The crafting in Freedom Wars is fucked. Why would you hide stats for determining how good a weapon will be from players?
Last Friday's NJPW on AXS was another good episode; for all the jokes about ol' Fishface Naito, it's easy forget that they were building him up before squandering any momentum he has. As Meltzer's pointed out, there is a danger than NJPW's main event will get stale after years of variations of Okada, Tanahashi, and Nakamura. Styles helps a little, but they need new blood in the main event. And then there's the fucking state of your junior heavyweight division, New Japan.

Why would he be happy with that? This is how Bork negotiates. You appear, see the impact his presence makes, and you work on a deal. "Do you want this shit happening, Vince? No? Then MAKE ME A BIGGER OFFER. If not, it's obvious I can go make money somewhere else."

Always wondered where kenshiro replaced his shirts after flexing them off every episode.I have no idea why you would think this. Even Jagi, the little shitheel that he is, looks dope.

Even if he has no desire to go back to UFC at all this is just negotiation. Go watch an MMA fight - Dana White will comp you. Just the appearance of it being a possibility will raise the money you get paid. There's no downside to going to UFC for an event. It's just bargaining power. Nobody should be shocked he was there.

Reason for the Brock incident maybe?
Wasn't that before this?
If Vince lets Brock do WWE and UFC, then who else is going to get that deal? Hell I'd be cool with more WWE guys doing non WWE things. I don't see how it hurts business, but Vince doesn't think so.

Wonder what it was like for Shamrock when he was starting out with wwf?

I can't see someone getting that kind of deal. You open yourself up to a few issues.
1. Your MMA training camps will be SHITTY.
2. You hold a belt in WWE and lose in 10 seconds in MMA? Devalued title
3. Possible injury on both ends
There's no good reason to let someone do both. TNA/Bellator were LUCKY with Lashley.

I wonder if Vince gets to a level of this old man's body
That's the biggest gamble to me. I mean the reverse could happen too.
Everything is here.
Looks like the first 29 episodes are actually free to watch, which is cool. There's 291 in total. One month of funimation's subscription thing is $7.95. Pretty good deal considering all the stuff you're getting, including all of DBZ. I think it's on Hulu too?
You even have the choice of dub or (the superior) Japanese with english subtitles. Dub vs sub is basically, "King, did you just see that clothesline?" vs "LARIATOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
But for someone new to the series either version is fine.
I watched the entire Dragon Ball anime on Hulu, but I'm not sure how much of Z is on there.

WWE really needs to make that happen. They dropped the ball on it, hard, at Summerslam. Rousey is so huge right now.
It be good business. Not sure how you go about it though. Divas division not serious. It's all about Total Divas
which sure..is entertaining junk. But all the girls are lumped together unlike the men.
One Piece is definitely tops right now for me as well, it just keeps getting better and more fleshed out. The current arc has wrestling homages in Franky's "strong style", the characters Abdullah and Jeet (Abdullah the Butcher and Tiger Jeet Singh), and arguably the #1 heel in all of entertainment, the truly fearsome and despicable Donquixote Doflamingo. What's not to like? Other than the anime adaptation I mean.

Wow, Funimation owns the rights to show...a LOT of shit. Wow.
It's far faster to consume if you blow through the manga. True for any series, really.
It's the king of shonen.
they buy up anime licenses like vince buys wrasslin tape libraries, brother.

The correct way to watch DBZ is uncut Kai(dubbed) and then DBZ abridged.
aint nobody got time for OG DBZ, standards have changed.

Except they actually fucking DO SOMETHING with the rights they buy.
Fuck you, Vince! Stop hoarding all the territory wrestling! What, afraid your precious WWE Universe will figure out how good things USED to be?
best anime right now, easily. the wrestling references in the current arc are so great.

Bork completely no selling Vince's bullshit.
Punk quitting and kicking WWE's ass in court and might do the same thing again.
AJ shooting on Steph about women's pay
More wrestlers need to stand up to these carny ass punks.

You think Punk has a leg to stand on in court? I wouldn't bet on it.
Most wrestler aren't punk, Brock or aj.
Why the fuck would Vince McMahon be upset that his current WWE Champion would be appearing on another show?
If Punk can verify the independant doctor appointment that confirmed his staph infection then Dr Z-Pac is fucked.

i have no clue, I haven't been keeping up with that shit besides knowing that Z-Pak is suing him.

Not at all. Even there, he has to prove that his doctor, and WWE's doctors, were negligent in what they did. Diagnosing something (even if incorrectly diagnosed, that does not prove negligence assuming WWE's doctors did what was expected given the symptoms present) incorrectly isn't damning. It has to be considered negligence.
It would be Punks word vs Z-Paks word and the difference is that Punk could have evidence to corroborate his story.

I watched the DBZ live action movie a few months ago and... I LIKED IT!
The average guy on the roster would get buried so fucking hard for doing stuff like that. Unfortunately most can't really stand up for themselves.
Punk is being sued, isn't the burden of proof on the doc's shoulders?

Doesn't help doctor z PAK that hewent on tv and said Sami,zany had 5 concussions,but went to Abu Dabi anyway.
Also hard to prove damages when you still have a job,
This could get real ugly if it goes to court
