    Also, someone brought this up today at work, and I can't believe I've never made this connection -- Dean Ambrose probably got his "lunatic fringe" gimmick name from WEBN's tag line "The lunatic fringe of American FM."

    I'm guessing "eBN" got it from Red Rider.



    Wikipedia says "eBN" still using the phrase as of 2014.

    My coworkers were all buzzing about Ambrose this morning. I guess they used to see him in matches when he was just a kid starting out in wrestling at the UAW Hall in Hamilton.

    yep, I worked with the fella through the Dayton/Cincy area, pretty surreal seeing him with the strap. hoping he doesn't get Zack Rydered, but I am optimistic they'll give him a chance seeing they needed a shakeup with ratings and house show numbers way, way down, here's his chance!

    Edit to add: WEBN is definitely, 100% where the nickname came from

    I thoroughly enjoyed RAW last night.

    It's pretty obvious that they're going to split up the Shield in the upcoming draft, because otherwise they're rushing a triple threat match that they'd otherwise spend the next few months building towards.

    The Draft is July 19th. You have thing this triple threat is a bait and switch. It's WM match, or Summerslam.... not battleground. I think Dean faces Seth only.

    It's more than a little bit criminal they aren't doing the Shield 3-way as the headliner at SummerSlam.

    I watched some of Raw, which is a lot for me these days. It was good by Raw standards, but I think the model might be broken.

    I was thinking, if Seth was truly playing chess he'd have let Roman challenge for the belt at Battleground and claimed the SummerSlam headliner for himself. That also would have put Ambrose and Reigns at each other's throats.

    Yeah I thought the Shield triple threat was no doubt going to be at SummerSlam, but I guess the draft means we will have two world titles by that time.

    I wonder what the CWC means for WWE going forward and into the split. The Cruiser Weight Challenge is a brilliant idea, basically auditioning a bunch of talent while enforcing a weight limit of 205.

    Could infuse a ton of talent.

    High-flying talent.

    Someone's been watching Lucha Underground, methinks.

    If this is true.... I could see a double pin and claims by two people as champion... Title splits and we're off and running. I 'm hoping Reigns gets pinned by Rollins and Ambrose. Ambrose stays on RAW and Seth goes to Smackdown.

    or a lot of late 90s Nitros on WWE Network.

    I hope that Drew Gulak gets signed. Tracy Williams as well. Those guys are awesome in Chikara as the Colony.

    Is Wiliams Silver Ant? If so, he'd have been a baby when he started.

    I'm hoping exactly zero ants sign with the WWE. I want the Colony to go to Lucha Underground and compete for the Trios title. That's my happy place.
