Yes! Yes! Yes! We’re Taped!

They obviously buy these tables wholesale. The real question is whether or not they do it in each individual city, or if they just have a warehouse for storing all the props they think they’ll need. Also, do they ever turn around and sell excess tables to smaller wrestling companies?

Ryback is doing the Lord’s work as a heel. This is honestly as good as a guy has looked while not being able to win a single goddamned match to save his life has ever looked. Other than the complete inability to win a match of any significance against anyone even remotely in his age range, Ryback is having an absolutely fantastic run.

I normally don’t complain about what the announcers say, because they are stupid and they aren’t concerned with keeping my interest in the match, but complaining about Ryback bringing stairs into the ring while praising John Cena for using a submission is exactly the type of things people should be bothered by. If you insist on being stupid out loud, at least be consistent about it.

And off go Chekov’s Steel Ring Steps, right in poor Ryback’s lower lumbar.

Wait, someone set up a table in the corner of the ring, and it backfired? During a TABLES MATCH? Well, now I’ve seen everything.

There are a lot of good ways to get the audience excited for this Daniel Bryan vs. John Cena match at SummerSlam. Tiring people out on the YES! catchphrase? Not one of them.
