    I wonder if the Evolution PPV is a way for WWE to judge the interest in taking the women off RAW and SD and giving them their own show like 205 or NXT?

    That Miz and Bryan promo last night on Smackdown was pure gold.

    Only problem is of course it's all staged shock/disbelief to get on camera. Ever since Undertaker guy did it at Mania when Taker lost, except I actually believe he was shocked! lol

    I like to think of it as Braun was too busy looking for Owens I guess. ... I try to rationalize these things too much I guess lol

    They may get their own show, but they'd stay on Raw and Smackdown. Those are their main shows, with the most eyeballs, so they want a variety of programming. Plus, they don't want to be accused of not treating them equally.

    Interesting question for you guys. What will be Vincent Kennedy McMahon’s legacy?

    Big Cazz? Really? At least Emma is now going by her given name.

    In a word Wrestlemania.

    Deeper, the end of the territory system. Also being a technological fiend. There’s stuff of him talking about something that sounds a lot like Netflix something like 30 years ago.

    Yeah, for better or worse he's been a visionary and a genius.
    People laugh at him because he's in the wrestling business. They laugh at him for some of the failures he's had. And yet here we are, where he's the undisputed king of his industry and he's had so many successes to get to that point that it almost makes the fact he survived some of the truly colossal failures even more impressive. He seems to have done a good job of stocking his company with good people and grooming successors to carry on for a long, long time after he's gone.
    He has created the business and creative model, several times over, that the entire wrestling industry follows.

    That was way early in Andre's career. He's pretty thin here.

    I wonder if Gotch got the win there. Back then, a German suplex was a finisher.
