I realized about an hour later that I missed Volador turning rudo – in my defense, we’re still waiting for the actual turn, he just was a rudo one day – but I was expecting someone to notice.
@thecubsfan: TBH I’m still emotionally wrecked after Bam Bam losing. I may not even recover in time to scream about the Anniv. lineup.
I’M DISAPPOINTED THAT DR LUCH DID NOT TAKE A TRIP DOWN TO MEXICO TO WATCH RUSH WIN. VERY, VERY DISAPPOINTED!
Its unfortunate that wordpress doesn’t allow my comment to appear in comic sans font because that’s how upset I am. :)
I wonder if Dr. Wagner would ever consider starting a promotion of his own. He seems to be a fellow that likes to have control in given situations. I don’t mean that to sound like it’s a bad thing all the time. I wonder if that could translate to him running his own company and maybe using his persona to bring other people in that would enjoy working for him. I guess money would always be the deciding factor in something like that.
