Turns out he asked for a week ban.Wait, what? What did he do?
Welcome to the Feud of the Week - I'm posting mine for this month a little early (Tuesday is when new ones 'release' but I figure I can sneak this out a day early so you guys can enjoy it) - we have a Feud set up for each week to discuss and watch. I'm not expecting too much from it - but if just one person pays attention to what we write (I've contacted others to contribute to this as well) then I'll consider it mission accomplished.
Feud of the Week for October 1-7th: The Freebirds vs the Von Erich Clan
In late 1982, Michael PS Hayes arrived in WCCW for a couple matches against the Von Erichs clan. The Von Erichs, the standard-bearers for good honest Texans and hometown favorites in WCCW, found an amazing amount of heat between themselves and Michael Hayes. Hayes picked up on it and they all worked a feud where Hayes was leaving WCCW, but coming back with his brother, Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy. They returned on Christmas night of 1982, as faces, helping the Von Erichs - teaming with David to win the WCCW Six-Man Tag Titles. Everyone was happy, and the Freebirds had made good with the Von Erichs.
This happened to be the night where Ric Flair was defending his NWA World Heavyweight Championship belt against Kerry Von Erich - in a steel cage match.
Flair was the underdog, what with the entire crowd being behind Kerry Von Erich to a ridiculous degree - and it was held in a cage, so there would be no interference. The fans got to pick a special guest referee/enforcer along with their ref, to ensure no foul play. Somehow, the fans picked Michael PS Hayes to be that enforcer. In an unbelievably telegraphed move, Hayes mentioned to the fans that they would have a "surprise present" for the Von Erichs, and the fans interpreted that as the NWA World Heavyweight Championship for Kerry that night.
The match itself between Flair and Kerry was good - unfortunately, the WWE has shut down virtually ALL of the videos showing it, which is a shame - because the end of the match turned into Hayes cheating to help Kerry win the championship--but Kerry wouldn't do it. In true Texas style, he didn't want to cheat to win - and refused to cover Flair, despite Hayes handing the title to him on a silver platter.
Hayes got mad, Hayes shoved Kerry, and it got messy. Kerry went to leave the match through the cage door, and in an incredible moment that you could HEAR in the crowd noise, Gordy slammed the cage door on Kerry's head and the crowd erupted. Due to blood loss, Kerry could not continue the match, and lost his chance at the title.
This kicked off a hell of a feud that lasted many years, pitting the Freebirds against the entire Von Erich clan. Arenas would sell out weekly for roughly the next decade, in the same arenas.
Here's a few matches from their feud - in case you couldn't tell, the crowd was hot, super hot about this entire feud and feeling the emotion from the crowd really elevated both groups - Hayes and Gordy on the Freebirds' end played their parts perfectly, and the Von Erichs playing the good ol' boys that the crowd LOVED. It was truly a hellacious feud.

Aiiii definitely has some choice aj shots
Watched the replay of the show, and by god was that debate terrible. Sheamus has got such a terrible character. It's like Vince just copy and paste Cena's terrible form into another guy. What's with the constant attempts at comedy? Awful.
That fuckup was all dipshit Ryback.Will Vince fire Tensai?
Anyone have a link to the Ryback botch?
Back in my day, wrestlers packed everything in Universal Studios fanny packs.
Their rivalry is one of epic proportions in the history books of Ring of Honor. From their first meeting in the spring of 2006 until their final ROH match in the fall of 2009, Bryan Danielson and Nigel McGuinness engaged in one of the most legendary series of matches ROH had ever seen, or will likely ever see again.
They were two men driven by a mutual love of professional wrestling and a competitive desire to constantly prove who was the better man. McGuinness and Danielson collided in an unforgettable quartet of matches in 2006 while the former reigned as ROH Pure Champion and the latter as World Champion, highlighted by an intense Title Unification match in front of Nigel's home country.
The rivalry was renewed in the following years with Nigel in the role of defending champion, they even stepped into the ring as allies in pursuit of the ROH World Tag Titles, and through it all developed a respect for one another both as wrestlers and as men.
This 2-Disc collection contains every one-on-one meeting between the two sure-fire ROH Hall of Famers and as an added bonus to the set, it also contains several other tag matches featuring McGuinness & Danielson including their tag title challenge against Jay & Mark Briscoe from Race to the Top Tournament Night 1" and their ROH vs. Pro Wrestling NOAH dream tag team match against Takeshi Morishima & Naomichi Marufuji from "United We Stand".
The head-to-head matches included on this set are from Weekend of Champions Night 2, Generation Now, their Title Unification Match from Unified, Epic Encounter II, Driven, Survival of the Fittest 2007, their epic World Title Clash from 6th Anniversary Show, Battle of the Best, Rising Above 2008, and their mutual final ROH match from Glory by Honor VIII: The Final Countdown. This is the story of one of the most epic rivalries in ROH history. This is Danielson vs. McGuinness: The Complete Collection.

The greatest team in the history of wrestling, If you think other then prepare for the reckoning
That's just a taste of the lyrics that led Chris Hero & Claudio Castagnoli out to the ring with the ROH World Tag Team Titles strapped to their waists for a record-setting 363 days. Starting with their reunion at Final Battle 2009 at the expense of Jay & Mark Briscoe, The Kings of Wrestling quickly established themselves as a powerhouse in ROH's already stacked tag team ranks.
Over the course of their year-long rivalry with The Briscoes, Hero & Claudio proved themselves as capable of technical tag team wrestling as they were at getting bloody and violent. Their contests against teams such as Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin, The American Wolves, and The Young Bucks demonstrated a dominance unlike any the division had ever seen, and they will forever be mentioned as one of the greatest teams in ROH's history.
This 2-Disc set presents 14 of The KoW's complete matches, plus highlights and more! With Hero's KO Elbows & Claudio's unparalled power, you will see how it wasn't hyperbole when they said...Kings Reign Supreme!

Ring of Honor has released two new great compilation DVDs......must haves for many here:
Some seriously amazing matches here. If you have never seen Daniel Bryan in ROH, this is the disc to get (unless they release one with all or most of his title defenses). This was probably his best feud in Ring of Honor so enjoy.
If you have never seen the Kings of Wrestling (Antonio Cesario (Claudio Castagnoli) & Kassius Ohno (Chris Hero)) together, this is a great dvd set. One of the better indie tag teams of recent years and I really hope WWE puts them together on Raw.
Both are available here: http://www.rohwrestling.com/shop/new-releases

I'm just glad Cesaro is done with Santino and squashing Funkasauri now. Also, how good are they making Sandow look? This company is doing alot of things right lately as far as building new stars lately. #thankyoutrips
