Went to AwesomeCon and wife and I got a photo with them on Friday. Woods was actually the most impressive up close. He held a game tourney for Up Up Down Down that night. Met up with Christian and Tommaaaaayy yesterday. Off to see Big Dick Bautista today.

EVERY belt Is being defended. There is still a possible Cena vs Undertaker match (I say no and it will be a WM35 match). Rumors of Batista and Rey Mysterio showing up. Zero chance of Hogan (reverse jinx). There is a chance this could be one of the all-time great Manias.

PS If you missed NXT Takeover you missed another great show. I don't when they are calling up Johnny Gargano, but when it happens it will be a great day indeed.

Enjoy Mania, everyone.

I had a good conversation with Ellsworth last weekend at the con. He hinted his return was very soon. I would love to see him as Braun's partner. The talent right now is crazy even when you take out part timers and gimmick participants like Angle and Stephanie. When you see the need for multiple multi-man matches to get people on the card and the talent that has to go do the Battle Royales. Then you see what is around the corner with NXT...my god there will be no room for so many deserving people.

We are headed towards the day that folks make a name as a midcarder on WWE and go the Indy route like Cody and come out BETTER. What a time to be a fan.

How awesome would it be is Batista came in his Drax costume to plug Infinity War?

It would make sense if they wanted the cross promotional synergy but I think Dave wants back full time from what he says. Full time house shows, road travel, etc.

He just loves the business of wrestling. Make no mistake he says acting is his "career" now but he wouldn't come back for a part time role. He wants to do it right by the locker room and do 2 years 100%.

By the way we all saw that Wyatt appearance a mile away. Never a doubt. Now who wins the ladies? Sasha and Bayley. Has to be one of them.

Cruiseweights have come a long way in just 6 months. This match should be good.

This is the preshow. That's how they have been doing it for a while now. It's the extra matches they don't have time or room for in the main card. I know, what's the difference you say? Well you don't end up on the DVDs and the replays so get no royalties. It matter enough that Aries and Neville walked out from.
