    I was doing some entrance music research on the Network which elicited a couple of random thoughts:

    - Boy, WWE must have seen NOTHING in Matt Morgan. They brought him up from OVW to associate with Brock, then Brock left and they sent him back down after only 3 months. He was in OVW for another WHOLE YEAR, brought back up, then released after only about another 3-4 months on the main roster. Clearly they figured he wasn’t worth the effort, considering how quickly they jettisoned him after another year of seasoning resulted in zero improvement.

    - Nobody ever talks about the team of Paul London and Brian Kendrick, who I had considered to be one of my favorites, but I hadn’t watched a match of theirs for years, so I was wondering if I had my rose-colored glasses on……GOD DAMN they’re good. I always liked their unique entrance, with the fast music, sprinting to the ring with the weird masks, and flipping off the turnbuckles. Then they’re running around doing all this exciting stuff, incredibly fun to watch. I rewatched the 4-way ladder match at Armageddon ‘06, which also included the Hardyz, MNM, and William Regal & Dave Taylor, and they were really impressive. Great match, even though this is also the match Joey Mercury had his face shattered.

    Unfortunately they were around during a low point for the tag division, and didn’t have much competition. I mean, other than MNM, possibly their most notable feud was against Deuce and Domino…ugh. If they were around today, they would have gotten much more recognition.

    Pretty good episode of DSOTR on Terry Gordy. Just wished they would've covered a bit more of his career here in the states.

    Feel bad for Darby that he can't climb Mt. Everest now, but it could be a blessing in disguise. Kinda comical that he legit broke his foot before breaking it in the angle to keep him off tv while he attempted the climb. Any bets that Tony Khan paid for his permit to make the climb?

    Wouldn't it be something if Cody got legit injured during Night 1 and it totally fucks up the main event of Night 2?

    Ya know, I have a thought. I find it very interesting that in both of the Main title matches the Champions have taken a backseat to other feuds within the match. Rock and Cody are now a thing, Roman taking the backseat. Punk and Drew essentially trying to break each other during that promo segment last night and all the trolling Drew has been doing on Punk with his new Merch he has, leaving Seth as kind of an afterthought in everything. BUT, we all know that Roman considers himself the "Final Boss" and has since he got the title but now Rock is being called the "Final Boss". What if, maybe ....... just maybe it isn't Rock that turns on Roman like everyone is thinking. What if Roman turns on the Rock because of all this????? And thats what kickstarts the build to Rock vs Roman down the line. Just a thought.

    As long as Cody doesn't get the title and finish his stupid "story" I'll be happy.

    I know you dislike Cody but even indirectly hoping he gets injured is uncalled for

    Not wishing that on him. Just saying it's been known to happen at the worst time. Just look at Shane McMahon last year. He did a simple move and blew out his ACL. Cody is a bit injury prone and Rollins isn't in good shape as well.

    I'm really surprised they let Punk get away with that dig at Vince.

    Newest rumor going around is that MJF will debut at Mania and cost Cody the title. I'm all for that!

    Wow, I can’t even imagine the scathing promo MJF would cut on him.

    There’s also Damian Priest in there as a wild card, since he still has MitB. Maybe Cody wins but Priest immediately takes it from him? Also possible Reigns retains but is so weakened Priest pins him easily. WM ends with Judgment Day on top :D 

    No idea which way this will go, and that’s a good thing. No obvious outcome like HHH in 2002.

    Haven't they also made it to where the MITB winner can cash on on lesser titles? I mean why would he though, right?
