If I was the programming director of the WWE Network here are a few ideas I would implement:

Hey Scott, Big fan of your work, Did you happen to listen to the steve Austin Podcast with Wade Keller, fascinating stuff, I kind of wish Austin would start booking these shows since he has such a great mind for the business still,  Matt.   I've been through X-Pac, Ric Flair, Jerry Lawler, Kevin Nash, Bruce Pritchard, and Scott Hall thus far, and they're all great.   Haven't gotten to Keller yet.   Austin should have married Stephanie instead of Debra.  Would have worked out better for everyone.

From his new book: http://deadspin.com/dead-wrestler-of-the-week-chris-benoit-1468485429 Quite the cheery article, isn't it?

I was going to post the Team DX wipeout of Team RKO at the 2006 Survivor Series because it had the rare teaming up of HBK, HHH and Punk. But I didn't like the video quality. Then I thought about the DX-RKO tag match at New Year's Revolution 2007, which would be mark the second time HHH tore his quad while working a match but I'll save that. Instead you get this mighty Smackdown 8-man match -- DX, Cena & Undertaker vs. Orton, CM Punk and Legacy....eh 7 out of 8 ain't bad (sorry Ted Dibiase Jr., I had high hopes for you.). Enjoy this one.

Hey, Scott. Earlier this year, you lent a plug to the UWA, an old-school e-wrestling fed. I joined because of that, and I've been having a lot of fun. Half a year later, it's still going fairly strong, with about six or seven consistent participants, and events happening every week like clockwork. Think you can throw the link up on the Blog 'o Doom once more, to see if we can get some more players in? Thanks! http://theuwa.blogspot.com/

Why hey, it's some baby otters! look at em bein all cute and stuff. Dawwwwwwww. What's the first 'cute' video you discovered on the internet? Lolcats? Icanhaz cats? Lime Cat? What's with the internet and cats, anyway?  What are your *favorite* cute animal / viral videos?

Reason for Twelve-Man Tag Match Airing on RAW Instead of Survivor Series? The main reason for the match airing on RAW was that they are trying to build up matches for TV in order to increase the rights fees so they can use the profits towards the new network. Credit Mike Johnson, PWInsider.com How the American Wolves Got Their Recent Tryout After last month's camp at the Performance Center, HHH felt that Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards were too "indy" looking and that they already had a lot of those guys on the roster and in developmental. However, William Regal went to bat for the duo, stating that he thinks they could become something special so that is how they got their one-week tryout Credit Mike Johnson, PWInsider.com WWE Hall of Fame Wrestler Working on an Autobiography?

June 1, 1985 Your hosts are Bruno Sammartino and Vince McMahon Tonight’s main event is Hulk Hogan vs. Ken Patera in a non-title match. Plus, Paul Orndorff returns to the ring and a surprise wrestler makes his return in a non-wrestling role.

Ric Flair vs. The Undertaker in 1992 sounded like a good fun, short match for this Tuesday. Flair is the WWF Champion at this point and the Undertaker is a freshly turned face. The extent that Perfect and Flair cheat in order to win has to be seen to be appreciated. Enjoy this one.

My arch nemesis / next door neighbor is calling the house during a Patriots game while I'm on an astral plane with friends. "Ugh I just hate being bothered" says Mom, oblivious to my personal polyphonic spree. Mom picks up the phone and invites her over. I chime in with a little rhetorical rhetoric. "Then why would you invite the most bothersome person we *know* over?" I am in rare form. My neighbor's a boozer, a mess, and an excuse maker, and constantly looking for validation from subservient people who would rather placate her, than challenge anything she says or does - when they do she sours, says your mean, and changes the subject. Picture Fran Dreschers voice combined with a life of cigarettes, divorce, and disappointment, and you'll have a mind's eye picture. Now she was coming over, again , to watch a game she didn't care about, again , to distract the entire family from the most important part of the game, again , while drunk, aga...

"What if time" mofos.  This is geared mostly for the old school heads and the wrestling historians we have here on the BoD.  I've read everything I can on this topic, but since I was 1 at the time, I ask this question mostly out of ignorance... What if Hulk Hogan chooses to stay with the AWA in 1983?   Things to consider: - Is Vince still successful in going national without Hogan? - Was WWF the dominant territory promotion at the time, and was expansion inevitable with or without Hogan? - Most interesting to me, who does Vince choose to be the face of the expansion if Hogan is not around? - Is the first WM as successful without Hogan? Fun fact: Wikipedia claims Vince wanted Hogan to color his hair red upon his original WWF stint. Like I said, I ask this question mostly out of ignorance so will digress to you guys.

Well, its been a fun few weeks you Bag O' Dicks (BODers). Just to fill you in (and yes, I have been able to snag a certain said someone and fill her in) I just picked up two new fresh shiny wrestling books: Gary Michael Cappetta's "Bodyslams" and David Shoemaker's new shit...which, from thumbing through a few chapters, is just fresh to death. So anticipate reviews of those right after or during the holiday season, depending on my mood after having to basically live in a Holiday Inn Express for a few weeks. (You know I am gonna crush that mini bar). Anyway, my question, non wrestling related, is this: I recently picked up Eminem's new CD, MMLP2, and think it is hot fire like Dylan. As a recovering addict, naturally "The Monster" speaks to me, as does "So Far", "Rap God", and "Love Game." Question is this: What is your opinion of the album and what is your favorite track?

Evening Mr. Keith.  Just thought I'd start a discussion of Great F'n Feuds that had little, disappointing or No Proper Payoff.  My Top Picks: Damn, so many to discuss, so little time.   Savage/Roberts:  I think this ended on an episode of SNME, but DAMN! this was one of the best rivalries of the early 90's and needed to end in a chaotic brawl/bloodfest, specifically WMVIII.  One of the biggest disappointments of my childhood. Well, the whole feud was happenstance because of Warrior leaving and Jake needing an opponent, so really anything was gravy.  And Savage was then needed to move into the World title program by WM, so I can kind of see why they had him finish off Jake so decisively. That being said, fuck this should been awesome.   Santana/Martel: When/did this even properly end? Once Tito became El Matador and ditched the Strike Force tights.  Other than that, it was mostly a house show feud won decisively by Martel.  Timing and PPV just didn't align proper...

When last we left our heroes, all heck had broken loose. Twelve men were brawling like maniacs, trading opponents like dance partners, until two Survivor Series matches formed from the activity. But with only four matches on the dance card so far, plus one spot open on a pre-formed match, excitement is in the air and advancements will be made. But whose paycheck is getting a Thanksgiving bonus? And on top of that, how will the matches we know of become even more intense? The pre-show look-in ad specifies it's Country Night, and also says the family will open the show with possible sanctions. - The PG Era Rant for Raw, November 18, 2013. - Live from Nashville, TN. - Your hosts are JBL, Lawler, Cole, and likely a few thousand Stetson hats.
