I don't get Brock being Champ. He doesn't work. He's like part time, part time if that.

Which is good. Seeing the WWE World Champion should be an event to see. Back in the day you'd have to wait until a PPV or SNME to see Hulk Hogan wrestle as champion. You'd never see him on Superstars or All-American Wrestling.

I agreed for a while, but WWE has played this pretty much perfectly. He broke the Streak and threw the top face in the company around like a ragdoll for a solid half hour. There really isn't anything credible left for him to do, so he doesn't have to be full time any more - he can pick his battles, and Heyman can do the talking for him. He's kinda like the secret final boss in the game. Or the new Undertaker, if you will.

Heyman is going to make some kids cry tonight on Raw.

Russo is a wrestling serial killer with all the companies he's killed.

What a gob****e PPV.

CENAWINSLOL...can live with Jericho winning, that feud needs more buildup...Miz wins the IC belt for no good reason...OUTRIGHT RENEGING ON THE ADVERTISED #2 MATCH ON THE CARD...I'm surprised more people aren't screaming for refunds based on that alone.

Summerslam better be legendary or Vince and company are in trouble.

Santino Marella has announced his retirement from in-ring competition, citing chronic neck injuries.

Hopefully he sticks around and WWE finds a use for his character.

Does this seem beneath a guy like Mick Foley, or am I just underestimating how depressing the post-career life of a pro wrestler (even a really famous and successful one) really is?

To note: On one hand, there is a WWE event in Green Bay in a few weeks. On the other hand, the Bullfrogs are lucky if they draw 1000 fans a game.

Also in his defense, Foley is a giant dork at heart. He probably jumped all over this chance.

Drew McIntyre jobbed to a midget in a bull costume. I am sad.

Per LOLDIRTSHEETS, it was Vince who made the call to break tStreak. Vince figured this was Taker's last match, said Taker could either win or lose but recommended losing, and Taker went along with it.

[Jimjamesak]

Seems like he did. Hogan Tweeted about his death in a very nice manner. Hogan was very cordial at the Hall of Fame as well.

Yeah, just saw that. I watched Raw not thinking his speech was basically his own eulogy.
