Punk would need to reform the SES for that.
I dunno why people are complaining about the Punk/Jericho announcement. Sure he could have had a surprise return, but I think this will be good too. It's something different, and there most likely will be more to the story. I for one am excited to see what he'll do upon returning.
I thought Raw was really good last night, I really like the direction the company is going. I loved Dean/Kofi and Shield/Hell No last night, both were amazing matches (D Bry was on fire) and The Shield, who I thought stagnated from January-April are finally amazing again with titles giving them a new purpose, and having even better matches now than they were then.
Also now that Bray Wyatt had a promo video, the roster is going to get some more great talent probably within the month. Im also digging the Ryback/Cena feud though I know some people probably aren't. It reminds me of the Cena/Batista stuff, and it's slightly refreshing to see a character like Ryback (who btw is getting great at the heel stuff and really has some swagger now.) It's been forever since we've had a guy like him, and I think the Cena feud is establishing him well. I like Ryback a ton better as a heel.
I think WWE is heading towards a very good place now. I think by the end of the year, thngs will be very solid. This should be a great summerslam too.
(Edit: But Michael McGuillicutty still sucks)

Speaking of Milano Collection AT and Taichi
Milano Collection AT vs Taichi Ishikari Always loved Milano's ring gear with the flags on his knee pads. But this is super old Taichi and Milano
Taichi finally got some charisma from Milano from them teaming up. He used to be super generic 'young lion'

Everyone who doesn't like Brodie Lee should watch the cage match he had against Claudio Castagnoli in CHIKARA. Seriously, it might just be my favourite CHIKARA match ever.
Also, sorry tm, I can't find the show with Milano's retirement anywhere online - must've been deleted. I've got it on disc, somewhere, if I find it I'll let you know.

Cool, thanks Bootaaay!
I think Rowan is pretty good at the role he's in. There's really no one else i buy on the NXT roster for working with Wyatt. Also, Wyatt is a real underrated wrestling name. Why it was never used by an indy guy is beyond me
His big boot is better, don't know why WWE has him doing the lariat instead. Maybe his boot was too good and it put Sheamus to shame.

Yeah, Brodie's big boot > Sheamouse's bro kick.

If he truly wants to be a heel, he could not show up at Payback at all despite Jericho and Heyman's request, and be booed mercifully. Be the heel. If they played this out with him returning and facing Jericho, he would still be the face despite having the heel label. It could be a nice change and would prolong his return, which is absolutely fine. Jericho could be facing somebody like Ambrose, Ziggler, or Axel in the meantime.
Also suspect Orton turns at the PPV on Sheamus and they have a match at SummerSlam. One face scratched off. I wouldn't hate a Punk return as a face, but it would need to be much different than his last run. Bryan should be also, but they seem to be headed as a heel.
I wish I felt about gaming the way I do about WWE. Everyone on gaming side hates it, but I keep looking at stuff going 'oh I wanna play that. Oh new Tales I wanna play that. Oh new Ys I wanna play that. Oh new SMT I wanna play that. Oh new GTA I wanna play that.' and on and on.
I don't want to end up buying a Vita and just playing Ys on it

I am all set for an awesome weekend of wrasslin.
Evolve 20 is taped Live to VOD and should show up on WWNLive on Friday, so I'll be watching that Friday night.
Evolve 21 is Saturday night live. After that is done I will probably head out for a bit because my favorite bar is celebrating it's 1 year anniversary that same night.
Chikara's Aniversario: Never Compromise is live Sunday afternoon.
Evolve 22 is live Sunday night.....they've got balls going against a TNA PPV, but I think they'll be alright.

I really don't think those audiences overlap
But my thing with the handheld is that, if I can, I would prefer to play them on my tv/pc. It's not about it being a handheld, it's about games that I can't play elsewhere. Which I don't think the Vita seems to 'get' as much as the 3DS.
I would agree, except for Aries.....what is he up to for this PPV?

Did you see the $10 off offer to buy all three with the live + on demand versions.
Yep, only reason I got the on demand versions for Sat/Sun really. I would have got the regular showing for all 3 but $10 off makes the VOD free for Sat and Sun.
Four Team Elimination Tag Titles match.

I stopped watching when that Miz Fuck came on - and have not caught up since
I can mute John Cena, that is fine, but Miz's innate existence just enrages me
You guys remember a couple of years ago when WWE had that title tournament and part of the rules were that wrestlers had to win by pinfall or submission? There were no dq and no countouts, but the matches weren't hardcore matches. The wrestlers were actually forced to wrestle and get a decisive win. This made for some awesome matches.
I wish they could instate that rule full time.

It was for the Diva's title. That was when you chose to take a bathroom break, so it's obvious why you don't remember it.
I have no recollection of this either, so maybe Mr. Sandman can clue us in to the true belt.
He wasn't that bad. Actually showed some character and without talking, so it was surprisingly tolerable. He's still a petulant dick, but since that's what he's going for, he succeeded.
I expect this sliver of goodwill to be completely undone the next time he so much as looks at a microphone.
It was when WWE had vacated the WWE Championship for whatever reason, and they had a one night tournament on Raw to decide a new champ. The finals were Miz vs Rey Mysterio the next week on Raw and Mysterio won. They did Cena vs Mysterio that same night for the belt and Cena became champ again, thus undoing any good they had done in that two week period.
I think it was back in July 2011.

I remember now - when Punk quit (for two weeks). I do not remember the matches being that special though, I just remember them handling the quitting storyline in a terrible way.
I just remember that part of the tournament was that the matches had to be won by pinfall or submission, which was the same way you had to win a championship in WWE. It created some good matches because they couldn't rely on DQ or countout finishes. I especially liked the Miz vs Mysterio final. In fact, it's the last time I've liked anything either of those two have done.

I remember Rey slogging through a tournament to a hard earned title victory, celebrating joyfully backstage like the title meant something to him and then being made to defend against Cena in the same night that he won the title because HHH having his mind warped by Cena logic.
Then of course he lost and Cena celebrates ruining Rey's day, probably more than the actual title victory which in itself was a rather dubious victory since he was beating on an already weakened opponent.
Then this was followed a few weeks later by Cena being angry at Del Rio for cashing in on Punk because it totally wasn't fair game (Somewhere Rey is weeping) and basically inserted himself back into the WWE title hunt once more through business that did not strictly concern him, meanwhile Punk, the man who should actually have been seeking revenge on ADR was instead dragged off into unwanted HHH/Nash territory and at that point it was clear that the power of June for 2011 had officially faded.
HOW THE HELL DID THEY SCREW THAT UP SO BADLY?! AHHHH!

Also, Cena made this loud and angry proclamation to Del Rio, including the line "Someday you'll have to defend that title", having cut this promo on Del Rio moments after Del Rio defended his title by defeating Rey Mysterio clean.

What was the power of June in June 2012?
The Power of June skipped a year in 2012.
whoa. c'mon. that was a clash of gods. Like Super Piccolo vs Goku. you cant just state that in a minor sentence like is nothing.
I'm kind of lost at how Corey Graves turned face on NXT. He was a clear heel one week, the shithead kind that went out of his way to injury people, and then he challenged Shield and is now a face having a match with Bray Wyatt. Now it feels like they're building him up to be the next anti-hero face champion. Also, Bray's cross body is great.

It was more like Goku vs. Chaotsu.
I don't know if you're trolling or not. It was one of those circumstances with Cena where you knew what would happen the minute they set it up.....and you hated WWE for doing it even if you saw it a mile away.

That entire period was like a selection of insufferable Cena moments, hell even when he lost to Punk at MITB it was because of him being too noble and heroic to allow any sort of interference possibly on his behalf.
Then he lost to Punk again but his foot was on the rope all along!
Professor Beef desperately tried to convince us that TNA stole the power for itself but I can't remember it being wielded for anything memorable in particular.
I choose to agree with Sandman, it skipped a year....as to build up its power to be twice as strong this year so we can avoid the traditional power slaying Summerslam moments like Cena beating Nexus alone and Kevin Nash in 2011?!
