    Sure. There’s a lot of factors involved.

    Becky can come back whenever she wants. She’s more than earned it.

    just thinking about the wrestling reddit and twitter jakals who will be saying its too soon or too late, whatever she decides, makes my skin crawl.

    Finally finished the first chapter of the Undertaker series on the Network. Absolutely brilliant.

    Getting to pull back the curtain on Undertaker is like going behind the scenes on Marlon Brando or Howard Hughes.

    He’a been so protective of the character, and even in character, has rarely shown too much of himself, other than the American Badass character.

    It’s like, we know he’s a heavily tattooed guy named Mark, who has a wife, been divorced at least once, has kids, maybe grandkids (I think. How cool would it to have him as a grandfather?), is religious, does charity work, eats actual food, is a huge Texas Longhorns football fan, has suffered numerous crippling injuries from his line of work, and yet that little bit of kid in me still thinks he sleeps in coffins.

    That’s how incredible he’s played his role.

    His episode of the Broken Skull Sessions with Steve Austin was great. Terrific glimpse behind the curtain.

    A while back on here, I posted an interview he gave with a minister. There was a little bit of religion in it, but mostly he talked about his career and life. He was quite funny and engaging, which was so the opposite of his character.

    She ain't kidding about that damn formula. One of the greatest moments of our parenthood was getting to move our son on to regular milk.

    For those watching nxt, is Balor a face now? Does the attack being revealed as by Priest make him a heel?

    the abscense of a crowd has made turns real confusing. Balor just turned, has maybe 1 feud as a true heel? Granted his character is still going to be “bad ass” and not the “white meat” it was before the turn but this seems awfully fast

    I listened to it, and it was quite good. Jericho says in the beginning that he wanted to focus more on Owen as a person instead of how he died, which, I would think, was also want Martha wanted. She told some good stories about them traveling together around the world early in his career, talked about her lawsuit a little bit after Owen died, her relationship (or lack of it) with the Hart family now and what she and her kids (who are now grown) are doing today.

    It’s a good hour and a half listen.

    Yeah, it was pretty gentle, aside from the end with the lawsuit and the splintering with the family. I'm sure the scandalous stuff will be saved for the doc.
