Thanks glad some of you enjoyed it...

It's funny I hadn't gone to a show in 10 years 2006-2016....and now I've been to 6 in the last year and a half lol

I'm not sure if it's the same in every market or because business is down but you can get good seats or find good deals
for great prices especially if you wait last minute. Also the crowds are predominately 20-50 year olds and not many kids.

I wasn't expecting much about the parking lots but my friend wanted to check it out because of memories he had
of doing it at Maple Leaf Gardens house shows in the late 80's - early 90's. The wrestlers usually leave right after the
show so the time you get out of the arena you don't have to wait long to see what's going on.

Also if you go to all 3 or 2 shows in a row in the same city it really destroys your vocal chords lol if you mark out or
try to start chants. Just like Survivor Series weekend my voice is completely shot yesterday I could not talk at all today
I'm at about 40% lol

I don't know. She is leaving an organization in which she tried to hurt people for one where the idea is to not hurt your opponent. That's a big change. I hope she makes the jump though. I love me some Rousey.

why though. He is the Brahma bull, unless he really is trying to distance himself from wrestling altogether.

"Evolution of the bull. Blood, sweat & years.
After 3 sessions and 22hrs of tattooing with world renowned @NikkoHurtado, the story's almost done.. Every detail is a reflection of my own personal history.
From the cracks and heavy damage in the bone representing life's hard lessons I've learned over the years. Just like scars and wrinkles - I'm so grateful to have 'em because they're earned.
To the horns, not pointing up or out to the side, but pointing straight ahead representing relentless energy and forward progress.
The core and anchor of this image is in the eye. Look closely and you'll find the life, energy, power and you'll feel the MANA (spirit). The eye tells the story of a disruptive positive energy always ready to dent the universe.
Depending on the light and angle, sometimes the energy's subtle and sometimes it's glaring. But it's always alive and ready to disrupt the universe and love and protect my family and all things I love with intense passion and gratitude.
Cheers to living, learning, evolving and growing. And to the positive disrupters ready to dent the universe.
#EvolutionOfTheBull #TheDisrupter #TheMana
#NowLetsBreakOutTheTequila"

Kobe Bryant was asked who he feels is the toughest opponent to guard in the NBA. Instead of picking OKC's Kevin Durant, Bryant went with Portland’s Brandon Roy.

"Roy 365 days, seven days a week. Roy has no weaknesses in his game."

Also Summerslam is in Brooklyn again (look, since mania is not leaving the US, or in general it won't leave the south, at least take a PPV outside of Florida, the South, L.A. or the North-East already, Summerslam would have been a great PPV to try take to Toronto or London i think).

Still though, Brooklyn is a good crowd i guess (they'll be hot for the two main events, US title, both tag team title matches). the IC title match and both women's title matches are going to die though aren't they (Naomi vs Natalya, Jordan vs the Miz, i feel bad for them). My only thing is its a bit of a waste that it isn't a stadium show since its the 2nd largest show of the year (according to the WWE, the rumble at times has felt bigger, at least this last one did).

Ric Flair is currently hospitalized and is in a medically induced coma.

F*** man, we can't lose him.

Hoping he pulls through whatever this is. The wrestling world wouldn't be the same without Ric.

Shamrock made the transition pretty well

Kind of. His character work was pretty good but he made Seth rollins look like Bret Hart as far as being reckless goes. Constantly stiffed guys and had tons of heat for it.

How are you guys overlooking Matt Riddle? He's basically the gold standard of the MMA to wrestling transition.

Matt Riddle will be in the WWE if he wants (well, when he is willing to forgo some weed).

There has been a lot of WWE stuff on ESPN recently, and i'm not talking about Summerslam only.

May be jumping the gun but maybe WWE to ESPN?
