WWE has turned everyone who isn't a heel feuding with Cena into betas. One thing about the attitude era is that guys had their personalities that remained the same no matter what there spot was on the card. When Jericho was on the midcard and first got thrown into the ME is character didn't change. He was still cocky and wasn't looking for someone to win so that they could give him a fair shot. Ever since Bryan has been in the ME they dropped the aggressive, little man complex side of his character.

Question guys, which Wrestling Move (or Finisher) would cause the most damage in a real life fight?
I've always wondered if I ever got in a real life fight and tried to Super Kick someone in the face, how much that would do.Would a DDT onto concrete kill someone?
Seems like the GTS would murder someone, or at the very least break a ton of shit (and probably your knee) if real life.
Better to ask which moves are actually usable in real life. Ironically the figure 4 can be used in grappling defensively and to get a sub.

Aaaaaand that's what I'm hoping out of this Wyatt program. A more aggressive, take no prisoners, Daniel Bryan. Bray Wyatt is like this existential meta-character ala Abed from Community where he just calls out all the bs that Bryan went and currently is going through and all the bs in wrestling in general. This is definitely something too deep for the monkeys at WWE Creative to think about or there's just too many hurdles (i.e. Vince) to get that angle take that direction.
Or maybe my fantasy booking is just too pie in the sky but seriously, all the teases of Bryan/Wyatt has to lead to this.
I hate this obsession with "the look". If they are good and people like them they should be pushed.
what about the future Conrad Dashton or Mark Vermont ?

I was there at the taping, but I have no idea what he means by a "full reveal".
Maybe they explicitly mentioned that Santa is Foley this time. Though I honestly don't remember if they actually did that.

Foley definitely takes Santa Claus very seriously, so yeah, I can see him getting worked up about that.

AJ just did a submission sleeper hold on Kaitlyn and both Alex Riley and Josh Matthews are calling it the Black Widow.
Repeatedly.
For longer than a minute.
Way to suck at your job guys, no wonder you're stuck on Main Event. Josh Matthews gets credit for blaming Alex Riley at the end for incorrectly calling it and throwing him off. No wonder what he was doing before.

say it to his face!
I'd like to punch him in the face when he's doing commentary here or on NXT for that matter, can't I just do that instead?
That'd be fine but I can't promise he won't snitch on you for it.
Also, Curtis Axel is "hardcore" ?
At least it's not women's bags.
I can definitely see Reigns beating Kane's 11 man record. He'll make it to the final 4 as well I bet but will get eliminated by Ambrose running in for whatever reason (unless Ambrose is also one of the final 4).

UGH, what the fuck? I watch NXT to get away from H's, but now he's opening the freaking show with a monotonous, boring-ass promo? And the NXT marks in the crowd are helping fuel his ego? FAHKING BULLSHEEEET!!
Wow, that was fucking dire. He can't even tell the difference between an Octopus Stretch and a Guillotine Choke.

For those who don't read the magazine, barely an issue goes by without the editor mentioning how crappy Cena's offense is, how overrated Jericho is or how much of a cheapskate Foley is. At least one of the three (usually Cena) gets mentioned every single issue!

I can't wait until Cena befriends him to leech of his rising face star power, he'll go to bat for Reigns getting him a title match on an upcoming episode of Raw and run down to save him from an inevitable post match beatdown, it's gonna be swell.

I'd love to see a promotion based around that top 10, though. Daniel Bryan vs Tomohiro Ishii feud, please.
I'm not much of an Orton fan, but he does have one of the best scoop powerslams in the business for my money. Can't say the same about any of Cena's moves - it is kinda ridiculous not to include him, though. Hell, Bully Ray's in there.

Masato Yoshino is in my fave five for sure.

Me too, there was kind of a crazy art to those posts, was he future endeavoured or just suspended?
Still better than Tony Dawson, who on his last NXT tapings, in the span of a minute, called a bulldog a DDT, a spinebuster a suplex, a suplex a slam, and asked Regal what a rear chinlock does (you know that thing where they wrap their arm around a guy's neck and squeeze).
Though Alex Riley is (reportedly) a trained wrestler, so him not knowing any moves is especially absurd.
