Welcome to My (And Not Sly's) House
Yep.
Just started watching the show. I didn't want to do it last night when I was still in orbit.

I'm re-watching it right now. The ending to the battle royal is just as awesome as it was last night

doesn't know REAL wrestling...
In years to come, could we look back at the Daniel Bryan run between Mania XXIX and XXX and rank it as highly as say HHH in 2000 as one of these best in terms of in ring performance?

let's try this again: Seeing as Paul Heyman masterminded the destruction of the Streak, he's kayfabe at least in with a shout of greatest manager ever, right?

I hate to admit it as a big Heenan fan but yeah you have to go with it now.

Whether or not Brock was the right choice to break the Streak, we're both in agreement it at least had to go to an established name who could deal with that sort of stigma, yes?

Welcome to My (And Not Sly's) House
Indeed. You don't want to give it to someone who can't handle that pressure. This is a big deal and he's the only person that can ever do it.

Cena could have handled it, I feel, and he's the only other real choice I could think of to give it to, but at the same time you don't really want to do that to him.

That was the only dream match left. It would still be huge but not as huge.

What's the biggest OMG moment in history? (OMG as in that moment that makes you mark out like Austin coming out to talk to Hogan.)
What's the biggest shocker of all time? (E.g: Hogan turns heel and Lesnar ends the streak)
Could you see yourself in the crowd when you watched 'Mania again?

"Look at this! HE SLAMMED HIM!"
Hogan turns heel.
Not at all. I was back in a corner.

With the events of Mania XXX and the Raw after having gone down, if WWE gave you a call today and asked you to map out Bryan's current title reign how would you handle the following:
What opponents/feuds do you place him in where he emerges victorious?
When do you have him drop the strap and to who? And Where?
What would you have in store for Bryan directly after dropping the title?

In the past I've read that you believe Bryan's on the level of say a Jericho. Is he beyond and above that now?
I have a bunch of questions so here it goes:
Within the first year how successful with Global Force Wrestling be
Is Toby Keith enough of a investor for Jarrett's spending habits
What will the ROH major announcement be
We don't know the Punk situation what the hell is going on Have they kept him away from Bryan for WM & the night after to possibly set up a surprise for Extreme Rules If not who should Bryan's opponent be for that PPV Also if this isn't the plan maybe having a mix tag at SSlam of HHH/Steph vs AJ/Punk Which one is the best one if he does come back
Do you feel WWE is keeping everyone in the dark on the Punk situation because of future storyline because if negotiations have broken down then why don't they just release him
Will Bryan's reign solely depend on any possible influx of his merch sales
Or will his reign be much shorter than Punk's because of no future storyline i.e. Rock with Punk
Could they turn Cena on Bryan by SSlam without turning Cena heel

What's good about NXT (never watched)?
Apparently, the show focuses more on wrestling moves. Do any of the matches focus on stories? I find those story-oriented matches to be a lot better than what you would expect in ROH, I mean the Cena and Wyatt match at 'Mania was the match of the night in my eyes and that was a story based match. Can I get that at NXT? I'm not expecting a match on story completely like a John Cena or a Hulk Hogan match, but is there some element of it?

Just a blind guess, since we haven't watched any episode of it yet, how many years do you think should it take for Jeff Jarrett's new wrestling promotion to catch up with Impact Wrestling in terms of TV ratings?

Sweet goodness I've been gone 14 hours and this is overflowing.
Not really. SHe needs to drop the NXT one without losing it.
Orton, Batista, HHH. One PPV each, no rematches.
Bray WYatt, Night of Champions. This sets up Cena vs. Wyatt II at TLC, then Brock wins the Rumble and it's Brock vs. Cena II for the title at Mania 31.
Brock Lesnar.
Not really. Kozlov killed himself with what was called a horrible match (it wasn't). Rusev won't get caught in that trap.
YESx3.
Staying afloat will be a good sign for them.
No.
Probably something Japanese.
You need to let the Punk thing go. He doesn't seem to be coming back.
Solely? No.
Not really but it's possible.
It's not so much about the wrestling moves as much as it's booked like a wrestling show. THat might not make sense so some extra details might help.
The show is booked week to week instead of month to month. In WWE, you go have to have a major show ready every month because there's a PPV every month. You know the ending to the story and the beginning is set up the night after a PPV. The middle is filled in over the next few weeks.
NXT doesn't have a big show every month and the stories are allowed to develop. As in you'll rarely get a match set up a month in advance. Instead it's "wrestler A attacks wrestler B one week, then they yell at each other, then a match is made for a week later. The storytelling goes beginning, middle, end rather than make the beginning, set up the end, then come back to the middle.
Also the fans are like ECW crowds but funny and intelligent. For instance, Alexander Rusev squashed a bunch of jobbers and the fans wanted to see him lose. One week a jobber wasn't named. The chant: "LET'S GO THIS GUY!" It's a much more laid back and fun show rather than WWE pounding humor into your head and making everything else THE MOST SERIOUS MOMENT EVER!
Depends on the network, time slot etc.

You were there live. Was Cena's reaction nearly as bad in person as it appeared on TV? I can't remember the last time he was so heavily booed outside Chicago or a bingo hall.

It was AWFUL. Did the "JOHN CENA SUCKS" to the tune of his music come through clearly on TV?
