I'm still amazed that they handled that as well as they did, well up until Edge at least.
It's like there was a once a year allowance to have a strongly booked Monster Heel that won the WHC, Kane in 2010, Henry in 2011 and Show in 2012.
Of course all three succumbed to the usual shortly after the title wins but oh well, I'll take what I can get.

As much as I like the idea of new stars being created when I look at the ladder match lineup I just don't see anyone but Cena working for the time being, almost everyone else needs something to give them actual momentum (we don't want another Swags or Ziggles) and the only one who has right now is the most green of the bunch in Roman Reigns.
And then there's ADR who just isn't ever going to work, seriously if they put the belt on that heatless bore yet again I'd be heavily tempted to go on a hiatus.

We all know The Brothers Dust will put on better matches than the Bucks, but you will give it to the Young Bucks. Because you are a Young Bucks mark.

And what are you a mark for, Dragonzord? The past? Because that's the only shit I ever see you post positively about. Actually, scratch that - what you said about Cody & Goldust right there was pretty positive. I'm actually shocked. Well done.

I guess you just purposely ignore my posts putting over The Wyatts and Brock. Hell, or even Swagger, Ambrose, and Rollins. 3MB as well. Rusev. I could make a list if you'd like. Junior Hayato, Kenou, Marufuji, KENTA, Yano, Shibata, Sekimoto, Sugiura, Taiji, Ishii, Taichi,

Expected because the rematch with Lesnar will draw but the bitching will be amazing here. Plus who he faces at Battleground might lead to hijacking again.

Fuck them for that MitB winner if true. Totally expected, but annoying as fuck. This is their chance to make someone.

I am re-watching Punk/Bryan from Over the Limit. Title on the line. Heel Bryan. A pissed off Punk going on before Cena/People Power. Booker T on commentary. It's a slobberknocker, folks.

Caught up on Dominion. I like the idea of Bullet Club getting all the belts, but if that's what they were going for, then why have the Bucks drop their belts? Seems counter to what they were going for.

Whoever wins at MitB is getting sacrificed to Lesnar in a few months. I'd rather it be
Cena
getting beat by Lesnar than someone with future potential.

Yeah, that was a bit puzzling - the only thing I can think of is that reDRagon will debut as Bullet Club members and feud with Time Splitters for the belt, perhaps becoming both IWGP Jr. and ROH tag champions as part of New Japan's cross-promotion deal with ROH.

Starrcade '92 probably doesn't deserve that grade. It probably deserves a C. But man... Muta... love him.

Anyway! 1992 is in the books! Overall I doubt there will be a better year of wrasslin'. I dunno, maybe 1997 or something? I really enjoyed the nWo storyline as a kid. Regardless, it's funny that arguably the best year (in the PPV era, I guess) is the one (and only?) Ric Flair-less year for WCW.

On to 1993 and the first ever RAW!

I'm so happy YASSHI is back. Rolling his R's like no one else can.

TARU looks terrible though. Course, he should be happy he's not in jail so whatever

I'm not one for wrestling shirts typically, but when OneHourTees starts selling NJPW stuff next week, I'm damn sure buying one of those Bullet Club shirts.

I remember everyone joking that Reigns would get to keep the cool gear and theme whilst Rollins & Ambrose would get shafted with jobber gear when they eventually split up.

Kinda sad.

I think Deans gear fits him, Rollins on the other hand, his gear is garbage. Dean can pull off the tank top with jeans, rollins cannot pull off whatever the fuck he was wearing on smack down.

Any reason in particular for hating foreigners on NJPW? Without context, it sounds like a very weeaboo thing to do.

Edit: Dean's new wrestling gear is either a homage to Cody (from Street Fighter) or Zandig. And by wrestling gear, yeah, I mean dressing like he probably does everyday.

WCW has a couple of good shows in 1993, but WWF is dogshit outside of KOTR. I DO NOT suggest watching all of Raws. You will turn into a surely dick headed alcoholic who hates himself more than he hates everyone else. It's pretty consistent.




Also, Cena is not good for ratings. He is good for ticket sales. But not ratings. There has been a documented loss of viewers for Cena segments over the past 2-3 years.

It's funny that Bryan was coming off the 18 seconds Sheamus feud and went upward to the WWE title. Punk is putting him over huge too in this match. It's a shame that a) the feud devolved into AJ stuff and b) we won't get a proper rivalry from these two.

The usual argument I see is people saying they don't pay for New Japan to see guys they can see on the indies. New Japan have always relied heavily on gaijins, but whether you like the current crop or not is a different matter, I guess.

Worrying about nationality of talent seems silly. As long as the matches are good and the talent is there, and both are present in NJPW at the moment, it doesn't really matter where the actual wrestlers are from. We are watching for the wrestling after all, are we not?

Btw, Cena has almost devolved into an instant fast forward guy for me on Raw. I just sigh and roll my eyes.

"But that's what's so great about you fans! You have your favourites, and you have those you don't like. But that's okay. Because I just love the noise."

People paid for their tickets so he respects their right to express their opinion.

John Sina also respects your right to change the channel when he's on. You paid for a cable subscription same as everybody else.

I'm really glad that I have Cena's approval to not like him. Like I wouldn't allowed to dislike him if he didn't tell me it was ok.
