I'm digging LU too so far but Vampiro is real bad at commentary. I'm eagerly awaiting Cage, Mack and Joey Ryan. Good to see Ricky Reyes and B-Boy.

The final card for wrestlemania is almost complete ...man! it's not looking as anything special.
Excluding Neville/Aries and Jericho/Owens, i don't care
I hope i'm proved wrong, but this is shaping up to be one lousy WM...
I agree that the booking has been dumb for the most part and Owens (and all their talent for that matter) deserve better, but that's WWE's own fault, they don't take their current talent seriously and they have relied on part timers for a long time ago...
I don't mind Goldberg/Lesnar being for the title, actually it kind of elevates the strap, but it's so sad how it had to be
There's a rumor about the main event for next year's WrestleMania which will be ugh..... Brock Lesnar vs. Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal title.
@NYRexall Mathews (not the bad heel he's playing now) is better than JBL, Cole, Otunga, King, and Vampiro but not by much. I don't know how Otunga still has a job with WWE. Can't wrestle. Can't talk. Demoting King was long overdue. Cole is supposed to be leaving commentary soon for a backstage role and that can't come soon enough. I love that Jim Ross was too hillbilly for Vince so he hired JBL. Vampiro just sucks in between putting himself over.
Graves is the best WWE has right now. He is solid and will only improve over time. Striker has always been good. I miss Tenay. Excalibur is the fucking master, though. Nobody beats him but PWG is the best. Who even does commentary for ROH now that Kevin Kelly (who has always sucked), Steve Corino (fun but not great), and McGuinness (technically sound play by play but a bit boring) are all gone?
Corey Graves is great! i love his Pantera and Heavy Metal references...
It's pretty obvious they are going with Lesnar/Reigns after WM, at this point it's not funny anymore, i'm bored with this "guy".
Mauro Ranallo is good, he messes up at times, but he has tons of knowledge and he's not annoying like JBL or Boring like Otunga and Saxton.
Vampiro got better with time, but he isn't the best announcer, that's for sure...
I'm waiting for the next 20 episodes of season 3, but in the meantime i'm rewatching season 1
Page has had some images and some sexual videos leaked, poor girl.
Oh how could I forget Mauro?!! He's good too.
And yeah, I did see Paige "practicing."
Anyone here think a Balor heel turn is possible at Mania?
Is that Xavier Woods? I honestly hope not (he's engaged). The guy filming is Brad Maddox for sure. I mean, I guess we don't know how old these are.
Shes with ADR now so these would have to be older. Maddox hasn't worked for WWE in a bit.
So who do you think is a worse commentator? David Otunga or Josh Matthews? They both make heel Michael Cole sound like Good Ol' JR.
And as for this rumor of Brock-Roman for WrestleMania 34.... I would rather have the Miz headline WrestleMania again. Miz may not be a great wrestler but he is a fun character that at least has paid his dues unlike the Samoan Sissy.
Sucks for Page and Xavier. Doubt they're in any trouble. Might be a long time before we see her back though. They're the victims in this. Xavier will be fine. He might have been engaged during that time though or dating the girl he's married/engaged with. That probably won't be pretty.
Anyone catch the southpaw stuff? It's amazing.
I have seen the Southpaw stuff. It is hilarious. Please, have Rusev become a face. He's funny. Cena was also funny in a bland kind of way.
Gotta wonder if Cena was trying to be like Mean Gene. Either way, he was hilarious. Took me awhile to figure out the other announcer (also pretty funny). I won't spoil that. Watched three eps so far. It's amazing.
I also love seeing Jericho. The Surfer Dudes w/ Attitude. That one killed me.
Oh shit, I just thought of something. That movie about Paige and her family that the Rock is producing.... oh fuck....
Nice! Paige was the hottest girl for me from the women's roster (no one can compete with Jericho though), so this was a nice surprise early in the morning. But that belt shot was fucking hilarious... I sorta understand why they did that, but damn, I'd be pissed off if that was the original.
I just hope that when (if... but fingers crossed) she returns from being suspended/fired, they will use this for an angle on her. It would be stupid not to.
Southpaw is delightful. I think I know who everyone is except Chet Chetterfield (Fandango?) and the two guys with Jericho...were they Neville and Gotch? I watched it on my phone so the screen was tiny.

Yep, Fandango is Chet.
Looking forward to the "Nude Day Rocks" chants,,,
Some people make a way bigger deal out of this on social media. I really hope Paige will own up to this and not let herself dragged down. I liked her initial tweet and the lack of "BAH GAWD, IM GONNA LAWYER UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!".
Watched all 4 yesterday; pretty funny stuff. Something like Southpaw is a phenomenal way for guys to get over, and also space to practice character development and delivery.
As much as I dug the first 4 episodes of SPW, I couldn't also help but be a bit frustrated. As cool as it is to see them letting the Superstars grow their character(s) it's a damn shame that more of this isn't "allowed" on the tee-vee. Case in point - apparently, TJP is John Johnson. Where's this personality/charisma on Monday and Tuesday nights? Oh, right. He's not allowed to go off script and has to force video game puns into every promo. If anything, I couldn't agree more with this synopsis posted by Whatculture:
The overscripted nature of the modern word of pro wrestling stifles creativity, and Southpaw Regional Wrestling is a perfect example of what can happen when the talent is granted more freedom over their characters and angles: magic.
So. goddamn. exhausted.
Saturday I woke up at 5 Am and hit the road to Tennessee for a 10 hour drive. Got a 4 ways for a cruiser weight title shot, which i won..then a few matches later was my first round match for the cruiser weight tournament, which i lost..then the champion immediately granted me my title shot without giving me time to rest.. Which i lost... Then I hi the road for the 10 hour drive home..got home at 7AM on sunday, woke up at 11 am, hit the road to cleveland and had a tag match today. I LOVE Mondays.
Of course The New Day makes a subtle sex tape joke to Xavier on Raw.
