He turned face in 2005, stayed on Raw to finish the HHH feud, and then he and Cena switched shows. Batista was fine until the Edge feud. That was awful. Just dreadful, dreadful never ending, dull television.

So Sami Callihan wasn't at the Wrestling Cares show in LA. Let the conspiracy theories begin.

Everyone already knows he's taking his physical for WWE and will sign if he passes.

Right.
Considering this show was booked at least 2-3 months in advanced and knowing it was organized by Thatcher makes it look like his run in the indy's is over.
Maybe....
What's this now? It's amazingly organised. Everything nicely one one screen and accessible with one click and sorted by type of game. Can't beat that.
Pft!
Yeah, yours is very well organized. Mine on the other hand, is a complete mess

I'm borrowing it off a friend myself and I am not feeling it, the actual hitman style mission in Chinatown was pretty neat but since then it's been oddly linear with shoddy stealth and holding ones head down, plus the plot seems like complete rubbish for something they put special effort on.
Aw shit, the best has been and gone then.
When Cena got drafted to Smackdown and then back to Raw right at the end, somehow this led to him beating up his would be SD chums.

Not sure if it's a work or a shoot because I haven't seen it anywhere else but......
WWE Champion John Cena injured during WWE European tour

I just saw the documentary about ECW, Barbed Wire City
Maybe more depressing than the Von Erich documentary that WWE did, seeing some of these guys again was heartbreaking. Only Rhino seemed like he made something for himself.
I do not even care much about ECW but i love rasslin' documentaries, New Jack was by far the funniest, dude hates Heyman and is the most critical

Work.
I don't know why it would be a work.. since they didn't say it was due to an attack or anything
And not their usual brand of fake injuries (arms/legs/ribs/back)
Please be serious enough that he has to drop the title.
lol. Surprised he'd do something like this but he's the Undertaker so he can pretty much do whatever he wants.

Boo. I wanted Cena to get a nice run.
On the up and up, hopefully this means WWE will finally give Ryback a major win.
i'm suddenly interested in watching WWE again

Yeah, MASADA's hardly a great wrestler, but he does kinda project an aura of bad-ass which means that, while I don't want to see him wrestle a straight match, watching him in a deathmatch or a brawl, or even a tough strong-style sort of match is pretty fun.
Sounds like it was a good show, I definitely need to see Whitmer vs Elgin!
He'll still show up to every RAW and have his promos main event.

Exactly. Just because he's injured doesn't mean he's off TV.
That'd cost Vince a fortune in refunded tickets.

But, like, Folders bro.
Look at that. It's so clean. All my most used games on the main screen and then folders. R for 3DS Retail, 3 for 3DSWare, A for Apps, G for GameBoy, N for Nintendo, and my icons aren't all minuscule.
This has to be a work so he doesn't look like a chump fighting Ryback and Ryback can stand a chance against SuperCena. It's just like his "Injury" when he had to fight Ziggler.

Real talk about Hitman: Absolution - Chinatown is good but not the best part of the whole game, keep going. Shaving Lenny is DOPE.

This maybe giving him too much credit but he kind of reminds me of Mick Foley. He isn't the greatest wrestler but he knows ring psychology and can brawl himself to a good match. Maybe a new Necro Butcher would be a better description.
DVD is worth the buy little bit of everything on this one.
I'm really looking forward to the JLIT this year. Couple of matches have already been announced that should really bring it.

Watching SHIMMER Volume 51 - Courtney Rush vs Mercedes Martinez has been the best match so far. Mercedes is great at what she does, crazy she hasn't been SHIMMER champion yet (although, I always got the impression she was considered more of a WSU talent than a SHIMMER talent), while Courtney shows great improvement in every match. She's not the best wrestler on the card, but give it a few years and she could easily get there - her strikes in particular look kinda weak, but she has a great array of suplexes in her war crate and some wonderful selling and facial expressions that always draw good sympathy from the audience. Also, Veda Scott had a good showing against Tomoka Nakagawa - they did this spot where Tomoka popped up from the mat with an enziguri that connected with Veda's jaw and she sold it like death. LuFisto vs Ryo Mizunami was good fun too, very hard hitting match. The Burning Hammer is such a great move, looks devastating from every angle;
Rush hits a nice T-Bone suplex on Martinez;
Colt's podcast; http://tsmradio.com/coltcabana/
Some recent good interviews have been the Million Dollar Man, Dan Severn, Chuck Taylor, etc, but there's a TON of awesome ones from the past well worth checking out.
Yeah, I'm definitely looking forward to Elgin vs Biff, that one should be an all out war - not so fond of either Gargano or Cross, but it should be a nice match. Both guys are J.T. Lightning trainees, iirc.

I subscribe to The Observer mainly for the podcasts. As for free ones Live Audio Wrestling has like four podcasts a week and is probably the best. Art of Wrestling with Colt Cabana is always has a good interview. MLW with Konnan and Court Bauer is great because Konnan says whatever he wants. I've also been enjoying a The Mandible Claw lately although it's pretty focused on CHIKARA.

I've been watching Cross since I was 14, the man holds a special place in my heart. I do enjoy Gargano, I think he's the cat's pajama's.

I'd say MLW is my favorite right now. Did you hear the last episode with Sean Waltman? If you ever wanted an insider look into the locker room and the business that was it. Man, I was grossed out and sympathetic for the first 10-15 minutes.
Favorite free shows I listen to are:
1) MLW
2) Art of Wrestling (simply because of the interviews)
3) Live Audio Wrestling and family (Wai and John are awesome. I think Jason Agnew is too cynical.)
4) Stone Cold
5) Solomonster (just wish it were more than a one man show)
6) Between the Ropes
7) Kings of Sports
I wish I had a subscription to Observer.

Spend time with Review-A-Raw and Review-A-Wai. Both of those are on the LAW. If you watch Impact, I'm sure Review-A-Impact is good. Going through archives of Review-A-Wai for shows you've seen before is dope.

A documentary showcasing broken down, drug-addicted conmen at the lowest points of their lives? Sounds like the must-see, feel-good documentary of the year, imo.

03. Champion Carnival - Block B: Akebono [0] vs KAI [0]
04. All Asia Tag Skirmish: KENSO, Koji Kanemoto & Minoru Tanaka vs BURNING (Go Shiozaki, Kotaro Suzuki & Atsushi Aoki)

07. Champion Carnival - Block A: Suwama [1] vs Masayuki Kono [0]
Second day of the Champion Carnival (day 1's available here) and some good matches here, not a great crowd, unfortunately. The opening match is worth a watch, as is the All Japan vs BURNING 6-man tag, while the main event is excellent. Great showing from Masayuki Kono, shame it had to be in front of such a rinky-dink crowd.
I knew this documentary would be right up your ally, dream, given your fondness for broken down, drug-addicted conmen. Balls Mahoney is a particularly depressing sight. Sandman looks like he's on meth. New Jack is the most coherent interviewee. Bizarre.
Lol, that's pretty funny. Anyone that's ever spent anything on wrestling is a mark, so I don't know why the term gets thrown around so much between wrestling fans.
