      Is that going to be some kind of supernatural gimmick match?

As over as anyone in the history of the business, then the WM9 debacle and his early run in WCW and fans got sick of him and then the nWo comes along and we get Hollywood Hogan
        In terms of top good guys being consistently booed, Cena probably is the only real comparable. Reigns now is exactly what Cena should've been 10-15 years ago, and just further proves what many said years back about how a heel Cena could actually be better than a face one.

          Do they make someone like Dragon Lee one of the stars of NXT Mexico?

            AJ Styles suffered an ankle injury at a live event.

            Hopefully not too serious, but as we're getting closer to the rtwm, it's definitely not the time you want to see guys going down.

            He was scheduled for the main event of the house show in Toronto tonight vs Seth Rollins inside a steel cage (apparently this main event has been changed a few times already), which makes me even happier I sold my tickets when I did. Got back my money and then some (I charged way less than everyone else and someone bought it, though I paid way less than that during the presale), and now people are trying to sell their tickets for tonight at a much lower price than I sold mine.

            I figured with SD tonight, and it being the holidays, that this house show probably wouldn't have been as worth it, though on paper it was hard turning down a show with Becky vs Bayley vs Bianca and Rollins in a cage.

                Next WWE event here is in March. A Saturday show. Any idea if Saturday house show are a Raw or SD house show? Either way I got my tickets. Hopefully with RTWM we see guys like Edge show up, maybe Bloodline shows up if it's a SD show.

                  The Saturday I went to was Raw, but I think there were a couple "Smackdown" superstars as well, but like 90% Raw.

                    AJ just confirmed on his Twitter he broke it.

                      That really sucks. First and foremost it sucks for AJ and you just hope for his speedy recovery.

                      To the other parts of this, it really sucks for Gallows, Anderson and Mia as it's a tough break for them to lose the most important part of their stable and kind of leaves them in limbo as not too many people in the audience are going to care much about them without AJ.

                        To be fair, other than the night Gallows and Anderson came back, there hasn’t been much reason to care about AJ for awhile. He’s one of my favorites but he’s been Ziggler adjace for awhile now.

                          I've looked at the live events schedule and they're doing 2 different tours that weekend. One in the US, one in Canada.

                          The US one seems to have the Raw stars advertised and Canadian one has SD ones advertised. I know, card subject to change, but I hope that stays how it is.

                          Hoping Edge is at that one. If what Edge hinted at comes true, then this will be the last event in Toronto until his retirement at Summerslam.

                            She’s held a major title every year for a decade straight. Absolutely absurd over pushing

                              At some point they decided she needed to be thought of as the all time greatest female wrestler. Pretty early on they made that call. And if they say it enough they think people will believe it. Piling up the title reigns is part of that I guess.

                              I haven't watched a Charlotte match in years, but what I remember is her being reasonably athletic, ok in the ring, doing her dad's strut and wooo constantly (so cringe and lame), and just in general being all pomp and no circumstance. But she is held up as a pioneer and a reason why women's wrestling is taken more seriously now.

                                I can confirm that this is all still true.
