The last WWE magazine cover. Very fitting, pity he couldn't rise from cancellation.
edit: fuck, it's not the last one, I'll just pretend it is

I was wrong, they have an August issue. He's still there so...
Past, present, future in left to right order
I want a Randy Orton, Jansen gimmick now.
I'll settle for a "I never asked for this" in a promo.

So what are the list of wrestlers still around that call Triple H "Hunter" instead of triple H.
I get the oldschool feels from that. There used to be a lot more but is it just Orton now?

I bet Big Show and Paul Heyman are calling him Paul...
Show: Hey Paul hows it going
HHH: Very good Paul thank
Heyman: Hey Paul and Paul, whats going on here?
Show: Not much, Paul.Just talking to Paul?
Heyman: Paul I got a great idea for match for summerslam. How about flag on a Paul?

Catching up on new OT and need to comment on a few things.
- Saw a post a few pages back about NXT jobber names. Nothing will ever top Philip Gouljar.
- The next NXT special seems to follow the trend that Takeover did, which is that the three top matches project to be really good to great, and the other two matches are whatever.
- Whoever H is for TNA, he/she had better hurry up and show or they might debut to an empty arena.

Or a Paul on a Paul match but that might not work in the PG era

The best part of Ryback's gimmick was that we got 2 awesome jobber names every week

Philip Gouljar was the fucking best. I hope that was not the last we've seen of him.

I don't know who's worse: Paul Levesque or Jesse Ventura (although I may go slightly towards Ventura)
Hey now, you can't see him, so it's natural you have to guess who it is.
I'm curious to see what they'll do for the final WWE published issue.
1.) Those shelves look so bare.
2.) Whoever did that has a lot of time on their hands.
3.) They may still have Elite 25 on shelves somewhere that isn't a Kmart or a Walmart. Wow.
Everyone makes fun of lolRusso over booking in WWF, WCW, and TNA, but I don't think Russo had shit on Heyman in OG ECW for over booking. Every god damn match would have 7 or 8 run ins, run ins on the run ins, swerves on those run ins, 8 or 9 different angles going on, 6 false finishes, and just general chaos.
ECW could have more run ins and swerves on an hour long show with 2 matches than TNA can do on a PPV.

Yeah, Heyman was never giving creative control of a major promotion, though. Anyone can be a bad booker, but it takes a weird sort of skill to be a perpetually awful booker who, somehow, keeps being employed by major promotions.
Incidentally, Heyman's booking style lives on through Ian Rotten - IWA-MS shows start with 8 matches on the card, but by the end of the night it'll have turned into 12 matches thanks to run-ins and Ian creating impromptu matches.

Trailer for Samoa Joe vs Rampage Brown from PROGRESS Chapter 14: Thunderbastard;
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCgxtV77fUY
This match was a ton of fun live, Joe looked like he was really enjoying himself out there and the crowd ate it up. Rampage is one of the best, if not the best, heavyweight wrestler in the UK today and proved a great opponent for Joe, plus, the rest of the show was real good too, especially the student's 3-way match and the tag title match. Well worth a buy.

Mah man. Was drinking these on the train, then had one with my curry last night.
Am paying for it now though. I had quite a bit more than a coffee for breakfast this morning.

Yeah it's pretty much all I drink now. I used to try a little bit of everything but once I discovered gin, it was over. I knew I had found my drink of choice.
And now I get to watch NXT with a couple more of these. Life is good.
How was TNA? Worth watching? Of course it wasn't, why do I even ask. But was it? Morbidly curious to watch this company die.

Lol, fucking Alex Shelley's derp face in the top left corner. I remember seeing a couple of UWA Hardcore shows, one with a real good Shelley vs Claudio match and the first show when the brought Ultimo in, iirc.
Get some Bombay Saffire if you've never tried it. The spices in it are lovely with some tonic.
Man, wanting one now. Need that hair of the dog.
Day 3 Tanahashi vs Kojima was awesome, unless this all goes downhiill day 3 is back to form. Those lariats, damn
Day 4 is more of the same. Not Czeched out day 5 yet, but that is the plan for tonight.

Show: Well Paul & Paul, I'm out gonna hop into my whirlpaul at home
HHH: Cool Paul, have fun. Paul wait a second I got something to tell you
Heyman: Yes, Paul? Does it concern Paula Abdul and Hulk Hogan on that weird American Gladiotor reboot?
HHH: Actually yes, Paul...but just now I got an awesome idea for a Paul on the next RAW: Which Paul is the best? Paul, Paul or Paul?
HHH: Damn Paul, thats why you are the boss!
