lol at JBL's face
and when did they start calling Cole "the voice of Raw"? is that another shot at JR by Vince?
I just watched a Saturday Night's Main Event from 1992, and saw more interesting wrestling and storytelling then anything from Main Line WWE in 2014.
Things I saw that you don't see anymore:
Heels walking away to retain the title
Managers being more than eye candy
Heels removing the turnbuckle cover
Heels doing stuff blatantly behind the referees back and telling the crowd to shut up
Rest holds that aren't just sleepers - short arm scissors, leg grapevines, etc
That always seems like a huge, logical heel move. Using the system to their advantage, shits me when it doesn't happen.
All the floor seats have sold out for the Tokyo Dome, so that's about 35k sold before you even factor in the stands. Guaranteed to be New Japan's biggest Dome show in years.
Dragon Gate was pretty good today, all the title matches were fun and people seemed to really like Hulk/Shingo, but it wasn't for me. I just can't buy Hulk in the top guy role. He's no CIMA.
That always seems like a huge, logical heel move. Using the system to their advantage, shits me when it doesn't happen.
Should pobably be the new #25 on wwe.coms top matches of 2014. "The Best There Is, The Best There Was and The Best To Be Replaced By Mike Adamle" is the commentary line of the year.
EDIT: That "I have until 5" is straight out of ROH, right? I don't think he's done it in WWE before.
anyone else remember this

American Kamen Rider?
Yep. Incredible show. BxB Hulk is THE guy.DG Final Gate tonight. Make sure to watch it if you are bitching about WWE aka everyone on this page.
DG was only middling? I may still watch it though. Always have fun with their talent.
Bryan seriously needs to shave for his return
If he doesn't, I'm going to de indifferent to whatever he is doing
what cartoon character looks like a goofy ass hippy ass bumByran's look is fine, wrestlers are supposed to look like over the top cartoon characters.

Only problem with the yes chant is they have been encouraging it when he was out.^^ That's what daniel bryan needs to do. Come back a stupid caveman like in the pic above (his yes gimmick still works here), or come back a heel hipster. Make him champion and bring back the old WWE title for his reign because it's vintage. Quit saying the yes chant because it has become too mainstream. His wrestling attire should be his regular outside clothing.

Strobogo, do you think he should use a real club or something made out of hollow plastic?He can drag Brie to the ring by the hair. Club guest hosts in the head.
Everyone's a tweener! IYH12 was a weird one. The matches were pretty sloppy overall, but I think guys were just trying too hard to have a good match. The event had a volatile air to it, which I appreciate.
Let us never speak of The Executioner again.
Brie: Look at me, look at me... I own the Yes chant now.Only problem with the yes chant is they have been encouraging it when he was out.

He had this awesome samurai look but it never took because he flew around the ring too much. Since he won't be doing that anymore, he should give it another go.
DOOM. Good look. Boring everything else. Still more entertaining than the Usos though
Doom was good when in the ring with other big guys and they'd have HOSS battles. Like the Steiners or LOD. Steiners FUCKED them up every time. Just dumping those dudes on their heads. Ron Simmons invented the Stone Cold Stunner in one of their matches.
Cavernario vs Daniel Bryan in a hair vs hair match.
Book it!
Brave Gate was good, Triangle Gate was great, Twin Gate was good and the Dream Gate was good to great, but I guess it'll depend on how sold you are on Hulk. With the match they showed at intermission (the hair vs hair match where BxB got his head shaved) and the pre-match video package it telegraphed the story of the match and, ultimately, the outcome. As I care not for Hulk, I couldn't get invested and the dozen or so near-falls meant nothing to me. Lots of people were freaking out for it on twitter though, so what do I know.
