Good write-up, Nocturn. That pretty much sums up what everyone said on here last year. A decent finisher/near fall-fest with some okay spots and a shitty ending that only ended up seeming better than it was because of how crappy the rest of the card was (even Rock was shit that night) and the ridiculous overhype on Raw afterwards.

Looking at CM Punk's twitter... Has he been looking round the basement of Titan Towers?
Can't believe they have so many old props and fixtures.
I'm sure that Thunder logo could get some use. Rename Superstars!

That's so fucking cool. I'm assuming Vince hates everything WCW related so he won't use that stuff

I don't know if CHIKARA DVDs are actually stocked in any retail shops, you'll probably have to order online via www.smartmarkvideo.com - however, if you're looking for a good introduction to CHIKARA any of the annual Trios Tournament shows, Anniversario shows or CHIKARASaurus Rex shows are probably the best starting point for someone who wants to try out the product. Either that, or the Season 11 premier 'The Thirteenth Hat' from January.

Rummaging through the basement of Titan Towers would be amazing.

With those two gone I wouldn't even have any supernatural segments left to try and defend, oh the humanity!
This reminds me, as solid as the spinebuster through the table spot was I have to wonder just what Undertaker was supposed to be doing, a running tackle through the table? I can only imagine that various wrestlers contracts were at risk unless they recorded footage of them saying how great the match was.

My patience has run out. I don't plan on watching WWE after WM. I'm sick and tired of their bad booking of talented wrestlers.
My biggest gripe is how many times WWE has hit the "reset button" this year.
Punk steals the title from WWE! Best angel ever! RESET. Punk returns in two weeks.
Punk starts feuding with Cena, and it's pretty damn good. RESET HHH and Punk are feuding. Cena feuds with Mr. Mexican Millionaire.
Punk starts a Mr. McMahon like feud with Johnny. Mr. Excitement comes clean and admits he will screw Punk out of the title. RESET! HHH threatens to fire Johhny and he calls the match clean. End of feud.
After months of build up, Cena and Eve have become accidental heels while Zack is taking the brunt of the punishment. RESET! Cena over comes the odds, and the next week Eve says she was using Zack and Cena.
WM prediction, RESET style: Miz helps Rock or Cena win the match. Rock or Cena turn heel and form an alliance with Miz. Next night on Raw (RESET!) Rock or Cena betray Miz and all is well in WWE Universe.

Hope you do. Chikara is a lot of fun and are doing something different than everyone else. More people on WrassleGAF should check them out.
Right o
And Tori did look good during that time.
I can't wait, I'll probably get a chance to watch them after i'm done making storylines for tomorrow's show.
I already know I'm going to be a big fucking Chikara mark.
Yes, she did.
EDIT: Wow, I can't find a single working pic of Tori and Kane together on Google, lol.

Kane felt as if he was in fortune city when he got Tori to go out with him, see it makes sense.
I'd really like to check this out, but due to past experiences I'm skeptical. I bought a New Jack shoot dvd a few years ago(I don't remember the name, and I'm at work so can't check my dvds), and it was pretty awful. There were a lot of comedy segments that just came off forced and unfunny. I think the few minutes shown in the clip posted earlier was better than the whole dvd I bought, haha.
Hey, that works! Let's roll with that. Thanks Owl!
I'm jealous that you live close enough to even have it be an option. I'd love to go to a PWG show, but living in Ohio makes it difficult at the moment.
She was so happy after xpac kidnapped her for the "Weekend of hell"
I was younger I was wondering why Kane didn't figure it out sooner.
That reminds me, when the hell are they going to have Old School Raw again?
chicks dig that leaning to the left dick
Is that right? I should ask you for advice from now on Lunchy boy.

Is it confirmed that The Rock's going to be at Summerslam? I remember reading that he'll be at the big PPVs after Wrestlemania.

I act like continuity is important to me.
awesome.
Also, first thing I see is Hogan and Rock looking confused. I love it.
YOURE DOING IT WRONG JAE.
You're just supposed to buy everything that happens every week. Don't try to remember stuff!

but in 10 years old school Raw will be like present Raw, that's not an old school Raw I want to experience.
Every segment will have it's own special guest!
Probably won't be confirmed until somebody starts calling him out during the summer, but with Summerslam being in LA again this year I kind of expect him to be there.
If Cena turns at Mania (looking doubtful now IMO but lets roll with it), since Rock is doing Raw the next night and then disappearing for a few months to film two more movies, it wouldn't shock me at all to see him come out on Raw and lay the groundwork for the rematch at Summerslam. Obviously they've booked it well in advance before, wouldn't be surprised if they did it again.
That would give Summerslam a HUGE main event already and if WWE wanted to, they could go through the summer again with Punk vs. Cena for the WWE Championship but this time it's face Punk vs. Heel Cena so it's fresh. From there, you'd expect Cena to go into Summerslam with the championship so it's Rock vs. Cena for the title, but with more of a face/heel divide this time around as well.
If he does, he better damn well feud with someone who will turn heel or is already a heel. I don't need another Cena/Rock in my life. No one does.

The hell you talkin bout, dawg? Rock/Cena IS the main event picture. They get multiple segments/recaps on Raw, they've ended Raw for weeks now, and will be the main event at WM. If you're implying the WWE Title is still the "main event picture," even Taker/HHH is in front of that. Punk/Jericho is 3rd "most important" on the card. The main event picture is wherever John Cena happens to be.
I meant title picture. Sorry.
So, despite Cena/Rock coming on after both championship matches, good thing that he's not having a match for the belt?
Think he'll be back in the championship race after Mania?
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
How do you think they will work him back into the championship race?
If Cena does have a heel turn at Mania, would that make a difference to any of you as far as him going for the belt?

The WWE title is the mid-card belt on Raw.
I expect them to curtain jerk Mania.

Well.........I guess?.............The WWE doesn't really mean anything unless it's treated how it should be though, so it really doesn't make a difference if Cena there or not. I just look at it as "Thank God it's Punk/Jericho instead of Punk/Jericho/Cena."

Of course he will.
