-- I like the idea of HH replacing DB, as GM of SDLive.
However, considering the E not only avoided him during a time he probably needed some support, but also trying to erase his legacy.. I wouldn't blame Hogan one bit, if he opted to never return to WWE. With that $100m+ he won last year, it's not like he's hard up for cash, to have to go back anyways.
Hell, make a surprise appearance at an ROH event, let him say what he needs to get off of his chest publicly, put over the promotion as a sign of a middle-finger to Vince McMahon and retire on his own terms. I'd probably have a ton of more respect for him, if he were to do such a thing.

-- Awesome ya got to meet her. She's something else. Met her at Axxess last year, paid her a compliment and she lit up with that smile. My only regret was not asking her for her # (Ric was sitting right next to her, so that might've been awkward). And I remember Tim White being there too, he's like a coordinator, I believe. Anyways, enjoyed the video, was well done! \m/ Agreed on both charges beniot is innocent Charlotte could be the next Chyna hope shes the US champ like her Grandfather one day -- Thank you for the cause! \m/ And I've honestly never thought of that: Charlotte could be what Chyna could've been. That's an astute observation man!

-- Height of The Night: DZ vs. Nakamura was an instant classic! Exceeded their previous PPV match!
Burst of The Worst: Women's Money In The Bank Rematch. Ok, amazing white heat is created for Carmella & James, thus giving her that heel boost and taking her to the next level. But no, let's not only make her look phony on Talking Smack (contrived doesn't even do that segment justice), but let's take away the 1 thing that would've helped propel her that next platform - just because people are upset with the outcome, originally. THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT BEHIND HEAT IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! Unpopular Decisions!! Especially when you had that arbitrary loop-hole that a non-existent rule was broken..... I swear, a RAW writer pitched for the rematch next week! Even if Carmella wins, it won't be as awesome as Sunday's win, thus tainting what would've been great for her character.

-- Not to sound pessimistic or morbid, but if Harley passes, I can see Randy getting the win "in his honor/dedication", considering the event's in Missouri. Not sure of the length given towards Jinder's title reign, but this would be a special exception - that might lead to a rubber match on SDLive, where Jinder possibly regains it...
Anyways, thought of that earlier and just couldn't shake that concept.

-- I like the idea. Creates a new element for the winner.
Still think Joe should've debuted at the Rumble this year, won it, appeared on both RAW & SDL (since he would've been considered a Free Agent (( If Health can appear on both shows as a FA, Joe absolutely could)) ) - just to tease who he would be challenging. Joe chooses to face Cena, who never would've dropped it at the Chamber, and instead we would've gotten Joe vs. Cena for the strap, while we could've gotten a much healthier Rollins vs. Triple H, cause Joe would've never damaged Seth's knee. Sorry, space-time continuum......
Point is, if the RR winner gets a choice, then the company can decide to pull the trigger on which main event looks better.

-- When Sheamus & Cesaro claim that they're "The Bar", the first thing I think of is DZ.
Dolph IS 'The Bar' in the E (well on SDL anyways).
I think DZ himself knows his role in the company, at this point. He had the chance to walk away and become huge elsewhere, last fall. He resigned, because I feel, the company needed him to be 'the bar' for the incoming talent, to measure against. If anything, that's a HUGE thumbs up in respect, to DZ from WWE, to be given that status.
It's exactly the same role Tito Santana had in the company, after his split with Martel. Tito never won another title, but he didn't need to because he was 'the bar'. If Curt Hennig were alive today, he'd tell you the exact same thing! And in complete honesty, I feel Benoit would've eventually became 'the bar', on the wwECW brand, 10yrs ago. Ya make your mark, then you're sole purpose is to elevate guys to your level (and beyond).
I firmly believe that's why they pitted Nakamura against DZ, immediately when Shin debuted. If you can put on a great match, look good, sell good, charisma matches up with (or surpasses) DZ's..... you're officially in consideration for Main Event status.
So to the fans who are complaining about DZ not getting another shot or not where he's supposed to be.... I call rubbish on all of that! If anything, his hard work has gotten him that spot in the company, that's probably pretty prestigious in the eyes of the agents backstage.

-- Always said Joe vs Brock would be amazing to see. Now that's going to be a reality, along with the segment last night, I'm pretty pumped for this feud to be quite honest.
Nia has GREEN written all over her! It's not just how she handles the other women, but little things like her delayed reactions or almost looking like a deer in headlights at certain moments. That's Rookie 101 that always makes me cringe, on top of the unnecessary physical abuse on the women smaller than her (which is every one of them lol).
Miz & Ambrose... I never look forward to seeing those 2 work against eachother and I get bored at just the thought of them engaging further into the feud, but when they're out there... I can't look away because both guys are just so good! And years from now, this feud is going to be legendary and looked back on with pride - I get that. I just rather see them feud with others, knowing the magic they create ha, it's weird.
The Cruiserweights.... I appreciate Neville's lengthily title run, even though a quick swap to Aries would've been nice. As a heel, TJP needs new 8bit music. His theme now is too babyface'ish. He needs a theme that sounds like the 2nd level of NES OG Super Mario Bros. if he's gonna remain heel. Akira on the fence could be interesting; I have a feeling he might wind up becoming this generation's Tajiri (minus the mist)... and that's not a bad thing, especially if we get an Akira/Kalisto feud. And speaking of Kalisto, I really want to see him take on some 205'ers, after this Titus Brand feud. Later on, maybe even a run with the strap, before returning to take on the bigger guys and possibly reclaim a mid-card title in the future (since it seems like he's this generation's Rey Mysterio Jr).
It's almost sad I'd completely forgotten about Slater/Rhyno until last night. Depending on where the Hardys go from here, Heath and Rhyno could've been made to look a LOT better, dare I say even defeat C&S in that non-title match, starting a feud, even if it were a brief one at that. It's almost like their SDLive Tag Title run meant nothing, at this point, if they're not going to be used properly.
Show-Enzo was great! Lil guy doing the shtick and the big guy psych-out into an improve impression... classic! Cass being laid out is another intriguing plot twist. Some of you have said it's The Revival rehashing an NXT angle; I wasn't a subscriber to the network at that time, so if that's the case, it's going to be new to me. And anything the Revival touches, I'm already invested!
Reigns vs Bray, I think is another example, of a match I don't really look forward to watching, but when it's happening, I can't look away. Bray's clotheslines look (and sound) lethal. Roman's face after taking that, was priceless! Awesome sell.
Seth Rollins, as always, is still the FREAKIN' man! Great promo, gave Joe the rub for his momentum, guy's a huge asset for the company. Speaking of that backstage bit, I got goosebumps when Joe got in Kurt's face, knowing their history 10yrs ago. It's a shame the E won't acknowledge that, but understandably so.
Grade: B- It was pretty average this week, but what bumped it up to a B- was the Miz-Mar/Ambrose segment that played out quite well.

so glad they havent used demon king since his return.. saving it for something big -- I agree. The Big 4 events, a different design will draw good numbers for merch and the like, but just as importantly, will really have that POP factor at each of those events.

If Brock does indeed hold the title he should at least wrestle at every PPV going forward. -- Yeah good luck with that, while he laughs in his fat pile of cash.

-- Absolutely none. 1. If they're already retired, chances are ring rust has set in. 2. If they're already retired, something in their mind is certain that they can't perform at the level they way to any longer. This would hinder any attempt at proving yourself, your fans, ect. otherwise! and that co-insides with 3... Time passing/Age. Just look at Taker's mobility. Or Sting's mobility, 2 years ago. This is why I'd rather see Kurt Angle performing in the ring RIGHT NOW, rather than time wasting with him as a GM. Of course, The E tends to always pull the trigger on things at most times, being the wrong time. It's not so much that aspect of it, rather than dream match scenarios. But okay.. -- Opinions will vary.
