All their moves would come out of nowhere.

I can't imagine a way in which it would be physically possible to string together like 5 Diamond Cutters on the same opponent in rapid succession.

Think of John Cena being blindsided ninja-style in the ring. First Randy Orton hits him with an RKO 'outta nowhere'. Then Diamond Dallas Page does the Diamond Cutter. Karl Malone comes out and gives Cena another Diamond Cutter. Finally, John Laurinaitis, aka Johnny Ace, Big Johnny, Mr. Excitement, does the Ace Crusher on Cena.

 

[G-Fex]

On the positive side, Matt Morgan has ran out of dates on his contract so hopefully he's going to sit out a few months and we won't have to see him on tv.

Matt Morgan was in the E?

He should come back

I'd pay big money just to see Malone in the ring again.

Yup AND he's the blueprint!

Just got in from Evolve 13. It was an awesome show live. The Generico/ Callihan match was a lot of violent fun, as was the main event of Gargano and

.

Fox

kicked Gargano's tooth out midway through the match. Afterwards he called a young girl into the ring who wrote about him as her hero for school and the whole crowd chanted and cheered for her - very cool moment.

I'm exhausted but it was a great experience. I hope they come back soon, but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't - the crowd turnout wasn't great. Generico, Taylor, and Jigsaw are super friendly and talked a bit with us after the show.

I love what they are building towards with Low Ki, Generico, and Callihan for an Evolve title.

Money well spent - I hope you guys that watched on iPPV enjoyed it as much as we did live.

Yeah he f5'd the big show apparently http://youtu.be/2PU3cusdKeY I wasn't watching when the guy was there, but by watching this video he was really jacked back then. He should go back. Would rather see him in the main event than Albert.

 

[Evening Musuko]

Showdown in the Sun was blamed on GFL. They wont team up with WWN live since theyre in bed with Evolve and DGUSA. And i don't think there is anyone else.

Also, once again, Chikara>ROH. But you already knew that

Thanks for the info. And yes, Chikara>ROH. I wish they ran more iPPVs though. Everybody here better catch "How to Hatch a Dinosaur" on June 2nd!

That would seriously be one of the greatest moments in the history of our sport, especially if there's a great storyline that culminates to this very moment.

LOL

 

[BoboBrazil]

Then Cena gets up, hits aa, 1-2-3 cue theme music closing the show.

Wow that's great. I wish he did come back now.

No more tackling guys in auto insurance commercials.

Then Cole can call each one a separate thing: vintage Orton maneuver, modified bulldog, the envelope cutter.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Morgan could fit in well in E right now

 

[bean breath]

I wonder if John Laurinaitis is going to wrestle in a shirt?

I remember watching Vince McMahon wrestle without a shirt/sweatshirt for the first time with my friends, and when he came out, after the initial shock, everyone immediately said he had plastic surgery done, lol.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Hahaha Matt Morgan had a stuttering gimmick in WWE http://youtu.be/qWKY6oFQroE

Also he apparently tried out for Tough Enough season 2 http://youtu.be/GQHGKKmOUb8

 

[G-Fex]

wow..

You know it's sorta bad when you're taking gimmick tips from bubba dudley

 

[Keyser Soze]

Matt Morgan, Nathan Jones, and John Heidenreich. Good times.

 

[UberTag]

Yep, Matt Morgan was part of the historic "Cena turns face and never turns back" team along with Brock, Albert, Big Show and Nathan Jones.

LOL

I would be fine with this if everyone that Cena has ever screwed over for a push came out and ALSO happened to know how to do the Diamond Cutter (so Zack Ryder, Wade Barrett, etc.) and it all built up to the Ace Crusher. And then last but not least, Liz Cena comes out and she's able to deliver a convincing Diamond Crusher to John's broken body. That would be sweet.

Maybe we could get all 4 of the Cena brothers to come out and give Diamond Cutters to him, as well. And some Make-A-Wish kid John never got around to visiting because he was "too busy". Build him up as a deranged beast and have him give Cena the Diamond Cutter.

If this happened, I would never stop watching WWE for the rest of my natural life. Or maybe I would have to stop watching right there, because no moment in the future would ever be able to top it.

 

[Aiii]

Anyway, less Cena Murdering, more sexy heel AJ faces...

Why yes AJ, yes it was.

 

[British Monsoon]

Enjoyed EVOLVE 13 - glad I ordered it in the end, after how awful the ROH situation was. Generico vs Callihan was awesome, and I'm loving this build towards a first title for EVOLVE. Main event was great, too.

Still excited to watch Border Wars when the replay goes up, as it was said to be a great show live (and for the select few who could watch online), and if ROH want to give me Best in the World 2012 for free, that's fine by me - but that show better go off with zero technical hitches, otherwise I'm done with ROH.

Can't wait for CHIKARA's Chikarsaurus Rex: How to Hatch a Dinosaur on June 2nd, as I'm sure it will be as professionally produced and presented as their last iPPV was, putting ROH's efforts to shame.

JBL was fantastic, I was able to look past his ho-hum in ring skills because he was so damn good on the microphone, in that promo he actually made the WWE title seem important, I can't imagine someone on the roster doing that these days.

Dammit, didn't know this was taking place. I stay like an hour or so from Takamatsu and they usually have flyers in convenience store windows announcing local shows. Could've seen Liger in the flesh

Thanks for putting up the vids.

Top title makes it looks better than the classic, the classic looks like the one they hand out on Man Vs Food Nation.

Not a great picture, now that I look at it, let's get it in a clearer light

Well now at house shows people reported that John Cena appeared out of it, uninterested, tired and out of energy.

I wonder if he is going to take a break after Over the Limit because it seems like this divorce is getting to him already.

Hopefully he does and comes back as thuganomics Cena. Complete with a "Muck Farriage" t-shirt.

 

[BoboBrazil]

You can own an actual TNA title replica. http://shoptna.com/tna-heavyweight-championship-collectors-belt.aspx#reviews


This belt is so ugly to me though.

 

[FyreWulff]

The current one is just so.. gaudy.. and looks like a toy.

Also it's design made it really obvious when they had the two champions thing that Cena was using the house show belt.

Option C is the best

 

[British Monsoon]

Big Gold or the NWA World Heavyweight Title remain the best;

 

[Ithil]

Hell, I'd take any of them over the current one

 

[A Pretty Panda]

They should get rid of these silly "belts" and start using Championship Wrsitbands. Cener's ahead of the curve.

 

[Mr. Sam]

[jobber]

Belts are stupid. It's not like you wear it around your waist outside an event.

 

[spindashing]

Honestly? Let me be real for a second.

I think I would like this belt design so much more if instead of it saying "CHAMP" in the front, it said "Champion."

 

[NYR]

QFT!

Best belt ever.

 

[DMczaf]

When Rock returns for his WWE title, I hope to god he calls out how shitty it looks.

Along with becoming a corporate sell out, Punk lost a majority of my respect when he continued with Cena's shitty toy belt. Be a man, Punk.

Not even Cena wants the belt anymore, but he can't get it changed. Because it's WWE's #1 selling merch item.

I hate everything about it. The tacky "bling" style, the clunky shape, the "CHAMP" title, the oversized plate, everything.
