It's going to be the best TV weekend in a while...
NXT Takeover Brooklyn and the Full House Lifetime movie (on DVR) Saturday. SummerSlam on Sunday. And the fiance working a hospital shift both nights.

I'm going to go out on a limb to say the cover will be Finn Balor in full Demon mode. It would stand out on shelves.

Thank you so much for keeping this up and running. I can't wait to eventually read the next IYH, and find out who wins the polls.
I wonder who The Dynasty will get for their fifth man? Someone making a debut perhaps?
I like what you did with the jobber and the replica title. It'd be interesting to see that go somewhere.
You keep me interested with a fun read and I thank you for that. I look forward to more!

The end of Superstars was a little confusing. It's like it had no final match, just a description of what sounded like upcoming matches. Did I miss something there?
Interesting you used what was Austin's ECW debut as his WWF debut in your diary. Interesting to see how you use him from here on out. Can't wait for Triple Header. Good job!

WM 32 may be too soon, but let's say by WM 33, here's what I want to see...
Let's say that Kevin Owens wins the title from Reigns in some big upset, leading to a run as a dominant heel champ. I'd love to see Finn Balor move to the main roster, in which he eventually feuds with Owens for the WWE title.
It culminates in a match between the two at WM 33, in which it's heavily speculated on air whether or not Balor can repeat what he did in Japan when he won the NXT title from the same man. Balor would leave Orlando as the conquering new WWE champ.

another one. when kurt angle was a bad guy in wwe and his music would come one they chant you suck with the music. I was in attendance when we spontaneously started the "You Suck" chant, after Angle interrupted Triple H's big return at Madison Square Garden. The chant stuck until he left in 2006.

I love what you're doing in the Luger-Hogan feud. Weaving together WWF and WCW histories, and making them all part of storyline. You wouldn't really have seen that too much in the real Monday Night Wars. Great job!

When it came to WWF figures and my dad, he would travel the world for his job. Anywhere he'd go - mostly within the States - he'd see what figures other stores had. If he found one I hadn't had in my collection, he'd get it for me as a surprise when he got home. However, one particular story stands out...
It was either my mom or dad who had found an LJN Bobby Heenan in their everyday shopping, and saved it for an upcoming birthday or Christmas, or even a good report card. Whichever came first. Thing was, they hid the figure so well, they forgot about it. Then one ordinary day, my dad was getting ready for work and picking out a shirt/tie in the bedroom closet. All of a sudden, he was hit on the head when something dropped from the top shelf. It was the still-carded Bobby Heenan LJN. He couldn't stop laughing: 1) Because it hit him in the head, and 2) that he'd forgotten to ever give it to me. My mom comes in to find out what the commotion is, and she can't believe it either. So, since it was an overdue gift, they immediately call me upstairs, and present me with a figure I never knew existed, and quite an amusing tale. I thought it was my lucky day.

Well, I missed that by a mile. Great show, but my predictions were mostly way off. I also picked the wrong man to turn on Hogan. Great show though. Keep up the great work.

I've got an XBOX 360 with no plans on ever upgrading systems. I'd be forever happy with my old Nintendo consoles, but one day, my sister's boyfriend at the time gave me an extra 360 that he had, because he couldn't believe I didn't own a modern system. That all said, I'm very much on the fence about getting WWE 2K16. The temptations for me would obviously not only be a mostly-current roster of guys and gals, but definitely a separate section for the NXT stars. To be able to play with Balor, Owens, Breeze, Zayn, etc, presumably all on disc would be awesome.
However, to this day, I still have fun with WWE 2K14. Once I unlocked everything there was, I immediately sold WWE '11, '12, and Legends of WM to GameStop. To be able to play with the guys I grew up watching, some who may not get a chance to be in another game, is awesome. Also, I love having the first 29 WM arenas at my disposal. At three of which, I was present and accounted for. So it feels like I'm in the game, sitting in the crowd. I know it wouldn't mean I'd have to give up playing 2K14 entirely, but the investment of time in unlocking every character, arena, and title in a brand new game, is daunting to me. I had to do it twice in 2K14, when I hit the eject button at the wrong time. I guess a big factor in sticking with what I got is, always being able to play as CM Punk. He was't completely axed in 2K15, but I have a feeling he'll be history in 2K16. While it's obvious that 2K16 will have Legends in its midst, possibly including an on-disc Sting, too many will be out, of which I'm used to playing with.
I guess I'll just do as I did with 2K15. Wait for reviews and YouTube clips of game play after it's been out awhile. I may see I've dodged another bullet - or I may think it's the greatest since sliced bread. But for now, I'm happy in 2K14.

I've always been a mark for Dusty color commentary. Both on WCW Saturday Night, and WWE's FCW.
I'm just glad I was able to see one of his last matches in person, 15 years ago. I was fifth row for ECW's Living Dangerously 2000, when Dusty met Steve Corino in a Bullrope match.
Never met the guy in person, but I always appreciated his charisma. The world lost another great one.

Awesome Raw episode, dude. Loved Liger's big debut. Although, if I had one nit-pick, it almost came off as an afterthought. In the real-world WWF, I can see them hyping Liger's debut like there was no tomorrow. A small thing, but I'm excited to see where he goes from here.
The Razor-Vader saga just got interesting. Can't wait for Triple Header and see it unfold further. Who is the new WWF President? Can't wait to find out!

I love how you take instances that actually happened (In this case, Lex Luger jumping) and put your own twists to them. I love how Luger spoke so freely about the WWF on Nitro. I can't wait to read the eventual Hogan-Luger WCW title match, or Luger's shot at the belt - regardless. Good work!

I'm really enjoying this Razor-Vader story, and how you put a twist on Vader's actual WWF entry. Who will be named new president at Triple Header? Piper? Perhaps someone jumping from WCW? Can't wait to find out. Great job, man.
