Judy Martin will make my currently entirely-non-Japanese-save-for-maybe-Saito list.

Anyone going higher than me on Andre?

I really liked Oates vs Funk. It's a bit of a hard match to explain, with a lot of an exhibition feel but one that got heated but never entirely lost control.

Is it possible that WWE dumped Sting out of the tag match not because the Rowan injury but because he wanted to do Wizard World Chicago as it's a huge paydate for guys like him?

I can't stress enough how surreal these things are.

Those online or from Black Terry Jr.? i think they're supposed to go up for free on Sunday.

http://www.newsarama.com/25635-stephen-amell-suits-up-for-wwe-summerslam.html It's gotten more play on comics sites, but he's debuting the new costume apparently.

To be fair, I think it's always been a part of wrestling, for decades and decades, that when they hammer home too hard the idea that someone has someone else's back, a turn may well happen.

I wonder if there are a legion of teenage girl CW fans who will drop $9.99 just for the chance to see the new Arrow costume for next season of the show the first time.

Sheamus cashing in at the end of the night is the way they solve the duel belts issue, right? It could even be the way they keep the US belt on Cena if they want to.

New Day on Jericho's podcast were funny talking about when Kofi put Orton through the table and then wasn't used at all the next week.

The Ambrose thing just hurts because he was really taking off after Reigns' injury last summer.

There was a huge amount of interest from Sting's appearance and I think a big rating the next night. That they didn't more actively follow up the next night was the issue. I still firmly believe they should have run Sting/Cena at Mania with Sting going after Cena as sort of a force of justice (in his 1997 mystery role) for him failing and allowing the Authority back.

I don't think they're going back for Taker vs Brock III at Mania.

Re; Ziggler: He might go off to be a successful comedian and not need the WWE and leave instead of getting fired and then Vince will cry a single tear. Better to not make money than that.

The post-WM title win was one of the biggest moments of the last five years. Granted, that one was due to a concussion. Re: Jericho: Big Show is the only other guy on the roster who mentions things like that.

Remember the night after the Hardy Boyz/Edge and Christian TIT final when they made a massive deal out of their ladder match and how that was contrasted to some crazy Dragons vs Three Count match which WCW just ignored the next night? Or am I making that up?

I think we see it more with babyfaces in the last 10 years though.

There aren't a hell of a lot of draws to begin with.

We've talked about this. Part of it is the amount of TV and "Special events." Part of it is the lack of jobber matches. Part of it is the idea that post-Brock leaving, Vince doesn't want to make stars bigger than the WWE brand and the WWE wanting to humble guys after they get over to see how they'll react/put them in their place.

My entire list right now consists of 1. Bockwinkel 2. Rose So unless anyone's going higher than that on them, there you go. I still don't know what to do about the entire country of Japan, mind you.

Past the hope that some secret footage might pop up someday, there is absolutely nothing disappointing about any of that.

Does the Fiera vs Silver King hair match exist? Has anyone seen it.

And Mr. Electricity Steve Regal.

I might have Satanico that high too.
