Yah, WCW vs The World is pretty janky. And it had the people from The World who were reskinned and renamed too, so it was weird
I liked it though. ROUND ROBIN

My prediction for the main event in Summerslam will be: Daniel Bryan wins against John Cena clean. While celebrating in the ring, Triple H will Pedigree him in the center of the ring and then call for Orton to cash in his MITB case.

I just watched Smackdown, seems like main event at SummerSlam should be good. Other matches seem meh. Christian vs. Del Rio could be good, RVD vs. Ambrose should be good. Other matches seem like summerslam disappointment matches as usual.
I rather have Bryan about to beat Cena only to be cheated, than having him beat Cena and lose the title to Orton. It still makes Bryan look good and hopefully leads to another Cena match down the line.

Yeah. It's not huge but I'd rather he didn't advertise his merch or use twitter. I think the scrolling twitter comments during shows could be a good tool for heels to utilise but not when you're a cult hillbilly stable.
Also talking about Smackdown, I have no fucking faith in the Summerslam main event now they're already playing up Cena's injury. Would it have killed them to put off the announcement so that Bryan/Orton could take Cena out at the PPV as opposed to selling it as Bryan going in against a weakened Cena. This approach only serves to take away from Bryan's win if he pulls it off, or makes him look shitty if Cena beats him whilst injured. Where as Cena being injured during the conflict would do everyone good, the person who injured him would be a threat and Cena would have toughed it out until he was actually injured.

This Cena/Bryan feud at SS reminds me of Punk/Cena at SS a few years back with Del Rio cash in. Cena losing for sure. Bryan ain't winning for sure.

I would really love to see this happen for some reason, not because I want an Orton champion, but because I think HHH as a heel would be more entertaining than him as a face.

My guess is HHH stops the match for Cena because he refuses to tap but the match has to stopped. Bryan celebrates his WWE title win, referees help Cena to the back to get him out of the way. Orton comes out for the cash in, HHH pedigrees Bryan. Orton wins and feuds with Bryan while goes and gets his surgery.
Wyatt using Twittah to get his creepy message out makes sense to me. But anyone that is in his group should most definitely not be allowed.
That scene just screams HHH turning on Bryan.

Why is Trips always chewing on something
Fun stuffs in the mail yesterday!
We're going to bring Invasion Attack over to my folks' on Sunday before Summer Slam to show them a few matches. Started watching the Yano Toru DVD before bed last night - all of the "Toru Together" (at least I think that's what it says) segments have been great so far.
Really enjoyed the Daniel Bryan/Barrett match tonight! Great stuff all around.

I know I'm late to answer, but really, if you are determined to start only so far back, (and not in the early-90s when I would personally start someone new, probably with the Misawa/Kawada matches) you should start in '98 and follow everything going on at the top of the card with Misawa/Kobashi for sure. Don't miss the amazing run of Mutoh in 2001 either. Especially not his match v. Grumpy Old Tenryu in June of that year.

D'oh. I always make that mistake. It's even worse when Noah fired up...
In some ways Stro I think World Tour is actually better than Revenge. It has better "fake" wrestlers for one thing and it runs smoother on certain matches and the tournament mode is something no other American wrestling games have.
Revenge has pound for pound the best roster out there (Wrestlemania X8 for GCN and the first PS2 Smackdown game are close but not quite there) and its fun as hell to play but I think most of the time I'd rather play World Tour.

I can go back further, I just decided 2000 was a nice round number. mid 1990s it is.
Haha. I'll find what I can.

So after watching Smackdown I know whats gonna happen at Summerlam. Bryan will get the the clean pin. HHH music will play and HHH will hold up and take WWE title and celebrate as pyro showers down on him to end the show.

Ziggler reminds me of Quagmire in that pic.
Damn, it's getting hard to juggle work, gaming and NJPW viewing. T_T
Also, I'm very surprised that I've enjoyed the past month of RVD more than the last year of Jericho. I've been pretty tired of RVD since 2004 or so, and after that horrible TNA run, I expected the worst, but he's held his own in the ring and looks like he gives something of a shit again. He's slower, doesn't have quite as much spring in his legs, but I've quite enjoyed pretty much all of his matches.
I like how he's used and hope he doesn't get bogged down in a serious angle. I feel like he's better suited to be thrown in random matches over a guy like Jericho, who should have angles because he's better at all the out of ring stuff, but can't pretend to give a shit about any of it anyway.
Not enough wrestlers wearing jeans today. It seems like every guy is either in a suit or t-shirt with no pants. There is an in between. It's jeans and a t-shirt. I think Wade is the only guy I see wear jeans and his shirts once in a while. He didn't even wear pants to shave Daniel Bryan. You'd think he was expecting Daniel to shave him.
Wait.

Holy shit, Cena trying to get the "you can't wrestle" chant going was brutal and hilarious. That was amazing. He was trying so hard to get it started and it sounded like maybe 100 people from the concessions were chanting it, so of course WWE cuts to the crowd looking completely dazed and not giving a shit. It was so faint Cena had to look at the camera and TELL the home audience that they were chanting it. Just take my word for it, guys. And then the boring chant.
So full of lol. Good promo, though. I wish he'd keep his word life swagger and cadence instead of that bizarre speaking style he normally has.

That crowd was the best crowd ever in terms of their negative reaction to Cena. They didn't care enough to react. Much better statement than the merciless boos.
It was so funny. They just didn't react. They didn't even really react when he came out, either. Complete indifference except for YES chants. I also lol'd hard at them cutting to the crowd during Kane's promo on the screen and the main thing on the screen was a guy standing up, eating, and not even facing the screen.
They have to stop cutting to the crowds during promos. They have like 2 years worth of shots of audiences not reacting to anything and looking like they're about to fall asleep. I can't believe Vince hasn't flipped his shit about those shots on every show.

If Trips is the catalyst for an Orton cash-in on D.Brine, I don't see D.Brine feuding with Orton for the title. I see him feuding with Trips and losing. And then feuding with Nash.
Meanwhile Orton will defend the title against a random face that will get pushed out of nowhere... like Ziggles or RVD or Kofi (with *NEW* pants)... or GAF's favorite, The Miz.

So like most other PPVs then.
At least this one won't end with CENA WINS... LOL and the "same old shit" graphic circa 2006. (Or will it.....?)
Its a right of passage, once Punk lost to HHH and wore the blazer he had long and successful title run. Now it's Bryan's turn, and I doubt Nash ever sends a text to himself again.
If you guys want to hear how SummerSlam should actually go down Sunday, I did a Fantasy Booking podcast: http://ozoneent.com/zonecasts/heelturn/2013_08_15.mp3
My friend kills it with the intro song, and at the beginning I forget how to use words.

Cena is going to win. Some NXT guys come out and beat him up on Raw. Orton looks confused and uses his shot. Remember, WWE changed the MitB rules where the Champ has to be on his feet to cash it in. None of that Punk cashing in on Edge while he's knocked out shit.

I saw Barrett come out in his coat instead of his T-shirt which got me thinking if Plywood snitching on him to HBO had anything to do with it.
Turns out the shirt is still available for purchase, so Barrett is still throwing shyte at the wall to see if anything sticks.

But isn't that how Bryan beat Big Show a couple years ago?

good lord
the bell rung before the ref gave the case and it wasn't even an announcement
I remember on a Raw, somebody tried to cash in and the champ was knocked out so the ref never rung the bell to start the match....I think it was Miz trying to cash in
