I think I'm gonna adopt the Heavy model and just only talk about man-ass any time I'm reviewing a show.

Pretty average Raw. Ending was terrible and dragged on too long with foot on the ropes foot on the ropes foot ont he ropes, alright we get it. At least end on a decent promo or something.
That Sandow match was but 1) his finisher blows and takes as much time as the killswitch, if not more, to setup. 2) He wasl iterally wearing underwear in this match, even had the lining at the top. 3) Ryder's tights were up high for half the match, his ass was spilling out. Honestly this is way too much man for me. Ryder was basically naked ffs. Then Sandow with the underwear.
I'll take a screencap of it. Probably 50-60% of the match this was Ryder and it was like they were focusing on it, fuck.
This is supposed to be PG, isn't it? This is why WWE and wrestling aren't 'cool' anymore, because every wrestler is tanned and oiled up and wearing goddamn fruit of the looms.
Male nudity is actually PG somehow remember Big Dick Johnson. Theres been more male nudity than female nudity in the past decade.

A recent cena tweet:
Oh.. And @CMPunk u TIED a guy with a blown up ankle, and a shattered arm ... what say when i get healthy ...
...then you'll get yourself injured again because you're stupid enough to wear trainers in a wrestling ring

News is appearing the Japanese press about a working partnership between WWE & All Japan, allowing "the import & export of talent to and from AJPW", and shows John Laurinaitis meeting with All Japan executives to broker a deal;
Wow - would love to see this come to fruition. There's a bunch of guys in either promotion who would surely benefit from working in such a different environment.

Some of the B-tier guys need to go to Japan to learn the craft. I'm looking at Darren Young, Titus O'Neil, Jinder Mahal, RYBACK etc. I would watch WWE a whole lot more if the wrestling improved and this could be a step towards that.
For all the hate the "E" gets, they have put the right foot forwards. Showcasing Daniel Bryan, trying to push Evan Bourne, making CM Punk a champ, and rightfully hiring Tyler Black. The company is bright if they can figure this mitigating shit out.

Can all of the All Japan talent be escorted to the ring by Sonny Onoo? I'd like that very much.

I doubt they'd send over any guys already on TV, but some of the NXT talent could really benefit from a tour or two of Japan - and hey, a disappointing stay in the US worked wonders for Okada

Genius, they can repackage him with an ever so timely "Rise Above Quake" T Shirt and off he goes to reshape the Japanese wrestling industry.
It will be hard to let him go but I think we'll manage.

I think I would like to see Cena vs Muta. That'd be a wacky match. Looking at the AJPW roster, I only recognize a few people. I've watched a few of the NOAH vs NJPW matches over the past few years and the occasional American guy I want to see over there, but I've been completely out of puro for years now. I got into it for a bit and completely lost interested in anything besides puro video games.
But Cena vs Muta I'd totally watch. Or Muta vs Dolph, just to see how much crazier each selling of the 23 Shining Wizards gets. A Mark Henry path of destruction highlight video could be nice, I guess.

I'm always surprised that AJPW is still around.
They've seemed permanently stuck to third place since Baba died, and I figured they'd just keel over when Mutoh retired.

Muta's pretty much done wrestling, and his knees are shot to hell. He's already 'passed the torch' to Naito. Something older WWE guys and a lot of Japanese guys don't seem to know how to do.

I would totally go for Cena vs Muta in a WWE ring, would be crazy to see - although it would be really cool to see Muta face one of WWE's supernatural characters like Kane or Taker.
I guess this'd be my fantasy AJPW vs WWE card;

Yeah, they seemed to just be going nowhere for most of the past decade, but they've been doing a lot better recently. Everything seems to be finally coming together now and I think we'll see NOAH fall firmly into 3rd place territory, if they aren't there already.
Those match times are terribly specific.
This is not the first time you thought about this, isn't it?
I had forgotten about this. Thanks for the update!
Whatever, he's a pro wrestler. He'll never be done. His knees have been shot since 1996. I think he can do Muta spectacle matches into his 70s if he wanted to.
I think Sheamus would be awesome in Japan, actually. Big, clubbing gaijin with a unique look even among gaijin? I think he'd mesh very well with strong style wrasslin.

Yeah, when he's wrestling as Keiji Mutoh the fans expect more, but as Muta it's really all about his mannerisms and the mist antics, so it doesn't matter as much if he can't hit the big moonsault or whatever.
Hah, no, they're entirely arbitrary, I assure you

I can see something like the Great Muta getting inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame as part of the agreement if it's true.

Line-up for SHINE 3 live worldwide on September 21st via iPPV;
http://wwnlive.com/event-shine-09-21-12.html - $9.99 - 8PM EST | 1AM GMT
The last two SHINE shows were both great, looking forward to this one. Jazz vs Rain should be good, Rain is really underrated. Interested in Mia Yim vs Jesicka Havok as well. Mia's made a ton of progress in the past year, while Havok was impressive in her debut against Reby Sky on the last iPPV.
Also, the line-up for the next Pro-Wrestling Guerrilla show on October 27th, 'Failure to Communicate';
That title match should be seriously awesome, and Generico is the perfect opponent for Rich Swann's PWG debut.
That'd be a cool deal, I'd love to see guys likes Baba, Jumbo & Hansen inducted as well.

The AJPW guys can join that Japanese guy in WWE doing absolutely fuck all. Funnily enough, I forgot his name because that's how many times I've seen him on TV.
Round 1 Matches:
The Colony (Green Ant, Fire Ant & assailANT) vs. Sendai Girls (Meiko Satomura, Dash Chisako & Sendai Sachiko)
The Batiri (Obariyon, Kodama & Kobald) vs. 3.0 & Akuma
Osaka Pro (Kikutaro, Ebessan & Takoyakida) vs. F.I.S.T. (Chuck Taylor, Johnny Gargano & Icarus)

Team WWF (Aldo Montoya, Tatanka & 1-2-3 Kid) vs. The Extreme Trio (Jerry Lynn, Too Cold Scorpio & Tommy Dreamer)
Who is the secret team to face The Spectral Envoy? Does Trio H actually show up?
No, he's retired and cut his hair and thinks that all of these indie guys couldn't draw money if it was printed and handed out in stacks to them.

Yoshi 'none of the writers like me' Tatsu;
Shame they didn't run with a feud with Tensai for him - would have been immeasurably better for both guys than the shit they've done, or more accurately, haven't done with them since.
Tensai?
hehehehehehe
BAH GAWD KING, THEY CLONED BATISTA.
Heh, I remember him from WCW Mayhem. lol

I remember he was supposed to go kinda heel with the facepaint...then I don't remember seeing much of him after that.
Come to think, I haven't seen Yoshi in a LONG time.

He was the first victim of the returning Barrett Barrage, a noble demise to be sure.

Take em on the road, house showin' - enhancement talent can be a good gig if you 'know your place' - just look at Bull Pain.
I thought his mini-feud with Kidd was enjoyable. But they've botched Albert's return pretty badly. I don't think they had any idea what to do outside building him up early, and feeding him to Cena.
I must had not been paying attention or went out for a little bit.
