Plot Twist: Airport used to be a top level amateur heavyweight boxer that fell on hard times after his wife died of cancer causing him to put on a lot of weight. He knocks Chris out in the middle of the airport and becomes a youtube sensation.

You forgot his battle with testicular cancer (one amputated), painkillers and alcohol before he discovered wrestling and pro poker. And ice cream.
 
Do you guys think the Cena and Reigns dynamic of half face and half heel reactions is actually what WWE wants? They know the hardcores will watch because they are so invested in the guy they feel thats less talented in losing to a worker or performer they like more, and they recognize who those guys are (Rollins, Ambrose, DB, AJ) and book them in certain ways and put them down so much only so that their moment of triumph means that much more. To me the booking of DB in the leadup of WM 30 was perfect and led to me popping at my house, and exemplifies this long haul booking (even if we hear dirtsheets say otherwise). Also perhaps the classic heel face dynamic if it had continued would have gotten old by now?

I have got to imagine that WWE want as many fans as is possible. The proven way to do that is to get somebody over so everyone cheers/watches. It also brings back casual and lapsed fans like me.

For two guys who were never top stars, they were certainly cheered like top stars so I thought maybe it was a hometown thing that's why the thought of it being in either Georgia or Texas came up. Could've fooled me but then I didn't watch the whole PPV, I wonder if the other mid carders got as many cheers as the Rhodes brothers.

Don't worry, I don't dwell on the past and don't have very many regrets in my life but Wrestlemania 22 comes in very close to a regret. I was a broke college student in Madison, WI and WM22 was being held in Chicago, about 2 hours away. I told my then girlfriend how awesome it would be to go to Wrestlemania right around the beginning of the school year (Sept 2005). Christmas came and she surprised me with two front row WM seats that came with commemorative WM22 folding chairs. I was so elated yet also so sad. My girlfried was also a poor college student coming from a lower class family and she dipped into her savings that she received from her father's death to buy the two tickets. I asked her how much she spent and she said the tickets were $865 each and totaled just a tad over $1700. As big a fan as I was, it was right around the time my fanaticism was waning (although not to the point where I would have ever turned down a WM) but more importantly, I did not want her to tap into her savings for something like wrestling tickets. We discussed and argued quite a bit and by the end of January, I was able to resell the tickets about $1,000 each.

To this day, when I think of Wrestlemania, I think to myself...."If I could do it over again, maybe I should've just gone" and as my friends and family says, "You should've gone knowing you weren't going to end up with her" but I guess that's just not within my nature. Anyhow, that's about as close as I get to a wrestling regret.

Cody would do well in Japan. Love to see him join BC, or work as a singles guy.

Intriguing match ups with Ricochet, Kyle O'Reilly, Will Ospreay, Kushida

The tweet also, seemingly, took a shot at CM Punk when he said "No podcasts, or tell-all nonsense".
 
I wonder if Stephen Amell has said to him "You know, I'm sure I can find a spot for you on Arrow", and after being blown off by creative one too many times, he's just said "Fuck this", and taken it. He says at the end "Maybe I even already got an offer".
 
Wow, I actually wound up reading every word of that. You can feel the emotion.

He's gonna go tear it the fuck up in ROH / NJPW / Lucha Underground.
