I'm not sure where I'm at putting the strap on Bubba. He needs, strap or not, to get off this mocking his calves thing. I always thought the Devon as 218 lbs. thing was hilarious, but that was mocking a strong point. But mocking a weak point, on a guy who should be a monster heel, takes away from the monster a bit.
Thoughts on Steiner tweets, which I was aware of but hadn't read:
Spot on on the Indian promotion. They should be at least giving updates on it and the Mexican promotion.
Magnus is 25? I would've thought 35.
I'd heard the Pritchard gatekeeper to Dixie thing before. It's interesting that kind of really internal office stuff would get out. She's always seemed pretty pro- the "boys", so to suddenly be insulated is just strange. And to have BP be the conduit to get to her is even weirder. Makes we wonder if Brother Love is perhaps still pulling a cheque from the E. Even if not, something's really not right there.
If you're legit turning your booking over to Hogan and/ or Bischoff, you're fucked in the head. If you're that hard up for a brain trust bring in Kevin Sullivan. Or Paul Heyman. Or Jim Mitchell. Or Scott Levy. They'll push themselves, of course, but at least it would be entertaining.
Paper plates and plastic forks? Fuck you, Big Poppa. Bring your own china if it's that big a deal, you pussy.
Not mentioned, but why the fuck is Austin Aries a face? I hate turning a guy for no fucking reason at all. None. No catalyst at all, but he has his nose in the fed's top face Garrett Bischoff's ass. What?
The Knockouts continue to be the most entertaining part of the promotion.
Hopefully Sabin's return will improve the tag team division, but I see more pushing the Guns to the moon until the PPV, then not hearing about them for 6 months.
You know where Steiner lost me? At the height of the nWo, he got arrested for punching some guy in a road rage incident. In his booking photo, he's wearing a fucking nWo shirt. I'm old school when it comes to merch. To me, it was like wearing a KISS shirt to a KISS concert. It's just too shameless of self promotion, with some douchebaggery mixed in.
But he does make a lot of sense in a Doctorate in Phys. Ed. kind of way.
