That whole Cena-Roman promo that got a lot a buzz seemed pointless if you think about.

Can vouch for him doing it often
Also that Del Rio double turn was pretty good
at the time
just completely ignore everything that happened in the rest of both their careers

PETA is fucked up period. There are far better ways to advocate for animal rights.
The thing Ziggler is best at is wasting opportunities
I don't even consider PETA an animal rights group considering they kill most of the animals they take in

I've always wondered are there any humane/good, or at least not batshit crazy as PETA, alternatives to PETA? I've heard some stuff about the Humane Society and ASPCA both killing some animals or at least supporting kill shelters

Aight, I am going to watch AJPW consistently. It is time. Should I just start at the Summer Exposition show and be good to go?
I don't care if she's still "green" bring her over Hunter
Believe it or not I don't think every Japanese wrestler wants to come to the States.

You can take your dogpiling on hatred for other posters to PM if that makes you happy, but I'm not interested in having a discussion topic about it in here, do you understand?

Data, what is it about Kimura that makes you enjoy her so much? Like I think she's pretty good, but you seem really high on her.

Since you've still got a couple weeks before the next AJPW show becomes available, I would advise watching the main event run of Ishikawa starting on 5/21, then watch his defenses and Miyhara's matches that led to their rematch at Summer Explosion. So basically Ishikawa/Miyahara from May then Ishikawa/Jake Lee and Miyahara/Suwama on 6/11 and Ishikawa/Suwama and Miyahara/Doering on 7/17.
Extra bonus points if you watch the tag title matches on those cards.
But if you only have time for one, Summer Explosion should be a good start even if it was uneven(main and tag title delivered big time).

Shoot: Tekken is more "World Warrior" than Street Fighter.
Because their roster actually has people talk in their respective country's language, where as Street Fighter, the characters talk in stereotyped speeches.

She's at home in the ring and in front of an audience in a way that no rookie has been. She seems as confident in front of 10 people as she does in front of a 100. Her mom is super talented.
and she's hot

Not really wrong outside of the pipe bomb and Bryan's push.
...Get 'im, Gravy! Stab him in the groin!
Even those two got a lot of buzz and ended up being pointless in the end
They're very consistent at having a cool moment and proceeding to follow it up TERRIBLY.
But the pipe bomb itself and the visual of Bryan going over at Mania 30 will be remembered for years to come, and there's not really anything else that has happened in WWE over the last 10 years that comes close.

vince vs ko on the mic should be really fun
Bryan's story ultimately changing nothing feels like a really intentional Vince McMahon decision to me. This is the same Vince that decided to have the most audience killing energy sucking loss in history two matches before one of the biggest face wins ever.
I still maintain that Taker's streak ending was Vince trying to kill Bryan's moment

Wrestlemania 2000 showed him that nothing matters.

She definitely has presence. And she is starting to put it together in the ring. I think she still has a little ways to go before she's established, but she's on her way of her trajectory of improvement continues.
my favorite retired years ago and sadly never came back
oh and most joshis do want to go to WWE because there's no upper trajectory for them in Japan. Toyota wouldn't obviously because she already got to be big time. There is no big time in modern Japan for womens wrestling. It's why they retire so young.

The thing is though that Bryan's story did change stuff to some degree backstage. Meltzer has mentioned a few times that Bryan proving he could get over to the level he did gave Vince more of a belief of guys of that size. Like do you really think we would have seen guys like AJ and Owens be pushed to the level they have even as recently as 5 years ago? When Bryan came in he was treated like a joke. When AJ came in, with a similar level of talent and similar background, he was treated like a star. Especially relative to Bryan.
He believed in Bryan and people of his size so much that the main event of Wrestlemania the following year was Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar

I don't think I have ever heard Santino talk in his real voice until now.
If in Canada, you can watch him regularly on Sportsnet's Aftermath before RAW and Smackdown,

Just because he's not pushing them as the top of the top doesn't mean that he doesn't think more of them now than he did a decade ago.
Kevin Owens would have been lucky to be a job guy in 2008.

Man
I'm almost positive there were a few people saying, even the second that cash-in happened, that this was just delaying the inevitable
And here we are, about to have Reigns/Brock main event another Mania, again, just to have the right result happen finally this time. Nothing's going to stop it.
Honestly, I don't remember if I said it at the time, but I'm damn sure going to say it now: it wasn't worth it, and we should have just gotten it over with then

This is conveniently leaving out how Bryan nearly crippled himself in the following months due to his carny obsession with wrestling. That's not on Vince at all.He believed in Bryan and people of his size so much that the main event of Wrestlemania the following year was Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar
But I like it when people talk about me
