How can you tell which are which?
According to him, he has to every day. Shampoo, conditioner and coconut oil, apparently it takes ages.
Yet he doesn't set aside 20 seconds to comb it afterward? I'm not buying it, breh.

A few months ago, when I decided to halfheartedly check out modern wrasslin' for the first time in about 20 years, one of the videos I watched on youtube was something like "best WWE trash talking of 2013." When I saw Bryan for the first time, I remember thinking "What? Who is this guy? Why do they let him go on camera looking like that? He seems pretty funny." His look is very different from what I'd expected after randomly seeing douchy looking guys like The Miz and John Cena when flipping through the channels over the last decade. It caught my attention, and when I actually saw him in a match, I was hooked.
So yeah, I would. He has crossover potential.

I have to admit the pics of the WWE characters drawn in the anime style are pretty awesome. They're drawn 10 million times better than the WWF/WCW comics they used to have.

WWE.com's insistence that other wrestling companies like ROH and Chikara exist is weirding me out.

The problem with all of this "face of the company" talk is that it really doesn't matter-the face of the company is going to be John Cena.
That's what I thought was so dumb about that "face of the company" storyline with Orton and Bryan from last year. While Steph and H were debating about whether Orton should be that guy, it was Cena who was doing media appearances, doing the Network launch thing at CES, etc. I don't think it matters who's the champion, it's always going to be John Cena's face you see.
I mean, I get why they may not think Bryan "looks" like a champion, but "face of the company" appeal has got to be way down the list.
...and now I lurk back into the shadows, to post again in another six months or so.

It doesn't matter what someone looks like as long as they're bringing in the eyeballs.

Kevin Steen vs either Jay Briscoe or Adam Cole for the ROH World Heavyweight Title at Global Wars in Toronto, May 10th.
Should be a good match, but I bet a few were expecting a New Japan challenger.
*edit, oh, and Kane is apparently selling insurance now;

Does he cover for fire damage?
Would you rather have the New Japan stars face each other or face ROH opponents because some don't think ROH has the roster for dream matches? For example would you want Okada vs Hiroshi Tanahashi live in person or Jay lethal vs Okada?

I take back everything nice I've ever said about Michael Hayes. Gordy's still safe though right 
Hmm. Either match should be good but yeah, surprised no NJPW challenger. Wonder who would be going to Toronto now.

100%. Gordy is the bees knees.

tap that thorax
I get the sentiment, wanting to basically just watch a NJPW show live, but doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of a crossover?

I've discovered that I really have no idea why I like what I like. I've turned a corner on Prince Devitt, grown to appreciate Bob Backlund and Giant Haystacks (sorta) and now Michael Hayes is a piece of shit.
You'll have to pry Batista's dick from my cold dead hands though.

I knew about that second one, but holy shit at the first. He's lucky his wig wasn't split in 3 places.
Why didn't Striker ever apply any of that to his actual matches? Can anyone name a single memorable Striker match? It reminds me of all the various shoots Raven had done where he throws out professor level psychology and understanding of wrestling, but doesn't apply it at all to his own matches.
The story is that Hayes and MVP had been throwing the word around with each other jokingly earlier in the night. As is usually the case with Hayes, he was drunk and went up to Henry to continue the joke that Henry wasn't a part of. Henry went to Vince/Steph after and PS was suspended for 60 days. For whatever reason, he really thinks h can say slurs like that because he doesn't mean anything by it.

As much as I love Mark, there's been multiple reports from other black employees and stars that say he's told them to basically stay quiet and endure bullshit instead of call it out - that he is one of those "just grateful to be here, boss" types.
Hell I don't work there though. It's just reports. I love Mark Henry and Hayes should have been exploded from the inside out for that.
I watched his match from Mania 23 at lunch as I was taking detailed notes (New Breed vs ECW Originals) and he was fun in the ring but...I dunno. I've honestly seen very few Matt Striker matches period.
The purpose of this show for me is to see people that normally wrestle in a country I don't live in. I don't really care about ROH, and I honestly don't see that changing. So if Nakamura or Okada vs Tanahashi is on the card then that is great news for me.

Is there anything to the rumors that AMC wants to buy the WWE?
That would be crazy.
That would be crazy.

Won't happen. AMC can barely afford the shows they do have. Too small. Way too small.
I'd prefer the New Japan guys face the ROH roster, for the most part. I'd love to see Okada vs. Adam Cole for the New York show, or maybe Nakamura vs Ciampa. I have a feeling Tanahashi will face someone like AJ Styles. If the Time Splitters came over, I'd like to see them face ReDragon.
If we get New Japan guys facing each other, I'd like it to be Liger vs Ibushi or something like that.

Taking dead is shootin
The rumor I saw earlier said they expected the TV deal to be valued somewhere around $2.5 billion. Crazy money.
Punk won't be talking about wrestling. At best he will just say what he has said for years. "When I'm done I'm done."
No way AMC can afford that
