Does Ring of Honor always air late at night/early in the morning on NBC? We don't have cable, but I'm up visiting family and was flipping through channels. Nearly woke up the entire house in excitement when I came across it at like, 1 am

 

It's obviously going to happen (and sooner rather than later I'm sure) but still, fuck Hogan ever coming back to the company in any capacity.

 

Yes, various local news stations. I've been at bars on weekends and it'll come on at 1 AM. You get a lot of weird looks when you're the only one marking out for a man dressed as a peacock on the TV.

 

Yeah, basically. There is going to be a massive pop for him and The Rock in their home state.

 

If he just shows up like HBK/Stone Cold/Foley did last year at WM, then whatever. But if they put him in a match...cause Im already tired of washed up stars wrestling

 

It's on immediately following SNL for me

 

There's no way in hell Hogan would pass the WWE's stringent physicals. The positive buzz over the Gawker lawsuit has usurped the negative for the racist remarks, because our society is awful, so he'll be back to botch some brothers and head to the bank.

 

Friendly reminder RAW is overseas tonight so spoilers will be out before it airs.

 

There is no way he is wrestling. It's definitely going to be in the same capacity as Michaels, Austin, and Foley.

 

Spoilers are interesting, I guess.

 

I hate that Dolph's opponent will be revealed. Hope it's Sami.

 

It's Sami

 

What the hell was the point of the Strowman stuff?

 

How are we still plugging in crowd cheers for Roman Reigns in these video packages?

 

I laughed real hard when I heard that. I guess they'd have to re-imagine this storyline otherwise...

 

starting with Steph...things I havent missed

 

Annnnd I just realized that Raw isn't actually live tonight, so we're going to have a ton of plugged in crowd noise

 

that might be as universal a boo as I've ever heard

 

...or not

 

Color me surprised!

 

Was hoping for Haitch. Seth will work but is just kinda expected

 

will never not laugh at "Kevin and I are Universal Champion"

 

Braun "5th Wheel" Strowman

 

Legit laughed out loud at

"Hey Chris."
"WHAT?!"

 

Fatal Fiveway? Won't Chris just let Kevin pin him?
