Wow, Jeff Hardy took quite the bump last week:

The sad thing is, he took that risk for a show on Destination America.

Only the WWE would say Hey lets take the mic out of this guys hands and make him just imitate a guy who was on the Real World

I'm actually quite enjoying this. It's a bit of old fashioned heeling on Miz's part to not allow Mizdow to do much of anything other than imitate him on the ring skirt or the floor. They're building a slow burn to an eventual split and feud that will have a much better pay off than if we got to see Mizdow do everything we want to see him do.

At least this is what I am hoping is happening. If it's not...well, then it's just stupid.

We don't see enough of this in WWE, as they're always looking to advance a storyline quickly and move on to the next thing. That's part of why WWE is so average (at best) right now -- they let nothing develop. NXT builds stories and characters and lets them play out naturally over time. It's what fuels feuds and teases fans. Ultimately, they come back wanting to see what happens next. With WWE, they don't give you an opportunity to want more, as they feed it to you before the craving hits.

So So dumb. Even dumber doing it in front off like 100 people live.

Jeff's been doing crazy bumps his whole career though. So I guess it is what it is. that was just a stupid bump though. No way to really protect yourself.

A cena promo to start. Joy.

Cena's gonna take the belt and go home and rants about what it's gonna do to the show, Smackdown, etc.

Hasn't he been paying attention for the last few months?

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

Not that it would ever happen, but if the WWE wanted to make things interesting they'd "fire" Cena. Have him come back after a few months and everyone goes crazy, I guess Wrestlemania

[SolidSnake]

I just can't stop laughing that when Big Show is a heel how unstoppable he is. When he is a face, he jobs to Sin Cara

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

I hate how Big Show's "knock out punch" became a thing

[skullman80]

This show is going down the crapper fast.

[skullman80]

Bout damn time macho gets in.

Bout damn time macho gets in.

Stone cold really pressed the issue on that

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

Rollins definitely won't interfere with the RAW reunion next week

[Pavel Bure]

Ramen telling fairy tales now. Guess they have to give him a promo he can remember. That little tale goes way Brett if Ramen sticks with the Show is old point. Call him old man, say his bones creak when he walks back stage, make fun of him for using Kust For Men on his chest... Nah jack and the beanstalk.

[DudeMan2766]

Flipped over from the game during a commercial to see Reigns cutting a promo where all he is doing is reciting the Jack and the Beanstalk story. Awesome follow up to last weeks "Faster than a speeding bullet, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound" speech.

[skullman80]

Cant really fault Reigns for the content of those promos, I'm sure someone in the back writes them for him and he just goes out and says what they tell him. Not that he is a great promo anyways, but the content I'm sure isn't his idea.

Sadly this makes total sense.

[MalkinIsMyHomeboy]

Screw it being scripted, Reigns probably is wearing an earpiece and they're feeding him lines

[Pavel Bure]

Talk about ruining a prime chance to get back a mega over Bryan and push him from the Rumble... Guess their thought is to increase the buy rate for the Rumble.

[Pavel Bure]

Ambrose with an Issac Yank'em reference. Love it.

[FreeCandy44]

If it wasnt for Ambrose and Mizdow id never watch.


Hoooooooooo

[Pavel Bure]

Hoooooooooo

I legit laughed.

[SolidSnake]

I wish they would come out and just say Kane isn't the Undertaker's brother.......
