Someone needs to gif the post swing dizzy Orton + athletic Sezzy flip into powerslam sequence. Was awesome. Cesaro continues to impress more and more each match (seriously, like since his debut), but Orton really made him look freaking good. I can't wait until Cesaro is a Main-Event-Playah'

Orton is an amazing worker, he's on of the few guys in the WWE that could fit in any era of wrestling.
BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!

Good stuff on Smackdown tonight.
Wow. Super clean win as well.
Only PPVs is tough, as a lot of Kane's best matches were on TV. Here are some of my favorites, though. Singles matches, only. No particular order.
vs. Taker WM 14
vs. Taker, Inferno match, Unforgiven 1998
vs. HBK, Unforgiven 2004
vs. HHH, Chain Match, Judgment Day 2001
vs. Stone Cold, King of the Ring, 1998
vs. Benoit, Bad Blood, 2004
vs. Booker T, No Way Out, 2007
vs. Jericho, Last Man Standing, Armageddon, 2000
vs. Mysterio, Summerslam 2010
vs. Angle, WM 18
vs. RVD, SummerSlam 2003
vs. Jericho, Survivor Series 2000
vs. Bryan, SummerSlam 2012
Some others. Kane vs. Raven vs. Big Show at WM 17 (really fun match), Kane vs Shane at Unforgiven 2003 and Survivor Series 2003. Kane vs Taker at Night of Champions 2010 is also a really good brawl, and it was the best match of that feud (before Taker's shoulder just gave out).

To be fair this is exactly how they played it back during the attitude era during the DX heel run.

tap that thorax
She finally fell asleep, maybe if I whisper "therapy" in her ear for a while, it will subconsciously take hold. I'm laying in bed watching House of Cards on my fuckin phone. I don't want to just be a dickhead and leave. She would probably get over it but one of her roommates is up and about and that would be a weird convo at 2:40 am. Maybe I could smang the roomie?

you'll never know if you don't try. godspeed.
@Kane
i reviewed the best match of his career recently:
https://legitshook.squarespace.com/...4/2/10/pwfg-glen-jacobs-vs-daisuke-ikeda-1994
you can find the vid on the tube.
There are a lot more that you can add, but I'm only including singles matches. Hell, there are a lot more singles matches that can be added, but I'm tired, lol.

3. Lustfully Spine Buster her onto the couch
4.???
5. Shotgun Wedding
6. Unhappy marriage with a wife and kid I never wanted
7. Early death
Sounds good. Time to pull up YouTube and get this shit goin
Ah, that's true. The match against Shane at what, Unforgiven 2003 or something, was cool too.
Well, you misspelled his name (Glenn, not Glen). That match has been posted multiple times on WrassleGAF by a few people, myself included. GGG was originally trained in shoot fighting in Japan, but that's not his best match.

Doesn't surprise me. Orton has no problem putting people over. Clean, too.
So I'm gonna post it now and see how it goes a month in. I won't be watching Raw or the PPVs, so you'll just have to confirm it for me as I go. As someone who hasn't regularly watched the product in over a year now outside of a spare match or two.
John Cena will win the title at Elimination Chamber
John Cena will come out on Raw and talk about his hard fought match and how his eyes are set on Wrestlemania
I WALK ALOOOONE
Batista comes out dressed like someone his daughter would date.
John says 'Hey, man. I hope you're not still sore about last time.' He'll wink at the camera and use some lame callback, 'I promise I don't have any duct tape!' or something a little bit easier to bury Batista with 'I hope you're not a basketball and hold grudges!'
Batista will smile. He'll say 'congrats champ! But don't get used to that name. Because the champ' Batista will point to himself 'Is Here'
Randy Orton will come out and claim he was robbed of his title and that neither could beat him one on one.
John will ask how his date with Michael Sam went /chuckles
Randy will storm backstage and demand a match
Triple H or Stephanie will say, you know Randy if you really want a rematch you have to prove to me you deserve it(throwing out the rematch clause that only applies sometimes or when it's convenient) Tonight you'll be facing Batista! With John Cena in his corner!
Orton gets into it with Cena during the match
Batista bomb
Not to be outdone or have someone else's music play, the Batista bomb will immediately be followed by an Attitude Adjustment
Exit Orton
Wrestlemania
John Cena and Batista will have a terrible match
It will be absolutely terrible
The crowd will shit on it because the match is terrible, and Batista isn't a Rock caliber star
John Cena will win
John Cena will force Batista to hold his arm up, fireworks will block out the boos
Wrasslegaf will be asleep

K-1 - AKEBONO vs REMY BONJASKY - 2004
time for another match from everyone's favourite AJPW Triple Crown champion, Akebono. this happened at the height of Akebono popularity in Japan. Bonjasky is a former 3-times K-1 WGP champion, one of the finest kickboxers of his generation. 238 pounds vs 514. oh boy. match is underway. Akebono just moves forward while Remy tries to wing it as best as he can.
shit, look at the fat rippling when Remy kicks him. HAHAHA!!
Akebono, or Akebonaya like the russian commentator calls him, is firmly planted in center ring. Remy tries to open him up with kicks but gets bullrushed. things are not looking good for our dutch hero.
oh shit, Akebono takes him to the corner. Remy escapes and lands a couple of hard shots on Akebono's fat face. ENZIGURI!!! but Remy misses. oh man, crazy fight.
Remy lands a 1-2 on Akebono. the big man shakes his head!!! HAHA, he signals Remy to hit him again. careful what you wish for, Akebono.
1st round is over, somehow Remy is still standing. Akebono took some hards shots but survived easily, does Remy got what it takes to take the big man down? 2nd round starts the same way as the first, Remy circling Akebono. good shots by the dutchman. FLYING KNEE!! but misses the spot.
Akebono is beyond gassed at this point, is barely mobile. Remy keeps hitting low kicks and high with his hands. Remy is all over him now. Akebono is saved by the bell. 3rd round is up, Remy knows he can go all in. body shot, Akebono feels this one deep. Remy throws a jab... TIMBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!! stunning head kick ko, shame gifs don't have sound cause you can hear the jaw cracking.
gorgeous.

Good stuff on Smackdown tonight.
So glad Cesaro is getting pushed.
I've just gotten to the fatal 4 way and it's such a good show in general this week. Swagger is so fucking good at times and even Big E's dull commentary didn't take too much away.
ROFL at Mark Henry teasing the suicide dive though.
Marvel
could never
LOL, yeah good old Mizark.
Great show I thought, you're right about Swags he really is a beast.
Looks like it, although I skipped a large chunk when I saw that match come on but I doubt it was on afterwards.
EDIT: Just got done with the main event, great fucking match, Ortons best non-Bryan one for a while and it wasn't all Ceasaro, he brought it. Loved that spot with the doctor and he just seemed a bit more energetic than he has been. Seemed more like the Orton from the Smackdown Christian feud.
You'd hope. I have a feeling his push will begin at MitB PPV instead. Reigns is after WM.
Good stuff on Smackdown tonight.
I'm confused. Why is the champ jobbing to some unknown dude on Smackdown? Clean...
Good stuff on Smackdown tonight.
Is this was in Ring Of Honor, we'd all be laughing at the generic bloke in black trunks who refused to sell and kept popping up to his feet.
And I'm someone who thinks Randy Orton's one of the best wrestlers in the world.

Seems New Japan's Invasion Attack at Sumo Hall is almost sold out, which is pretty crazy considering it isn't until April. NJPW's definitely on the up.
The TNA title matches are set for W-1's Sumo Hall show;
3/2 W-1 Sumo Hall
TNA X-Division title: Austin Aries vs. Seiya Sanada
TNA World Tag title: The Bromans vs. Kaz Hayashi & Shuji Kondo
TNA World Heavyweight title: Magnus vs. KAI
Meh. I wanted Aries vs Hama
Magnus vs KAI should be good, though.
This. Every possible nit is picked when it comes to indie wrestling, but WWE routinely gets a free pass for stuff like that.
Also, this is why WWE needs 'fighting spirit' spots - if Orton had got up both those times showing fighting spirit, instead of acting all woozy, it wouldn't have looked anywhere near as dumb.

if that was ROH, Orton would've won with a phoenix splash followed by a flip sitout powerbomb 20 seconds later.

Either sell and stay down, or do a fighting spirit spot. That's my take on it. Also, there's a difference between a guy who's taking a combo of moves showing a bit of fighting spirit to facilitate the chaining of the combo and guys like Shibata & Goto trading back drop drivers.
When was the last time you actually watched some ROH?

Oh, this should be good;
Some crazy tag wrestling booked for this show, what with the Swords vs ICMG and Project Ego vs The Young Bucks. Should hopefully prove to be an awesome night of wrestling. Also, Ric Flair! Woooooo!

Do you think he's compensating for something?
