There is a simple way to do it, do the Neogaf N in white with the red swoosh under it like the WWE logo has. I don't have the photoshop skills to do such a design though.

Or just make an nWo style gAf logo.

Personally, I'm not too keen on wearing any shirt that identifies me as someone who posts on messageboards, let alone that I'm a wrestling fan.

I find this funny considering out of everyone on here, you're probably the biggest wrestling fan.

Wrestling shirts in general are embarrassing out in public. Especially lately.

Yeah, definitely. I remember I was so happy I got a Lance Storm t-shirt back in Grade 10 after the Nitro show in Kitchener. Wore it to school the next day, no one knew who it was so I got made fun of. Never wore it again! :(

The appeal of a WrassleGaf shirt is that no one knows what the hell it is. Plus, I don't give a shit what people think of me! :D

Heh, too many years of having to explain why you're a wrestling fan will do that to a person.

It's strange, if you tell someone "I collect model trains" they'll politely nod and assume a look that says "please don't start talking to me about model trains" - but if you say to someone "I'm a wrestling a fan" they'll get an incredulous look in their eyes, maybe laugh in disbelief and ultimately do what every 'normal' person does when encountering an adult wrestling fan; ask you "why?".

Oh boy. Only Fatal Four Way, and Bragging Rights is free.or nothing is... finally learned to read the image

I am coming close cancelling Sky Sports at this rate... would happily Youtube RAW, and grab the few PPV I want.

Same here. 9 PPVs at £15 a pop on top of the Sky Sports sub is ridiculous.

Hopefully the asterisk means something, and they go a different way. Wont decide on canceling Sky Sports until after Mania anyway. If this is true to, I think it finally pushed me over the line into doing so

I won't lie to you. I had the ticket page up this morning and it was tempting to do it, but it's just too soon after Mania to justify the expense.

Yea yea Royal Rumble hype, blah, blah... of course I am watching it.

I just have to say that Impact was great last night and I just love how the production value of the overall product gets better every week. Definitely been the better wrestling program in 2012 so far. It's getting more violent, the younger talent are the main event stars. Bully Ray is far better as a singles character. And yes, most of the show was Knockouts Porn... Hardy is getting over on me too and I am upset that Boody Roode is the coward heel champion. They still sell his chops in the ring well but I am somewhat upset how they are using their star talent. But his new theme is godly, so I'll give it a pass for now. And Sting... I hated him because I was an nWo fanboy at the time but now I think he is the best guy on the mic there is, best GM ever.

P.S. - Jericho for the Rumble!

Think about it.... Jericho comes in as number two, ignores the Miz and just screams and works the crowd. Ignores Miz, walks under the top rop and just leaves ringside.... to just come in after number 30 and take the Rumble.

David Otunga wins pro bono legal case
By: Anthony Benigno January 27, 2012

David Otunga, who serves as the legal counsel to EVP of Talent Relations and Interim Raw GM John Laurinaitis, took to the courts on Thursday in a pro bono case against the New York State Department of Labor. Otunga had been hired to represent a man who claimed he had been wrongfully terminated from his job and, as a result, was receiving no unemployment benefits. After hearing arguments from both sides, the judge sided with the legal eagle WWE Superstar.

"I smoked the witness during cross examination," Otunga told TMZ after the case had concluded. His client subsequently won the appeal, and will now receive the appropriate benefits.

While it may seem surprising for a WWE Superstar to accomlish such a feat, it's just business as usual for Otunga. The dapper Superstar is no stranger to balancing two workloads -- not to mention winning cases. "I actually worked as a full time trial lawyer in Boston while in my third year at Harvard Law School," Otunga told WWE.com. "Most people couldn’t have handled trying to graduate from the most prestigious law school in the world while trying cases full time, but I’m obviously not most people."

Otunga says he takes the pro bono cases simply to keep his skills up, and not necessarily because he needs the payday. "I don’t have time for a full caseload because I’m a globally recognizable WWE Superstar and Official Legal Counsel to Executive Vice President of Talent Relations and Interim Raw General Manager, Mr. John Laurinaitis," Otunga tells us, "But I like to stay sharp."

Adding to the accomplishment is that Otunga is undefeated in court cases, proving that if nothing else, Mr. Laurinaitis chose well in appointing his counsel and will be well-equipped when Chief Operating Officer Triple H evaluates Laurinaitis' job performance next Monday on Raw SuperShow.

"I’ve tried twenty cases and I’ve won them all," Otunga told WWE.com. "I have a perfect record. What else would you expect from someone like me?"

So if Otunga gives an especially emphatic slurp of his coffee at the Royal Rumble this Sunday, know he's got a pretty good reason.

WWE will drop the ball if we don't get Otunga in a court room on Raw one week.

In 2010, Mitt Romney made $200000 in 3 days 8 hours 52 minutes and 53 seconds.

It would take David Otunga 108 years 3 months 20 days 16 hours 52 minutes and 1 seconds to make what Mitt made in 2010.

that loser!

They just need to keep him out of the ring.

Who knows, when the Johnny stuff blows over stick Otunga as commissioner.

I'll be alright as long as he keeps selling getting hit with boxes.

Bless his heart.

A Bad Brains rip off, that's so awesome. I bought tickets for my girlfriend and I for the ROH/Chikara mega show, as well. I can't wait! This will be our first Chikara show.

(Well, that and I've been playing the 3rd game.)

Somehow, I think it'd be funny for him to just randomly shout out, "OBJECTION!"

He could do it Hogan style with the dramatic point to begin his fight back and I still demand that he one day throws his legal papers into an opponents face or at least bludgeon them with his thermos. I'd love to see them fully play up his lawyer background.

On another note I saw the Miz on sky sports news earlier hyping up the rumble for the UK audience, after seeing him do the same for WM last year I have to say that he handles these sort of interviews well, more enjoyable then his mic antics on Raw.
 
Mark Henry injured again:


Mark Henry suffered what is believed to have been a hyperextended knee at this past Tuesday's Smackdown taping in Tucson, Arizona. The injury, which will air on Smackdown tonight, occurred when Henry was throwing a punch and his knee moved forward before he had completely planted his foot during a move. Henry, who has been working through a groin issue, has had knee problems in the past.

The finish of Smackdown had to be changed on the fly due to the injury. The original plan was
for Daniel Bryan to attack Big Show with a chair after Show had Henry down. Show would make a comeback, chokeslam Bryan and leave him for dead. The show would then end with Henry splashing the World champion, leaving his ability to overcome both contenders at the Rumble in doubt.

Instead, what airs on Smackdown tonight, according to Nate Tyler, who saw the Australian broadcast is:

"They clearly call an audible as Henry collapses like he's been shot in the thigh and rolls outside and they go to commercial, however the finish (count-out) happens off-camera, with Bryan already attacking Show when they resume with Henry presumably already in the back getting treatment."

Since Henry is such a trooper, he's likely to work the Rumble with this latest injury as well.
