I love Paul Heyman.
Very telling when he mentions which talent comes up to him for advise, the names he mentions are from the guys: "Bray Wyatt, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns. And from the girls "Natalya and AJ." Who are pretty much exactly the people you'd expect to come up to a guy like Heyman and ask for advise on how to improve what they do.
I would have been very surprised if he went "Jimmy Uso, Del Rio, Jinder and Nikki Bella" come up to me and ask me for advise on their character.
-edit: He also mentions he still talks to Punk, but not about the business "because that is obviously a sore spot for him" and that at that point there has yet to be a "first conversation" between Punk and Vince (it was recorded two days before Mania). Apparently they had a long conversation about True Detective.

Me too. Jinder Mahal needs help from nobody when it comes to his character.

Grr... I just made that Corporate Kane Mii too. 
Yeah that does sound about right. really looking forward to listen to this.

Just create a Tomodachi Life game with Korporate Kane, Masked Kane, Unmasked but still Red Kane, original Kane, Fake Diesel & Issac Yankem.
Then AJ and Tori so some of them can hook up since they can't all make out with each other... OR FEMALE KANE COSPLAY.
Nothing wrong with a Barrett push, he's really underrated. His demeanor and movelist scream 90s WCW guy, but in all the right ways. Would have loved to see him feud for the TV Title with Booker T or the US belt with DDP back in those days- would have been so good.
It can't be. Paige and Alicia Fox got a match that lasted more than 3 minutes and didn't involved neither comedy relief nor it was a bra and panties match.
Even if Paige gear basically is bra and panties.
I don't know how to break this to to you, but Paige vs. Alicia Fox went exactly 3 minutes and 28 seconds and really wasn't more than most divas matches are, one girl on offense, babyface gets the upperhand, does one move and wins.
I really want Paige vs AJ to turn the tide in the division, but first week in there hasn't been much of a change other than Paige being a fresh face.
And Emma needs to get away from fucking Santino.
Most of the male wrestlers are in their underwear, so it's not a big deal. Wrestling atttire is skimpy by nature.
Oh, I know, I do think Paige's gear is very cool. I was just mentioning because it wouldn't be too much of a bra and panties match.
But I really like it, purple is my favorite color.
The wrestling was better quality than the likes of the Bellas, the champion actually won, and the crowd (a mark crowd that had no clue who Paige was a week prior) reacted well to the finish.
Baby steps.
But I'll say that Paige is not good to be booked this way of being destroyed until her ultra becomes available. Bayley is more like that, Emma can do it, but Paige (like AJ) is better at a match where she is at least equal to the attacker. The scorpion cross lock/hold is obviosuly very cool, but it can't become her Attitude Adjustment.
She's got an arsenal, she has to show it.

She has that Brock Lesner "I dont know if she is really hurting the other person or is just really good at this" thing going on.

Definitely.
Stiff and beautiful, also those backbreakers on Paige were excellent. I'm always impressed with her work I want to see her wrestle more.

Yats is fucking dope. My favorite place, but I don't like driving 45 minutes for a resturant. There is a really good Mexican place not even 3 miles from my house. I'm having a tough time deciding. I SHOULD get out and go to Indy, but Mexican also sounds great.

Kane versus Sting!
Also I think its fitting that when Sting finally decided it was time to jump to the WWE that Taker retired. Fuck Sting. Dude should have made the jump a few years ago and had a half decent run. Now it seems he is only doing it for one final glory lap in the E and to pad his retirement fund.

Can't help it. I appreciate a great physique.
I don't get a chance to respond to all your posts Bootaaay, but thanks for all the links. I watched some of the other shows you posted yesterday during my lunch break and on my ride home from work. Greatly appreciated!

Raw was alright last night. If it hadn't been for the Evolution official reunion happening that last segment was booked to shit. It was still mostly stupid. I know they had to book the faces to look vulnerable for once but man.
Levels of Kofi's STUPID STUPID STUPID by putting Rusev in there. Fucking stupid.

TNA continues to sign their stars to new contracts as of late and TNA Executive Vice President "Big" John Gaburick has announced that Gunner has signed a new multi-year agreement with the company.
Did TNA trick him?

Not terribly excited about the upcoming New Japan cards - there's a fair few matches that are sure to be good, but there's not a lot of hype going into the next tour. AJ vs Okada needs to be awesome, especially with a fucking Gracies match as the semi-main event. Looking forward to Ibushi vs Taguchi, though, just to see if Taguchi can remind me why anyone should give a damn about him. There's an unannounced Shibata match on the card, so hopefully that'll be something good.
I'm probably more excited for the ROH/NJPW shows than I am Dontaku. Hopefully they can get things back on track for the big Yokohama Arena show at the end of May.
Anywho, have a couple of Jumbo vs Murdoch matches;
Jumbo Tsuruta (c) vs Dick Murdoch - NWA United National Title 2/3 Falls - (AJPW 02/23/80)
Dick Murdoch (c) vs Jumbo Tsuruta - NWA United National Title 2/3 Falls - (AJPW 03/05/80)

Okada/Styles has potential to be friggin great, I just hope it delivers. It's a new opponent which is really good, that goes a long way for me.
I wish the Gracies weren't doing anything, like seriously. :/
RoH/NJPW shows will be dope as fuck and scratch the itch, guaranteed. I hope the crowd is more hype than Mojo Rawley.

I'm pretty happy to see the Kane as Big Red Machine thing coming back up. I don't like his mask, wish he'd get something that covered his whole face cos this one doesn't really do it for me, but it's crazy how much they just nuked his entire character by putting him in a suit. It's good cos it's wrestling though and we can forget all about that next week if he's suddenly an indomitable force again. The guy looks in really good shape, so even though he's nearly as old as the Undertaker I don't think it will be depressing or boring. Monster-sized Kane vs Daniel Bryan sounds like a fun match to me.

Gonna spend so much money at the ROH/NJPW show.

Nakamura vs Zack, Steen vs Marty and now Adam Cole - this show's looking stacked.
Yeah, same here, Okada's only got a couple of fresh defences left; Nakamura and Nagata, so I'm glad to see someone new in the title picture - Meltzer thinks AJ's getting a big push, as well, but I just can't see the first gaijin champion in 9 years being a guy pretty much none of the audience is familiar with.
Vince McMahon said:
It's infuriating, as they're only there for their name value - I wish they could have done the same angle, but with two shootfighters who know a damn thing about pro-wrestling.

Watching Raw from last night for first time. ADR vs rvd was a hell of a match, especially for free tv.

Have you not been paying attention to his amazing feud with James Storm?
I would have been more tolerant if it wasn't a grown ass man who was squeezing up up against me to fit into a room which wasn't even close to getting to capacity!

Rybaxel going over the Rhodes? Realllllly? Ugh. I get they are the only heel tag team but still

No, I've missed the last few episodes. I read that he broke a beer bottle over Gunner Senior's head.
It seems like TNA is playing Oakland A's style Moneyball. Letting all their overpriced talent go and signing their C players for cheap. It's smart since they'll most likely get the same ratings.

Today is a gift, that's why they called it the present
