They might have dropped the "Bryan has been kidnapped angle"... 

"WWE.com sources and eyewitnesses said that after The Wyatt Family hauled Bryan off, they unceremoniously threw him out into the Nassau Coliseum parking lot."

 

 

 

Sounds like a funny video. But why are the Wyatts driving? Shouldn't the bigger dudes be hooked to a rickshaw as the fat one rides in it?

I will put this here too (I also put it in the RAW thread)

 

 

--In the weekly HHH interview with Michael Cole, he clarifies that the 12/15 Randy Orton vs. John Cena main event is a title unification match and the company's goal is to have only one champion.  He said there is no more need to have two champions.

 

 

Didn't their website say earlier that it wasn't going to be a unification match? I don't know who to believe now!

So I saw somewhere in the twitterverse that Kaitlyn is now engaged. If anyone needs me I'll be drinking the pain away.

 

You should show up at the wedding. With a snake.

 

 

Don't listen to him.  You might be the center of her world for a little while, but you'll only end up getting your ass kicked by her husband, forgotten, then roaming around a hopeless alcoholic waiting to be saved by DDP Yoga.

Per the observer, David Benoit, along with Cody Hall, is trying to get into the New Japan dojo. His ultimate goal is WWE.

 

One thing (only thing?) working in his favor is that he's, like, 6'2.

the one time when the WWE disconnecting a guy from his family name is undoubtedly best for business. If they think they could employ him at all

 

Judging by the pictures of him, he's getting a hillbilly gimmick.

Even if it is a unification match at TLC, you know both are pulling each other's belts down or something screwy. When as a PPV not ended since SummerSlam with something stupid happening? Controversy at TLC~! Oh no, whatever will we do?

 

I am glad they dropped the Bryan has been kidnapped angle. Have them throw him in a dumpster or parking lot, the Wyatts kidnapping people is just not gonna work.

He has a good story that could be used to get him over. Someone trying to redeem his family name and overcome the sins of his father.

I don't know, I actually think Cena is going to unify the belts. Maybe there is a screwy finish at TLC but then they have a rematch at Royal Rumble.

 

How do you feel about John Cena © vs. Anti-hero Roman Reigns at WrestleMania XXX?

 

How do you feel about John Cena © vs. The Undertaker and The Streak at WrestleMania XXX?

 

How do you feel about John Cena © vs. John Cahill at WrestleMania XXX?

Obviously Johnny Gargano doesn't apply the Pedigree one-one-hundredth as well as the master, Triple H, who has spent years perfecting it as a finisher, improving it from an ineffective maneuver that couldn't keep the Ultimate Warrior down for one to a move that signals the end for anyone who he hits with it. 

 

I applaud Triple H for honing his craft in this way, and I would advise Johnny Gargano not to think that he can just start doing double-underhook facebusters overnight with the same devastating impact as a multiple-time world champion.

Goes without saying I have a lot of sympathy for the lad and what he's through.

 

But come on, can't he just do something else?

27th November 2013 from TweetList

 
My tips on becoming a Pro Wrestler/Sports Entertainer.It takes a lot more work to being a WWE superstar than an few Pro Wrestling holds and throws. You must develop all your skills and that usually comes from help from more experienced pro's. I never had to be told to ask for help and guidance and never to this day stop working on my skills. Sitting round texting, playing games and whining will get you know where. No one owes you a living.

Firstly,know what you're getting into.Pro Wrestling is a very physically demanding business.If you can't stand pain,hard work or lots of traveling,DON'T WASTE YOURS OR EVERYBODY ELSE'S TIME!

So that I don't come across like a miserable old git (insert joke), I will happily give some free advice to up and coming Pro Wrestlers:

Find a school with a good rep and a trainer who has a great pedigree.
Learn the basics properly.Get and stay in good condition,there's a big difference from looking in condition to actually being in condition.I'm a believer in Hindu squats,Hindu push ups and most importantly proper bridging(nose on mat,feet flat on mat).Work hard and have respect for the job.Good manners go a long way.Treat people the way you would like to be treated.Enjoy it.

Now once you are training:

- Make everything you do mean something or don't bother doing it.

- Study the greats and the people who the great ones admire.Very important.
Some very wise words from Jim Ross(J.R)-"If I were a young in ring talent in today's world then DVD study of my predecessors would be a a regular part of my weekly routine just as is going to the gym and eating smartly. Some talents will spend more time 'tanning,' playing video games, etc than watching the work of stars of previous generations which is somewhat pathetic when one thinks about it".


- Get a good base of basics and perfect them.Don't take this for granted.

- Work at perfecting your skills but be honest with yourself. If there are things you don't do well then avoid doing them.

- Try to find someone who will give you an honest answer about your skills. Most people's ego won't allow them to think they do things badly.

- Practice your talking skills. Use a mirror and film yourself and work on every detail, facials, eyes and mannerisms.Learn a one minute promo and perfect it.Now do the same promo with the same words but in as many different emotions you can,happy, mad, sad,glad , grateful,on the verge of a breakdown
indifferent etc.Now when you get good at this you will be able to interchange several emotions in one promo.
- Look to the world to find things that you can use to develop your character. Films, TV shows and anything else that grabs your attention.

- Learn how to read people's emotions. This tip is invaluable. People don't just boo or cheer. You have to learn how to make them.

Only one in a million has the Elvis factor(old reference but I can't think of a better one).If you truly have that quality then you can get away with anything but the majority of us don't so don't take your skills for granted.I believe that that the more time you put into learning the details the better and longer your career will be.

Watch this match and really study everything they do.You should aim for this standard if you are interested in technical wrestling http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6YW9Xcp07s&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I know I'm the last person you want to listen to about physique training but it's very important these days.From seeing how the smart people train now it seems as though compound movements like squats,deadlifts etc build better,more functional,resilient bodies for our business.Bodybuilding movements don't.Like I said,this is just what I see and hear .

Learn from the mistakes of the people who have come before you (including me) and try not to make them.

To make it in the WWE you have to be very adaptable and willing to make any character or opportunity work.Heres some very good advise.Make a list of the worst possible situations and character traits you could be asked to do.Now make up a character and promos involving those traits and work on perfecting that character and promo(on your own otherwise you'll get locked up).Make those things second nature.Now you've taken away some of your fears so whatever you are asked to do should be easier.Dont skip this task.Very few people who come to the WWE end up being the character they envisioned.
.
The most important things you have to make you connect with an audience are your eyes.If you believe in yourself and your persona it will be evident in your eyes.You cannot show any real emotion without your eyes.So,if you're interested in being taken seriously then never wear anything to cover them.This will offend a lot of people but you don't look cool wearing sunglasses indoors.You look a divvy.There are many big stars who have worn them but you'll find most will take them off when they're making a serious point or they just have that special magic that only 1 in a million have.If you need an example of this,do you trust anyone who you meet who can't look you in the eyes?

A tip from Roddy Piper: Always wrestle from your heart.It sounds simply but it's not.Don't play at pro wrestling.

A tip I think will keep you constantly working on your skill set:Go out every night thinking that no one knows you.By doing this you will never take your audience or yourself for granted and show them exactly what you are and what your character is all about. This will keep you working on the details and the true essence of how to tell stories to the people watching.

As far as storytelling goes.Just imagine theres an announcer explaining everything you do to the people watching.Does it make sense?Does it look good? Think about this.When you go to a movie,do you want to see the stuntman jumping out of the helicopter or do you want to imagine its the star.This all ties into trying to perfect the detail of your stuff.If someone is watching Wrestling for the first time,is what you're doing making sense to them.Figure all that out and you should be a lot better at story telling.

Just my opinion but if you want to have a long career then study as many different wrestling styles as many of today's top starts have an international feel to their styles.There are lots of Wrestlers from around the world and you want to be able to wrestle all of them if you want to stay relevant. Study what's going on in the industry as you don't want to be left behind.A lot of the fellas I see that can only do one style seem a bit outdated against some of the talent who have learned different styles.
Everyone takes ideas from others but make them your own. Try to be original. Be a one off.

That's enough for today. Sounds simple enough but very few put those ideas into practice. Use common sense. Everything is in those tweets. Figure them out. In other words don't be a div. I can't hold your hand.

although to screw with conspiracy theorists, David Benoit would fall under the influence of bald Satanist Kevin Sullivan
