Alright guys, before you all tear apart Hulk Hogan, what match are you looking forward to most on tomorrow's show? For any reason, be it the train wreck potential, quality of the match, or whatever the case may be.
I'm probably most looking forward to Taker/Wyatt or Sting/HHH.

Either the IC title ladder match or Seth vs Orton. I think both of these have the potential to steal the show. There's hunger there and great potential in Rollins to make any match great. And the ladder matches are always fun with a lot of potential spots.

The ladder match absolutely intrigues me. It's a foregone conclusion as to who will win, but I love high flying ladder action.
I'm interested to see if Triple H and Sting can put on a good show, too.

Same here man, I fucking let out a groan when he came back to the WWE in 2002.

he was until the Warrior beat him. After that he's in my least top 5

I'm interested in the main event if only because it'll be intriguing to see the crowd reaction and how, if at all, it plays into their decision making. I still think Roman is going over clean as a sheet as the "conquering hero", but it is less of a certainty than it was a week ago.

Shhhh. Don't let Zord hear you or he will pretend it is 2010 and call you a hipster.

Honestly, I feel very "done" with ladder matches. They've been done in absolutely every configuration, and we've seen SO MANY over-the-top ladder spots over the years. To even get a reaction out of people anymore, you have to do dangerous shit like Ziggler and Harper were doing back in the fall - and that wasn't even that good of a match, because when the emphasis is on being "daring", rather than on the storytelling, there's no real drama between the characters.
Granted, I'm sure the IC Title ladder match will be enjoyable spectacle, as most MITB-type ladder matches are, but I just can't say I care all that much. I don't even really want anybody in particular to win, because even if the rumor that they want to make the IC and US Titles more important is true, I'm sure they'll still do that shitty even-steven booking that requires the champ to lose on a regular basis, which is moronic.

You're only a hipster if the opinion you have is disingenuous. I've NEVER liked him, and never will. I recognize his importance in wrasslin', but I don't dig his character at all.

The P.T.A. take a break from their golf game to attack Windham.
Breaking someone's arm while in polos and Hawaiian shirts. That's the dream.
Looks like Arn learned his lesson from his failed attack on Erik Watts and brought backup.

He is best friends with Brian Knobbs and posted a video of himself taking a shit.
Top 5 material for sure.

Never fuck with a guy wearing Zubaz
I have a hard time believing NJPW is going to be able to top AJPW for me this week with filler tag team matches - the show.
No one's top 5 should involve any pro wrestler if we account for their real life.

Excellent - while I've got NJPW World on my Fire TV Stick, I should retry it on the OUYA since I've got the Play Store on that now.

I figured he'd hit it tomorrow anyways, but him hitting it at the NXT show makes it almost a guarantee.
It's smart to have him hit it tomorrow if front of a crowd that will cheer it. If we go anywhere else though Punk chants will happen.

They have to. They aren't allowed to say or use "WWF" in any new material. They agreed with World Wildlife Fund to allow them to use it unedited in old footage, but they can't say it or promote it now.
I was listening to this wrestling podcast awhile ago that began with an interview with Dave Meltzer and he honestly believes (and his theory makes sense on this) that Rock and Wrestling truly got over because of...wrestling hipsters watching MTV. Their NYC grandmothers liked it back in the day and now its hip to be square. Fascinating stuff.
