Aw SHIT I am so watching this.
Also why the fuck have the WWE not gone forward with a Cody Rhodes Gay Icon character for him yet? He's perfect for it.

It helps that it looks very close to male briefs, too. He would be the perfect figurehead if the WWE wants to (for once in their lives) not make homosexuality a goddamn joke.
We can lament that wrestlers and writers don't have 'it' all day these days, and I think it's true to degree, but a big part of it is that the magic's gone. The idea of knowing how real it is, of knowing who's in the doghouse. It just takes the fun out of it.
I mean, during the match, Hansen is working Jumbo for the start. Jumbo finally reverses it and causes Hansen to run into the turnbuckle on the outside, and the crowd fucking flips. Then Jumbo goes back into the ring and they flip again so he won't get counted out. Then he goes BACK out and they flip again to see him get after Hansen.
Obviously we're dealing in extremes here. You've got the most popular gaijin in the history of puro and the most beloved Japanese wrestler of all time, but it's still crazy to see the pops. Which is funny when people say Japanese fans are just quiet and clap. Not if you're watching a good feud.

Eh. I think he's the weak link only in the sense that Kane is his partner, and Kane losing regularly harms him a lot more than D-Brine losing regularly. Dragon can job every week for a year at this point and he'd be just as over. Kane jobbing every week makes him and his big monster gimmick look like a joke.
Why Cody when Justin Gabriel is on the roster?

I know a thing or two about "The Gay" and let me tell you, excepting that verrrrry questionable and appealing underwear ad that Gabriel was in, Cody is definitely primed to be the gay icon the WWE needs.

Cody & Justin could be the new Billy & Chuck. Who could play the role of Rico?

No no NO !
I want it to be serious and handled maturely. Basically like nothing the WWE ever does.

I liked the Billy & Chuck thing. 
They played it really well, touching each others bums and stuff.

Why do you guys get excited when a wrestler retweets you? It's not like they're celebrities or anything.

Pro wrestling has been openly acknowledged as worked since the 80s in the US. Dirtsheets have been around since then. Wrestling still exploded in the 80s. Dirtsheets were massively expanded with the internet in the 90s when Vince went on TV and outright said the shit was rigged and he wasn't going to insult your intelligence anymore. Wrestling still exploded in the 90s. Nothing is really different now besides Twitter. It's just a genre of entertainment that goes in cycles. Not unlike certain types of music and certain genres of movies.

SPOILER WARNING: Click here to reveal hidden content.
Vince booked Punk vs Ryback vs John Cena for the WWE Championship at Survivor Series. Also, Brad Maddox challenged Ryback to a match next week and, if he wins, he'll get a million dollar contract.

What is this
It's always existed, but you had to go out of your way to find it. They still had 'behind the mat' style shows on tv in the 90s, but nowadays.. You google your favorite wrestler and it's over. You know everything about them and who they actually are.
No, at most you could typically find out their real names.
That's not true at all, because I was searching dudes and numerous dirtsheet styled websites back in 1999. I knew all the inner workings and who was in the dog house, who was going to get a push. In fact, the first thing I did when I got the internet was find some of those sites. I knew the finish to the WM 12 Iron Man match a week in advance as like an 8 year old or something.
What?
What the hell is going on?
Cena vs Ziggler would have been fine enough I also don't get what is the point of the Cena/AJ/Vickie thing

I still visit nodq.com occasionally. I forget what that site was called in the 90s but it was different I think.
I subscribe to Wrestling Observer though so it's mostly redundant.
As someone who's had a wrestling tumblr for years now, I don't know what to think about this. I mean, it was inevitable, but at the same time I wouldn't be surprised if the WWE pressured Tumblr about copyright violations on DropToeHold.com and EVERY other site on that platform.
I've had SONY request songs to be taken down from my main website which lead to several emails from Tumblr that stated that they removed the content in question from my page. I wonder if the WWE will do the same now.
It's been
changed to Team Ziggler vs Team Orton at SS. Its' now Orton, Hell No, Kofi and ? vs Ziggler, Rhode Scholars, Barrett and Del Rio. The main event is a 3-way with Punk vs Cena vs Ryback.
Rest of the card seems to be R-Truth vs Cesaro, Sheamus vs Big Show, and maybe Cara and Rey vs Prime time players.
Yep! Pretty convinced reading all that shit made me the smark I am now. Magic was already gone when I was only twelve.

I was a mark for a long while. I think it was after the Invasion angle ended when I started reading dirtsheets.

I like how CrankyVince is a credible source.
It's mind blowing/a little sad that Twitter is actually one of the more reliable ways to get breaking news if you're willing to filter through a bunch of crap.
Edit: I forgot that WWE is overseas. I thought I was reading fake/joke spoilers. Funny how hard it is to tell.
