SF gifs never let me down.
It's sad that way that Rollins has been wrestling of late. The way his title run has gone is such a broken way to present Rollins the wrestler. Rollins is legit one of the top 3 athletic wrestlers in the company and since he got the title he's been kicking, running out of the ring, and missing with flying knees (except tonight, natch). It's so off-putting to see someone so talented reduced to such a shit moveset, only to watch him break out chain suplexes and 540s ATTANOWHERE when he used to do that type of thing on the regular.
So you take one of the best wrestlers and give him a cowardly heel character who is supposed to be a laughing stock because he's incompetent in the ring and can never do anything by himself, except in real life (and 10 months ago) he could wrestle circles around everyone but Cesaro.
It's like when they removed his curb stomp they lobotomized the part of his brain that could wrestle. Except it flashes to light in fits and starts where he'll perfectly land on his feet out of a finisher and pull some deft move, then it's back to ring rollouts and punches and chops.

it was what we in the business call a "shoot"

Interesting article that takes a look at how developers tried to get real pro wrestlers into their video games by changing their names and likeness just enough to not get sued, including the Japanese roster on N64 games like Virtual Pro Wrestling, WCW/NWO: World Tour, and Revenge.
I didn't know who any of these guys were as a kid and too be honest, I still don't really know any Japanese wrestlers other than Shinsky, Okader, and Tanahashi.
Also, he talks about who AKI Man is actually based on and potentially underneath that mask.

Cena always wins. Always. Allllllllways. Cena wins. It's the most predictable thing. The only times Cena loses--This is perhaps 1 or 2 matches in an entire year--Is to set up a longer storyline where Cena would win against the same person multiple times and look even stronger at the end (and OVERCOME THE ODDS that time, naturally). The man he beats it's instantly demoted to gimmick status and is quickly forgotten. Being put in a feud with Cena is the kiss of death to one's career.
Saying you hate Cena is like saying you hate Nickelback (and I'm sure I'm stealing this from somewhere). They're not truly horrible from an objective perspective and there are things that are far more offending, but they symbolize everything that's wrong with their industry and there's a gigantic corporate structure built up to support them. There are endless millions of dollars at work reminding you that you absolutely must love this thing and that you're strange if you ever question it.
We hate the idea of Cena. The character. The attitude. The lame merchandizing. Not the actual performer that is Cena. He's been awesome this year! His current story gimmick has let him wrestle a lot of other popular guys that would otherwise never get the showcase time. We are very thankful for this. The reason we're horrified at the idea of Cena having a main championship match is because the awesome thing we have with him right now would instantly end. Seeing his face get busted up is neat because it makes him look like a mortal person. Since his character is written as immortal these moments are few and far between.
I just saw a kid complain about Hogan getting the Benoit-treatment on the Dutch WWE page. He can't be more than 11 or 12 years old.
When I was that age I was still emulating Jushin Liger's moves by jumping from my desk onto my bed.
The internet has ruined this generation, friends.

If your 12 or 13 why are you fan of Hulk Hogan that's the real question

Really looking forward to Paige on the Stone Cold podcast. They don't all have to be huge, and she'll have good stories.
EDIT: Also, you know, 10 year vet.

Jesus fucking Christ Cody Hall is the tallest motherfucker I've ever seen in the ring.
I believe the one at the top is how Davey spot is supposed to go, but in the Edwards match they threw the curveball with the counter. Either way both the one at the top, and the one at the bottom are stupid. Superplex spots are supposed to do damage to both the person taking it, and the person executing it.

There was a G1 last night??
Jesus it's getting hard to keep up

That's because it's been boring as fuck so far. It's not going to get turnt up for another week.
Caught a few minutes last night, and it felt like the scramble between Lana and Summer Rae was getting a far bigger reaction than any point of the match with Paige-Sasha. Call it what you want, but it was dull and uneventful. It got plenty of time. At least it shows they're willingly giving them a chance

What's a brother gonna do, he's Samoan. He cultivates far more mass than those indie crossfitters though. More plates, more dates, friend.

Why does a married man need "more dates" friend?
I really do wish New Day could have kept their original gimmick idea H.A.W - Handsome and Wealthy.

Hogan thread reminding me of the Mark Henry retirement swerve.
Lets relive that greatness.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxm5c2XBcXo
A true classic, perfectly executed swerve. (especially after the week of Henry retirement rumours prior to it)

Super Cena aside what a great Raw episode. Cool matches and nice segments. Pretty good episode I think. The only segment that left me cold was probably Wyatt, I just can't listen to him anymore.
Also, New Day are a treasure right now. Big E dancing and Kofi's fake evil smile were just perfect. I'm glad they turned heel and are now doing the best with the crappy gimmick they were given. Just gold every week.
