It is, I enjoy it when the old timers that were actually decent have some good stories to tell. Bobby the Brain comes to mind...poor guy though, he was already heading down...
The Hall of Fame is a joke anyway
If the network had a show that was just old timers telling road stories, I'd watch ever second of it.
Not sure why. It just is.
I don't qualify listening to Ryback tell a story about how he fucked up a match as "entertaining."
Ryback is a joke, I don't understand why do this guys which seem capable can't fucking train and learn how to wrestle...is it so hard when you're getting paid to train to just try and learn something? Ryback, Cena, all them mongrels, jesus, they seem flexible and athletic enough so what gives?

I don't qualify Michael Hayes working every conversation into reminding us he was a member of The Freebirds every two minutes
No amount of training would put Reigns on or anywhere close to Rocky's level. The Rock wasn't an extremely gifted wrestler from a technical perspective but he had excellent pacing, psychology, and charisma in the ring. He was more than athletic enough and his offense and selling were convincing (his fucking basic elbow drop with theatrics was the most over finisher in wrestling for a while there). And he was actually in shape, whereas Reigns wears a fat vest and has to take a half hour nap during the Rumble. And his mic skills are in an entirely different galaxy from Reigns. Reigns lacks his comedic timing, his pure charisma, his mannerisms.
Surprise surprise, Roadblock was fucking awful.
Hell be remembered more for being Doc Hendrix, and the guy that held the mic at King of The Ring when Austin beat Jake Roberts.
Will he really? Up until probably around 2005 they never mentioned Hayes by name holding that mic( Hayes himself will remind you he was during the Legends table ) and rarely mentioned it was Jake that he beat.
I really enjoyed the first half of the match between Trips and Ziggler tonight. It was an absolute time capsule until it got stupid with all the false finishes.
I feel that the constant kickouts of finishers is just another example of the big problem with how matches are booked these days. I just miss the days of a finisher actually, you know, finishing the match.
And what did that finish get either guy? As good as it started, it ended horribly. Sorry, but a loss wouldn't have hurt Trips at all and it only would have helped Ziggler.
So even after the great start, turned into just another shit match with no meaning whatesoever.
EDIT: LOL At Roman Reigns being booed the whole time he was beating on Trips.
WWE needs to face facts. This guy's time has passed unless they turn him heel.
