is Davey still holding that Britsh indie title hostage or was that a work?

Sonnen's going to get eaten. Hope Punk remembers to bring his blankie.

Punk doesn't have the brains or ability to change his body to have a prayer in MMA. Sonnen's going to get a reminder that he is no longer able to fight worth a shit and he should move on before it's too late.
Chael discusses getting big pro wrasslin' offers on Stone Cold's podcast. I think he'll be content will his cushy MMA analyst gig, but who knows?

Shit, I might have complained about his booking in ROH, the way he went ridiculously over the top in those title matches with Eddie & Roderick and the way Cornette was building the promotion around him at a point when the fans'd had enough of him, rather than a year previously when they actually wanted to see him in the top spot. But, I'm entirely sick of reading about how much Davey Richards flat-out sucks when the fact is he's a talented wrestler in terms of his athleticism and ability and it was by no accident that he found himself at the top of the indy wrestling scene a couple of years back. I'll watch great shows from promotions like PWX & AAW and he'll have the best damn match on the card. Even though I despised his run on top in ROH and even though if I wish he'd sell a bit more and do a little less, he's still a great wrestler, undeniably so, imo.

Work, playing off the negativity surrounding that incident he had, bailing on some indy show in Iowa.

I dunno, Punk is pretty small. He's short and not roided, if he could cut to atomweight there's no one in that division worth a shit so he could probably take Midget Mouse.

im sure vince is dying to get another one of Dana's MMA supertars.

Lesnar = buys, Dana misses him too (though he knew his lasting potential was limited)

Might be old news but, according to PWInsider:
A new live event for WWE in Japan has been announced, as the RAW brand will perform at the Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo, Japan on July 4, a Thursday.
The current WWE wrestlers advertised include John Cena, CM Punk, Ryback and Dolph Ziggler, among others.
The tour will continue the next night in the same arena. Tickets are on sale now.

Davey was at his best tagging with Super Dragon.
Also, he was pretty great in NJPW, mostly because he was forced to limit what he did in the ring (which is his biggest problem, next to his selling, imo).

Coup of the century! I'd love to see him commentate MMA. I think he's done it before, also.

Did you see my post in the other thread where Coleman wanted to fight Punk because they showed Punk on TV instead of him? LOL.

Weird timing for me, watched the old fight where Coleman lost to Pete Williams. Good scrap, good memories.
I don't believe he's ever done it, but I know he's a big fan and often gives tips to current MMA announcers on how to sell a match. I think he'd be great in some capacity for the UFC. At the very least in some kind of backstage role to improve the presentation of the announcers, arena and athletes.

Has there ever been a Superplex into 3 Amigos spot?
So fucking stupid.

fuckin' called it, man
Stevie Richards however
Anyone saying "Davey Richards sucks" clearly didn't watch him in 2010. Guy had amazing match of the year candidates in both ROH and Dragon Gate.
I must have missed the story. Is he seriously getting picked up by the WWE?
EDIT: Scrolled back and saw his comment. Hmm, that could be interesting. Would love to see Richards vs. PAC/Adrian Neville. NXT would be next level if they picked up Richards, and then somehow snatched Adam Cole as well.
Hope Richards still does ROH Border Wars!!

lol that spot makes NO sense. In fact it looks like something Cena would do. Totally no sell a superplex and somehow become even more stronger.guy who's compared only to great muta in his ability and storytelling ie one of the best ring psychology wrestlers of all time

If it were Cena it would go straight into an AA after no selling the superplex while Cole shrieks about the strength of Cena, I now want to see it happen.

WWE is basically creating the super Indie called NXT now with Triple H hiring all the new talent and basically the end of Vince's Mason Ryan fetish.
So tempted to use this as an avatar.

Strong style fighting spirit!
I don't mind no selling depending on the point we're at in the match. Honestly, a guy acting like he just died after every single move is much more unrealistic to me than a guy who falls on his back and is still running on adrenaline, so he gets up and takes out the other guy.
Watch Davey Richards vs. Kota Ibushi in a fun match: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bj6fXKP5MOE (under 15 minutes)
Wish we got this kind of action regularly in the WWE.

OMG the Aries/ Roode/Daniels/Kaz promo from Impact was amazing. Sounded like 4 equally immature douchebags trying to out ad-lib each other.

It ain't Eve, that lady doesn't have muscles. And Punk looks ridiculous with all the heavy makeup. I remember once WWE colored Taker's goatee with sharpie, I died laughing how obvious it was.
