I saw the WWF Tag Team Championship Match from Monday Night RAW (props to the Review-A-Wai podcast) where Stone Cold and Hunter unsuccessfully defended the belts against Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit and was blown away by the fact that Triple H allowed Chris Jericho to put him into the Walls of Jericho (on the announce table) after tearing his quad.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I just saw The Two Man Power Trip vs. Canadian Chris Connection video posted, and I hope that it comes up during Paul Heyman and Curtis Axel's next talk about how great The Axe is. "Triple H once infamously tore his quad in a Tag Team Title match and he finished the match -- but he couldn't continue against...CURTIS! AXEL!"

Really want to see Axel vs. Jericho on RAW. I think that match would be a pretty fantastic way to showcase Axel's ring skills. CM Punk's titantron can play and cost Jericho the advantage, allowing Axel to re-gain control. Jericho can make a final comeback and go for the Walls of Jericho, but Axel can inside cradle Jericho, but then roll through and pull Jericho up into a Perfect Plex for the finish. Axel can then, maybe even against Heyman's advice, start calling himself "Better Than the Best!" which can not only offend Jericho, but CM Punk as well.

[Emperor Smeat]

[Emperor Smeat]

As we noted last night in the PWInsider.com Elite section, it is expected that all of the announced CHIKARA dates will shortly be canceled or converted into live events presented by the promotion's "Wrestling Is..." satellite promotions.

CHIKARA the brand, as it stands, has run its last event, at least for some time. No whether that's the end of the promotion or some really intricate angle and storyline remains to be seen.

There was no official announcement as to what was going on in the locker room, although I am told small groups of wrestlers were spoken to over the course of the night. We were also told that the roster was asked to signed non-disclosure agreements before last night's event. Given how secretive CHIKARA is usually with all their plans, I'm not surprised to hear that.

I do know that a number of CHIKARA performers have started reaching out to independent promoters looking for work to replace what were originally CHIKARA dates this summer.

There were several incidents with fans in the wake of the end of the show. One fan was so angry about security forcing him out of the building, he shoulder blocked a glass door and ended up breaking the glass door. I am sure the venue LOVED that. Another fan loudly refused to leave the Trocadero's box office, demanding a refund. He was so disruptive that the venue management was going to call the police to remove him. It was described to me as "the worst stereotypical wrestling fan tantrum you could imagine."

Love Dean Ambrose.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Dean Ambrose vs. Daniel Bryan for the US Title could be a main event right now and I'd buy into it. :drool:

[Mr. Nerfect]

This week on SmackDown, I hope we get a rematch of the six-man tag and Chris Jericho vs. Curtis Axel as main events.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Does anyone else think that Chris Jericho should probably be a World Champion soon just because he's so fucking good and it would be nice to see him with a title again. He doesn't "need" to be a champion, but I kind of feel that sometimes your best wrestlers should be winning the top titles.

Also, Jericho only ever won the World Title once as a babyface, and that is when he defeated The Rock after debuting The Breakdown at No Mercy 2001. It'd be nice to see a "made" Jericho winning the title as a hero to the people.

[Rammsteinmad]

Definitely agree with that. Would love to see Jericho with the WWE title, although I don't think that will happen, but absolutely with the world championship. :y:

[Mr. Nerfect]

I would love to see Jericho as a fighting babyface champion who defends the title against everyone from Dolph Ziggler to Randy Orton to Tyson Kidd. Jericho could breathe so much life into a World Title scene. Heath Slater could interrupt a Jericho promo one night, point out that he beat him once on NXT and make a WWE Title challenge. Jericho could then beat Slater before Drew McIntyre makes a challenge immediately after -- "I'm the Chosen One! You brag about beating three Hall of Famers at WrestleMania XXV. How about you beat me right now?" Jericho then works with McIntyre and beats him with a Codebreaker out of nowhere. Jinder Mahal then gets on the mic and says that if Jericho has got one more match left in him, he cut his teeth in Canada where Jericho was trained and he believes he's got the secret to beating Jericho. Y2J then wins his third match when he manages to roll up Mahal.

It would instantly have me care far more about all three members of 3MB. Totally random example, I know, but Jericho as champ could be gold.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I also think that Jericho should get another run with the WWE Title, since he's only technically held it once. A babyface title victory would be pretty amazing. I think he might be more valuable to the World Heavyweight Title scene though.

Ryback beating John Cena decisively in Three Stages of Hell before moving on to face Jericho would be pretty amazing. Jericho could go over Ryback and then wrestle Daniel Bryan a thousand times for the WWE Title.

[Mr. Nerfect]

A thought about Curtis Axel:

The WWE usually leaves a lot of the behind the scenes stuff behind the scenes, of course, but do you think the WWE could get away with that little bit about Axel helping The Rock prepare for his Royal Rumble 2013 match against CM Punk, where Rock won the title, as perhaps a bit of background information on Axel and what Heyman sees in him?

You have it revealed that The Rock went after Axel as a training partner because he grew up with him in the business and always liked what he saw, but he knew that Axel had a past with CM Punk in New Nexus and knew some of his weak spots. Axel helped The Rock prepare and defeat CM Punk, and sources close to Heyman leaked the information who helped get The Rock to that level again so quickly. Heyman began to research Axel and hired him to be a training partner for Brock Lesnar and after seeing Axel's work decided to represent him. When The Rock shows up, it gives Axel a reason to interact with him, and when Brock Lesnar comes back, it gives Brock a corner buddy. But it could also be used to spark tension between CM Punk and Paul Heyman. "You hired the guy who helped The Rock take the WWE Title from me?"

I know I was ripping on McGuillicutty/Curtis Axel a week or two back, about people only loving him because of the romantic idea that he could achieve the levels of his dad and maybe farther, but after just seeing this I'd love for Hall's kid to get some serious training and go far for pretty much the same reason.

Granted, he interested me more in those 2 minutes than Axel has anytime I've ever seen him.

[Mr. Nerfect]

WWE.com has a pretty interesting look at some forgotten Velocity matches. It's made me miss Paul London.

[Mr. Nerfect]

It's also made me think that Ultimo Dragon could have been more if he had been signed at a different time. If he got some sort of Sin Cara push, he could have been huge.

[Mr. Nerfect]

It's also why I believe that a Cruiserweight Division in the WWE is a bad idea. It's an albatross around smaller guys' necks to be labelled that way than not.

[Mr. Nerfect]

In today's WWE, Ultimo Dragon would have been billed as a "high-flying world warrior" and put over guys like Heath Slater instead of wrestling other guys that would have put over Heath Slater.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Paul London has appeared in three of these matches so far. I'm five in...

[Mr. Nerfect]

I just watched Nunzio defeat Rey Mysterio (albeit in a Fatal 4-Way with Akio and Billy Kidman also involved). Had no clue Nunzio ever did that.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Jamie Noble was such a good smaller act. He oozed personality. I loved his pairing with Nidia. She radiated real slut vibes and seemed super-accessible.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Might be a random suggestion, but I'd really like to see Jamie Noble made the General Manager of RAW or something. Noble coming out in a suit and making it a "Tag team match, boy!" could be pretty entertaining.

Would you prefer Tyson Kidd be a guy chasing the same ultimate goal as John Cena? Because you know... there's 0 percent chance of that happening.

Hey, you know what, a Cruiserweight Division properly booked could be awesome. If Cruiserweight Champion Tyson Kidd was presented as the best wrestler 220lbs or under in the WWE, it might work. As it were, though, Kidd would be Cruiserweight Champion and Dolph Ziggler would be World Heavyweight Champion, despite the fact both are cruiserweights and it would make no fucking sense.

It just depends on whether you want talent to be judged on either skill or size.

If you want to make the Cruiserweight Title for wrestlers 230lbs or under, you can have Dean Ambrose, Chris Jericho and CM Punk grouped in with the division as well. Are we meant to believe that Tyson Kidd can beat them? Guys like Rey Mysterio, Dolph Ziggler, Daniel Bryan, CM Punk, Kofi Kingston, Cody Rhodes and John Morrison are all cruiserweights. How can you explain them going after the WWE Championship or World Heavyweight Championship and yet have other smaller guys fighting each other and convincing people that it means something? Because they're not good enough to break out of the division and fight up?

If the Cruiserweight Title were around, people would be saying the same things you are currently saying about the guys who have managed to avoid the curse of being labelled a "cruiserweight."

Also, for the record, yes, I think Tyson Kidd could be chasing the same goal as John Cena. Do I think he would win it? Not unless he caught fire, but I could definitely see Kidd working a few higher-up matches against the likes of Chris Jericho, Curtis Axel, CM Punk or Daniel Bryan, instead of being given a title for "smaller guys that aren't as good as those other smaller guys."

[Mr. Nerfect]

Since the Cruiserweight Title was retired, I've noticed that there's less of a kayfabe stigma about smaller guys. They're not "mismatched," but they're merely giving up some size and need to make it up with a smart approach. If you want to have Evan Bourne and Tyson Kidd have a bunch of awesome matches on Superstars or Main Event, that's absolutely fine, but if you throw them in a "division," they may never get out.

[#1-norm-fan]

You can have a guy like CM Punk and Dolph Ziggler be lighter than 230 yet not be in the Cruiserweight division. It would blatantly be saying "Alright, the only reason Tyson Kidd is in the division and they aren't is because they have potential to be major main eventers and he doesn't." but that isn't really anything we don't already know. There is no way... absolutely NO WAY that John Cena will ever be chasing Tyson Kidd for the title. Let's be realistic. Kidd is never gonna be THE guy. So why not make a division that he CAN be THE guy in. And if by some crazy chance they decided they wanted someone like Sin Cara or Tyson Kidd or Justin Gabriel to fight with the "big boys", they can graduate to the main event or upper-midcard or feud with a non-cruiserweight guy or whatever they want. They wouldn't be stuck there. Just like Mysterio wasn't stuck in the cruiserweight division.

You can have a guy like CM Punk and Dolph Ziggler be lighter than 230 yet not be in the Cruiserweight division. It would blatantly be saying "Alright, the only reason Tyson Kidd is in the division and they aren't is because they have potential to be major main eventers and he doesn't." but that isn't really anything we don't already know. There is no way... absolutely NO WAY that John Cena will ever be chasing Tyson Kidd for the title. Let's be realistic. Kidd is never gonna be THE guy. So why not make a division that he CAN be THE guy in. And if by some crazy chance they decided they wanted someone like Sin Cara or Tyson Kidd or Justin Gabriel to fight with the "big boys", they can graduate to the main event or upper-midcard or feud with a non-cruiserweight guy or whatever they want. They wouldn't be stuck there. Just like Mysterio wasn't stuck in the cruiserweight division.

I couldn't agree more :y:

Except Rey was stuck in the Cruiserweight Division for years. There are a few exceptions, but a lot of talent wouldn't be given the chance to even cut promos in the Cruiserweight Division.

I didn't say that Tyson Kidd would be THE GUY. Not everybody needs to be THE GUY. I can definitely see Tyson Kidd challenging a heel champion in Calgary with Bret Hart in his corner, though. I can definitely see Kidd facing Chris Jericho and maybe even pulling off a massive upset, though. I could even see Kidd getting a surprising amount of offense in on a Mark Henry type before getting put down by a powerful onslaught and finished. I could see Curtis Axel and Tyson Kidd renewing their rivalry, perhaps even with Kidd eventually joining Axel and Heyman. Paul Heyman could sell Kidd as a heel submission specialist to the WWE Universe. Give him a bodyguard that is less shit than Jackson Andrews and Kidd could work surprisingly well in a similar role to what The Brian Kendrick was playing before he fucked that up.

I completely agree. I still hope that we get Daniel Bryan vs. Randy Orton at Payback, as I feel that could a Match of the Year candidate, and that a win there would launch Daniel Bryan into the stratosphere. He also seems like a pretty logical choice to win a Money in the Bank briefcase this year.

I've taken it upon myself to maintain Curtis Axel's Wikipedia page. They won't change the name of the page from "Michael McGillicutty" to "Curtis Axel" or "Joe Henning".

Could you imagine how hot a Ziggler vs. Bryan match would be at the moment? I mean, Ziggler has been inactive for a bit, but their matches are always so fantastic and with the crowd so into Bryan? Wow.

Ziggler and Daniel had one of the best series of "Champion versus Champion" matches. All of them were consistently good.

The man even fucking challenged for the WCW title against Ric Flair while he was "stuck" in the cruiserweight division. Having a division to be at the top of did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to hamper him and in fact helped his career outside that division in the long run. How is this a bad thing? lol

Why does Vince McMahon think that a last-second rewrite that has no added promotional opportunities is going to do ANYTHING to change the Raw rating? This isn't 1999, and Mankind's not winning the strap.

It's just an appearance by Vince and Stephanie that lasted all of one segment, and there's no one sitting behind the NBA commentary desk that going to give two shits about WWE enough to make a "That'll put butts in seats" comment.

Since the Cruiserweight Title was retired, I've noticed that there's less of a kayfabe stigma about smaller guys. They're not "mismatched," but they're merely giving up some size and need to make it up with a smart approach. If you want to have Evan Bourne and Tyson Kidd have a bunch of awesome matches on Superstars or Main Event, that's absolutely fine, but if you throw them in a "division," they may never get out.
The guys with Main Event potential will always get out. They'll always find a way to catch on and crossover. Especially if you make that the intention of the Division.

I'd love a new Cruiserweight Divison (or something completely different to the current structure like the X Division or Hardcore Divisions were) as I think it'd give renewed focus to the lower card. The major benefit of using the smaller guys is that if Creative can't come up with anything storyline-wise the very least you get is a stellar match per show.

TNA are doing an interesting thing with their Triple Threat X Division setup that gets guys on TV, gives the audience a great 7-10 minute match and can lead to any number of angles if that's the way they wanna go.

Alternatively, you actually give focus back to the Tag Division with stoylines/promo time instead of these random matches here and there.

Some stuff from the dirtsheets:

It appears WWE are planting the seeds for more members of The Wyatt Family to debut on TV. Right now, we know that Bray Wyatt will be coming up with NXT Tag Team Champions Erick Rowan and Luke Harper. The video that aired on Monday also featured what appeared to be NXT wrestler Garrett Dylan and NXT Diva Bayley in minor roles as Wyatt's "followers."

WWE officials are once again interested in pushing the tag team division. Over the next few weeks, we may see several undercard talents put together in new tag teams. This latest tag team kick is part of why The Usos are being pushed to feud with Tag Team Champions The Shield.

So any bets on how long the tag revival lasts this time before the WWE loses interest again.


Also from what I've understand about the CHIKARA mess is that the company split off into around 7 smaller promotions (Wrestling Is coalition). Everything that involved money or backstage issues is indeed true while the hostile or new management takeover is just a work/storyline to keep people interested in the smaller promotions.

I'm guessing it's gonna be The Usos suddenly winning matches left and right for a month just to push them as viable contenders to The Shield and then after they lose the tag title match, going right back to where they were before.

Kinda like whenever a random diva gets a meaningless one month push to try to convince people they're relevant before it ends immediately following the title match.

Having a division to be at the top of did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to hamper him and in fact helped his career outside that division in the long run. How is this a bad thing? lol

We're not in WCW, we're in WWE. Rey had fantastic matches rubbing shoulders in the tag team division, but it was his work with Eddie Guerrero that hinted at something higher. I always believed Rey would eventually climb, but it was Eddie's passing that caused the trigger to be pulled, and Rey was booked pretty horribly.

The guys with Main Event potential will always get out. They'll always find a way to catch on and crossover. Especially if you make that the intention of the Division.

Disagreed. That would make the Cruiserweight Title a second tier title, and there are already two of those. Hell, arguably three, depending on how you view the World Heavyweight Championship these days. It wouldn't surprise me if it eventually becomes sort of like what the ECW Championship was after John Morrison held it.

Any championship can looking meaningful with the right champion, but they can be anchors in certain situations. I strongly believe that being Cruiserweight Champion would be an anchor to a smaller guy. I'm not against a championship being introduced that is "different" to the norm, but as I have said, I'd like it to be something that emphasises skill as opposed to size -- especially in a WWE where the average Superstar is getting smaller and smaller.

A WWE 15 Championship would be perfect. FCW did the concept and it really helped guys develop and show off their skills. The title would be defended in fifteen minute matches and the guy with the most falls is the champion. It's like the old WCW TV Title, but with a twist. You could even get some pretty major names holding it at different points in their careers. You could also put it on a bigger guy like TNA can do with the X-Division Championship.

I also hate that Three-Way rule thing TNA has with that title. At Slammiversary, it really could have just been Kenny King vs. Chris Sabin.

I do think that Langston would look really good if he switched to long pants. With yellow and black bee stripes on them. He can switch to tiger stripes for PPV and zebra stripes for WrestleMania. Maybe some leopard spots and an okapi theme can make an appearance one-off and make people go
"What?" before they disappear.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I also think The Big Ending would look better if his opponent landed like they were taking a Stunner.

[Mr. Nerfect]

The pre-show match at Payback should be Langston vs. Sin Cara. That would be fun. It can be advertised as Langston vs. Ricardo (the corner men facing off), but Ricardo can limp out on stage and pretend to have a leg injury, "as much as he wanted to fight Langston." He's found an opponent, though -- another Mexican legend -- Sin Cara! *Boom, tish-a, boom...ahhhh*

None of this explains how a cruiserweight division HURT Mysterio. It doesn't matter what company it was in. It worked for guys who were talented but weren't really gonna be doing anything big. Having the division exist never... hurt... anyone. It gives guys who would otherwise be doing nothing at all exposure and something realistic to thrive for (being at the top of a division) while also having the option to move up still as they gain credibility.

It wastes their time and is a nonsensical "goal" to have if the real goal is to move away from the title and onto better things. Name one wrestler who is a success story in the WWE because of the Cruiserweight Championship. I can list plenty of cruiserweights who never really recovered from being seen as "jobbers" after stints as cruiserweights.

Having a Cruiserweight Title in today's day and age would be like having a "Saturday Morning Slam Championship." By winning the title, the guy doesn't actually get much other than a likely spot on Saturday Morning Slam instead of on Main Event or SmackDown. At least an SMS Championship could be held by any guy and wouldn't necessarily be for "small guys." If you wanted small guys to fight over it, you could just have small guys fight over it.

The real goal isn't necessarily to have them move on. If they do, awesome. You've gotten a guy recognition through means of the division and people want to see him fight the "main" guys. Tyson Kidd may never amount to anything. Justin Gabriel may never amount to anything. It's clear that the company has issues knowing what to do with guys like them who are fun to watch in the ring but aren't really guys to be taken seriously in the main card. You act like these guys aren't jobbers now and suddenly if they actually compete in a cruiserweight division, THEN they're gonna be jobbers. That's ridiculous. They're jobbers now. lol Rey Mysterio, Chris Jericho, Eddie Guererro... all got recognition from being in the division in WCW and used it as a launching pad. Hell, Dean Malenko owes any success he really ever had to the fact that he thrived in the cruiserweight division.

It's funny that you're so against a cruiserweight division but so for the FCW 15 title to come to WWE. Like adding a gimmick is what suddenly negates all these issues you seem to have.

I can dig that. I dunno, most of the annoying shit I noticed about Morrison I always assumed was the company's fault. It's like they wanted him to do moves, cut promos and be this babyface that he just wasn't. His work on SmackDown and ECW was just amazing stuff and his character was his own then. Didn't smile like a goof all the time and cut watery promos.

Morrison worked so well for years as a heel, come to think of it -- debuting with Mercury in MNM. For some reason I think of him as such a face, but he really made a several year career out of being an asshole.

Is there a place on the internet where I can watch ROH tv shows for free? Thanks.

I was watching full episodes on Youtube a few weeks ago.

[CSL]

I can dig that. I dunno, most of the annoying shit I noticed about Morrison I always assumed was the company's fault. It's like they wanted him to do moves, cut promos and be this babyface that he just wasn't. His work on SmackDown and ECW was just amazing stuff and his character was his own then. Didn't smile like a goof all the time and cut watery promos.

actually really liked him as goofy Johnny Nitro/Bischoff's lackey, didn't mind him in MNM and with Miz or during his "IT couple" stuff with Melina, thought he was pretty "ehhhh" on ECW after the "re-birth" and just went to shit as soon as he split from Miz/turned babyface/was given any hint of the ball. Basically as soon as he had nothing to hide behind I think he was pretty much "exposed", while Miz went from strength to strength, Morrison just couldn't put it together

[Mr. Nerfect]

Just a random Paige video. I love this girl. I actually think she could be money for the WWE. I'm very optimistic about the potential female performers have to draw ever since I saw the early Knockouts Division in TNA. Give Paul Heyman the book over the girls or something, and have them work within their own universe a little bit. Once you start booking the girls rightly, you can perhaps even entice performers like Trish Stratus, Lita, Beth Phoenix and Kharma to think about coming back and really juicing the division up. They've got that Total Divas show, which could be the perfect chance to start using the girls properly, even if they sort of exist in their own universe a little bit over there at the start. Just try to keep Cameron and Aksana out of each other's reach for a little bit.

I've always felt that the Divas Division just lacked characters. Very slowly there seems to be an injection of individuality to some of the girls, however. It won't happen overnight, but with RAW being three hours, I really think a feud between Summer Rae and Paige would be perfect filler between male segments.

[Skippord]

Paige is the love of my life

[Mr. Nerfect]

Now is also a pretty perfect time to call up Paige. Have her debut just after Payback, where Fandango wins the IC Title from Barrett by pinning The Miz after a Flying Leg Drop. Barrett is furious and obviously wants a one-on-one match with Fandango.

Paige debuts and defeats some heel in her first match. How about an arrogant Nikki Bella? Paige rolls her up after The Bellas get cocky and after the match the twins attack Paige and Natalya runs to the ring and clears them off, being a random face Diva (who has a problem with The Bellas mocking her on her birthday). On a match taped for Total Divas, Natalya & Paige defeat The Bellas when Natalya locks in a Sharpshooter on one of the girls and Paige intercepts the other and locks her in a modified Texas cloverleaf.

Paige catches the eye of Wade Barrett who says it's great to see a Norwich girl kicking some butt in the WWE. Paige thanks Wade and they go their separate ways. Fandango and Summer Rae then bump into Paige and Summer calls Paige "pasty" or something like that. Summer then ends up in the bad books with Paige and the two fight a few times and that involves Fandango and Barrett. Eventually SummerSlam rolls around and Paige is in the corner of Barrett as he squares off with Fandango for the Intercontinental Title. Paige and Summer brawl and in the chaos, Barrett nails Fandango with a Bullhammer and becomes a four-time Intercontinental Champion and wins his first title as a babyface. Wade and Paige celebrate in the ring and maybe even have an odd romantic moment together where Wade feels bad because of his age over the young girl. "What would you want with a piece of human garbage like me anyway?" Paige goes on to serve as some sort of redemption for the "beast" within Wade Barrett.

You can sign up for free and they post the TV episodes every Thursday. Episode airs on TV on Saturday, and then they put it online on Thursday.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Stephanie McMahon vs. Paige would make an interesting feud in the same vein that Austin vs. McMahon worked. Paige is the "Anti-Diva" right? You just have earn Stephanie's ire by basically representing things that the "Billion Dollar Princess" hates. Paige is all leather, rock music, refuses to dress up for promotional material, has the "wrong British accent" by Stephanie's standards.

Steph can be whinging about her as Triple H is preparing for a a rare match and she can ask Triple H about her. "Don't you just hate her guts?" and Triple H can say "Nah. Actually, I think she's kinda cute," and that can tip Stephanie over the edge.

It wouldn't be the storyline on Monday Night RAW, but it could turn Paige into an important female character, similar to how AJ Lee was an important character last year.

You can even do a screwjob where Steph comes out and rings the bell as heel Divas Champion, AJ Lee, has a Black Widow on Paige and Steph rings the bell. Do that at the PPV after SummerSlam, whatever that one is.

It seems that his transformation into Morrison, which was ironically meant to make him seem more like an important player, where he lost you.

[Lock Jaw]

I liked his flirt with the main event he had while a face.

He had a really good match with Sheamus at TLC to win the #1 Contendership, and then fought The Miz in a couple of good matches on RAW.

[Mr. Nerfect]

That was his really hot period. His work at TLC, the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber pretty much stole the show. Then he was rude to Trish Stratus, allegedly, and that might have slowed his push down. I really think that, in a perfect world, WrestleMania XXVII could have marked a huge upswing for Morrison. Imagine if he, Trish and Snooki had won the match against Ziggler and LayCool, then Trish and Morrison made out for a bit. Morrison would have looked like a god.

The stuff with R-Truth could have still happened, but a jealous R-Truth could have been defeated by his partner and turned heel, costing Morrison the WWE Championship when he did challenge. Barring an injury happening, Morrison could have then beaten R-Truth and bounced right back. He could have looked like a great option for potential Money in the Bank Winner around that period.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Antonio Cesaro is so fucking good in the ring. I'm seriously upset that he has been depushed so hard. Making me watch Main Event and shit.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Cesaro is fucking brilliant. I liked the arm work to counter White Noise and how Sheamus got around it.

[James Steele]

I really hope Triple H does wrestle at the start of RAW. RAW gave me blue balls this week.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Curtis Axel is starting to grow on me. I wasn't sold week one, but the past two he's looked really comfortable.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I kind of don't want Axel to wrestle at Payback. They should just have Heyman pay for him to sit in a sky box and he can "observe" the Punk vs. Jericho match from there.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I didn't watch Superstars this past week, but apparently Justin Gabriel & Sin Cara formed a tag team and defeated The Prime Time Players. That could be a pretty decent use of each guy while they have nothing really going on. I couldn't see them challenging on PPV, but a RAW match between Rollins & Reigns and Gabriel & Sin Cara could work.

[Rammsteinmad]

I like "Curtis Axel", but still can't buy him as a main eventer. To me, he's still Michael McGullicutty and he's still a jobber.

[Shadrick]

give him more than 3 weeks

[Emperor Smeat]

Scheduled for the 6/10 Raw in Richmond, VA, is HHH vs. Axel, plus the return of Ziggler and the announcement of Kaitlyn’s secret admirer. At one point it was going to be Henry as part of his babyface turn.
Knowing the WWE, watch it be Hornswoggle that replaces Henry.


Also from the Observer hinting a bit more on why Bryan is getting his big push.
In Japan, among the wrestlers, Keiji Muto and Tetsuya Naito have the insider reputation as the best at putting together a match. In WWE, Edge used to be considered one of the best by his peers. Of the current group, Jericho and Punk have the rep and Bryan is getting it. I used to think Bryan was fantastic at match layout in his ROH days. Bryan’s work with Reigns on Smackdown was really impressive and the fact he always has good matches against everyone, even Ryback, speaks volumes. Undertaker has the rep as well because he’s Undertaker. Cena’s rep is that he asks the right questions, totally understands what is needed, but lets the heels do a lot of it and lets Arn Anderson, who is his agent, come up with a lot of his stuff. Of the newer guys, Ambrose is starting to develop a good rep. HHH, Mysterio and Michaels also have good reps in this regard.

Damn, so close to getting Sexual Chocolate V2.

But I actually won't be surprised if it is Hornswoggle. Regardless of who it is though, I'm just expecting it to be a big let down. If not Hornswoggle, then someone like Josh Mathews.

More like a Lashley type run and that's being generous assuming that.

[Heisenberg]

He is the new signee, but it's like a Bellator/TNA/Spike bundle package, and it's not what I expected out of a "big announcement" type event.

420 Chan's wrestling section /Woo is one of the places I usually go for gifs mainly for RAWs and PPVs.

The biggest problem is since its a chan board, they do tend to become broken links once the topic is deleted or moves off the page list unless it gets archived I think.
