Those checkerboard shirts were pretty cool!

You can have one too at the WWE store for $35. Crazy that a fricking t-shirt is $35 now... Get off my lawn moment - I 'member when we would get a $10 general admission ticket for WCW or WWF and T-shirts were about $8-$12. Cheaper for Smoky Mt. Wrestling.

Finally finished Fyter Fest....what a show and next week looks like it will be another A+ night with Swerve v Ospreay.

Like the touch with Tay Melo's name being added to her theme music like Sammy G's. Speaking of, he certainly has dropped down the card quite a bit. He is meh as a face, much better as a heel IMO.

I wonder if it'll stick. She's been gone for a while so it's makes sense. But it wouldn't suprise me if it disappeared after a beat.

Sammy is super talented. But, the controversies he's had really cost him. He's got a problem right now where the whole roster is super talented and it's hard to justify taking screen time from anyone to give to him. I do agree, he's better as a heel though. Maybe Ricochet's faction? AR Fox seems like he's finally starting to get out of the doghouse. Maybe Sammy will too?

Sammy's great in the ring, but dogsh*t on the mic. Why he's in ROH under Dustin's wing. They really want him to be a star for some reason.

I was all in on the men’s MITB until all these other wrestlers showed up. Then you pull out not one, but two “Fireball” ladders for product placement. Sure, a fun match to watch, but it was already a solid match without the other shenanigans.

I'm more impressed by Javan Evans than anybody else on the card. Fenix is just not the same. He's lost a step. I wonder if the injuries are catching up to him.

WWE is really hurting Rhodes and Jay’s characters. They’re making them seem to pathetic and easy to beat unless others can come in and help out. That said, the Truth being back was pretty cool!

Wondering where they're going to go with him. New merch apparently dropped with him going by his real name, Ron Killings. I'm thinking they're going to make a more serious turn with him, which sucks IMO, because I've always enjoyed the comedic element of R-Truth.

PWI stated that as of 72 hours ago, he was still not part of the roster and then exactly what you said about his new character name. It was a masterful surprise by WWE, and definitely shows the fanbase can, when united, get the changes we want!

That said, I’m not liking this Cena storyline anymore. There’s zero coherence and flow to it. I could have sworn The Rock and/or Scott was showing up last night. They’ve mentioned The Rock multiple times over the last few weeks, whereas prior to that it’s like his name was embargoed. So I thought that something was going to happen there. Instead we get Ron back, which sure was an awesome surprise, but is that really what we fans want with this Cena heel turn: a prolonged beef with the artist formerly known as R Truth? And where the Hell was Punk? When’s that beef going to happen? We seriously left Punk off of a MITB PLE? That’s crazy.

I'm starting MITB now. Going to be on and off watching as I'm smoking a brisket and this wind is playing havoc with my temps.

RE: "Ron"... I'm wondering if when contract negotiations came up, WWE wanted him to keep playing this crazy funny character, but he was tired of it wanted to do something different, more edgy or even heel. It has been an eternity since I can remember a good Ron Killings heel run. Come to think of it, the last time was in TNA/Impact as Ron Killings? Maybe I'm wrong.

RE: Rhodes and Uso's characters being ruined. They have to book Rollins' group heavy. Otherwise the storyline goes nowhere.

Edit: I meant Paul and Cena. Don't know why I typed Rollins.

I got an early Father’s Day gift and it was a Silver Hammertone smoker. It’s my first ever smoker and maybe you can help me out. I wanted to try something easier than pork as my first smoke, so I’m gonna do a chicken in a bit. I bought a tin foil pan to use as a water pan. Can I also use that to collect the drippings?

Sure can.

I rarely smoke chicken. When I have it's always been chicken thighs. Rub em with what you like. I always give them a pan sear mainly on the fatty skin side just to help with the rendering and to give it a little better crust. Smoke at around 215 to 220 for 3 hours-ish. Sauce mop a couple of times in the last 30 minutes.

Not sure why WWE caved to the outrage of R-Truth. They have tons of young talent they could be using.

I love R-Truth, but he’s in his 50s and has played his character so well that I am not sure people will take him seriously with whatever story they are trying to tell.

The reveal was a cool moment, but I’m with you, that spot could have been better served had it been someone like Punk or Hell, even Orton coming back for another try. R Truth is just an odd move. Like are fans really crying for a Truth v Cena rematch? I’m sure not.

I think it was more than the fan reaction. The locker room didn't react well either and the tone of WWE's press coverage was altered in a generally negative way. There were all kinds of negative "rumors" flying around all of a sudden. They needed to pivot to change the narrative.
