Pre-ordered Sunday's New Japan World Tag League iPPV;

http://www.ustream.tv/channel/njpw1972

Should hopefully be a great show, even if half the card is unnanounced and the rest dependent on the results of the tournament. The tag league is pretty wide open at the moment, as with only a few days left before the iPPV there are 10 teams still in contention;

Block A -
Minoru Suzuki & Kengo Mashimo
Kazuchika Okada & YOSHI-HASHI
Togi Makabe & Wataru Inoue
Yuji Nagata & Masaaki Mochizuki
Shinsuke Nakamura & Tomohiro Ishii
Hirooki Goto & Karl Anderson

Block B -
Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Satoshi Kojima
Masato Tanaka & Yujiro Takahashi
Lance Archer & Davey Boy Smith Jr.
MVP & Shelton Benjamin

I'm guessing the semi-finals will be Hirooki Goto & Karl Anderson vs Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Satoshi Kojima, and Lance Archer & Davey Boy Smith Jr. vs Yuji Nagata & Masaaki Mochizuki, and then Goto & Anderson vs Archer & Smith in the finals with Goto & Anderson winning and going on to face Archer & Smith for the belts at the Tokyo Dome on January 4th.

So, I'd guess the Dome show is shaping up like this;

. IWGP Heavyweight Title Match: Hiroshi Tanahashi (c) vs Kazuchika Okada
. GHC World Heavyweight Title Match: Takeshi Morishima (c) vs KENTA
. AJPW Triple Crown Championship Match: Masakatsu Funaki (c) vs Yuji Nagata
. IWGP Intercontinental Title Match: Shinsuke Nakamura (c) vs Kazushi Sakuraba
. Special Tag Match: Keiji Mutoh & Daichi Hashimoto vs ? & ?
. IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title Match: Prince Devitt (c) vs Low Ki vs Kota Ibushi
. IWGP Tag Team Title Match: Lance Archer & Davey Boy Smith Jr. vs Hirooki Goto & Karl Anderson
. Katsuyori Shibata vs Togi Makabe
. some random faces vs heels 10-man tag
. IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Title Match: KUSHIDA & Alex Shelley (c) vs Alex Koslov & Rocky Romero

Hot damn.

I just noticed I didn't include Tenzan or Kojima in the line-up there...perhaps TenKoji will be the team to face Mutoh & lil' Hashimoto? Would be a great match to see.

I would totally play this! A turn based RPG wrestling fighting system would be awesome - wrestling moves could be basic attacks, finishers could be like magic, and buffs/debuffs could be various face and heel tactics (i.e, 'hope spot' to get the crowd behind you and enhance your attack power, 'referee distraction' to enable a team mate to attack out of turn, 'eye gouge' to blind an opponent, etc).

You could make one where you play as Dean Ambrose, searching desperately for a protein shake. And if you can't find one in time, the ghost of Vince McMahon admonishes you and kills your push.

I'm going to make a WWE visual novel where you play as Zack Ryder trying to get over with the fans and the Divas.
Has numerous bad ends like getting dragged into under ring hell by Kane.

How many endings have Cena involved?
Click to expand...

3 bad ends.

1. Cena steals away Ryder's diva of choice leaving Ryder so depressed he commits suicide, Cena smirks, dumps the diva calling her a hoeski and she offs herself as well.

2. A story route that has Cena as Ryder's best pal, it's going to end with Cena putting Ryder over on PPV for the title only for Ryder to get screwjobbed as Cena legit breaks his arms mid match and Ryder can't kick out of the forced pinfall, final scene has a Ryder lying on the canvas with blurred vision looking at Cena celebrating on the ramp, SINISTER SMIRK.

3. Cena grants a kids make-a-wish plea, and that wish is to kill Zack Ryder, Cena is powerless to go against the wishes, except it turns out the kid was a robot all along and programmed by JOHN CENA! and also Cena is a robot, he is the prototype, smug metallic grin ending.

We can differentiate the three by the color of Cena's ring gear, one blue, one green and one red.

So not worth it
For the first time since being injured during a fierce WWE Tag Team Title Match against Team Hell No on WWE Main Event, Rhodes updates the WWE Universe on his status. Rhodes, who has not competed in a match since Nov. 14 due to injuries suffered at the hands of Kane, talks candidly about what’s next for Team Rhodes Scholars and makes eye-raising remarks about The Big Red Monster.

WWE.COM: Can you talk a little about the injury? You Tweeted that you tore your trap and your deltoid and that you separated your shoulder. Can you talk about the seriousness of such injuries?

CODY RHODES: Well, honestly, the best way I’ve heard the injury described, is that I dodged a bullet. The trap tear is a grade two (on a scale of one to three), but I don’t need surgery — the tears will heal themselves over time with proper physical therapy. The separated shoulder is an old injury from amateur wrestling, and it’s basically the area that could have been considerably worse. I could have landed on my neck, but I turned just in time to land on my shoulder. The separated shoulder is where the most pain is and it’s the AC joint, but like I said, I dodged a bullet — no surgery. (WATCH HOW IT HAPPENED)

WWE.COM: How soon did you know you were in trouble, and what was going through your head at the time? Do you remember anything in the ring or backstage after it happened?

RHODES: I thought I broke my arm, and I was in a very bad position in the ring. You know, ring awareness is something I’ve always been fond of — having ring awareness, having mat awareness. Always knowing where I am at all times. Especially in a tag team situation, knowing if I’m on my side of the ring. I wasn’t. I was in enemy territory and Daniel Bryan had me wide open.

Actually, everything after Kane dropped me, I don’t remember. I remember hitting the mat one more time, and then I thought that I immediately tagged out, but watching back, there’s a whole period of a minute, a minute-and-a-half, where I faked out Daniel Bryan, who missed a headbutt and I just laid there. I didn’t know that — I thought I was much more cognizant than I was, but watching back I didn’t know that I was on the apron, I didn’t know that the doctor was tugging at my boots.

I just was contemplating in my head — the only thing I remember thinking was if I could get in there and kick [Daniel Bryan], then tag Damien real quick and tag out, that I could offer something still. Damien looked at me one time after I said, "tag me in," after I got my bearings a little bit, but he certainly had no intentions of tagging me in, at great cost to himself. So I owe Damien Sandow a lot.

WWE.COM: Speaking of your tag team partner, are you still in regular contact with Damien Sandow?

RHODES: We haven’t had as much personal contact as I’d like. One of the things I most look forward to with Damien is our Monday, Wednesday and Friday "war room" sessions where we would discuss everything in the WWE Universe, and all of the Superstars and Divas. It was a real gripe fest, but a nice period of time to vent.

Now he’s navigating the murky waters of singles competiton and I wish him — genuinely — good luck. I just hope he doesn’t forget that Team Rhodes Scholars was on a very steep climb to the top.

WWE.COM: In your TOUT from a couple of days ago, you wished Sandow luck but you also cautioned not to forget "the bigger picture." Is that bigger picture you were referring to winning the WWE Tag Team Titles?

RHODES: It’s not about winning the WWE Tag Team Championship anymore — and I hate saying that because they are absolutely prestigious in every way, and I’ve been fortunate enough to be a four-time Tag Team Champion.

What I meant by that, is that this is a personal issue, and I hope and I think that Mr. Sandow understands it’s a personal issue. Had I landed on my neck, I would not be able to do this anymore. My boyhood dream of being in WWE and ascending is paramaount. It’s something that ceraintly could have been stopped dead in its tracks — which is something I thought would never happen, and I hope that Damien realizes how strong of a personal issue it is for me.

And I’ll be honest — it’s not so much with Team Hell No and their goofy schtick of ‘Yes! Yes!" and "No! No!" and "red rules" — it’s more with Kane. I’m aware of the monster, but I’m also aware of the fact that he’s slowly becoming the modern day Dude Love — he’s just, I don’t know, disintegrating into a novelty joke and I would certainly like to get my shots in on him before he vanishes completely.

WWE.COM: Wow, those are some strong words. Do you feel that, besides being less intimidating (which I’m gathering from what you just said), do you feel that Kane is less effective and less physical now that he’s a part of Team Hell No?

RHODES: Absolutely not. One thing I won't do, by any means, is disrparage who he was prior. He’s certainly not less physical, and he’s certainly not less intimidating. But the real thing is, what do I have to be intimidated by?

In the state of Ohio alone — just Ohio — someone brought this up to me. I lost half my blood supply, practically, in a Street Fight Match against Randy Orton, and then almost a year later, Kane drops me and I end up having the first muscle tears I’ve had in my entire life being an athlete.

I’ve given a great deal. When they talk about paying your dues, I don’t care that I’m 27. I’ve paid a good chunk of them. So coming back, I’m not easily intimidated, I’m not out there to do a "ha ha" bit on Monday Night Raw or Friday Night SmackDown. I’m specifically coming back with something. What do I have to fear?

I’m not coming back to make people laugh. I’m coming back to make people cry.

WWE.COM: So, more important to you than winning the WWE Tag Team Titles is you exacting revenge on Kane?

RHODES: I think they coincide. And as you’ve been asking questions, I realize that they coincide. Winning the WWE Tag Team Championship for the fifth time is the perfect revenge, and it’s the perfect wake-up call for someone like Kane, one of WWE’s resident monsters. [Kane is] genuinely a legend in sports-entertainment, but I would say that he’s on the back end of that legendary career and I have no problem waking the monster up, as people saw with Big Show heading into WrestleMania.

I don’t mind poking the bear. You don’t get anywhere by tiptoeing around anything. Certainly, I’d rather step on toes than tiptoe around anybody.

WWE.COM: Switching gears a bit, how do you think Damien Sandow has performed since your injury?

RHODES: I was disappointed that he was unable to put somebody like Kofi Kingston away, but in the same token, you’re only as good as your last match. And [Damien's] last match was against Zack Ryder [on the Nov. 26 episode of Raw], and he made short work of a very credible Superstar in Zack Ryder, so I think he just has to get back in the rhythm. (WATCH)

When you’ve been in a tag team, and you’ve been on a long European tour, [a singles match] is a different type of match. It’s a different type of breathing for one, and he’s getting his bearings, I hope, and he’s someone who won’t show you if there’s any rust in his singles work. He’ll manage to hide it and that’s one of the things I admire about him, certainly.

You’re only as good as your last match, and his last match ended in a victory for him, so I think he’s doing well.

WWE.COM: Finally, when can the WWE Universe expect you to return to the ring?

RHODES: I am a quick healer and I can fight through pain, but I will not rush my return to the ring. There is no hard timeline for my return.
Click to expand...

Looks like we won't see Rhodes for a few months at least. Unless they're overstating things and the plan is for him to return and win the Royal Rumble OUT OF NOWHERE. I'd like that.

But it will just end up being Cena.

I don't think this year has been that bad actually.

We had some pretty fun feuds and storyline. The whole D-Bry storyline for the first 3 months of 2012, Bryan vs Punk (vs. Kane vs AJ) was fun as well, Big Show's heel turn, Team Hell No, the rest of the tag-division, Austin Aries' rise, Joseph Park.

To name a few things I liked.

the entire CM Punk feud was great. Sheamus and Dragon did have some great matches, and team Hell No has become one of my fav teams ever. but i guess im looking at a bigger picture, and comparing it to the good times. compared to last year this year was about just as good, compared to 2010 it was probably better.

Structure/Level wise

1. Backyard Wrestler
2. Invited to a Wrestling Gym
3. Local Indy Promotion
4. Larger Indy Promotion
5. Jobber for the Main Promotion
5.1 - 5.5 Various story lines to help you get Over (gain levels)
6 First Title Shot with Main Promotion

and so on.

Quests would be in Storylines. If you wanted to form a Tag Team the other wrestler might not do it until you do something for them (like crap in a Divas Handbag).

Cody seems like he wants a real feud with a monster Kane. Fantastic. This could be a way of turning him face, if Kane goes heel, but I don't know.

Give a Kane mark a moment here, because I have to share something. Looking at the spoilers for yesterday, it looks like Kane wrestled two matches in one night. This is one day after he wrestled in the main event of RAW with Punk. I'm sorry, but for a 45 year old wrestler, that's fucking impressive. The man is in the ring arguably moving better than he has in years, and he's doing with guys that are 15-20 years younger than him. Most of his contemporaries were barely able to walk at his age, but here's a guy wrestling two matches in one night, 3 matches in 24 hours.

The WWE doesn't hype this up. They're not making special videos like they do for other legends. They're not getting a bunch of wrestles and forcing to talk about how great Kane's matches are, like they do for Taker any time he makes a bowel movement in the ring. Kane does this without any fanfare, any hype, and he says nothing for himself. He just goes out there, year after year, day after day, and does his job. The scary part, though, is he makes it look easy.

Shops would sell items like Muscle Milk, illegal weapons (Chairs, Hammers - HHH Sized, etc). Equipment would be ring gear, which you'd upgrade as you went along. I'm pretty sure there's a Fame/Infamy coding within RPG Maker too, so that could be used for Face/Heel alignments (which would change what Quests/Storylines you can or cannot do).

3 different endings.
The only difference is the color of your gear as you go out for your final match.

Your CAW starts with LIMITED SKILLS AND ABILITIES
Utilizes combat system from WM2000/No Mercy

You start out, you get 2 Weak Grapples, 1 Strong Grapple (front and rear), 1 weak hit, 1 strong hit, your finisher (has to be face-to-face standing from grapple).
As you level up you unlock more spots to put move in.
As you use your moves their power/efficiency grows.

Story of his career, an unsung legend, but don't worry Wrasslegaf, we'll always be here to remind you of such things and I know you all appreciate it.
I'm sure once he's retired and been away from tV for a while people will remember his entire tenure more fondly, just right now people are wanting new talent and due to WWE's shitty booking Kane and Show are still more reliable to use in a pinch so they get more hate then they really should.
