Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
They literally don't have enough talent for a brand split.
Don't nobody say Hunter wasn't there for the long haul. Wrestling in airports while Nash and Hall were wrestling in beach clubs
HHH fell in fake pig poop for the sake of his company. That's a boss you could almost get behind, but Vince peed his pants on TV for the sake of his company. Non-PPV TV, at that. I think to get the respect of the boys, Hunter needs to poop em full on Raw.
There was nothing to be gained by discussing Oliva Munn past the first page of the original thread.
There is no rush.
So I called in sick for the first time in like 6 months. I woke up and the entire left side of my body was tingly, like when your foot falls asleep. I didn't think much of it at first, but like 4 hours later it hadn't gone away, so I decided driving to work and trying to do shit was probably a bad idea. Not sure what is wrong aside from a serious lack of sleep lately and an inability to breathe easily. Got some Booker T strips and some liquid Unisom, I guess I'm gonna see how it goes. Wish me luck, chaps.
Yeah, you need to go see a doctor ASAP.
Bootaaay, if you haven't seen this one yet, you should.
Mil Mascaras vs Kuniaki Kobayashi(1986)
I didn't realize Mil was so over in Japan that people would get into fights for his entrance mask. This match is awesome for as short as it is. I love the 80s Luchadore vs Puroresu old school fights because it really does do a perfect blend of comparisons and contrasts. And Mil is 40, but you wouldn't be able to tell.
I'm loving Kuniaki's work too. I wish he had more stuff readily available because he's a great heel.

I must've missed most of Bull in WCW, but looks like she'd already started dropping weight by this point? Poor Bull, taking dives to make baka gaijin Madusa look strong etc

This has that big anime fight feel.

This animated gif has that SNK arcade fighting game pre-fight animation feel.
It actually does remind me of an episode of Kinnikuman.

Thousand Masks-sama didn't sell for sh*t.
Head driven into the steel post? Whatever.
Knocked into and over the steel barricade by a suicide dive? Walk it off.

I really feel like he should've beaten Ziggler, but oh well.
Kofi's had a nice, long career and many titles. Neville's career arc will more closely resemble Justin Gabriel's, I think.
After a while, people are going to get tired of the fancy splash.

i'd say it's too early to say, but then i remembered that we've been sayin this since he's been in NXT
so with Kofi turning heel and no longer being the old Kofi, yes
Well, the thing is the spot he did yesterday, walking the railing and then doing the flip on Dolph.
It just screamed Kofi (or JoMo, if you will) to me. Which immediately make me think that Neville is getting the Kofi spot next year at the Rumble for sure. And so, I expect him to fill that singles spot of Midcard jobber that flipflops for sure.
After a single match everyone is already claiming he is doomed. Never change.
And for the record taking a loss isn't the same as being buried. Sorry to disappoint you internet.

WWE too often takes the approach of putting a new guy in matches with perceived 'top' talent, thus supposedly elevating the new guy by virtue of the company he's now in. However, that only works if the talent in question is worth a damn - I'd argue that the Rollins match did a lot for Neville, but the Ziggler match didn't.
If they had done something with Ziggler after his Survivor Series performance or even brought it up after TLC, he could have been.
I think it goes back to wanting showcase jobber matches. It worked for Ryback and I think it works in a lot of ways as it shows off what the guy can do and kayfabe, they're starting at the bottom to work their way up.
There's plenty of local talent to do this with or I'm sure some guys would jump at the chance to be TV jobber. Hell, they might even be the 1 in 100 that can Horrowitz it and slightly break out.
The problem really is the way Ziggler is booked, I agree. In every which way you look at it, Ziggler is a loser. Yes, he's popular as a midcarder, yes he has good and entertaining matches... But he's also the guy that loses a lot. The crowd knows Ziggler loses a lot, so having Neville come out and have an entertaining match against Ziggler, which he then still loses does nothing to elevate Neville above where he was last week after the Rollins match.
Losing against the WWE champion is not a problem, Rollins should be damn near unbeatable as the top dog in the company and Neville gave him a run for his money, that's great. But that just doesn't fly with a guy like Ziggler (or any of the midcarders, it really only goes for a handful of people, guys like Orton, Rusev, Cena). If you really want to bring in a guy like Neville and show how great he is, you would put him over nearly everyone except your top guys.
Booking-wise it just doesn't make any sense to have him lose to a guy like Ziggler. It also doesn't make sense to have Ziggler to go over from Ziggler's point of view. You don't need to protect him, he loses so much already and to guys they consider lesser than Neville at this point. I guess they wanted Ziggler to win to make him look like more of a threat to Sheamus, but that's not realistic after years of being booked like Ziggler has been. And if you really have to protect Ziggler by not having him lose to Neville and already have Sheamus booked for a post-match beat down, guess what, you could have booked him to win by DQ through Sheamus interference and protected both Neville and Ziggler.
It's just not the best booking for either guy.

I've been doing them for a little while - but half the time, imgur doesn't work properly when I upload them so they haven't been in many recaps. I mainly put them on the F4W board during the live thread for the shows.

Cheating on us with another live thread? How dare you.
Reigns' Superman punch and Show's WMD will make contact with each other, Show will break his hand from it and be out of action for months.
Have they named the gimmick? I could see a dual punch spot in a last man standing match.

Poor Dean, he looks so uninterested
Hope you get to a doctor, fingers crossed everything clears up dude.
Nah he'll be fine. He won't be a top talent unless he strikes it hot with a repackage but I don't think he'll get stuck in the Kofi clock.

That's really weird. They were really cordial about her leaving, and the book will have been finished long before she gave her notice, so it can't be a spite thing, right?

Rusev/cena is a YAPPA PIE?
It may have been a polite gesture done in respect of Mrs. Bryan.
But it does seem a notable omission.
