Nakamura is fast becoming my favourite wrestler whom I've never seen wrestle.

"Bryan doesn't sell merch"
"Bryan doesn't put asses in the seats at house shows"
I don't buy these arguments either. His merchandise is fucking terrible. NOBODY would wear that shit.
For the record, I just wore the original YES! YES! YES! shirt on Friday. It's a good shirt, but all the flying goat and respect the beard shit is, well, shit.

Anyone have any other ideas?
Wrestlemania X. Batista as Luger, Orton as Yoko, Kane as Owen, Bryan as Bret.
If Batista's guaranteed the title, he gets it at the beginning of the show and loses it at the end.

Anyone else tired of Foley taking over for being the voice of the voiceless with his commentary, or is it just me? Maybe i'm over Foley...
Well, since Punk's not around, isn't he really the voice of the voice of the voiceless?

I'm so happy to see Harper getting so much love. I saw (I think) his last pre-WWE match with Chikara, and it was a great slugfest with the War King Eddie Kingston.
The announcers were putting him over too. At least, in my mind, calling him the new Brody is putting him over.
It's also a bit of a clever nod to his indy name.

Counting his match as the main event of the Rumble because the Rumble is a special situation, Orton has now won 7 out of the last 9 ppv main events. The two he didn't win were a no-contest and a loss that was overturned the next night. That also means 6 out of the last 8 main event title matches have been won by the heel (since he was a face during MitB so that doesn't count.)

So, how fucking amazing was Nick Bockwinkel?
I went on a bit of a Bockwinkel binge last night and watched him vs. Lawler in Memphis and the hour broadway with Hennig at the Showboat. Jesus, the guy was amazing on the mic, bumped like a champ, had a great mat game, killer conditioning, AND was amazing into his early 50's. He really was like Ric Flair before Ric Flair was Ric Flair. I'd also say that, at the top of his last big run, he was a better Ric Flair than Ric Flair.
This might be an ignorant question, but are there many (any?) Bockwinkel/Race matches on tape? I can barely even find any mention of them ever meeting in the ring.

Serious question: with the Network launching and all the amazing young talent emerging, are we on the verge of a new boom period?
ARE YOU REFERRING TO ARM CANNONS WHEN YOU SAY BOOM BECAUSE IF SO I THINK WE ARE, YES.
So you're saying Cesaro stole Kofi's gimmick?
-
You know, since Batista left 4 years ago, a lot of the younger fans just don't know him - or maybe just know him from his Hollywood Dave period. It's not like he was elevated to Rock-like Icon status by the WWE during his absence - before he came back they hardly ever mentioned him.

From todays update
--The Miz and Maryse were earlier this week. I think it was yesterday.
Dave is a Time Lord. It's all a bit timey-wimey.

I had the best worst idea watch a Raw Tuesday - Reigns/Taker at WM31, Reigns wins, only to be swarmed by Druids and carried off. He appears the next night on Raw as the new Undertaker, revealing it to be a spirit that chooses its host.
Taker entering the HOF would be the reason it decided to move on.
I swear I had this EXACT thought during Raw a couple of weeks back.
This is an amazing idea. The Undertaker as a pro wrestling Dr. Who. Vince should slap a copyright on that yesterday.
DOCTOR Who, ya fuckin' savage.
You mean The Doctor. Doctor Who is Peter Cushing.

Is anyone else concerned to find that we graduated a squadron of child geniuses from Princeton around 1958 and that they were overseen by some sort of shadowy condor?
Don't tell Chikara.
-
Someone tell me who the hell I'm supposed to put in this March Madness thing from TNA. I tried watching videos on Youtube and I almost gave up on the whole thing. Now I'm thinking of filling in their spots with people from Wrestling Is Anal Leakage.
Aren't we getting Davey Richards/Ken Anderson in the first round? I have my campaign buttons all polished and everything.
-
I can't bring myself to hate that.
It's not much different from a regular tombstone - he's basically coming down with his hands resting gently on the exterior posterior protuberance.
-
At this point, I'd rather Alberto Del Rio break Batista's arm at Elimination Chamber and have HIM headline WM against Orton.
Bite your tongue!

I'm trying to avoid a three-way main event with my fantasy booking. Not sure how you shoehorn Bryan into the main event without the title belt in hand.
Batista is being advertised for a house show in Winnipeg on March 7. Not sure if he's worked any yet.
He did a house show recently as part of a six man tag, I think. I'm guessing they're keeping him out of the ring on TV to a) keep some of the "returning star" luster on him, and b) avoid having him get booed.
-
At the time I was thinking that Kevin Sullivan was obvious. Cause he had previous experience as a Satanic cult leader.
King Curtis too. Austin vs. the Ministry of Doom.
-
What if Vince handn't been the Higher Power? Who else would have fit in the story?
Linda. Vince then has to face the fact that, while he's an evil sumbitch, his wife was willing to sacrifice her daughter to the dark gods to get her way.
-
Honestly, for about a minute, I was trying to figure out when Shawn Michaels ever superkicked any of the divas.
I thought it was Shawn and Bryan at first.

I thought Bryan got married a month or two back? Or were those wedding photos in the picture thread from something else?
Engagement photos.

But WWE has shown amazing restraint in not doing so. With how much Cena makes lame jokes you'd think he'd have made some comments by now but I don't remember any happening.
I don't know if they'd want Cena to, ahem, shit on the selling point of one of their PPVs.
-
What if Beefcake doesn't have the parasailing accident, ends up taking the IC title from Hennig, and built up for a program with Hogan?
Does Von Erich leave quicker without the IC title push?
IIRC the idea behind putting the title on him was to keep him motivated, so probably, yeah.
But what if Kerry hadn't no-showed his start date with WCW? What do they do with him?
Renegade v. 0.9?

It's hard to say, because these things usually only come to light after someone dies, like Umaga.
But I have to think Kurt would be in even worse shape.

All I've found listed for Bock vs. Race was a 45 minute draw from 1969 in Amarillo. Doubt that will show up anywhere.
