Does Punk need a rematch? It would have to be a stip match without Heyman interfering (loved the shark cage idea), but I think Punk would be fine if they didn't bother. He fought like a god damned man last night, looked like a bad ass for the first time in forever.
-
I'd save both the Cena rematch and the Brock encounter until this chase is done and Bryan's even more established. A match between those two would be fucking insane though.
-
Ah, right. Thanks!
Bryan potatoed Cena all night long. That busted nose/mouse was a nasty little combination.
-
Cena was kneeling down, wasn't he? Like how Nakamura's opponents are when he hits his knee strike.
Either way, this was a wonderfully booked main event and I'm excited about WWE for the first time since MITB '11. This has been a fantastic month of wrestling, I picked a good month to get back into it.
-
It was flat because WWE fans are conditioned a certain way in regards to finishes. But the the best way to get it over right directly? Knock the superhero champion the fuck out with it. See also: Bomber, Axe.
Yeah, I get that logic. And the crowd was already waning at that point to be fair.
-
I find it interesting that Bryan did a bunch of bridges last night and there was that Davey Hart Smith YT video posted a while back saying that bridges were a no-no when he was with WWE.
While I really liked the idea of debuting a new finisher to put away super Cena and the move gets instant credibility, the three count fell flat with the crowd and the group of people I watched with were all taken aback that what just happened actually transpired. Love the Boma Ye as a finish in WWE, though. I also agree with the notion that those two have a better match in them, hopefully after Bryan's done chasing the Orton/HHH faction at Mania, and Bryan isn't quite the underdog he was here. Somebody mentioned that Cena/Bryan must've been watching the G1, and I certainly concur. The slap exchange to kick off the final third of the match was playing up the stuff from Monday but also straight out of the modern Japanese formula.
-
I thought Undertaker started to get good around the period of the Mankind feud. He became vulnerable and thus turned up the tempo of his attack.
-
Heyman wanted the Hollywood Blonds but WCW wasn't willing to give them up (it was just before Spring Stampede '94 and they were both in title matches), so they sent down Bobby'n'Arn and it worked out well for them. The Funk and Anderson promos were golden, as you'd expect.
-
I think Winger took most of the deadly bumps in the match.
I couldn't get past this one:
The Rock & Roll Express, Ricky Fuji beat The Crypt Keeper, The Boogie Man & Freddy Krueger
-
Question: Is the only thing differentiating the silly contracts early WCW wrestlers were getting in '88 (and late JCP days too) from the guaranteed contracts Hall and Nash got from WCW in '96 that the latter got paid regardless of whether they were injured or not? Because Ole Anderson sure makes them sound the same sort of deal. Guys weren't getting paid percentages of the house but had guaranteed moneys.
-
That Awesome/Smith sui dive is one of the best spots I've ever seen. It looked like Awesome broke his back over the guardrail but Smith stated on his shoot (yeah, he did one) that it didn't hurt him at all.

Norwich! Alpha Papa is proud.
Sagna takes the late '90s All Japan style head drop.
-
Give it a few years. They're working on the knee cappin' loan sharks at the moment.
-
Oh man. This is going to be good.
-
Not a great call, but still. Sets up the last half hour nicely.
-
What's the best version of Sid? I fucking loved Survivor Series '96 Sid but that version ended with him shitting in Taker's face as he receives a Tombstone. Shirley, he must lose points for that.

He looked good when it was packed in the Stoke box. He struggled with more space in the middle third though. Pretty nervous first game but you can't judge much from one match other than he is an E.T. lookin' mother fucker.
Also, I like Willian but I don't think he's 30-35 million pounds good. He'd be great with Coutinho though, as he provides that element of pace that's lacking in our attack outside of Sturridge and the odd cameo from Raheem (though, he's got more acceleration than flat-out pace).
How terrible are Stoke though? What a team.

I know the Kop has been guilty of stealing some bad songs, but this needs to be adopted.

Buddy Rose love affair continues:
The fans in Portland were great.
-
During. It was after his match against Dan Severn during the '98 KOTR qualifier he started using it. He won the Euro belt in July. So, technically, before and during.
Discovering the greatness that is mid-to-late '70s Buddy Rose, that is so much better than morbidly obese Buddy.
Although...

What about Henke's charity dinner for the Foundation to Buy the Larsson's a Second Gold Shark Tank?
I really like Larsson but that was scummy.
-
WOW. Apparently Monaco is already getting ready to sell Falcao in Janaury in order to balance their books.
What a giant joke.

SECOND PLACE. SECOND PLACE. *rocks back and forth naked in the dark corner* Manchester United 1 - Liverpool 4. *rock, rock*
Hey, remember when Aly Cissokho was supposed to be the best young left back in football?

FWIW there are plenty of anti-gay preachers who suggest that gays should go through life celibate and miserable rather than, you know, fall in love and find that right person for themselves,
In the grand scheme of things, I suppose that should be considered progress in terms of preachers' views on homosexuality.
Also, I thoroughly enjoy Philly crowds. Now, whichever crowd started the "Husky Harris" chants for Bray Wyatt can fuck off. Wait, that sounds exactly like something Philly fans would do. *torn*

I can't not get that out of my head. All of their weight coming down on his head like that. What was the extent of his injuries?
