Oooh new thread!
Looking forward to Fastlane to see Wrestlemania take shape a bit more and of course NJPW Strong Style Evolved after promising myself I'd try to watch more NJPW after Wrestle Kingdom 12 I failed to watch more NJPW after Wrestle Kingdom 12

Taker vs Cena on Wrestlemania is confirmed
Everything with Taker is like 10 years too late. But whatever, still had to be done I guess.

After the proper send off last year I don't know why Taker is coming back

Maybe a request from Cena
Yeah that's quite possible, it is one of the few remaining dream matches just wish it would have happened sooner
Although I'm a bit of a hypocrite because I'd pay to see Undertaker vs Sting

I hope Undertaker returns with the biker gimmick. That would be awesome. Maybe he just retired the Deadman gimmick at last Wrestlemania.

Kid Rock is going in the hall of fame so perhaps we'll get American Badass

I think its a virtual certainty that KR will play a live version of the song during his entrance. Actually looking forward to it more than the match. Hopefully he comes out tonight to respond to Cena and build something to look forward to beyond the entrance.

Just saw this today and thought I'd share it. An interesting watch and useful if you need an in-depth explanation to other people why you enjoy watching pro wrestling. Also note the Tekken 4 music at 15:00.

Did you all see Enzo Amore and the rap video he made on WSHH? He 'buried' any chance of coming back to the WWE. It was hilarious.

It reminded me of a movie I was rented called ankle biters. Dwarf sized vampires. Couldn't look away despite how bad it was.
On a different topic, what the hell is going on with the Universal Championship? I am a big fan of Brock and his title run, but I saw a rumor he may not defend until Summerslam. Seth is doing great as IC champ, but the UC belt needs to show up on Raw at least a couple times a month.

I think Brock being an absent champ is hurting the title. The IC title is where tha action is at on RAW.
Did you all watch the Buddy vs Cedric match on 205 live? It was fucking amazing. And they were given like 40 min. Great match. I have been watching NXT and 205 much more religiously than Raw or Smackdown.
NickFire

No, I don't pay 205 or NXT much attention. I've been to one NXT show last winter which was great, but not enough time to keep up with NXT or 205.

I think the writing of stories and in ring action are actually better than the main roster. You should at least try and watch the NXT Chicago Takeover PPV. Ricochet and The Velveteen Dream match may be my match of the year. And the Undisputed Era along with War Raiders are taking over the tag division. It's been amazing. I'm like the opposite. I can't devote 5 hours to the main shows every week. But 2 hours is just right for me not to get burnt out. I do watch all the PPVs and NJPW so it can be a lot.

See I can when you can DVR the main shows. You can’t DVR NXT or 205 Live which is the main reason I don’t tune into those anymore.

Kota or ZSJ, maybe Tanahashi

ZSJ is an interesting pick. He's really stepped things up recently and I really enjoyed his New Japan Cup run. I don't see him winning G1 but certainly wouldn't object to it. Also, I met him at a show recently and he was really cool.

I can't see Tanahashi winning it. The man's broken. He needs years off.

Seth just got busted open by Ziggler. Kinda slow but building nicely.

Yeah they made us all think Braun was gonna cash in to make people stay in the arena for the main event. Becky should have done this like 2 years ago IMO. But I also like 'Mella so hehe. Yeah a few good matches ruined by some bad parts. Overall... NXT Takeover >>>> SummerSlam

Signed up for NJPW world to watch this. Great show IMO. Matches were all pretty entertaining, and every EVERY performer looked good in the end. Did nothing to make people look pathetic the way that so many of the Summerslam matches did last month. I was worried when I saw it was 4 hours and planned to watch half this morning and half tonight, ended up sitting through the whole match. Only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the postmatch Hangman stuff, mainly cause I'm not a fan of
Joey Ryan and the penis stuff
DKehoe
Member
I really enjoyed the variety of the show. It's a pity the main event had to be cut short because of time constraints, but it was still spectacular. The surprise with
Jericho's appearance
I wasn't the biggest fan of the thing you mentioned either, I don't watch Being The Elite so that stuff comes across to me as a little too inside joke for me, there was a part of me that enjoyed the sheer ridiculousness of it though.
I'm curious to see what those guys do next.

It was a good show. No bad matches. The penis stuff was goofy though.

I missed "Zero Hour" where can I watch that? Saw all the main show but saved the last two matches for tonight. All I can say is congratulations to the YB and crew. Fantastic show, indy or not. That Omega match and all those head drops had me like

Even though I hate to post rubbish from the other site I couldn't resist this absolute gem of stupidity.
Apparently Kair Hojo's pirate princess gimmick is a step too far in an entertainment medium filled with wacky characters such as a bloke who is apparently undead and occasionally would ride around on a motorbike. This Undead Motorbike Bloke also has a 'brother' he attempted to murder via arson but was unsuccessful. The brother's face was badly burned due to this incident so he became a professional wrestler which would allow him to confront Undead Motorbike Bloke in the ring instead of having him arrested like a normal person would. As it later transpired, Burned Face Brother wasn't even burned in the fire, he just had some light makeup applied to his face.
But Kairi's pirate princess gimmick, nah, that's where this poster draws the line. It's far too daft for wrestling. Also note that liking her apparently means you fetishise her because you are a disgusting, perverted male who enjoys otaku culture. Not because you enjoy seeing a performer capable of wrestling and engaging with the fans.

Yeah the pirate gimmick is fine. There's been way worse than that over the years.
Plus she's cute as a button.

Renee Young is now a full time member of the Raw announce team. Coach has been bumped to the pre-PPV show.

I'd rather neither of them be on commentary to be completely honest. Renee has never done it for me, whether it was as a personality on The Score here in Canada or on NXT. Not a fan in the slightest.

I didn't think Renee was that great last week on Raw, she did a few annoying things. She's still better than Coach though.

I haven't tuned in for a couple of weeks for the WWE product, but have never enjoyed Renee in her brief other stints on commentary. BUT Coach somehow hit Otunga/JBL levels of awful commentator to me. Maybe it would have been a solid time to go back to a two man booth for the time being. BUT WOMEN'S REVOLUTION!!!!!

Good for him. He’s worked for a long long time, had some fun and did more then likely he ever imagined. It’s really a shame that the WWE didn’t fully embrace the Broken character more cause wrestling really does need some just wtf stuff in between all the boring serious stuff. Wish him the best, he’s looked really rough this last year, he can make a difference behind the scenes for sure, maybe performance center
