The free download of the week over at IVPvideos.com is The Best of Stan Hansen v.01;

http://new.ivpvideos2.com/product_info.php?products_id=9238

• Stan Hansen vs. The Destroyer (10/30/75)
• Stan Hansen vs. Ashura Hara (1/15/82)
• Stan Hansen vs. Shohei "Giant" Baba (PWF Title, 9/8/83)
• Stan Hansen & Bruiser Brody vs. Jumbo Tsuruta & Genichiro Tenryu (Real World Tag League finals, 12/12/83)
• Stan Hansen & Terry Gordy vs. Genichiro Tenryu & Toshiaki Kawada (Real World Tag League finals, 12/16/88)
• Stan Hansen vs. Mitsuhara Misawa (Champion Carnival finals, 4/17/92)

Some freaking awesome matches there - the PWF title match is one of Baba's last great matches, in no small part thanks to Stan, while those two tag matches rank among the best I've ever seen. I especially love '88 RWTL final, Hansen & Gordy didn't team that often, but they work so well together. Finally, Stan's series of matches with Misawa in '92 were so important to Misawa's career, and the CC '92 final is one of their best.

Mark Henry is staying at the Sheraton by LAX. Just saw him at Starbucks in the hotel lobby.
I didn't bother him, he didn't look like he was in a good mood. Also he is so god damn big!!!!!!

Should have snapped a pic but my phone was back at my office.

 

[Mr. Sam]

He'll be right there with Dwayne, Austin, HBK, and Dean Malenko.

What a weirdly eclectic list.

And thank you guys for the orgasm gifs. They're going in the folder. The orgasm folder.

 

[Aiii]

Well said. Just about covers everything good in the past week.

Punk's fantastic. Ten years from now, Punk will be looked at as one of the all-time greats. He'll be right there with Dwayne, Austin, HBK, and Dean Malenko.

Agreed, but WWE will still try to retcon John Cena above them all.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

I just caught up with RAW and I'm utterly shocked by how bad the ending was. It's nice to have someone new to fight for the belt, but fucking Ryback? The man can't go 5 minutes without nearly killing somebody (no matter what size they are), how's he meant to work a PPV main even? He dropped a dude on his head last week and they decide to reward him with a megapush because of Vince's idiotic muscle fetish.

The lead up was even worse, if you want to push somebody as a new opponent for Punk then why not have him destroy his previous adversary who needs to take time off? Punk worked his ass off to look like a legitimate threat for once then you have the megaface make him look like a total idiot. The man's meant to be an inspiration for their younger fanbase and instead of teaching them to swallow their pride and be the bigger man you're telling them to brutalise people with lethal weapons. Cena walking away would have made Punk look great, Cena getting beat down would have made Punk look great, Punk turning his back and giving Cena the chance to get the better of him makes himself look like an moron. Him then attacking Foley despite his injury rather than waiting for Cena to come back stage after he just gave his weapon to a fan also doesn't make him look like the smartest man in the world.

After how great King of Trios was and how solid the first couple of hours of RAW were that conclusion left a really bitter taste in my mouth. Also "Real men wear pink!" from Cena was cringe-worthy given his history of calling men homosexuals based on what they wear.

Holy rat dick, this is a hell of a promo. Watch it folks!

 

[Toki767]

I really doubt Punk/Ryback will main event Hell in a Cell. It'll probably be some Raw main event that sets up Punk/Cena at the PPV.

 

[Aiii]

Now I feel bad for kinda liking The Ryback.

 

[Mr. Sam]

Ryback will not be main eventing any pay-per-views - at most, he'll be Punk's little TV feud while Cena' elbow heals up, or he'll just have a match with Punk. Cena will be fighting Punk at Hell in a Cell; I guarantee it.

 

[MightyHealthy]

Maybe I'm being too positive, because I also liked Smackdown.

Last Friday's SmackDown was probably my favorite episode in a long while.

Probably, but at least he is moving up there.

I think that Seattle vs Greenbay game really effected the ratings for yesterdays Raw.

 

[slightconfuse]

So if you have not seen the match of the year, then here is a sneak peek

[Alucard]

I'm a Rybacker!

 

[Enfinit]

I only like Ryback when he doesn't have pink eye.

 

[bangai-o]

lol at you Rybackers. just wait until he puts Punk out for six months.

[Perspicacity]

Have you ever seen a Raw without Punk?
It's not a pretty sight.

 

[Kyoufu]

I want to buy some new shirts but I fear the customs rape ;_;

eBay? I wish there were a better alternative but I think that's the best it gets.

They're running a 25% off orders up to $60 deal at wweshop.....should cover customs if international orders are included.

None of your assumptions here are the assumptions anyone else here has made. We all thought it pretty obvious that they're just having Ryback occupy his time until the PPV match with Cena.

Some of you are so weird and angry at nothing sometimes.

 

[slightconfuse]

speaking of tag teams kaz and daniels are still amazing. TNA today is amazing

Is WWE Euro Shop still a thing?

When it was a thing, it was an abomination. It's no longer a thing.

It only sold British Bulldog tassels and William Regal Hard Hats.

Are they doing free downloads every week? That's awesome.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

Just watched Raw, I love what they re doing with the tag team division but feel the PTP really deserved a run with the belts they've been awesome recently and now they will be on superstars at best most likely seeing as Rhodes Scholars will be challenging for the titles

I didn't even notice it vanish, good riddance to bad rubbish.

Having Kane and Bryan at the top will "raise the waters" of the entire tag division. PTP have plenty of time to make it to the titles, but it will be even better if the division is much more notable.

Heading the PPV might of been hyperbole but it certainly looks like they pushing him into a feud with their current champion and if for some reason Cena isn't cleared to compete by then it sure looks like he'll be the stand in. I'm annoyed with them pushing someone into a feud with the current champ solely because he looks like a roid-monster in spite of him being unable to work and being a risk to his partners (clearly these reasons aren't enough) in an industry with a long standing history of drug abuse.

Thanks for the insult though, I think calling me weird really added a lot to your post.

The 9/24 edition of Raw averaged 3,787,000 viewers, dropping significantly from last week.

Hour 1: 3,769,000
Hour 2: 3,990,000
Hour 3: 3,603,000

This is the first time in the history of regular three hour Raws that it has never topped 4 million viewers, and the lowest rating the third hour has ever seen.

Hilarious the best 3 hour raw did that rating which is a 2.72. I think the monday night football game really damaged there ratings.

 

[Skilotonn]

There was someone in Gears 3 with RYB4CK as his gamertag about 5 minutes ago - he's spreading even further.

Definitely because of the football match.

Monday night football, plus the return of network TV. Which reminds me, I still need to watch How I Met Your Mother.

Fantastic. Stan Hansen matches are always a treat to watch.

 

[Kyoufu]

2.7 rating.

Heel Punk is finished.

 

[strobogo]

I can't wait for FEED ME MORE/CENA SUCKS chants when they're both in the ring for a promo segment. And then how Cole spins it. I think it is definitely going to happen in the next few weeks. Either Ryback comes out to save Cena from a beat down (lol), or Cena talks Ryback up during a main event promo. And the crowd is totally into Ryback instead of Cena because they're given a choice between poopy frazzle monkey frankin sticks and a giant bad ass muscle freak. It should be awesome.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

How long until the Raw and SD streams cross?

 

[Mr. Enigma]

2.7 for Raw? lmao

 

[Sokantish]

It makes sense, most Packer fans are probably wrestling fans.

 

[Uno Venova]

Damn, every time we like a raw, it's a low rated one.
