I didn't know who he was until Thursday, either. He was probably annoyed that I didn't recognize him immediately. Within 30 seconds of casual conversation, he points out:

- He's got a blue check next to his name on Twitter

- Nakamura replied to his tweet earlier in the day

- All the "fuging losers" around us have had tickets for months, and he was able to get front row just yesterday

- My second row ticket in the same floor section he was sitting in was clearly inferior to his seat

Once he was done, his buddy said to him "You feel better now?"

fug that guy. He probably made a good heel, though.

If he just got his ticket a few days ago he probably bought it in the secondary market and paid 3 to 4 times the amount the tickets actually cost

I could have gotten seats much closer than where I was  (I was on floor but back near the entrance ramp) but those tickets were selling for $200+ a seat on secondary market websites and I paid $75 for my floor seat from Ticketmaster

Just found out ROH and NJPW are putting on a show here in May. Sold out already but I'll get there for sure. Should be fun.

Last night was a very good episode of RAW. Great action in the ring, new and interesting feuds getting started, and an anticipated debut finally taking place. Right now, Payback is looking solid as hell:

Reigns vs Styles

Ambrose vs Jericho

New Day vs (my prediction) Vaudevillains

Cesaro vs Miz

Natalya vs Charlotte

KO vs Zayn

Bullet Club doing something, Enzo & Cass doing something

Do want.

Bray Wyatt injured at a house show in Milan.

Wow in less than 12 hours, Chyna's death became old news. Even in death, she just can't catch a break.

Remember when Mark Henry took Chyna out to dinner and made D-Lo Brown drive them around? lol

I blame HHH's penis. Or Steph's vagina.

The crowd lost their poo. Pretty cool moment.

I would love to see Balor debut at Payback and get involved in the main event. I just can't decide how he should get involved.

[Still Brooklyn]

It'll be a slow rise, IMHO. He may be involved with the AJ/BC storyline, perhaps BC costing ... yes, costing AJ his match at the PPV and it being revealed on Raw they follow Balor, not AJ. Then AJ and Balor would feud for a while. But that would make Balor a heel, which I doubt they'd want to do. They current trend would have AJ turning heel and siding with his BC, maybe beating Reigns. But yeah, it'll take some time before Balor is going for the gold I'd imagine.

Quick Payback thoughts during my work break:

"The Chicago screw job" was a cheap, lazy, eye-rolling way to end a match that was very well-contested from two talented women. Also, crowds need to start respecting the action in the ring during these matches instead of cheering for Sasha. I'm actually becoming less of a fan of hers because of these crowds.

Corbin losing was stupid, stupid, stupid. He better destroy Ziggler on RAW or at Extreme Rules.

Neither Ambrose nor Jericho were elevated as a result of their match, IMO. Ambrose needs a kick-start. Money in the Bank winner?

Zayn and Owens was a great match, but why have Zayn attack Owens if he's not going to get the upper hand? This makes Zayn look like a sore loser AND weak. You lost clean, man.

I actually like keeping the belt on The Miz. He gets great heat and it's more fun to watch Cesaro and others chase him right now.

The main event was a fantastic bout. Top 5 of the year so far for me. The finish was interesting--they should've just restarted the match once. Twice was contrived and predictable. AJ's forearm through the announce table spot was amazing.

And on Monday we have...Shane vs. Steph. McMahon soap opera continues...some things will never change.

It was a good PPV, though. I enjoyed it overall. Thank God Enzo is okay.
