and Cameron came out at the end. Was Cameron supposed to be the 6th diva because it was super distracting seeing only 5 of them

My second favorite part is the guy at 2:25 jumping behind him and Bo's "YEAH!" right at the music's height.

At 0:45: "GO BACK TO HELL YOU EVIL MOTHER :censored:

!!!!"

Few random thoughts:

With the cryptic Sting message from yesterday a thought occurred to me, if/when Sting does debut I think they'll go all the way in one direction or the other. Either its a complete surprise totally out of the blue ala Jericho's return a couple weeks ago. Or it'll be set up with weeks of vignettes ala Jericho's debut and first return. So, I don't think he'll debut with some half-assed cryptic tweet. What I do think is possible is next Monday is the first in those weeks of vignettes.

Apparently CM Punk will be an interviewer at some music awards show I've never heard of in a couple weeks. The interesting parts of this is that it would probably be after his contract would/will have expired and the awards show is on a Monday night.

Initially I really didn't like it but I've done a full 180 on Stardust. Cody's basically been in the same spot for like 4 years firmly entrenched in the mid-card with the occasional trip to the upper mid-card and occasional trip to the lower mid-card. I think the rationale for that would essentially be that while he seems to check all the boxes he seemed to lack that intangible quality that would set him apart from others and I think he may have stumbled upon that with this character. And that is that he has the most wonderfully creepy smile I've ever seen in my life. I could see this eventually leading to a heel turn and him being this deranged but brilliant heel who uses psychological warfare every bit as much as physical warfare. As a comparison I wasn't even thinking of a wrestler but rather The Riddler.

Daniel Bryan’s Facing Another Career-Threatening Surgery And It Might Be Time To Get Worried

The update on Bryan is that he may now also require shoulder surgery, as a full exam has revealed a lot of different shoulder and neck issues. At this point, because of uncertainty as to whether he’ll need surgery and what surgery it could be, he’s out of plans and there is no estimate on when he’ll return. The plan seemed to be the Roman Reigns ascension to being the top guy at WrestleMania 31 whether Bryan was hurt or not, but now the TV is built around Reigns as the major badass.

Seriously awful news. Bryan has mentioned in interviews for years that he's considered quitting wrestling several times to do anything else. So out of of anyone in wrestling, I think this news would have the least (but still significant) amount of impact, as long as he can be assured a normal, pain-free life.

But, I mean, bloody hell...

I said it back when he gave that speech on Raw back in May and I'll say it again, I just hope we get to see him in the ring again. I'm no doctor but I always thought the original timetable for his return (4-6 weeks or whatever it was) was far too optimistic. At this point I just hope he can get healthy and wrestle again at some point in the future without being rushed back, I don't care how long it takes.

TheKingofSting2 · Post #15 » by **TheKingofSting2** » Thu Jul 10, 2014 6:26 am

WWE really handled that situation poorly. They were hoping not to have to strip him and it turns out he was hurt this bad.

NeedsMoreCheese · Post #16 » by **NeedsMoreCheese** » Thu Jul 10, 2014 6:41 am

Yeah thats pretty ****. If nothing else though, at least dude got to have his moment. Hope he can eventually come back even if it takes a long time.

I really hope DB isn't another Edge.

I was so sad when I saw Edge leave the ring early due to injury, and if DB has to do the same, I feel the same heartbreak.

Also, I saw some on the internet criticizing Fandango for his commentary? Am I in the minority when I thought it was brilliant? I thought he played a character to a "T" and his Fonz reference was brilliant. He's certainly winning me over...

Fandango deserves so much better. I also loved the commentary. He's not DB in the ring but he's a solid worker and can definitely get reactions out of the crowd.

I don't know if you're in the minority, but you're definitely not alone. I thought it was great.

I think he's just about right, honestly. Most guys on the roster can't even make TV. Fawndawngo is on Raw every week.
