    But, American fans, like the ones they hope to draw later in the month, know who AJ Styles is, and will probably pay to see him.

    Because every 3-way match that features a title change, has to have it end without the champion losing directly. It's in the handbook.

    It's the only explanation that really makes sense. He's been fiercely loyal to NOAH, he could have easily jumped to All Japan with Akiyama, or to New Japan any number of times.

    I'm dragging this over from the 2013 match discussion thread, because it doesn't quite apply there anymore. The Young Bucks have got to be one of the worst teams at at working a heel control segment. Between the Steen/Generico match from last January and the KOW match from the BOLA in 2011, I could never see them again and would be fine with it.

    His opinion of teaming with Sylvan Grenier versus teaming with Rene Dupree.

    I'll always remember Marshall's commentary during Superclash III, and the enthusiasm with which he'd say "Steve Do It To It Cox!"

    Hindsight being 20/20 and all, it'd have been just as well to have Henry over here. Swagger was a complete flop, until the team with Cesaro, and the reaction to Henry's run and his eventual elimination showed that there was fan interest in seeing him go for the gold again.

    KC could probably lump 1992 and 93 together with Gordon, since I highly doubt there's much to talk about with 1992.

    In an awesome bit of randomness, the Syracuse, NY Quaker Steak and Lube has a crane machine with CMLL Plush figures (complete with official tags) there was a Mistico right on top, and another Luchadore I didn't recognize (I think Mephisto or Ephesto) and I figured it was some sort of knockoff, until I saw the CMLL tag. I thought about trying to get it, but I didn't have any cash. And, it also hit me, that if I got it, I'd really have nothing to do with it, after I showed my two or three friends who would actually care about it.

    This was lots of fun! Finlay looked like he was trying to throwback to the days of his feud with Regal in WCW, amping up the stiffness, and Steen found an opening by going after Finlay's leg, and even makes it ultimately matter by winning with the sharpshooter. The stiffness and intensity make this seem like a grudge match, not the opening round of a tournament.

    He briefly talked about the early days of ECW on Forever Hardcore.

    This. He'd be a great addition to the legends round table, if they decide to resurrect them, and he's perfect for things like documentaries, and have him and Flair do commentary on their first Clash of Champions match or something.

    I would think that Evolution/Shield is similar to the Shield/Wyatt match from the Chamber, an all out war. I agree that Evolution should win, but the match should go in such a manner that the Shield's stock still rises. Reigns can hit his big moves on HHH, and have the ref get pulled out to save him. I think Bryan/Kane should wind up being somewhat similar to the Bryan/HHH RAW match, with the Evolution run in to try to help Kane, and then the Shield making the save to getting their heat back, maybe with them running off Orton and Batista and then hitting the powerbomb on HHH, and with the playing field level, Bryan is able to beat Kane.

    My first non-Birdman look at Koko was in the UWF, he hits UWF jobber Gustavo Mendoza with the mother of all dropkicks. It even winds up being in their intro video.

    I'll repeat what I said in the massive WWE thread. What happened last night is completely forgiveable. Bryan got to show up, after having the week off, and give the fans their huge pop. Then, they did the angle with Kane laying him out, so that he could GTFO of there and deal with more pressing matters. I wouldn't be surprised if they wheeled him to the back and then he and Brie hopped right in the car and took off.

    How incessant were the Albert chants? I remember when the Wyatt Family first showed up, the fans were chanting "Husky Harris" at Bray, but they stuck it out, and Bray is pretty darn over right now. RE: Russev, the jury is still out for me too. It'd be easy to write him off, but I'm remembering just how over Umaga got in 2006, so I think there's still some hope.

    Sean usually is very good about keeping guys reined in like that. The only exception is Cornette, since his tangents are usually more entertaining than what they're talking about. I remember during the Jannetty shoot, when Jannetty was about to get sidetracked and asked if he could tell a story Sean said something like "I'll get on the train, but you have to get to the station."

    I've been trying to watch the 2011 Battle of Los Angeles. But, Hero vs. Willie Mack keeps literally putting me to sleep. I've sat down with it twice now, and fallen asleep both times.

    The Bryan thing is entirely forgivable. He got to make his appearance to get the crowd amped, heat up his upcoming title match with Kane, and then GTFO and deal with more important things.

    Fun promo from Sting, the left fist is for Sting, and the right is for the little Stingers!

    Bill Watts announces that he's retiring the United States Tag Titles, and Dick Slater rambles out a challenge for the Freebirds for the titles. Watts tells him he has to go through the Championship Committee.
  22. MikeCampbell
    This was a fun little segment to help build up to Austin and Windham's rematch in the Omni. It'd have been smarter to do this to build to a PPV or Clash of Champions match, but that's Watts for you.
  23. MikeCampbell
    Cactus seems to like the line about the lump in the throat. Didn't he cut a similar promo on Sting when he first came back?
  24. MikeCampbell
    It could go all Ryback though... That's a very real possibility. Highly doubt it. Ryback ended up flopping because they kept putting him in high profile matches were him winning wasn't seen as the best scenario by the company (vs Punk, Shield and Cena) until he was just another guy and ended up in the dreaded midcard limbo. With Reigns, it seems they'll be pretty comfortable putting him over pretty much anyone. I also think Roman has way more potential than Ryback so having more patience/faith in him makes sense. Wasn't the fact that Ryback showed no discernible improvement in his work, also a factor in them giving up on him?

    If you believe Kevin Von Erich, Gino Hernandez was one of the least tough guys in the business. The only guy who's ass that Gino could kick was Ox Baker, so Gino found an excuse to do it every time he and Ox were in the same building.
