Ciampa vs Gargano feud is everything we want in a feud between Bryan vs Miz.

 

I almost said something about Bryan-Miz. That could be gold and they could run it from now until Wrestlemania if they did it right. Get a belt -- preferably the WWE title -- onto Miz before Mania and let the end of the feud by Bryan winning it off him there. It won't be the same level in the ring because Miz isn't as talented technically as Ciampa or Gargano, but they could still have some great matches as far as storytelling goes.

 

The NXT title change actually happened about 3 weeks ago or so, if I'm not mistaken since they film 4 weeks at one taping.

Twitter ruined it for me as well.

 

I'm aware of Ciampa and Gargano and their feud, and that it's a big deal that hardcore fans are digging, but don't watch NXT. What's the Cliff's Notes version of their feud?

 

Just find their matches at Takeover and watch it. You won't regret it.

 

Yep. Watch the Takeover New Orleans match. Here's the promo leading up to it:

 

Theyd posted a couple things with (SPOILER) tags the night of the tapings, so once they announced a title match I had suspicions but I wasnt sure, thought eh maybe its a Takeover card or a debut.

I know enough to mute certain things at work on Monday and Tuesday nights but never had an issue with nxt.....

The title match was still outstanding id recommend it to anyone, and while I knew Ciampa won I didnt know Gargano came out, so that was something

 

Couple weeks ago, I rewatched the old Tough Enoughs on the Network, and I was curious where some of the non-winners ended up.

Jessie, one of the unimposing girls from Season 2 (won by Jackie Gayda and Linda Miles) who withdrew with a health issue, went on to work office jobs with WWE and TNA, but now she's, in fact, Mrs. Tomasso Ciampa.

 

I watched a few of them a couple of months ago. Hard to believe it's been 16-17 years. Where does the time go?

 

We lost a legend today, SJ. We grew up watching him. Rest Easy, Nikolai Volkoff.

 

Taught me the Russian National Anthem. Had one awesome suit. Will miss that guy.

If you have the Network, look up the old Tuesday Night Titans that's is a "This is Your Life" on Volkoff. How he survived that segment without cracking up hysterically is a testament to his ability to play that character.

 

In other news, Brian Christopher tried to kill himself, and is now hospitalized.
