Again, I appreciate what ROH is trying to do, but there's just something missing to me. PWG and CHIKARA have that element of fun interspersed with good wrestling so that there's a balance. To me, ROH leans heavily to one side of the balance in terms of in-ring competition, but is lacking when it comes to presenting guys who can do more than just wrestle. WGTT, Eddie Edwards, Roderick Strong, and Davey Richards are all terrific wrestlers, but seeing them try to cut promos on the TV show makes me cringe a bit. But at the same time, the TV show is just starting, so there's certainly plenty of time for them to fix some things here and there over the next few months.

Good luck, spindashing. I hope you get a response
Poor kid, he won't. 
:lol

I think these speak for themselves.
It wasn't a botch, more like just bad luck tearing his ACL while running to a dive.

I've been saying that all along. Poor Sin Cara... ;_;
If he ends up getting Future Endeavored before he can return I'll riot.

The fact it wasn't an outright botch may save Cara from the "future endeavors" I fear may claim him.
So has anyone speculated that Cara being injured may screw over Hunico and the other guys who were seemingly put together to go against him? Unless they bring back Fake Cara as a temporary replacement again.

Well they just pretend that Cara made a swift recovery and do what they did before, as for the mysterious disappearance of Hunico....well I can't imagine too many people would notice.
Or there's your more logical idea I guess.

Be sure to remove whatever move causes nash to tear a quad every time he walks.
It's WWE, the ADD fans will forget about the whole thing in 2 weeks, except for the smarks of course and the smarks don't fill seats.
They could easily pass off hunico as sin cara and just give hunico his future endeavors on wwe.com and the masses will have no idea.
Finishers could be chokeslam, powerbomb and crossface. Other moves were the big boot, leg drop, military press, sidewalk slam, snake eyes.
Standard big man stuff from the 90's.
Be sure to remove whatever move causes nash to tear a quad every time he walks.
please, Nash and Sid are the prime of the big man era.
True that, true that. Gonna make myself some PSYCHO SID GOODNESS.

WWE 12 is the shit. I just had a 15 minute match as Sin Cara against Punk. It flowed great, the moves were varied, an the AI took forever to injure, just like HCTP.
Best wrassling game this gen, and better than Smackdown 2006.

That's exactly what makes it so brilliant, helped more so by the fact that Hunico in his current appearance looks completely forgetable.
Getting fatter you say? so that's why they are really holding Brodus Clay back, preparing to take up the mask of Cara clearly.

I am so watching this.

Crazy glitches were the highlights of my highlight reels in the last 2 WWE games, twisted body/Snake style CM Punk, endless unbreakable grapple lockup and a gravity defying belt bounce all occurred in the same match.
Then there was Christian's psychic powered cross powerbomb onto a ladder in 2010, upon starting the move animation Christian teleported across to another turnbuckle to do his part of the animation while Jeff Hardy was magically levitated and thrown down onto the ladder in the original position.
And of course TLC matches were no shortage of glitches last year, i'll never forget losing to teleporting Ted DiBiase, you don't just appear at the top of the ladder grabbing the case in a position which should make it unreachable!
The scary part is I remember tons more.

Well damn, bought.
The bouncing steel steps were my highlight from last year.

You reminded me of this highlight reel. I think this was done before the official release date making it that much better.
It's not like he has anything else on the cards right now, though Undertaker might find that it infringes on his gimmick.
Every wrestler was such a grouch backstage, must have been those locker room politics applied to the video game.
It wasn't even that, the controls backstage were horrible. Walking was even horrible, the placement of stuff you had to go to was horrible. It was a total disconnect from the style and substance of the rest of the game.
Also, your highlight reel lead me to this awesome clip:

I wish Rock/Cena could have worked something like that out.

Just watched RAW from last night, so R-Truth is suppose to sell that Skull crushing finale finisher for 30 days?

Not to mention the bonus criteria to be met backstage leading you to waste time hunting around for potential optional matches that led to unlockables and the Kane collectathon where you needed to find the souls to put in the urn. Awful stuff across the board really.
And if Rock and Cena were a more chummy team I imagine we would have gotten a five knuckle shuffle and peoples elbow combination.
Before Brodus they've gotta do Big Show, can't wait for the Spanish Fly to destroy the ring.
If you go to a concert in that arena, he'll be the passed out homeless guy with dreads near the stage.

He certainly proved he has the high flying ability at Survivor Series, even if he took a good minute to get off the turnbuckle.

Mick Foley will host next Tuesdays live WWE SmackDown episode on Syfy. The official website of the Time Warner Cable Arena website is billing the episode as a Smackdown Live Holiday Special.
Epico, who has been competing on SmackDown since debuting on the November 4, 2011 episode, is now listed a member of the Raw roster on WWE.com. Epico and Primo beat Percy Watson and Titus ONeil in a dark match at last nights Raw SuperShow in Hershey, Pennsylvania. The two cousins were accompanied by SmackDown Diva Rosa Mendes.

Nash hurt his knee because he didn't have his knee brace, what's Sin Cara's excuse.
It would be funny if Sin Cara's injury caused WWE to finally see that there isn't a point in Hunico and send him back to FCW or FE him. As it is now, he's just a poor man's Konan. Primo and Epico could work as a tag team though and WWE badly needs tag teams.
