Dino doesn't know how to handle intergender matches: http://i.imgur.com/vlNHxiJ.gif?noredirect
The booking of his matches against Okada and Ishii leads you to believe he ain't shit without the one winged angel. Now if he keeps faltering then busts out a new finisher and goes on a tear, that's something I can get behind.

I really love the 1-2-3 Punch of my current wrestling viewing: WWE-NJPW-ECCW
WWE gives me the soap opera drama.
NJPW the raw athleticism and work rate.
ECCW is my local indy fed so they give me the fun bi-weekly to monthly cheap live in person wrestling (and they sometimes bring in some big indie stars too like Kyle O'Reilly and lesser global indie guys like Darby Allin). Also sometimes you get glimpses of the future (Becky and Emma both wrestled for ECCW like a decade ago)
All in all those 3 plus the LAW various podcasts and radio shows pretty much fill me up nicely.

They also don't need to go right back to Omega with Suzuki still hanging around and with Ishii hot. They can easily heat Omega back up in time for the US tour.
Of course, we said the same thing about Naito before they decided to use him to hold up the IC title so they could use him to headline those split shows. And you can guess that was the right business call.

See Data? We were right
Everybody loved the steroid taking homophobic asshole until he squashed their fav indy wrestlers. Somehow it always comes back to favs and indiers

Yo pikma, that report.
Like whoa!!
Like whoa!!
Owens absolutely should have gotten some offense in on Goldberg. Even what he got against Lesnar today at MSG would have been enough to make it clear he was a serious contender.
For like a week there after the turn on Jericho, Owens actually seemed threatening and he was getting strong boos. His demeanour had changed. Not just an asshole, but a confident one, too, who really didn't give a shit about Jericho.
They really, really should have let Owens get a few hits in. It doesn't diminish the Lesnar/Goldberg match, because it just says that Lesnar got taken by surprise, Owens was expecting it, and Owens managed to hold Goldberg off for longer than Lesnar due to that - making the exact dynamic of who is better up for debate. The nothing distraction of Jericho at the ramp just made Owens look stupid/scared of Jericho.
It's all the little things they do wrong like this that stop them from really getting anywhere with these new guys.

It's a tall order for Hornswaggle vs. Khali to be as good as WeeLC.

Hornswoggle took a lot of abuse over the years.

Really ? I didn't see any post i saw a news somewhere. That makes me happy that he could actually put Lesnar on the ground.
It's a shame it was that quick.

I thought he was banned?
Lapsed fan covered this.
Apparently there was a mindset backstage that the move was too important and that it shouldn't be retired and associated with Benoit.

I'm blown away. Not even out of 2007 and it's being used. Wild.
I can't turn my back on the Zachamaniacs, dude.

I don't think they ever called it the "crippler" crossface, at least.

While Lesnar was taking off his shirt as the bell rang, KO got some good offense in, and then he did the job. Being there, it was fun, and KO didn't look weak at all.
I'll post some photos tomorrow.

I am the shadow, thy true self.
My favorite part of Apollo Crews before he got drafted to SD was Cole calling all his moves POWER!!! or WHAT POWER! or LOOK AT THE POWER!
