Whats makes it funny is that AAA employs 2 people who they can pass off as Sin Cara build wise. He appeared very briefly in the ring before the lights went out and he disappeared and no one is sure it was really him. The curse could attack multiple people!
Damien Sandow is the latest example. Even calling him an afterthought is giving too much credit to the people in charge.
I forgot Sandow existed. That makes me sad. It's hard to count how many balls have been dropped in the last 5-7 years.
A few off the top of my head:
Sandow
Cody Rhodes when he was feuding with Rey/Randy and brought back the IC Championship
JoMo when he was over
D-Bryne
Ryback when he was over
Nexus
Just to name a few.

They've dropped all of the balls, stro.
The road to the WWE looks like that old Sony Bravia commercial. Except each one of those balls is a wrestler's soul.
I've never seen a Sony Bravia commercial, but dropping all the balls is something I agree with. It's like Vince just forgot everything he learned about wrestling around 2003.
they somehow killed Big John Studd but he came back, too bad Scooby won, just to promote the damn DVD.
Fun thing is that, the guy in the skype call Pizza guy tony ..WORKS for WWE.
yeah, but they only gave fans a glimpse, in turn teasing that Rey de Reyes is the first place you get a good look at him. It makes no sense, since you're selling out Rey de Reyes regardless, but im willing to bet they repeat this at every show til the show. Lucha libre booking is so weird. Only place where they try to cause confusion as to who was that masked man
Actually Meltzer has reported from day one it was just the PPV's. It's just something people assumed and somehow turned into fact by pretending there was an announcement of some sort on that.

We live in a new world. Triple H will soon be called H.
Didn't Angle win? I thought that was the night Eric Angle debuted, got pinned and then Kurt pinned Taker.
What does the "E" in "Big E" stand for anyway?

That was Survivor Series 2000, with Takers's colourful camo pants.

Glad I am not the only one who has noticed. He has just been awful. Especially his match with Rusev. Kalista future.
His real name is Ettore Ewen.
Except EC wont be available for 30 days.
My plans are ruined!
I have to say, this is the best gimmick the IWC has come up with in years.

I just saw a I got Mania 26. Although I was hoping for something from the New Generation having to review Taker vs HBK will have to do.

I've not been the biggest fan of CHIKARA for the past year, but it'll be great to have them back putting on shows regularly. Hoping they'll knock it out of the park with the return show, which I'm assuming will be an iPPV?
Also, anyone watching DGUSA tonight? The card looks pretty random with no Japanese talent on the show, but there's a good few matches that should prove to be fun;
Saturday: REVOLT! 2014 - Elmhurst, NY (VOD shortly after the event)
*OPEN THE FREEDOM GATE TITLE MATCH: Johnny Gargano (c) vs. Trent Baretta
*NON-TITLE MATCH: AR Fox vs. Drew Gulak
*OPEN THE UNITED GATE TITLE MATCH: The Bravado Brothers (c) vs. Chuck Taylor & Orange Cassidy
*Rich Swann vs. Anthony Nese
*Jigsaw vs. Shane Strickland
*NON-TITLE MATCH: Ivelisse Velez vs. Su Yung
*PLUS: Tim Donst, Caleb Konley, Mr. A and more
Looking forward to Tim Donst making his debut as well.

Not true. Raw replays were always in the Network FAQ. Now it's been changed to Best of Raw.
Without raw replays the network is a glorified clip show app. Like no one goves a shit about Bigfoot, I don't give a shit about ppvs of yesteryear, so fuck them. I want new content.
Coming up next: recycled interview clips for this week's countdown. The best finishers that only use legs.
What bums me out is yeah sure you can go see Fully Loaded '99, but I had hoped we could see the build up to the show itself. What happens on Raw and Smackdown for all these feuds, what's going on story-wise and who have they been wrasslin'. Oh well.
I wonder what they'll do for any Saturday Night Main Events.

I'm going to Japan in a few months and am thinking of going to the DDT and/or NJPW shows that will run while I'm there. Anyone know rough ticket prices and if it's possible to buy them online?

I believe you can buy tickets online from the NJPW website, but ticket prices vary depending on the venue - top-price tickets seem to range from 7,000 ~ 15,000 yen, while some venues have cheaper seats as low as 2,000 ~ 4,000.
When are you heading out there? I'd definitely recommend buying tickets well in advance, as New Japan have been doing excellent business so far this year and shows are selling out quickly.

I generally try to keep my gifs below 5mb, especially if it's a review with lots of gifs.
This whole "Raw/SD" replay thing has sure affected you deeply. Here's a hint, don't pay the $9.99, watch Raw and SD live on tv, Hulu Plus, ilegal stream etc.
Or better yet, stop supporting that lying, misleading, corrupt, hate monger of a company known as WWE and never give them a single rating or $ dollar again.

You're all just mad because everything I said about the clip show app is true.
