Same shit is going to happen with Husky Harris and his coworkers from Waffle House.
Goddam AJ.
I'm drunk right now
and I just read that entire op
THAT FUCKING OP MAN
i wonder how long the boring chants for orton and daniel bryan/yes chants for bryan will continue at this rate. I'm thinking til mania at LEAST. they teased that shawn/bryan match, and if they don't deliver now, I think people will be pissed.

AJ come on, you have to have limits

could never
I'm inclined to believe this.
I'm okay with this, I'd like to see someone retire and actually stay retired.
I think in 2013, the total amount of minutes I spent watching current wrestling might not even be the length of one Raw. I wonder if this will continue in 2014.
It would be fine if he could stop appearing four times a year (inevitably superkicking someone) in a business where everything is supposed to build to a match.

Happy New Year everyone. 2014 will be the year for John Cena. He will finally win the big one.
Maybe he'll be the one to break that trend, and it'll mean more since he never came on to job or whatever. It has to happen eventually, but if Slaughter or Hacksaw suddenly stopped, no one would notice. I guess Bruno could count too, though I'd bet he could still stretch 90% of the roster if he wanted.

What? Beast vs Animal! Two huge dudes throwing bombs at each other! I doubt it could live up to the expectations I have in mind, but I'd definitely be interested in seeing Batista vs Lesnar.
Hopefully it's like Hansen vs Vader (without the eyeball popping out of socket);

*edit, I just read AJ Styles is going to be at ROH's shows in Philly in February, in addition to the January dates he's performing on - word is that they've booked AJ Styles vs Paul London II for the 12th Anniversary Show on February 21st!! Holy shit, super hyped for that, if true - their original encounter was AWESOME;

I kinda liked the part where Bryan somewhat hesitated while on the stage with the crowd chanting, seemed a subtle hint.
Also, seems like we're getting a charity Joshi/Puro event here in Manila on the 25th for the benefit of the typhoon victims, with these peeps advertised to appear:
I'm planning to watch this since it's a rare sight for our country to be getting ANY type of live wrestling.

Wouldn't mind seeing both matches in all honesty. Though Takers streak is over if it happens, lol.

Can't wait for Mistico to shed the last vestiges of the cancer that is Sin Cara and remind everyone why he was signed in the first place.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3fv5RJXgd8
That being said, where does Mistico show up to wrestle? I presume he can't use the Mistico name any more and CMLL weren't pleased with him leaving, so not sure how keen they'd be to bring him back, especially as they have a new Mistico. He always did well in Japan, but NJPW's deal with CMLL could prevent him from working there. I guess there's always AAA, or perhaps he'll show up elsewhere....
"Good god! That's Luis Alvirde! The former Mistico! What's he doing here in the Impact Zone, Tazz?"

Something related to PSA grading.
P-ese, like a gangsta luchador
Actually. Don West could come on trying to sell graded TNA cards of stars who don't wrestle there now, and when someone objects, P-ese could be like his heavy.

Book it, Dixie! His gimmick could be that he'd continually interrupt matches to get the wrestlers to sign their merchandise, so Don West could then sell it. Obviously, someone would lose a match because they were distracted by signing autographs, so they'd demand a feud with Signed Card, but Don West would buy them off with free merchandise.

That style of wrestling cannot get over in The E.
The highlight of the show was that it was all Renee Young.

Just another reason to hold 'The E' in such high contempt.

Cena beating Taker would probably close out my current run with WWE.
Memphis! Over the next few weeks, I'll be doing the best of the 80s set. Most of them are just straight matches, but there are bonus discs full of promos and angles. No more XPW/CZW forever. And I'm going to put it all up on Youtube so everyone can watch. I believe there are a few bonus bonus discs of promos missing, but all the matches and King/Kaufman stuff are on here.

Awesome, I didn't get too see enough Memphis before my HDD died and I lost my set of full TV episodes, so I'm really looking forward to these reviews.
I did get this great Lawler gif, though;
Only a day left until I get the Orange collection of GCW - looking forward to working through this stuff, although there isn't enough to do a full year in review, unfortunately, just random stuff from '78-83. Lots of young Flair.

Nah, they'll end Taker's streak with Cena.
Taker will be the heel in the feud. THE OTHER TWENTY ONE MEAN NOTHING UNLESS I BEAT YOU, JOHN.
Ryder and Hornswoggle, John Cena's best friends, are beaten up every Raw leading up to WM30. His Bella is kidnapped too.

Watching WWA's Inception while reading Strobogo's review is interesting! It is a terrible show, and I hope Borash is never allowed anywhere near the Booking position of a promotion again.

Whenever I see Husky Harris and his possee they disgust me. They can protect Husky all they want, but he is a worse wrestler than Harper and Rowan and that is saying alot. I feel bad for all the little kid families that purchase a paperview with them wrestling.
Might just be because it's early, but I chuckled.

Harper is a good big man. Rowan is boring and Bray gets gassed after 2 minutes.

Yep. Somebody didn't tell him that a tank with a Ferrari engine wouldn't move at all.
Sounds like someone never saw his match versus Jericho at NXT that was very good.

I only remember 2 matches from Bray since he's been in the WWE. The handicap match vs Bryan where he looked great and the inferno match vs Kane where he was against Kane.

Finally getting around to watching the best of Jim Breaks set I purchased a while back, I really like his submission, the imaginatively titled 'Jim Breaks Special';
That'd be a good submission for someone like Mark Henry to have.

Raw viewership of 2012 to 2013:
The three hour Raws does have an effect of the amount of viewers compared to 2 hours. The overall pattern for the 3 hour Raws is hour 2 the highest than it falls in hour 3. The only difference in 2013 the average of the 3 hour raw was up compared to 2012.
