That was actually a pretty good match - Smith seems so much more at home with the Japanese style of wrestling, and he and Archer work well together. That double team powerbomb finish is SICK, and Archer's moonsault on Tenzan looked nasty - he either landed knee first in Tenzan's ribs or his nether regions, lol.

I really enjoyed that, a few too many near-falls maybe, but some great stuff regardless.

ApparentlyMr. Touchdown MURDERED Saphire
This has to go down as the most heinous act in the history of pro wrestling. You can count on three things the MAHS getting his revenge, Veronica leaving Mr. Touchdown, and me booing the ever living hell out of Touchdown at CHIKARA in Cleveland later today!

That was when he wasn't expecting fans of his former club to so vehemently boo the shit out of him - this time around, he knows better and will hopefully have a point to prove. Also, that was LOLerpool, this time you're up against Well Fed Sam's Claret & Blue Army
Because this is a kids show and some shirts might not be appropriate.
Also: they might not have the rights to show the shirt.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Kidd get the MITB briefcase next year.

I just realised the next New Japan & CHIKARA iPPVs are on the same day (December 2nd), and only 8 hours apart at that. Gonna be an awesome day of wrestling.
Speaking of, CHIKARA's iPPV 'Under the Hood', the Season 11 Finale, is available to pre-order now for $14.99;
http://smvod.com/premium-video/chikara-under-hood-live-ippv-december-2
*edit, random, Human Tornado wrestled on the CZW show last night, tagging with Toby Klein. Wonder if this is just a one-time thing or what, as I'd love to see Tornado back in PWG. Also, Tremont's mystery partner was
who got a huge pop, and they set up
for the Cage of Death this year, which is live via iPPV on December 8th;

It's a nice thought, and I'd definitely like to see Kidd get a meaningful push, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him become the guy who does little all year and then ends up having the craziest spot in the MITB match without actually winning (aka another Shelton Benjamin, Kofi Kingston or Evan Bourne).

You don't think burying your MitB winner for months and then giving them a short, pointless reign helps superstars? Just ask Swagger/Fandangoo.
Anyways, let's talk about random one-off world title matches. No real feud, no real purpose, but somehow, someway, so and so gets a title shot. I specifically remember watching The Rock vs. Bubba Ray Dudley on Smackdown for the WWF Championship. I cannot find this video for the life of me, but I swear it happened. I remember thinking it was a good match.
Bret Hart vs. 123 Kid (part 2)
Jeff Hardy vs. John Morrison (part 2)
Sheamus vs. Zack Ryder
Triple H vs. Taka Michinoku
Chris Jericho vs. Maven
Owen should have been in the title hunt for more than he was given. He had excellent stuff with Bret in the mid 90's, and he worked great with Austin and HBK as well. He was one of those guys who could play a cowardly heel to a tee, but also be a cheerful face without looking too generic.
Add MVP to the list. That Youtube link with he and Shelton tagging was really nice, and it looks like he's having a blast over there. With how you're set in this WWE booking craze, you can take a guess to say many of them don't enjoy it much and just stay on to collect a paycheck or are content with being on TV.

Thanks WWE.com
''Get the F out!''
Totally right. Never did fuck all for guys like Edge and Daniel Bryan either.
Bleacher Report: 10 things wrong with the WWE right now. The article must have been written in about five minutes since he could only come up with 10 reasons.
I'm convinced that you guys are all high or that there's some bad info out there, because all those screens look like a cleaned up WCW Backstage Assault. That truck area, the boiler rooms -- all in that game. The game was the sequel to WCW Mayhem, but it wasn't even released for the PS2...but it did ship in Q4 2000, which makes me believe that you guys are building up a game in your minds that ended up to be quite terrible.
Seriously, I bought it yesterday at a shop downtown, because I never owned it originally and it's laughably bad. Good times.
There's a video of like 200 things wrong with WWE right now. Search for it on youtube. It's great
good luck trying to bug me DM.
Finished the NWO main video portion.
Makes me pretty sad, sadly I didn't get to tune into WCW when NWO was at it's peak
Truly like the best thing to happen to wrestling.
Makes me sad it really jumped the shark and fell apart, great talent, great new idea and just legendary in every way.

I agree with all of them. Especially putting the title on the Rock. It makes no sense. So then Cena would win it back from him at WM? God help me, that is such a horrible idea.
I agree with all those except Show getting the belt. They probably didn't want Sheamus to have the longest reign, so they had to break it up and Show was the perfect guy to do it. He'll probably lose it at SS anyway.
The nWo stuff was stale by mid 1997. Should have ended or changed dramatically after Starrcade 1997. Instead, they just kept it going strong for another year and a half. Then tried it again. I love that Russo's big way to save WCW was by bringing back the nWo..but THIS time it is different. It's black and SILVER. Totally not the same thing!

Couple of new PWG DVD releases, firstly PWG Sells Out, Volume 3, which features 3 discs worth of awesome matches from PWG's past;
http://www.highspots.com/p/pwg-sells-out-3.html
And the second release is a 2-disc collection of El Generico's best matches in PWG; The Many Adventures of El Generico;
http://www.highspots.com/p/pwg-generico.html
Definitely picking up that Generico set, so many awesome matches.

Yeah. Way way too many people joined it, making it a bit bland.

Well we know that Wade Barrett is in line for a MTIB win becuase if he didn't get injured he probably be at the top of the card by now. If Sandow is really a Triple H guy I could see him winning the other MTIB.
We also had two good MTIB winners last year in Del Rio and Bryan. Both I wouldn't say either was buried going into to their title runs.
Punk looked good.... Swagger and Fandangoo are not the same person.
Bless you for those matches I will put them in my watch later queue.
John Morrison is probably my favorite wrestler from the late post attitude era.(I call it the exploit era for what it is worth.)
At this junction I don't want to see the The Rock wrestle.... Much less see Cena be champion.

Am i crazy or was Lesnar supposed to come back at SS? Like, wouldn't it have made sense to have a Punk-led team that included Lesnar to combat Ryback?

Yeah, I wonder what they will do with Punk if Cena wins the title at second time in a lifetime?
If Rock wins, the title will not be defended for three months, which means what for story lines? And honestly I'd prefer the Rock put over Taker in his retirement match.
Then it could set off a King of the Ring PPV with the ultimate prize being the title or another title tournament on Raw, culminating at the PPV.
Will it be like the original brand split where there was a Smackdown 6? Punk, Bryan, Sheamus, Sandow, Rhodes and Barrett?

Rock would have to defend the title between Royal Rumble and Mania otherwise he'd be violating the 30 Day rule, duh.
