The Rock caused John Cena to have the worst year of his career when he didn't put him over in WM28. The Rock gets none of my hustle, loyalty, or respect.

Cena wouldn't stand for his Summer Blockbuster opening at number 2 to a hoeski.

John Cena's biggest domestic hit grossed 18 million in total in the box office.

I wonder if this is just a one shot or if he'll have a 2nd half of his career like HBK

PROGRESS show was a ton of fun, not the best card they've put on in terms of match quality, but a real good time nonetheless. Got to see Samoa Joe (hardest hitting lariatooooo I've ever witnessed in person), Rampage got invited to the TNA British Boot Camp after the match which was a great showcase of both men, even if Joe isn't quite the guy he was a decade ago (but who is?). The tag title match was fucking crazy with an awesome finish, there was a great 3-way match between some of the PROGRESS students who all did well, got their gimmicks way over and really impressed the crowd, Mad Man Manson was hilarious with his open challenge match (answered by super-serious 'no-gimmicks needed' Michael Gilbert) and running commentary throughout. Plus, we got another good title match from the dastardly cunt Jimmy, despite ref bump shenanigans spoiling what would've been a huge moment for young Noam Dar.
Mark Andrews took a nasty bump in the tag title match, wobbling when he stood up for the top-rope SSP to the floor but thinking "fuck it" and doing the move anyway;
He hadbutted a chair and gashed his head open. Chant of the night was "PRESS R2" in response to Manson complaining he doesn't know how to do counters. Spot of the night was a crucifix bomb over the top-rope from Pastor William Eavers in the 3-way. Oh yeah, and in an attempt to out-do every other indie for 'most ridiculous/awesome name for a wrestling event', Chapter 15 will be entitled;
Very, very, very, breaky, breaky, breaky, bishi-bishiiii!!!!

At least he has the decency to keep his shirt on.

Never saw Jackie Brown. That movie is pretty good.
I wonder why it gets less play then Tarantino's other work because it seems like you cant go 1 week without seeing a replay of Pulp Fiction, reservoir dogs or Kill Bill on some random channel.
Oh and wrestling. Whats the plan post Summerslam. Bastista coming back that soon?
Oh and if Hero cant lose the extra pounds maybe he should get different ring gear that fit better and hide things.

He's just asking for it by dressing himself like that and trotting around the ring.

Punk is actually too good on these Nerdist Comic Con videos. Like they have these scrubs regurgitating the usual PR BS and then there's him. So it's like he's back in WWE again.

Jesus Meltzer, just tell us.
Court Bauer knows something too:
Probably stopped caring when he gets cut for being fat, but this is allowed on the main roster.

Anyone want to take bets on what the Network numbers are? What say you, stro and Dragonzord? It's not quite the death sport you two are used to, but in a way it could be like watching WWE die.
1. And it's Bean Breath because he can't figure out how to cancel.

can i get in?
they wanted 1 million, i'll say it's sub 600k. even less when the 6 months are up.
I don't understand. I don't watch death sports. I'd guess the Network is probably still in the 600-700k range.

There where at 600k or so after mania right?
I would say 650k now after a few months + the free week bring in new people.
I bet it gets lower then 400k after the first 6 month window though.

I'm guessing 685,000 Network subscriptions.
I considered being a teacher...
I'm starting to warm up to Owen's look. I've never loved Owen Hart. There, I said it. I've always thought he was solid, but no top guy. I think actually watching this feud with Bret has made me a believer. Dude's amazing.
Oh, and yeah, Bret's look is pretty good. He's never been one of my absolute favorites, either, but I've always been okay with him being a main eventer. There's a place for his character at the top.
Oh heck yeah. I hope you're right.
#1 seems likely. It was hinted at on a recent Observer Radio. Just keep in mind Meltzer also reports MMA so he could lump in something like the announcement of Ronda Rousey's next opponent as a major news story.

I went looking for a gif of Owen Hart celebrating after breaking his lock up with Bret but found this instead.
Miss you, Aksana.

If Bryan is returning at the Royal Rumble, WWE may as well give up on giving Reigns that main event at Wrestlemania because fans are going to probably do a repeat of this year. It probably wouldn't have happened if Bryan didn't end up injured and received a normal reign until August, but seeing how he went out, there is going to be a massive fan push behind him to headline again. So if they're really going to give Reigns the spot, they should keep Bryan away until after Wrestlemania. That's a backlash waiting to happen unless he ends up as one half of the main event against Reigns.
This is why Brotista needs to take that title and defend it at Wrestlemania against Bryan. Reigns can go over Cena in the undercard.

1. Cena goes to Hollywood
2. WWE cancels Smackdown, Superstars, and Main Event.
3. WWE downsizes roster and bolsters it with less expensive Mexican talent (La Parka, Konnan, Nieto del Santo, etc.)
