*McNei1y's music hits* and he walks into the ring planning to talk.
"SoulPlaya... I was handed the KOTR matchups earlier today and I was surprised to see that I face you in the first round. I mean, what kind of idiot would put me, GWF's Greatest Hero, in a match against the head of some puny alliance.... what is the name? Kane Kliq? Oh, whatever. It's laughable to see such a match scheduled. Bootaaay has no idea what he's doing wasting my talent in a match against you. How about you come down here and just receive your punishment now instead of waiting until Monday night. What say you, SoulPlaya?"

Rented WWE 13, got up the the Stone Cold Royal Rumble part and when it got down to Farooq, Cactus Jack and me, Cactus Jack Irish whipped me into the corner, made a deal with Cthulu, and this happened:

*Not my video, but shows what happened.
Then Farooq Irish whipped him into the opposite corner and the same thing happened to CJ. Match is still going 30 minutes later with Farooq kicking the air where CJ's body should be, unable to connect. Goes to show you--never trust an Elder God.

"Now, hold up son...maybe it's YOU who has no idea. No idea what you're in for when you face SoulPlaya this coming Monday, live on GWL! But, you sound to me like a man with a point to prove, and I admire that - so, why don't you show me, show the fans and show SoulPlaya what McNei1y is all about this coming Monday, and prove you ain't all bullshit and bluster by winning King of the Ring!"

Soul, speaking to someone on the telephone: Hey Big Red, it's me again. I'm sorry, I know you said to never call you at this time, but I just wanted to make sure that you received the flowers that I sent you. I think they go well with the last batch that I shipped out to you. Well, I hope this voice mail reaches you, as you haven't returned my last thirty or so. Maybe your machine is broken? Hehe, get it? Machine broken? You're the Big Red Machine, right? Hahaha. . . . . . alright, then, call me you up when you can. Bye.
Soul: OK, now that I'm done taking care of that important business, I can get back to focusing on you, McNeil. . .y. You dare to disparage the Kane Kliq? The organization that is funding the GWF? Listen here, if it weren't for the Kane Kliq, you would still be selling meat by the side of the road, understand?! Now, you want me to go down to the ring, whoop your little non-red ass, huh? You want to ruin the tournament? No, I don't think so. Your ass whooping has an appointment, and I'm a man that keeps my appointments. Until then, let the fear keep you warm. I'll see you Monday night.
Couple thoughts:
Is there anyone who has improved so much in such a short time than Titus O'Neil? I mean, he was awful on NXT season 2. Just terrible. Then he came back on Redemption and it was like, "hmm, dude looks like he's got his shit together", and then the PTP have become one of the best parts of whatever show they're on. Granted, he looked more lost than I've seen anyone look in years in the 6 man on The Main Event, but he's improved so much.
Something has bothered me about VINTAGE for a long while. When Undertaker came back as the Biker Taker and started doing the leg drop on the apron, Cole and JR both always called it as VINTAGE UNDERTAKER. But he never did that move until he was in that gimmick, so it couldn't be VINTAGE at all. It bothered me at the time and never went away.
JBL looks old as FUCK in HD.

Yeah it was a fucking brutal fall, everyone was chanting "this is awesome" as the like the whole match happened. Oh and as he waked out after refusing to be carried out on a stretcher, everyone was clapping for him and Steen was in the middle of a promo, so he yelled "stop clapping and listen to me!"
It was so amazing and so much fun. I'm going to go again for sure!
Well, golly gee gosh darn DAMN.

He's still pretty green, but I think he's coming into his own since they got the PTP gimmick in terms of confidence and charisma.
For my money, the most meteoric rise has to be Okada's;
Generic young lion > TNA Jobber > IWGP Heavyweight Champion
But it helps that he wasn't ever given a chance in the spot-light until returning to New Japan, no one realised just how much he had improved.
To give you a look inside the arena:
Before it happened: "No, he's not going to....what's he going to do with that!? They're going up on the turn-buckle!"
As it happened: "Holy fuck, NO NO NO NO WAY. OH MY SHIT!"
After it happened: "THAT WAS AWESOME *chant*. HOLY SHIT *chant*. THIS IS WRESTLING *chant.*"

He probably wants off Mars.
Or maybe he's wants them to give him that new gimmick and better push already. They made it seem like he was going to come back with a fresh angle.

Most amazing thing about this? Coach is taller than the Rock. However, that never came across on WWE TV.

Yeah, I probably said that at one point or another, in both a negative and positive light. He's very over, sells a lot of merchandise and appeals to a younger audience, but while he is certainly a great wrestler the hardcore fans don't like him as much because of his wrestling style and his booking in the past. He has been involved in some fantastic matches though.
The top guys currently are probably Hiroshi Tanahashi, Tetsuya Naito, Hirooki Goto, Togi Makabe & Prince Devitt for the faces, Kazuchika Okada, Minoru Suzuki, Shinsuke Nakamura Katsuyori Shibata & Low Ki for the heels. As far as tag teams go, Apollo 55 and TenKoji are very over, while Time Splitters are gaining popularity. And, of course veterans like Liger, Nagata, Kojima, Tenzan & TAKA are perennially over.
Speaking of Shibata, I watched this match of his earlier and loved it - just an awesome, hard-hitting fight between the veteran ass-kicker Akiyama and the arrogant upstart Shibata;
Jun Akiyama vs Katsuyori Shibata - (W1 04/08/05)

Adam Cole with the old and new ROH TV Titles;
Yeah, he and Kazushi Sakuraba returned last August, saying they're dissatisfied with the state of wrestling today and want to change things up. It's pretty much another pro-wrestling vs shoot-style feud, trying to reignite the same heat of the old NJPW/UWF rivalry.

There were a few different NJPW/UWF feuds, right? The 80s one, a mini one in the mid 90s, and then another one in the late 90s. That's what I seem to remember from my puro days. But the late 90s could have been just shoot vs puro in general. I feel like that and general promotion invasion (especially in the past 5-8 years) have been as over relied on in puro as corrupt authority figure has been in the US.

There was the mid-80's feud, which was New Japan vs the guys who left to form UWF, but when it folded later in the decade and many of the ex-NJPW guys returned, they did a UWF invasion angle. The mid 90's feud was New Japan vs UWFi, but was strictly booked as a promotion feud and not an invasion, and I don't recall one after that, as shoot-style kinda died off in Japan and was left to smaller indies like BattlArts & FUTEN, and Inoki IGF crap in recent years.
strobogo said:
Yeah, I think it's a result of the downturn of business in general, and promotions drawing smaller crowds are often relying on inter-promotional bookings to help make their big shows seem special.
This thread has reached a new low.
So they're just copying what Nakamura and CHAOS did with strong style.
British Monsoon

Yeah, but with more of an MMA flavour. They're going straight after Togi Makabe too. I wouldn't be surprised to see Sakuraba & Shibata align with CHAOS at some point, but the group is so big as it is. Also, a Nakamura vs Okada power struggle feud is surely inevitable at some point.
WWE doing politics right:

I maintain Linda shouldn't have distanced herself from WWE at all.
Just all out acknowledge WWE, and all it's ENTERTAINMENT shenanigans and go for the silly vote. I mean Schwarzenegger got elected for doing action movies, why can't Linda be elected for pretending to be catatonic while her husband makes out with female wrestlers?
