Yep. I think it's just perceived differently this year because Wrestlemania was really good and usually ER is the better show. It's very unlikely ER will be the better show this time.
The card overall is solid. Only big problem is Kane vs Daniel. Wish Bryan had someone better to fight.

The Extreme Rules gimmick should help, even though I agree. I'm thinking Orton is lined up for Payback, but we'll have to see.
I think you're going to be pleasantly surprised by the match.

Watanabe is a jobber
The Hooligans vs. Time Splitters vs. Young Bucks match at Global Wars should be something special.
Shit. Wish they'd been able to get Ibushi or Suzuki.
Still mega pumped for next Saturday.

He hasn't had many noteworthy matches, as of yet (don't know how he's been doing on his run), but check out his last match in New Japan before going on his learning excursion last October;

I think they see him as a good potential heavyweight and, from what I can tell, he's added a fair bit to his look and character since he's been away. I'm looking forward to seeing how he does against Elgin - it's safe to assume it'll be a pretty hard-hitting match-up, though.
International fans buying the G1 iPPVs have no bearing on whether or not the tournament is successful - it's their biggest tour of the year and will sell like crazy on domestic iPPV, as last year's did.

Yeah, that Dragon Gate iPPV should be awesome - all four title matches look excellent and I'm sure the cage match will provide the usual DG-style multi-man madness. Looking forward to it.

Goddamn Nakanishi was insane for that dropkick, amazing.
We're in the process of moving so it might not happen, but I'd love to see you beat the Bear down!

Free entry, just get there at 7, you could probably leave as early as 8 but you won't want to!

Well, he's a Young Lion, which means he loses all his matches, yes. He's also now on his "learning excursion", which means he'll be with ROH for the forseeable future.
I don't see much in him, but then again, I didn't see much in Okada either. We'll see.

Not seeing it. Paul Heyman is overrated trash. Ya'll brahs feel embarassed with wrestling shirts but thats how I feel everytime that brah is on my screen....

I didn't just call him a jobber because he loses 90% of his matches, I called him that because I don't think he is going to amount to much.
Sometimes I think the WWE-trained guys could benefit from learning excursions to Mexico or Japan.
Lol. I can picture him sitting in his car wearing this shirt
and repeatedly flicking his lighter, hoping what he saw was just a dream

A lot of guys unofficially do that, problem is usually WWE doesn't take them back and/or saddles them with a silly gimmick...see: Tomko, Bernard.
Excuse me! I'm the one that has been repeatedly saying that this feud is great because Kane will put Bryan over big time. Bryan is going to destroy Kane, no doubt about it.Lol. I can picture him sitting in his car wearing this shirt
and repeatedly flicking his lighter, hoping what he saw was just a dream
And I have never worn a wrestling shirt! I'm too good for that!
Boozer didn't hold the Bulls back. A stubborn coach, and a "superstar" who's worn more suits than uniforms during the season is what held them back!

some MMA fighters could use a guy like Heyman to develop their personas a bit more.
Have Bryan and Orton had a good non shenanigans fight?

Yes. Their Raw match in June of last year was easily ****+

Disappointed to see Sonnen exposing the business like this, not surprised to see that scum, Meltzer, is involved.

Do any Americans here use an online bank? I need to switch to a fee-free alternative. The only banks I know of are Ally and Simple, though Simple requires an invite. Any consensus here as to which is best?

Forget the iPPV, I wonder if they're going to sell out the Seibu Dome. Or at least come pretty close to it. Would love to see some of the bigger shows take place in these higher capacity stadiums.
WWE doesn't really acknowledge other companies so there's no chance of officially sending some of the NXT guys to say, AAA or ROH. I think they'd want them to wrestle their own style.
On another note, a friend hooked me up with some good Raw tickets in July. It'll be my first live WWE event so I'm pretty excited.
I'm also thinking about making the pilgrimage to Japan later in the year, since a couple of my friends are going to see a concert there. I'm going to see if I can score some tickets to an NJPW event while I'm there. Hopefully it'll be Wrestle Kingdom tickets but I don't think I can afford to stay a whole month in Japan. So I'll take what I can get.

Silva doesn't close his fist when he takes a swing and tucks his chin in when he takes the bump on the concrete floor. That's a work, brother.

Been with Ally for a few years now. No complaints, good interest rates. Smartphone check cashing is fine, and ATM reimbursement is nice.
Brazilian crowd isn't smartened up yet, and probably never will be. This program is pulling triple the ratings of RAW and it airs in the A.M.
