Tony Dawson being legit shook at cesaro at the ending was great.
Also cesaro lifting khali r could lift lesnar

He's done it to Brodus Clay and Great Khali. I'm not sure about Big Show, but certainly I think he'd do it to Henry.

But can you truly pull off his swagger?
I know I can, it is all about confidence. I can pull it off. I CAN DO THIS.
With her permission I can! I'm just trying to perfect an art!

Probably because he's so much man in a skinny, lanky body. Bloated HHH or Vinny MAC ain't moving that kind of weight. Do they even lift (lol, ugh)?
Going to watch NXT when I get home. Man, I never thought I'd say WWE is must-see TV but Raw, Smackdown and NXT are definitely enjoyable. I do wish they'd scale back Raw to 2 hours, so we can cut away some of the fat. And get the lesser known talent over on Smackdown and NXT.

WOW!
In less than a week WWE gave us three MOTYC:
Punk vs Brock
Cena vs Bryan
Cesareo vs Zayn
There where years when we would be lucky to get one or two MOTYC from WWE, now we have like 6.

What's the best way for me to watch this match .. up on YouTube? Daily Motion?
There's all these options, but no one's happy! Gaming has never been better!

How come no one mentions Punk/Cena?
I know I saw Punk/Taker the morning after Summer Slam. The WWE definitely has a talented group of workers right now.
I think their only "issue" is pushing them, see Cesaro, Ziggler, Kofi, Fandango, etc. It seems like Punk, Shield, Bryan, Cena, HHH/McMahons, Rock, Brock, Wyatts and Diva mumbo jumbo are the top priorities of the E right now.
Seriously, Christain/Del Rio was a great match. The build up was terrible (except for the one vignette).
They need to get Cesaro away from the Americans.
I'm sure if you look or search hard enough, you'll find it.

So far I'm liking the service. Really thinking of ditching most of my cable bloat.
If anything just keep the basic channels.

Video games are serious business.
Ever since I found out about Mediahint and after that Unblock-US back in february I've been using Netflix and sometimes Hulu Plus and to be honest, if I watch 15 minutes of actual cable a week I'd be surprised.
Hulu is a bitch though, you still get ads and for some reason the Windows 8 app constantly switching back to awful video quality. Netflix services are much much better.
Awesome read. Great to know that when Trips has to be on TV or in the ring, he doesn't even wanna do it.

Sunflower has never been the same since Dave Meltzer got banned on gaming-side and everyone pooped on the xBone.

My Chromecast should be here today or tomorrow. Excited to get Boots' Dailymotion playlists running 24/7. He aggregates some of the best content.
By "everyone" do you mean poors? Because I see a bunch of cheap shits afraid of spending an extra $100 when they're going to be throwing thousands at their machine in a year.
Also yes I have a soft spot for Meltzer. He was doing God's work.

He said in the overview of the show that Sin Cara came off as "someone they've given up on, and who has given up on himself". So I think they are probably looking for a new masked man to go with so they can just drop him altogether. Overall, his signing was pretty much a disaster.

I don't get the appeal of Nakamura's swagger just like I don't get the appeal of Devitt's shitty looking gun taunt. To me it just looks like he's pretending that he's got cerebral palsy, pretty offensive in my opinion.

It really has, I was discussing this with a buddy this morning. It's really sad, because I remember the hype.
Devitt's gun taunt is pitiful you're right.
Nakamura's swagger is best accompanied by his theme though. So good. His little dance out onto the ramp at Wrestle Kingdom 7 was probably my favorite.
Sony is building the superior machine you darn Micosoft mark! Enjoy your Halo 14, you deserve eachother!

Honestly brah. $100 ain't shit compared to what we throw at consoles. I think it's all mental, and not realistic.
Of course, tell that to the 3DO.

Have we talked about the new rule changes in WWE?:
Regarding WWE rules, as best we can tell there is no rule regarding a tap out cant be called if there isnt a hold on. The whole thing on the 8/12 show in the Natalya & Khali vs. A.J. & Langston Raw match in Sacramento was a terrible position for the ref. Natalya getting up before A.J. tapped put the ref in a bad position, when A.J. panic tapped thinking something went wrong. It would look terrible if the ref, Marc Harris, called it when A.J. tapped, but by the rules, he should have, with the precedent being Ryback just quitting (a tap and verbal submission are identical) with no hold on him during the Miz vs. Ryback match with that crappy finish. They should have gone to a few moves before going right back to the sharpshooter and tap out except its live TV and they were probably told to go home and get out of it immediately. Harris was in a no win situation but there were people questioning his going on Twitter and bragging about how he made the right call.
An update on the unknown rules of wrestling, regarding mounted strikes in the corner and ground-and-pound, the new rule is the ref doesnt call for a break (previously, ground and pound punching was illegal which is why the refs would count to five on it) unless the person on the bottom stops putting their hands up to protect themselves. If they do, the referee is to stop the fight like an MMA fight, so we may see a testing out of a ground and pound finish. No doubt it wont get over big at first, because those kind of things people dont see as pro wrestling finishes. But, like so many things, if they are used regularly, they can be used once people recognize them as finishes as ways to add drama.

This is really good, definitely worth the read.
And on that day i'll understand but be sad regardless, I wanted to believe in Sin Cara.
The injuries had to have been disappointing for them. But overall, they've made their own missteps. The only two guys who blended really well with Sin Cara and his style was Del Rio and Cesaro. But other than that, and fighting guys like Heath Slater, Michael McGillicutty, Cody Rhodes, whatever, it was like a spot fest and much less a wrestling contest. Wasn't there a big rumor of signing a guy who worked with him a lot in Mexico? Averno? I wonder what happened to that. And the lighting was a weird gimmick.
His short term tag team with Rey was fun to watch; unfortunate that ended.

I love this post. Good questions. There is a real rulebook. I'd like to know what they think.
Power of the mind, and Punk.
Also the Cesaro v Sami Zayn match is great. WWE has been giving us something special in the past week.
well then, fuck religion, I'm praying to Punk from here on out.

I'd like to see weight classes as well, but I don't want it AS restrictive. Sometimes you have an amazing match between two very different classes, and I don't want people not allowed to have the match. But it would let smaller people shine. It's a tough thing to determine, though.
