Orton may have no personality, but let's not pretend like he isn't one of the best technical wrestlers on the roster. Corbin doesn't even have that going for him.

People tell me this, and I've never seen it. He has a limited moveset and executes his moves in a standard fashion. He's not sloppy but one of the best technical wrestlers? Swagger is sloppier, but I'd put even him ahead of Orton.
 
It's amazing how "high" the WWE is on the one uninteresting guy in all of NXT (Corbin) right now.

Because Vince McMahon. Give him a group of super talented indy guys and one former football player who is huge, has a great look, but is terrible on the mic and limited in the ring, and he will pick the latter ever. single. time.
 
Oh my god the Vader in kuwait incident. Vader and Undertaker are on a morning show in Kuwait when the interviewer asks Vader if wrestling is fake. Vader flips the table over and grabs the interviewer by the collar telling him he's going to kick his ass. Undertaker, dressed like BikerTaker, looked super uncomfortable

Finished this weeks LU and wow did they overdue the man on woman violence. There were two inter-gender matches and one segment were Mil Muertes terrorizes his ex-manager. One match with a good worker like Ivelisse or Sexy Star is kinda cool but this was way too much.

On the plus side, Alberto's run-in against Texano was well done. The audience really acts like he's a star. Too bad they aren't doing house shows or anything to take advantage of it. And Angelico, the guy Ivelisse beat, looks like Leo Messi's younger, bigger brother. So thats fun to think about.

Only when he actually tries. If Orton is in a match with a guy that won't make him work(like Cena) it will be boring as fuck.

For as hot as Orton was before he left (with the RKO Vines and people suddenly appreciating his work with him being booked as a tweener) I'm not missing him too much from the programming.

Especially since they will probably book him as a Cena type babyface.

He works very smoothly and all his stuff looks good. That helps. He got a pretty good match out of Reigns at Summerslam, something no one has done since. That alone gives him points in my book.

I miss Orton man....

You never know a good thing til it's gone :(

Man, I've been telling you guys that RKO is the best American professional wrestler for years. But nobody listens. Everyone just bullies me because everyone here apparently attends "Full Sail University."

During my first tour of Japan, twenty-five people dropped dead from heart attacks, just watching me on TV. Over my entire career, ninety-two people died because of "Classy" Freddie Blassie. But I've always said that was a disappointment. My ambition in life was to get one hundred.

Don't work yourself into a shoot Alucard. Your wife won't be happy about it.

It's a sure bet, dawg! No risk!

Alucard, I think you need an intervention.

I haven't been to a casino in years, friend, and I almost never gamble.

In the UK

Shit. Only in the UK?

No money to be made betting on pro wrestling

Eh, even if I make 30 bucks off of 20, it would be worth a shot.

Betting Lines update:

Money came in and Goldust is now going to win. So this could lead to Cody Rhodes coming back. Plus now the Authority is winning the six man tag. Gotta make Seth look strong.
 
Steve Austin beating the hell out of Bret Hart on this RAW. Wailed on his leg with a chair and kept him in a sharpshooter for around 5 minutes.
 
What would the return have been?
I think for the Undertaker match, before the odds swung right before the event, $100 on Lesnar would have net you something like 4k. Given the circumstances of that match, it's doubtful we'll ever see a potential payoff like that ever again of course.

What would have stopped Brock from betting like $10 million on himself?
Vegas booking for pro-wrestling is capped at $100, I think.

Really low betting limits. Like, they tend to be much higher than any pro wrestling fan could ever afford, but they're so low by real world standards that it just wouldn't be worth Brock's while to even set up an account.
