Solomonster on his latest podcast saying how highly he rates Sean Waltman.

Loved how he said the guy was superior to Kevin Nash in everything but height, and deserved to be a hall of famer in his own right. WAFG <3

Update on gimmicks.

- Axelmania is officially finished. He's working house shows in cargo shorts.
- Sandow is being considered for a rapping gimmick.
- Adam Rose and Brad Maddox are working live events in a sort of weird fitness gimmick as #BeefMode

Looking forward to Raw with some Piper tributes. Been watching lot of Roddy Piper stuff. What a heel he was. So much charisma.

I'm going through this now and I loved the small bit about how all the PPVs have no identity. I've been thinking about it because of Lucha's awesome identity. The temple, the closeness of the fans, all the places they can go to. WWE's is just so stale. I'm not sure what they can do about it, but man it's very boring. Maybe try something on Smackdown? God knows that needs an identity

Wow, Zack Ryder on RAW, expecting to see a pig fly by the window any minute now.

Rollins vs Neville was pretty gun, but I am very worried about the title for title challenge that has been issued to Cena....

Ambrose wearing a Piper t-shirt was gun also.

Yeah, I agree with him. The problem is the WWE seem to think that the best way to give PPVs their own identity is to make them into a PPV based entirely around a single gimmick match (e.g. Hell in a Cell), which also completely sucks imo.

I think, like he said, what can make a real difference is just having a distinct set/stage for each show rather than having one repackaged. But at the same time, I can see why the WWE don't bother, as there are effectively 4, or maybe even 3, PPVs each year that matter. I'm probably halfway between a casual and a serious fan these days, but I just cbf to watch most PPVs in their entirety these days, the only ones that I really look forward to are Royal Rumble, Mania and Summerslam.

Rollins vs Neville was awesome. I think Neville is the guy I enjoy watching most in the ring in the WWE right now. He's so good to watch.

Rollins vs Neville reminded me so much of HHH vs Taka Michinoku. From the champion being part of some authority heel faction (Authority/McMahon-Helmsley regime), cruiserweight underdog, great near fall, but it ends with a pedigree.

I wouldn't mind Cena winning the championship at Summerslam. So many new and interesting feuds you could push on him with the strength of the upper mid card right now. I'd rather Rollins wins though. Loving his work.

Loved that pedigree too, Neville sold it really well.
