I don't know what's funnier: CM Punk Flair flopping, or Seth Rollins channeling Mick Foley at the end there.

So thanks to the magic of the internet, I got to see Sherlock before the Stateside airing. In the teaser AND the actual show, Anderson is now channeling his inner Daniel Bryan.

I watched a bit of IMPACT last night, Kurt Angle needs to come back to WWE for feud starting purposes, not b/c LOL TNA, just feel like we need the 3 I's Kurt Angle to come back and perhaps have a go with a stable comprised of him, Cesaro, Swagger and Colter.

I think a name like Angle deserves to get pushed to the upper card echelon and after he left my screen I started to lose interest in the other segments and ended up turning the channel after Gail Kim/Madison Rayne

Timeline 1963-69 WWWF Bruno Sammartino dvd came in the mail today. Wow, is this ever interesting.

Bruno is also the guest on Colt Cabana's most recent podcast.

Lol Bruno might exceed Bret Hart is loving himself. My God haha.

This was recorded February 2012, and from the latest news he's now dealing with Tongue Cancer, can this man get a break? :(

Found out that I am working the night of the Royal Rumble. Really sucks.

May have to actually order it and then PVR it. Can you PVR ppv events?

You mean DVR? Yes, you can. I do it a lot.

I think I get some sort of discount on PPV, I should find out what it is.

I kind of get the feeling that Mason Ryan is still not ready for the main roster, but I guess there is no better way to learn.

Roman Reigns face turn? I do not like the sound of that...

If he's not ready by now, it's gotta be time to start thinking about just letting him go.

I really don't know what the WWE is doing with Mason Ryan. They clearly want him to be "something"..... but even on NXT he'll show up one week, seem like he is going to be starting some sort of storyline/feud/push, and then he'll just disappear for weeks/months before popping up again.

Rock 'N' Roll Express documentary is apparently in the works

They're just trying to get him more polished, I think. His mic work is a bit wonky at the moment and his ring work, while drastically better, is still clunky. But Roman Reigns isn't exactly a technical genius and has thrived in The Shield, so maybe it could all work?

I really hope these rumours about The Ultimate Warrior going into the Hall of Fame are true... and that he gets a "moment" at Wrestlemania XXX. Maybe he runs out and kills 3MB or something involving Batista where they both vigorously shake the ropes.

Whilst watching the Heyman/Cole interview on page 8...Did anybody else feel like they were watching a balded Penn Jillette?

I'm not trying to bring Heyman down here, the guy is a genius. I've just noticed that his speech patterns are pretty similar...I half expected him to catch a bullet in his mouth during that whole interview.

If Curtis Axel were still with Heyman, he'd benefit from playing the role of Teller and not talking.

Axel would actually benefit from another run in NXT, I think. Just like what Cesaro is currently doing. He can work on his promos and such down there and help some of the younger guys polish their ring work. Give him Lana as eye candy when he's down there as well. Axel & Rusev would make a pretty dastardly team.

Yoshi Tatsu and Curt Hawkins have both been gone from TV for a long time now. I kind of want Yoshi to come back and do something. He's a good talent, but he's just never had that "edge" that's needed to get out of being a Japanese jobber guy. They have Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara on the main roster, and Kalisto in developmental, but maybe they could bring him back with some sort of mask and have him play villain to them?

Hawkins is hard, because while he is a solid talent, he also just lacks that extra oomph to make him stand-out. As a singles act, I always liked the idea of him coming out decked out in a color scheme and claiming that "Hawkamania is runnin' wild!" It wouldn't be a main event shtick, but it could get him on television for a few weeks and maybe even start to get him over. There's always that tag team with Zack Ryder waiting in the shadows there.

Yoshi Tatsu & Ricardo Rodriguez as a masked babyface tag team, for some reason, appeals to me. There are just so many face teams at the moment. They really need to get some heel stuff happening in that scene, because you've got guys like The Prime Time Players without anyone to really feud with.

Actually, before the Bad News Barrett stuff started, I actually really liked the idea of an Alberto Del Rio/Wade Barrett tag team. Think about it: Barrett showed up in the WWE to make money; Del Rio has a lot of money; both like beating people up and are very good at it -- the story essentially writes itself. They're the sort of super-team that would get a run with the Tag Team Titles, but I think that it would benefit both men (neither of whom has been a Tag Team Champion before) and I just see it clicking. Their arrogance and ruthlessness would come together quite nicely, I feel. Then, when they do suffer a string of losses, they can turn on each other and have a pretty captivating feud (where Barrett would probably be the more natural choice for a face).

I'm a huge fan of Wade Barrett, The guy oozes Heel from every pore and his beard is as majestic as her Majesty.

I'd like to see Barrett make more use of being British. I want to see an unadulterated version of Barrett where he speaks in a localized British Dialect using slang terms that most American viewers won't understand and have him portray an Anti-American Heel on TV... Then When WWE visits the UK, the crowds will be so high on him. The same way Bret played a Heel in America/Face in Canada Schtick... Afterall its been over seven years so by the rules of pro wrestling it would be seen as 'Never Been Done'

Aside from that the only change I'd make to Barrett before launching him back into the ring would be to have him adopt a Submission finisher..I've never been a fan of any finish he has used regularly, from that God awful Wasteland thing to the even worse elbow nonsense he used most recently..

I just think a submission would more fit his natural Character, Seeing him methodically target an opponents leg before snapping on a version of a Haas of Pain or even something like a Rings of Saturn or a London Dungeon would be ideal in my eyes.

That's a pity. The end of this year has been their best work since they ditched the 6 sided ring.

Still, barely a change in the ratings at all though.

The guy has an incredibly infectious smile. I think if the Bad News gimmick works out, which I reckon it will, it could easily turn into a "Good News Barrett" persona. The video of this a few weeks back on the JBL/Cole Show was brilliant.

That's actually good for TNA since they've trimmed a lot of "name" talent like Hogan, Bischoff, AJ, Devon, Mickie, Tara, anyone else I'm forgetting. It means that they can focus on developing new talent and the audience will still be there for them.

it's kinda awesome that Harley Race was there to present the belt to Kojima

BREAKING NEWS FROM TOKYO: Satoshi Kojima just used a lariat to defeat "Ironman" Rob Conway and become the new NWA World Heavyweight Champion! More soon as this unfolds. Harley Race awarded him with the title belt when the match ended.

NWA's best best to restore any prestige to the NWA World Title is by having it in Japan and their big name performers. NWA was stupid to push away TNA.

TNA pushed NWA away.

Shit pushing shit away

I thought the reason TNA split was NWA wanted more of a say in who was champion, who worked in TNA, etc.

The split was due to TNA wanting to do things their way and only used the NWA name to get instant credibility while the NWA was upset at TNA constantly breaking rules in regards to the titles.
