One drunken night, I had a really profound thought. I started to say it, but forgot the end halfway through speaking. What came out was... "it's better to be happy...than to not" ... frankly I think it's still fuckin beautiful 😂

The WCW and Summerslam watch parties on YouTube are invaluable. Today I sw The Warlord with a full head of hair for the first time.

All the Reigns/Rollins hype vids have done is remind me that we've seen this 527 times over the years. Reigns is a Hogan/Austin/Rock/Cena/Lesnar level player. Rollins is a great in wrestler but a lousy face and he's turned far too many times to be worth anything in wwe anymore.

I just watched an Alfred Hayes promo compilation vid on YouTube. As someone who only knew WWF interviewer/announcer Hayes this was an eye opener. The man was a born heel!

I really hope Aldis and Gunther have belter. Wrestling needs a good European injection. These two could steal the weekend

[Andy Bryan 🆎️ @theandybryan]

WWE has let too many wrestlers cool off in the last 6-12 months. Most when they looked sure to step up a level.
Dominic
Dragunov
Breakker
Kit Wilson
Jacob
Chelsea
Hendry
Fenix
Tama & Tala

Penta's IC run is disappointing. Street Profits used sporadically. Gargano comatose.

[Andy Bryan 🆎️ @theandybryan]

Joe Hendry should turn heel on Danhausen.
Imagine being a comedy act in the same company as Danhausen.
It's like hiring a bodyguard for Brock Lesnar.

[Andy Bryan 🆎️ @theandybryan]

I'm actually half looking forward to Jacob, Jimmy & Jey vs The Midcard Express at #Summerslam

[Andy Bryan 🆎️ @theandybryan]

I dare @wwe to turn someone heel at Summerslam without having them hit or kick someone in the balls.

[Anon Opin. @anon_opin]

Goalkeepers who scream at their defence every time they have to make a save - that's your fucking job mate. You're paid to do it. Imagine a postman screaming at homeowners every time they had to deliver a letter.

Already sick of the new picture craze on twitter. Piss all the way off

[Andy Bryan 🆎️ @theandybryan]

Now this is fully agree with. I'd much rather a wrestler look furious at a kick out (there's even room for a little desolation on occasion) but the surprised-bordering-on-fearful face is a mood killer.

[Dave Meltzer @davemeltzerWON]

Pretty please, all talent, when an opponent kicks out of a big move don’t do that shocked face. It comes across so fake because it's done so often as a trope, and is actually a major detriment to the match. Basically if it’s a great near fall, it takes the crowd from being into the excitement of the match to “oh, they are doing a fake pro wrestling performance.”

[Andy Bryan 🆎️ @theandybryan]

So Raw opened with a match instead of a promo for the first time in 7 months and had no women's matches for the first time in years.
I like the change of formula, minor though it is.
Shame about Breakker having to sell for Otis & Tozawa though.

[Andy Bryan 🆎️ @theandybryan]

Saturday Night's Main Event was weird. The Knicks tie-ins all felt like local market house show stuff and will have been lost/uninteresting to fans outside New York.

[Andy Bryan 🆎️ @theandybryan]

@virtualpuppydog I remember seeing him on Gladiators (UK version). He was the heelish Oblivion. Only 19 when he did that apparently.

[Andy Bryan 🆎️ @theandybryan]

I think WWE have seriously overdone people getting kicked in the balls.
It's like they find something that works and gets a pop one time and say "Perfect, that's our goldmine" then just do it over and over... and over until it's no longer over.

[Andy Bryan 🆎️ @theandybryan]

Just to capture a bubble of wrestling history, between Jan 93 to Mar 94, WWF presented 7 Pay-Per-Views.
Across these 7 shows, Bret Hart wrestled 12 matches in total.
He never felt 'shoved down our throats' or overexposed.
The Hitman doesn't get the credit he deserves.

[Rob Naylor @NINaylor]

Happy birthday to Sean Waltman

Here’s some highlights of an awesome Superstars match vs Pat Tanaka

[Andy Bryan 🆎️ @theandybryan]

@ShaneHelmsCom He's seen some things... I wouldn't recommend it

England is now a Mediterranean country:

We have hot weather, a shit economy, and a good football team.
