I try to appreciate what Randy Orton does, but it just never lasts. Dude either looks like a goof or bores me to sleep 90% of the time.

I think it is because Orton is bored 90% of the time. When he's actually into a match (like his match with Styles a few weeks ago) he can be entertaining to watch because he's one of the most solid "fundamental" wrestlers in WWE. If he gives a damn, he can make the other person shine.

Cornette is inducting the Rock n Rollers.

Vince is going to let him go on an unhinged 10 minute rant about how Vince Russo ruined wrestling before he cuts his mic.

He has actually softened his position on WWE in the recent months, so it might be tame.

I thought this had already been reported; I'm pretty sure I saw Meltzer cover that Cornette was doing it and that it wasn't surprising at all.
 
Roman Reigns has a near-insurmountable task ahead as he prepares to take on The Undertaker at WrestleMania. But first he’ll need to resolve his unfinished business with Braun Strowman, who has been on the warpath since his defeat to The Big Dog at WWE Fastlane.

This past Monday on Raw, after Reigns shrugged off the warnings of WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels and vowed to retire The Deadman during The Ultimate Thrill Ride, Strowman blindsided “The Guy” and left him reeling on the entrance ramp. Because of this attack, Raw General Manager Mick Foley scheduled a match between the warring rivals this Monday night on Raw. Will Reigns be able to conquer The Monster Among Men as his fateful WrestleMania battle with The Phenom draws closer?

After attempting to “fire” Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon and being humiliated in the middle of the ring by Triple H, General Manager Mick Foley had finally had enough, sliding his right hand into his trusted Mr. Socko and applying the dreaded Mandible Claw to The Cerebral Assassin.

This Attitude Era-esque moment brought the WWE Universe in Detroit’s Joe Louis Arena to its feet before Stephanie saved her husband with a low blow to Foley, but longtime fans of The Hardcore Legend will be far less enthused about what happens next. Triple H and Stephanie don’t exactly forgive and forget, so one wonders if Foley’s days as Raw GM are now numbered

The Ultima thrillride??

Per Brock Lesnar advocate-turned-physicist Paul Heyman, “F-5 = Lesnar goes up, down goes Goldberg.” Heyman is known for hyperbole in certain instances, but after The Beast Incarnate finally got the better of the Universal Champion on the March 6 edition of Raw by way of that finishing maneuver, it’s much easier to believe that Lesnar’s bout with Goldberg at WrestleMania will be far different from the big men’s recent encounters at Survivor Series and Royal Rumble.

Indeed, Lesnar’s successful attack on Goldberg proved to be an appropriately stomach-turning twist for their rivalry en route to The Ultimate Thrill Ride. And as Lesnar ups his game in pursuit of redemption — not to mention the coveted Universal Championship — so, too, must Goldberg prepare for what could be his greatest battle yet.

Seth Rollins made a surprising appearance on Monday’s Raw to get some pre-WrestleMania retribution against Triple H. Unfortunately for Rollins, The Cerebral Assassin was one step ahead, brutalizing the would-be “Kingslayer’s” recently injured knee with his own crutch.

Rollins is no less resolute in his quest to take down The Game at WrestleMania, turning The Ultimate Thrill Ride into the ultimate nightmare for the calculating WWE COO. However, given Triple H’s ruthless barrage on The Architect’s knee, one must imagine that the chances of seeing Rollins hit the ring in Orlando are slim at best
 
So what's this 'Ikkitosen Deathmatch Survivor' in BJW? Is it like the G1 but for the Deathmatch title?

Big Japan alternates its deathmatch singles tournament and its hoss division tournament. Last year, they had the hoss division tournament. So, they have the deathmatch tournament this year. Nowadays, the deathmatch and hoss divisions don't interact as much, but they did have a tag tournament last year where the winners of the deathmatch bracket met the winners of the hoss bracket.
 
Yeah, pretty much - they also run the Ikkitousen Strong Climb tournament, which is for non-deathmatch heavyweights.

Oh OK that makes sense. So when's the payoff for it? What's their equivalent of the Tokyo Dome?

I get mad and insult you guys over wrestling all the time. Go ahead. Say something about wrestling. See what happens.

We argue over professional wrestling.

I was at a Magic the Gathering event yesterday and saw an entire draft table arguing over whether Kevin Owens has a real character. I thought they were joking at first, but they were being serious. They think Owens' is boring because he lacks a personality. Yes, that Kevin Owens.
