So today I found out something that shattered kayfabe for me. I didn't think it was possible in 2016, but here we are...

It appears Senor Benjamin is Reby Sky's father.

Edit: It appears I walked into the middle of a shit storm. Welp.

Going back to Brock Lesnar

y'know, I wasn't...well, wait...am still not sold on a Orton and Brock matchup but I just cannot buy anyone else going up against Brock. The dude is soo fast as we just saw against Hunt and those GIFs with Strowman. I toyed with the idea of KO against him but there's just no way to buy into a match where Brock is both faster and stronger than KO.

Ditto with Rusev. Brock towers over Rusev, can seemingly out manuever him and probably toss him like a doll.

I dunno what they do with Brock going forward. I also think unless they want him to be the face of the company, there's no way they get him involved with the championship belt anytime soon.

Brock seems like he only wants to be part-time working with the WWE over the course of the contract so putting the belt on him wouldn't work.

I just realized there's also chance for a spot to happen with Brock kicking out from the punt since they tended to have that be some sort of serious 'one shot knock-out' move and if they already did a spot like this before I've forgotten it.

I completely forget the context of that AJ - Kane storyline. Was it connected to the Bryan / Kane stuff somehow?

I believe so yes. Bryan/Kane/Cm Punk love triangle.

Once Punk left on bad terms anything fun about the AJ character was pretty much nuked. She didn't care about WWE, they didn't care about her. Etc.

Naw, Why would her father also be her landscaper? It doesn't make any sense.

I remember Bryann, Punk and AJ but I dont remember Kane there at all other then that time AJ jumped on him and that time AJ wore his mask. But I guess thats just Kane for ya. Always there and never doing anything important.

That was a weird time

This was kind of the 'AJ romances everyone in the locker room while being batshit crazy' story she had for a bit. Pretty sure she was messing around with Punk, Bryan and Kane during this time. It was a fun enough story, especially when she messed with Kane by coming out during a match dressed as him. She macked on Cena too at a later point and of course had the Ziggler thing.

This is actually hilarious if acknowledged in Kayfabe because it means Broken Matt Hardy forces his father in law to be his gardener.

Cesaro
Samoa Joe
Cena (Already done to death)
Orton should work. He's 6'5" and a fantastic main event style wrestler when motivated.
Nakamura (Already done but nobody remembers that match)

KO could work but I think it has a greater chance of not working.

They have guys bigger or faster than Brock but not both.

G1 pick'ems contest. Get in here!

I think I may have ended up playing myself with my picks. Everything was chosen then I looked back and thought "New Japan always puts Wrestler X over Wrestler Y that's too obvious" and "Wrestler Z has doesn't have enough points, who else can he beat". In the end I'm picking Naito over Marufuji in the final. Marufuji always gets booked strong in his New Japan appearances and it's been a while since there was an outsider in the final.

However I also considered Okada Vs Naito in the final with Naito winning. Why? Because it's been ages since the IWGP Champion was in a final and Naito beating Okada continues their feud over the belt. Problem with that is the G1 usually creates future challengers when they beat the champ during the group stage. Okada going to the final could remove a lot of those potential title matches because he would lose so few matches along the way. So I ditched that idea.

Anyone think tenzan is going to the G1 finals?

No but he's definitely beating a main eventer. I have him beating Okada in fact. Warning: if that happens then prepare for Tenzan to get a title shot later this year.

A match where KO is able to fight smart and defeat Brock thanks to a well executed plan would be Christmas to me.

True story, as much as I played hours and hours of fighting games at the arcade, I never heard of EVO til I joined Gaf. I would loved to enter at the time SF2, Mortal Kombat 3 & OG KI was around.

When my friend talks to me about SFV, I never know wtf he's talking about. The terminology, the jokes.

Totally other level than me. He loves all that. Goes to the EVO shows, etc.
