Looks like lots of places are not even booking rooms that far in advance yet. Either that or they are saving rooms for WWE travel packages. That first one you mentioned with 2 kings seems like the best one right now.

Just watch my first WWE show in like 6 or 7 years because of the Shield. They have some great mic work, in ring work, and a good gimmick. The WWE needs to do what it can to keep these guys together for the rest of the year at least. Establish them as a team like they did with DX. These 3 guys are future of the WWE. Ambrose can be a Stone Cold type if handled right. Rollins is what everyone wanted Jeff Hardy to be; a high flyer with technical skills and good mic work. Reigns looks really good working in the ring and even though he's green in regards o mic work, he brings intensity and the role he has right now is a perfect way to bring him a long. Hopefully Reigns mic work keeps improving for when they break this group up.
I watched some of his work prior to this shield thing and his mic work is better Randy Orton who is a main event guy right now. The Shield is great stuff even though they don't really have a story line. Once the WWE gives them a story line these guys will great. The problem is that you don't have strong groups like you had in the late 90's. And these guys aren't allowed to go wild. And they aren't allowed to wrestle to the best of their abilities either.

One of the best and most accurate wrestling related things that I've ever seen.
Though they've got Bo as NXT champ right now, so things are looking up!
I still agree that The Shield are great. In addition to them, Punk was/is great, Bryan is great, Cesaro is great, and NXT has tons of good talent too. WWE is (read: should) be in a great place.

It is not very hard to be better on the mic than Jeff Hardy. Khali is better on the mic than Jeff Hardy.

Yep. His gimmick worked incredibly well when done properly but the WWE had no interest in repeating that, they just hired him to get a few $$$ from merch and prove to the world that he wasn't as good as his fans thought he was. He should've stayed away, like Sting.
Anyway, I don't think it's been posted yet but... Bah gawd it's Stone Cold E.T.! Stone Cold E.T.!

From what I read, I can't believe that he had to cheat to beat Langston. Even when he tried to cheat, fate conspired against him and he couldn't get the turnbuckle off. Therefore he beat Big E Langston clean.
He's the real deal, Sandman.

Just got back from an NXT show and figured I'd do a write up for it:
WWE NXT Live Event - Cocoa Armory, Cocoa Florida May 25, 2013
- Number One Contenders Battle Royal
Participants: Mojo Rawley, Colin Cassady, Knuckles Madsen, Dante Dash, Baron Corbin, Jake Carter, Jason Jordan, Malik Omari, Sami Zayn, Alexender Rusev, Xaiver Woods, Rick Victor
Eliminations:
* Cassady by the majority of the others tossing him over together.
* Omari by Victor.
* Corbin by Victor.
* Victor by Mojo after Jordan, Zayn and Woods ping-pong punched him around leaving him open for a clothesline elimination.
* Dash, Jordan, Zayn and Woods by Rusev.
* Madsen and Carter by Mojo stopping their elimnation attempt on him and back dropping both over the top rope.
* Rawley by Rusev immediately after.
Rusev cut a promo in Bulgarian following the match.
- Mason Ryan vs Leo Kruger
Kruger won with a roll up after Ryan missed a splash in the corner.
This was a a fairly long match. The first 10 minutes were pure comedy, to the point where Ryan tried to get the ref to fight Kruger for constantly disrespecting his authority. Ryan showed a lot of charisma here as a baby face interacting with the fans.
- Corey Graves vs Luke Harper
Graves won with the 13th Step.
- Sasha Banks, Kendall Skye and Paige vs Emma, Bayley and Charlotte
Sasha Banks got the win for her team with a straight-jacket neckbreaker on Charlotte.
- Mickie Keegan and Aiden English vs Scott Dawson and Garrett Dylan w/ Sylvester LeFort
Dawson and Dylan won with their double team finisher on Keegan.
Dawson and Dylan are really starting to grow on me as an old school, Southern Heel tag team.
NXT Championship Match
- Bo Dallas vs Alexander Rusev
Dallas won with a spear.
One other thing I found interesting: Ohno was one of the many wrestlers working security. This itself isn't anything unusual, but for most of the night he was at a table with Steve Keirn, and another person who I couldn't make out, watching, and seemingly discussing, all of the matches.

Yeah, overall it was pretty fun. My friend got to meet Paige and get her to sign this sign he made for her earlier in the week:

I also got to meet and talk with Hero for a bit.
Oh and Bayley's new gimmick is so weird. She acts all innocently happy go lucky. She comes out awkwardly smiling.

Before the match her team did a group huddle, so she then went to try and do one with the other team as well, but was stopped by Emma and Charlotte. Also during the match I likened her interactions with her team to the little sister who is giddy to be hanging out with her big sister and her friends and keeps trying to impress them.

minor correction: Goldberg was WCW's answer to Kem Shamrock, not Austin.

I looked at all of UFC tonight. It was compelling and engaging, and some guy, like, shit blood or something.
I am now downloading DOTA
Also, want to rewatch Contact.
