The only reason I watch WWE.

Apparently Brock took some serious liberties at SS beyond what was supposed to happen, and Jericho let him know that he didn't appreciate that bullshit afterward. Jericho tried to get Brock to swing on him. Kind of glad he didn't- I dig Jericho and all and I get what he was trying to do, but Brock would seriously fuck him up if he wanted to.

Given that and Ambrose's comments about him on Austin, sounds like Brock is seriously disliked by almost everyone else.

Oh, and it's apparently IN HIS CONTRACT that he can't be suspended for PEDs.

I noticed that they were hitting each other a little harder than normal.

Not quite japan hard, but much harder than the WWE is used to.

 

[jro]

The elbows were probably what the biggest problem was- he knew full well that using an elbow like that would open a cut, that's exactly how you'd do it in MMA.

Dude seems like he's basically a total asshole. I'm glad Mark Hunt and Dean Ambrose are publicly dragging his name through the mud, he deserves to be called out on his shit.

edit: Damn, the contrast between him and 'Taker is crazy, given how each serves a similar purpose at this point. Callaway is the of the most respected guys in the business, ever, and Lesnar is pretty much completely removed from everyone else.

Also, I just thought I should mention- Heath Slater is awesome. Going to be fun to see him win the tag titles. Goldberg should be his partner.

 

[Syn]

I've felt Slater has been held back by poor creative bs. The free agent gimmick is really good and letting him shine a bit.

 

[norton9478]

Slater might be the most prominent WWE jobber since Horowitz.

 

[Syn]

Slater aspires to be a Zack Ryder jobber.

Today was Vince's 71st birthday. I have therefore not talked any shit about WWE all day long.

What was the most Vince McMahon thing he ever did, in your opinion?

Me?

Wearing a du rag and booking himself to be champ:

 

[Syn]

He changed wrestling and can change history. (Meaning edited old ppvs or tv. He can erase someone or a promotion on a whim.)

We haven't seen enough to judge whether he will be famous or infamous in the future.

 

[FilthyRear]

What was the most Vince McMahon thing he ever did, in your opinion?

It's a toss-up

-Letting Trips cut that promo on MVP where he said "You people don't get to be champion..."
-The last Nitro, where he cut in on the broadcast to show himself walk down the ramp and declare himself the winner of the Monday Night Wars.
-That whole angle with Trish Stratus and a "comatose" Linda McMahon.
-The angle with Candice Michelle
-The WBF, because he likes sweaty, ripped men.
-Any sort of public humiliation of his own employees, just to show them who's boss:

-Having Austin "crucified", and doing the same to his daughter, which led to this:

-His resting face


Helluva commentator tho.

Apparently you don't watch WWE. She hasn't been on since June.

Slater aspires to be a Zack Ryder jobber.

Perhaps.

But the amount of screen time that Slater has gotten is incredible.

His casual racism

Some random wrasslin' news:
-This week's Impact did 373,000 viewers, which is the most since they moved to Thursdays and the second most on Pop (second only to Final Deletion)
-Shinsuke Nakamura listed Nightwish as his favorite metal band when asked. Also loves Queen, which you can totally see in his character
-For some unknown reason, The Headbangers appear to be returing to WWE on Smackdown this week
-Velvet Sky recently said that there's no way WWE would allow the Bully Ray character on TV due to TVPG
-Former wrestler The One Man Gang had his entire home destroyed in the recent Louisiana flooding. Only his family and 11 pets made it out of the home in time. He's currently asking fans to help on a Gofundme page:

Watched Impact and fell asleep during the main event

Been making my way through Nitro during '99 and Vince Russo has shity ideas and the rumor of Vince M vitoing or course correcting has more weight

 

[famicommander]

I thought Impact was pretty good again. Specially the Hardys/Decay segment. Women's title match was messy. Cherry Bomb is good enough in the ring to be champ but that was a really weird way of putting the belt on her. Maria Kanellis will probably screw her out of the title next week.

Looks like a Sandow/Galloway feud for Bound for Glory
Lashley vs EC3 for the World Title
I'm gonna guess Gail Kim vs Maria Kanellis or Sienna for the Knockouts Title
Decay vs the Hardys for the World Tag Team Titles
DJ Z vs ? for the X Division Title
Moose vs Mike Bennett, I'm guessing

Storm will probably have a match. Eddie Edwards will probably have a match. Not sure if Davey Richards will be healthy by then. Eli Drake definitely will be on the card. Probably Bram.

 

[Hot Chocolate]

They gotta explain what Decay did to Bram before he can just pop up on tv again

Five time WWF Tag Team Champion and legendary manager Mr Fuji, real name Harry Fujiwara, has died at age 82.

Five time WWF Tag Team Champion and legendary manager Mr Fuji, real name Harry Fujiwara, has died at age 82.

The manager of champions! Yoko, Demolition & Muraco immediately came to mind.

 

[famicommander]

What comes to mind is how badly all those guys sucked, and yet how over Mr Fuji was able to get them.

 

[jro]

Current rumor is the entire Rock/Diesel beef is to set up a "match" between the two at WM. Which is 8 days before the release of Fast 8.

Holy shit please do not do that.

Muraco wasn't all that bad.

Muraco wasn't all that bad.

Yes he was.

I read that rumor and sadly think the WWE will do a Rourke type spot at the very least.
