Is Tarver still injured? I just looked over some recent FCW results and it seems like he's been reduced to accompanying people to the ring even there!

That was the first thing I thought too. Reminded me of that fake Dixie account that tricked Hogan into promoting her "return to twitter" a little while ago.

Nah, a few TNA people confirmed it was really him. Why he would say he heard Edge retired after he retweeted Mick Foley about him retiring is hilarious though. Maybe that is why he keeps creating the same angles over and over in wrestling.

I'm sure there'll be some bullshit of Teddy handing over the title to someone tonight or something.Penguin said:
Common sense would be a series of knockout matches and the finalists competing at Extreme Rules for the title.

If Vince was as angry about things as it has been said, then I wonder if Mistico just stood there and got berated by Vince; only to turned to a translator and ask him what Vince was yelling about. :lol

A similar thing happened when someone made a fake Hogan twitter (or was that Bischoff?) and was really successful in making people believe he was Hogan (or Bischoff).AdawgDaFAB said:

Sin Cara has the Ultimo Dragon curse. Ultimo trips on his cape and dooms future masked luchadors not Rey Mystero.

That is what I pointed out about the quote said previously. The Vince being mad part wasn't a joke, but the Primo getting fired out of spite part was.
In a text recap of the audio Mike Johnson wrote:
*Vince McMahon absolutely hates the Sin Cara trampoline entrance, especially after Cara nearly messed it up two out of the first three times he performed it on television. It was nearly killed after Raw and may end up completely scrapped.
NXT Opening Spoiler:
*Maryse comes out and says if she has to pick between NXT and Ted DiBiase, she picked NXT.
LOL, Ted still being made to look like a tool.

IMO the entrance looks impressive when it hits right (like on Smackdown), especially since you can't see the trampoline on TV the way it is shot. However, it was nearly messed up 2 out of 3 times and it would be better to scrap the whole thing than keep using it. They COULD tweak it by setting up the trampoline differently, but it could look REALLY bad if he completely botches it one day, so why risk it?

Trampoline entrance is not needed
To have Sin Cara shine, have him feud with good technical wrestlers who can take his moves properly.

I know the style is different and it will take him a while to get used to the "WWE style", but is Mistico used to working lots of shorter TV matches in Mexico, like he will have to here, or are they generally given more time to build their stories? I could see that being a growing pain for him if he is used to having much more time in his matches.

Yeah, how many guys could he actually do that finisher to?

That's exactly what got me about his new finisher. Guys like Bourne, JoMo or Danielson could take it, no problem. I'm sure Del Rio could as well. But outside of them, I don't see a lot of the bigger WWE guys being able to flip off the top rope like that.

It's just a front flip. Shit's easier from the top rope than the mat.

Liu Kang Baking A Pie said:
I dunno, balancing the guy on the top rope and then executing the flip properly seems like it would be tough on a bigger guy. Maybe not, I guess we'll see.
EDIT: plus, how would the guy even get up there? They'd have to take more liberties than the already ridiculous Rey Mysterio-getting everyone to fall in between the ropes 4 times a match.

Partial Smackdown shit
* Alberto Del Rio comes out and says tonight is about Edge. Del Rio says it is his destiny to win the World Heavyweight Championship but not this way. He says Edge should just come out and present him with the belt. Teddy Long comes out and says it won't be going down like that. Long informs Del Rio he'll still fight in a Ladder Match at Extreme Rules for the belt but a new number one contender will be determined in a 20-man over-the-top battle royal later tonight.
* Ezekiel Jackson b. Kofi Kingston w/The Corre on commentary. After the match, Jackson gets on the mic and says he is the personification of domination and after the battle royal he will be the number one contender and everyone will know including The Corre.
* LayCool are shown talking to a therapist about being a team but Michelle McCool doesn't like it.
* Cody Rhodes comes out and says beating Rey Mysterio at Wrestlemania isn't enough. He says he is going to win the battle royal tonight and win the World Heavyweight Championship at Extreme Rules. Winning the title will be the only gratification for his disfigurement and he will not stop until he disfigures Mysterio's face and gets vindication. Mysterio hits the ring and gives him a 619.
* WWE airs the Awesome Kong vignette.
* Rey Mysterio b. Drew McIntyre after hitting the 619.
* Backstage, Edge is getting an ovation from the Smackdown locker room. Edge and Kane shake hands.

I didn't read the SD spoilers but I hope it's a tournament for the title at the PPV! I'm sure we can get 8 guys in on this and make interesting matches.

Battle royals that aren't the Rumble should be banned from television. What a waste of creative energy they are!
We all wanted a tournament - which would have been compelling - but we get this jobberpalooza shit instead.

On an unrelated note...
http://www.wrestlezone.com/editorials/article/what-i-have-learned-in-the-past-month-128275
"Thank you, Mr. Hogan, for proving once again that NO legacy is safe from technology. When you want to diminutize Edge's injuries by talking about how you wrestled hurt, etc., why not run it by a publicist first? So that way, someone with an education can tell you "Mr. Bollea, I think this is the worst idea you've had since Santa with Muscles." He's tainting his legacy worse than Brett Favre, and he can't even get the dude points for sending his junk to a hot girl. I respect Edge a hell of a lot more for walking away and valuing the time he wants to have with his family than someone who is so immersed in his own superstardom that his family is a broken dysfunctional reality-TV mess. Edge was inspired to enter pro wrestling by watching Hogan at Wrestlemania 6, and then had his dream fulfilled by becoming a tag team champion with Hogan roughly a decade ago. And this is Hogan's repayment? A slap in the face like that? Maybe Hogan needs to watch Edge be a man and take notes from HIM instead."
Couldn't have said it any better myself.
Lastly...
Thank You Edge!

That's usually one guy lifting the other guy up and sitting him on the top rope, then climbing up themselves. I'd like to see Sin Cara do that to someone like Barrett or Punk without it looking ridiculous.

People have done superplexes with both guys standing on the top rope before (although it's not very common, I'll admit). I'm just saying that Sin Cara can do his finisher on just about everyone on the roster, with the obvious exceptions.Seraphis Cain said:

* Edge comes out and gives a recap of his career. He says he is going to miss all of it. "Thank you" chants fill the arena. Edge says he wants to do his intro one more time. He's pumped now and talking about how great the WWE doctors are and says he's taking his girl and going surfing. Edge is happy he got to say goodbye in Albany because it's the place where he won his first championship. In fact it was in a cab in Albany where Edge came up with the nickname Edge. He introduces his mother who is sitting in the front row and thanks her for all her support. To him his title has meant everything to him but the belt is not his. Edge says every fan holds a piece of it as he relinquishes the belt. Edge says it's been a heck of a ride concluding another emotional shoot of a speech.
* Backstage, Alberto Del Rio interrupts Edge. Del Rio extends his hand but Edge stares him down. Del Rio smiles as Edge walks away.
