I assume Morishima has had to wear a diaper and top hat to play "New Year's Baby" on a NOAH show before right?
EDIT: More like Spider from Jerk-planet

Morishima DOES look like a baby, but he's fucking brutal. Worth watching some of his work.

We don't even talk about Lucha here. What makes you think we'll talk about real-ass mexican food?
Speaking of lucha, I'm thinking about getting into it again, but I don't know where to start. I think I'll start watching stuff from AAA's youtube page.

I'm pretty sure Morishima vs Lesnar would be all kinds of fun.

Main Event Player!
why have him turn heel if he is just going to job out to everyone, they were a perfectly fine face jobbing team

So he can be a main event player on Main Event
I could actually see his look working if he was paired with a Heyman-type manager, in a Majin Buu and Babidi sort of way.

I haven't watched Main Event in months, but has he actually headlined the show recently? I don't know if it would be funnier if he did or didn't.
I... I kinda want this now.

Weird thought about the Punk situation: I would be more inclined to believe it was real if they do mention it and have someone cut a promo on him Monday than if they don't. Wrestling is fucked.
Someone sent up the lucha signal!

Would be better than Akebono vs. Big Show... which was deemed WrestleMania-worthy less than a decade ago.
Wrestlers are such marks. Fuckers won't stand up and unionize, but top stars will walk out over storylines on a children's TV show. I still genuinely believe this is a work, but if it's real, I'm more inclined to believe that this is over PPV bonuses, instead of Punk walking out because the "fans deserve better."

The PPV bonus thing is important, and a big change to how things work.
On the plus side, you have a FAR more stable paycheck instead of going with the ebbs and flows of PPV paydays.
On the negatives, it kills some of the desire to push to be in the main event.

Now I'm no Big City Slicker Lawyer, but if you had a contract with a company that gave you significant bonuses based on one of the company's revenue streams, then said company shut down that revenue stream in order to create a more lucrative one without indicating that they would be providing you a new source of bonuses that might be considered a breach on the part of the company.
EDIT: Sorry after posting I was reminded that it was RD Evans month. I *am* a Big City Slicker Lawyer right now.

The fact that the WWE is having an emergency 2-day meeting over Creative and yet still hasn't blocked an hour with their talent to go over their revised PPV bonus structure over 3 weeks since the Network was unveiled is very telling.
If I was WWE talent I would be assuming the PPV bonuses are gone for good after Elimination Chamber (DVD bonuses as well because they won't be coming out as often any more) and would be worrying about my other lines of income going away.
Perhaps instead of selling T-Shirts through the WWE Shop or at house shows, the WWE will only sell monthly subscriptions to the Network and you can pick a free T-Shirt of your choice to go along with it.
The shirts still cost the same price but because they're now called WWE Network subscriptions, the talent get nothing.

Ah thank you kindly. I'll check it out when I get home!
I think if more people started walking out, that'd turn around really fast. As it is right now, WWE's in reaction mode. They're working to salvage the Biggest Show Of Them All: 30th Anniversary Edition so their biggest gamble in a generation goes off without any more hitches. To accomplish that, retooling the card is more important than dealing with talent who aren't yet in open rebellion. Dealing with the problem in front of them instead of the potential one seems like a valid move for the immediate short term. But again, the dynamics for these problems can change really fast.

Clearly Punk is just negotiating like you would with your cable company, only he just wants the WWE Network

Yup. And poor little Spider-Dragon is caught in the middle of it all.

HUSTLE - BOB SAPP vs AKEBONO - 2008
... what the fuck?
why is Sapp speaking english and his promo being subbed in english for the japanese crowd? i... no... what?
ok, the match. Sapp vs his archrival Akebono. Sapp gets attacked immediately.
scrap outside the ring for a while. inside the ring they trade shoulder blocks. Akebono gets pissed and hits a LOUD stiff clothesline.
ref bump. ref died.
BIG scoop slam from Akebono, big pop from the crowd.
Sapp gets hyped out of his mind and mounts a comeback with some big forearm smashes.
the dead ref is kidnapped and a new dude shows up out of nowhere and becomes the official ref. what?
turns out the ref is on Sapp's side. some dude hits Akebono with a chair and Sapp capitalizes with a back suplex for the 3 count.
i have no idea who these people are but they are stomping on Akebono for some reason.

Yuji Nagata & Takashi Iizuka vs Toshiaki Kawada & Masanobu Fuchi - (NJPW 12/14/2000)
Lots of fun stuff going on in this match - the crowd are fully behind Nagata and Iizuka as they do battle with the All Japan invaders and there's some interesting stories throughout, like Nagata and Kawada hating each other a ton, Fuchi wanting no part of Nagata, prefering to be a dick to the inexperienced Iizuka, plus, Iizuka trying to stand up to Kawada and immediately regretting it.
Also, it continually amazes me how different Iizuka is today. Totally different wrestler.
