They faced each other in the "Kizuna Road" (7/20) show...

I legit burst out laughing when they showed Orton leaving on that car fuckery at it's finest.

You guys highjacking the show if Bryan is not one of the last 2 guys would be kinda dope and the ultimate "fuck your plans Vince, just push the bearded guy!"

That's the one with the stupid bullshit involving Dynamite breaking a bottle, right? Even by the overrated standards of their series that match easily stands out as the worst of the bunch. Yep, that's the one.

Dynamite vs Tiger Mask 4/21/83 (draw for the vacant WWF Jr. Title) Haven't seen that match in almost a decade and my tastes in wrestling have changed quite a bit. But I remember watching that match and having no clue how it got that rating.

Even if Kane somehow ends up turning on the Authority, I don't see that kind of storyline lasting 3 months. And hell, Punk vs HHH seems like a given at this point Nope. Why so vague though?

Was that report before or after Bryan tweeting about how humbled he felt by the reaction of the last segment? Not saying its fake but it's weird a guy who barely tweets and really doesn't give a damn about that kinda stuff would write about somthing he doesn't remember...I guess he could've watched it later but aren't you not supposed to watch tv when you had a concussion?

Daniel Bryan, no joke

So NXT is going to be live once it starts airing on the WWE Network. What's booked for the first live show (Feb. 27th)? Cesaro vs Zayn III

Well I'll be damned.

Just read this on wrestlinginc Sounds like the kind of made up rumor that credits the WON when in fact it was never reported there. Haven't listened to this week's podcast nor read the newsletter, does anyone know if Dave said anything about this?

And if we are going by special crowds. The one in Seattle was just as loud as the L.A one.

Now that is very true.

I'm fine with the angle as long as we get a version of heel "kicking people's heads in" Bryan and Cena NOT coming to the rescue. D-Bry has always been a better heel and him working as one and cutting promos against the machine will be very fun to watch. I also agree that TV wise, this is gonna open up a lot of interesting matchups. But dammit, as a huge mark of him, I wanted a big Wrestlemania match for Danielson. It's his 4th one and he was heading into it as the most over guy in the company...now it looks he'll end up in a good 7 minute match with Bray Wyatt and it bums me out.

My guess is that they are gonna use Henry to set up Lesnar vs his Wrestlemania opponent. But man, even if we just get a 2 week feud between face/tweener Hall Of Pain Henry and Brock that ends in a Rumble match, I'd be more than happy. Henry/Big E vs Brock/??? would be awesome too.

POSSIBLE BIG RAW SPOILER from tonight's Smackdown! tapings (we are all gonna love this if true...) http://www.wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2013/1...-wwe-smackdown/ another source http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/441207-spo...eturning-to-wwe

It's not the LLT or the Barbwire match so I guess it's the studio one.

And he did a waaayy better job interviewing D-Bry.

It was a very dull interview for the most part, but I've read/listened to probably 90% of Bryan's interviews so there isn't much I'd like someone to ask him (besides his experience on working with Taker and kinda joking with him in that London show) so yeah, I don't see much wrong with it either.

Regal vs Cesaro was amazing. I don't think there was 1 wasted move, everything made sense.

This. I knew Londos was big but not THAT big, would love to read more about him.

Only read the first 10 pages so apologies if this have been asked: Rey Mysterio or Jushin Liger? Chris Benoit or Bryan Danielson?

Heh. Still think Bryan wins though cause he doesn't have a lot of competition this year. I don't think Okada or Tanahashi are really up there this year. Punk fell off. John Cena missed some time. If you could vote for The Shield as one unit, maybe! I agree with Goldust for Comeback & Reigns for Rookie although I like Summer Rae too, she has no chance of even getting a vote. Reigns isn't eligible for rookie. What might hurt Okada and Tanahashi is the fact that NJPW folks could split the vote. I contend that Okada is a much better candidate than Tanahashi, but I have been told I'm crazy for thinking that by people who are bigger NJPW fans than I am. At this point I am likely to vote WOTY Cena, Okada.....no clue who is third. I actually don't see anyone with a super compelling case. I'm not a fan of Tanahashi, but I acknowledge that he would be a reasonable pick, though nothing he did in the last year really makes me feel like he's a super strong candidate. I am a fan of Bryan, but if we look at returns he arguably had a less impressive year than Mark Henry's 2011, and I was told I was "stretching" for a favorite of mine when I touted him as a strong candidate that year. Punk was unwatchable for much of the year, stuck in one of the least interesting feuds involving good talents I can remember. Orton is better as a heel, but he's still not someone I want to watch, and he does nothing for business at all (not even as a merch seller). I wouldn't vote for part timers for this award, and I don't think Lesnar or HHH deserve it anyway, with The Rock being so horrible in the ring I can't really see voting for him either. The rest of Japan is in trouble, except for Dragon Gate and I can't imagine anyone from that fed being a strong candidate. Super indies are on their ass relative to other years, and I don't see someone to throw a bone to there. There is no one near what Aries was doing as a worker/act in TNA last year, so I can't see tossing a "breakout year" vote to anybody there. Last year I had Casas in my top three, and I think Casas and Rush have had really strong in ring years this year in Mexico, but CMLL isn't really drawing worth a shit. I agree with the notion that The Shield as a unit would be worth some sort of vote but that's not possible. For that reason I am tempted to vote them 1,2,3 in that category, even though that is completely absurd. As it stands I can't see having 2 NJPW guys in my top three (especially when I don't think much of either guy as a worker), nor am I high on giving Bryan the benefit of the doubt, like every other "smart" fan on earth. Given that I might just vote Goldust third since there is no "comeback" category, and the guy works harder than anyone else in the company. Although I don't agree with some of your arguments for not voting for some people, I get why you wouldn't vote for them (Tana, Bryan, Casas) but then you say you would vote for Goldust?? I've loved what he has done this year but I don't see how Goldust escapes from the arguments that made you not vote for other people.

I didn't see or listened to the conference call so I may be completely wrong here, but why do people take the "swing and miss" quote from Vince and think he is just talking about Bryan vs Cena? Punk vs Brock was built as just as important as the WWE title match and it got a lot of tv time too. To me that was even worse because you have Punk as their "1B" guy (to Cena's 1A) and you put him against a legit draw like Lesnar in a very well booked angle...and it still bombs. The Summerslam number always struck me as a bigger indication to Punk as a draw than D-Bry. And it weird to me how WWE seemingly didn't see it that way.

Don't remember Austin saying that in the last 2 episodes. Did I miss it or it's just BS by lordsofpain? (wouldn't be the first time from them) He announced it. That's fucking awesome And in even bigger podcast news, this happened a couple of hours ago: https://twitter.com/TheRock/statuses/404779563294543872 https://twitter.com/steveaustinBSR/status/404797093841473536
