But he's tiny. People the past few pages have been picking on Neville and Devitt for being "midgets."

"John Cena" is a brand. By adding the "s" at the end, you'd be diluting the brand. So Cole has to try and structure his sentences such that he says the name of the Superstar in the purest form possible.
Stro reviewing ROH shows is always a major highlight for me because it's like staring at a window into my own brain. It's the definition of echo chamber. I can't wait to read the new one.

Look at this list of people he managed, accolades, etc. Basically, he was around back when this industry was actually entertaining and has seen tons of shit as a talent and behind the scenes.
Also, probably most important to this thread and you millenials etc:

Apples and oranges, really.

he isn't shredded
Yeah but it's Sheffield, they're just happy to have anyone show up. I guarantee it would be triple if they put a pig up and claimed it was from the Babe films.
Huh. Last show I saw him in person was admittedly over a year ago, but the dude was sporting an 8 pack, serratus, etc. Maybe shredded implies too much size, though I tend to think of that as a guy whose crazy lean.

I greatly enjoyed the mini-doc on Itami at the end of the episode. The matches from AXXESS weren't bad, if a bit basic.
As for Hero, I can't remember who said it, but there was a rumor that he has an eating disorder. (Yeah, yeah, get the easy joke in.) I'm less inclined to mock if that's true.
Now that Elgin's stopped pretending his bald spot isn't there, Hero is next in most desperate need of changing his look. Seeing his gut jiggle live was not pleasant.

WrassleGAF, I, have two words for you....
MATT FREAKIN' HARDY!
MATT FREAKIN' HARDY!
I think Cornette is a fan of a very specific kind of wrestling show, and isn't a fan of many personalities in the business. I think the stories are fun, but probably because I feel like my tastes are probably fairly in-line with what he looks for.
I don't know how that woman was ever mistaken for Renee. Like, we've all seen Renee Young on TV right? Come on brehs.

"TMZ reports that Big Russ McCullough and Luther Reigns are suing the WWE on behalf of current and former wrestlers who have had brain damage and other injuries due to egregious mistreatment by the company. They say that WWE has known for years that in-ring action results in dementia, Alzheimers disease and more.
They claim WWE, under the guise of providing entertainment . has for decades subjected its wrestlers to extreme physical brutality. They mention that wrestling is scripted but still hard on the performers. The suit said that WWE is in the business of selling violence.
They mentioned several matches in which wrestlers were beat up. This includes the 2014 Royal Rumble, in which one wrestler demolished another with a series of brutal steel chair attacks due to the carnage created by the matchs victor. It said that the goal of WWE is to create heat through violence with various props like chairs, ladders and tables. It also mentions moves like the Brain Buster, Bulldog, Cobra Clutch Slam, Facebreaker, Jawbreaker and Powerslam. The suit mentions chair shots to the head, which were banned in 2010.
The suit stated: The WWE coerces its wrestlers to work while they are injured by, among other methods, threatening to strip them of their position within the organization if they refuse. It says wrestlers are universally encouraged to wrestle through the pain.'
The lawsuit Chris Benoit, who was routinely hit in the head with a chair. When Benoit was autopsied after his death, a doctor said his brain was so damaged from CTE that it resembled the brain of an 85-year-old Alzheimers patient.
The wrestlers want an injunction to stop WWE from forcing its wrestlers to hurt themselves. They are also seeking damages."

Cesaro, ffs, amazing!
Picks him up like its nothing.

this feud with the New Day should set up a good face turn for Kidd Cesaro, matches should be a lot of fun as well
Popping in because I really have to commend the WWE on the Hideo Itami package on NXT this week. Holy cow was that ever incredible. As a family man, I teared up at the shots with his kids and when they showed him crouching on the floor in the back after his Mania appearance. I want to see this guy succeed at the highest level. Great job, WWE. You guys got me good. Straight to the heart.
Keep rockin' it, Hideo.

All Vince hears when he sees that gif is "Picked up a thousand dudes like they were feathers, never drew a dime."
Don't change a thing man but I just wanted to let you know how awful your avatar looks with the Dark theme.

I showed my GF the Hideo mini doco today because I knew she would lap it up, she loves stuff like that and now wants him to succeed. Do it for you cute kids! etc.
Its amazing what humanizing and giving a 'back story' to a wrestler can do to make people want to care about him or her.

I remember he did that during their match on NXT in 2012. That's when I knew Cesaro was the strongest man in wrestling

Didn't see anyone mention, but Shinsuke is the last guy on the ROH/NJPW tour.
Right? Sutff like that should be the cornerstone of what the company keeps harping as the "reality era."
That initial lift off the ground, Big E just floats up like he was filled with air. Crazy strength, given E can barely assist at all with that move.
Is it ever in doubt that Edge has been Cener's best rival for the past 10 years?

I honestly think Hero's pretty close to coming out the other side of his weight gain, to where his fatness will be a decent look unto itself.

ECW One Night Stand 2006 main event is hilarious. Dueling "F**k you Cena chants." :lol

It's all an issue of protecting your talent. Lesnar is a legit freak, but was always marketed as such (like you need outside interference, chairs, triple threats and 6 finishers to take him down) and he always remained legit. Big Show took a low blow and a pedigree to fall like a dork and lose the title, and in fact he never really looked like the main event, in comparison Kurt Angle was booked like a god. Same for Sheamus, another actual tough guy, he was protected to the ends of the earth and in fact he still is somewhat believable after all these years. Cesaro is a lost cause because his booking reminds of Kofi Kingston (koficycle.jpg) but worse.

Well of course, he is the enduring trooper of WWE, attitude era alumni and guaranteed Hall of Famer, I'm so jealous that I'm trapped here on the over side of the country completely Kane-less, in 2015.
Why can't we get ONE Brock Lesnar vs Cesaro match.
Just one. Brock can win. Cesaro can get buried under a mountain of chairs or F5'd though an ambulance. But...just give them twenty minutes. Or shit, make it a thing where Brock and Cesaro don't fight but have them fight the entire roster. One upping the other on feats of strength; Then at the end Cesaro tries to get Lesnar and eats an F5.
