I love how they completely ignore the Rollins//Punk ROH connection.

Horrible ideas. They should be called "no weight room days"
ALRIGHT I'M DONE I'LL STOP. I'll shut up and wait to see whether all of em flame out at the hands of Cena or manage to Rise Above Booking.

It suprised me really that Hero wasn't a part of it, but I figure they didn't want to remove both Ohno and Rollins from NXT right now. Not expecting Hero till after WM.

Or Dean Ambrose and the AmBro's.
But I bet this will end up with Cena vs Punk 154 and Ryback vs Ambro's at TLC even though the Ambro's stopped Cena from being beat of Ryback and after Punk beat Cena with no help while Ryback was the one screwed.

It's not a meme with me.
PEOPLE NEED TO LIFT GODDAMMIT
Also, their stable should be named something that describes them well. I'm thinking we've seen it before in 2000...it was called...
"DERELICTE"
Holy crap that Punk promo should have been on TV.

Orton's always been a GREAT DUDE. Especially when it was the Legacy 3-man team. I miss those days.
A friend of mine who wasn't watching wrestling at the time called it "Orton and his 2 butt pirates" - there certainly was an air of...sensuality to their proceedings.
And then there was the REALLY weird and hot moment of Orton and Trips in a parking garage sitting down jerking each other off. I swear, that shit was FILTH! FILTH!@

DEAN AMBROSE!
SETH ROLLINS!
Still hyped.

Rollings is better in the ring agreed.
Ambrose is way more interesting on the mic though imo.
We all know that anyone moving from NXT to WWE is going to have a neutered move set to accommodate the "safe" wrestling of the WWE.
"Hey look! We all got the same fucking Dean Ambrose t-shirt!"

Yeah him and some NXT babies came out and put Ryback through a table.

It took 3 of them to lift Ryback. Something even that physically underdeveloped CM Punk had no issue doing. This does not bode well.

I attended Chikara's "The Cibernetico Rises" yesterday. Some quick thoughts:
1) I've always thought that Icarus is a fine wrestler, but it occurred to me that his character is pretty much stuck at Chikara. I don't think he can get the nuclear rudo heat he gets from the Chikara crowd anywhere else, and while he's a solid wrestler, his style wouldn't fit above undercard matches anywhere else. It's not that surprising that other guys from his Chikara Wrestling Factory class (Jigsaw, Hallowicked, Gran Akuma) have tried to make it elsewhere, only Icarus sticks around.
2) I have fond memories of Fire Ant from that Young Lion's Cup match against Vin Gerard, but the Ants feel really stale.
3) The mustache on Dasher Hatfield's mask is tremendous, and it makes the costume work.
4) 1-2-3 Kid and Marty Janetty were fine. Janetty tried his best Gibson impression, and 1-2-3 Kid made the best of his hot tag.
5) I appreciate the joviality that the Chikara crew brings to the shows, but the ROH team just seemed filled to the brim with personalities, while the Chikara guys just all seemed plucky (3.0), wacky (Spectral Envoy), or douche (Donst). Akuma was probably the blandest of all, but he's been that way for years. Kingston is the best defined character out of them.
6) Kevin Steen is tremendous, but Jimmy Jacobs also deserves a lot of credit for the weird charisma he brings. When he first returned to ROH, he felt really stale and flat. Maybe absence has made me fonder, but I enjoyed the bits of Jimmy Jacobs that we got in the Cibernetico match.
7) Mark Briscoe's beard and mannerisms make him look more deranged than ever. He's approaching Necro Butcher levels of deranged appearance.
8) The Bravados were fine. One is chunkier than the other.
9) The Young Bucks are great at playing cocky assholes, but their offensive moves always seem contrived.
10) I haven't been keeping up with the anti-Chikara storyline at all, so I don't know what the morally questionable actions that Quackenbush referred to in his monologue to Jigsaw. Can someone fill me in on that story?
Spoilery talk for the show in case anyone is waiting for the DVD.

Spoilery talk for the show in case anyone is waiting for the DVD.
1) That said about Waltman and Janetty, I have no idea how they would mesh with the Young Bucks in a 2/3 falls championship match. While they didn't look gassed by the end of their match with the Heartthrobs, they weren't exactly in a sprint with them either.
2) I was surprised that they violated the Ricky Steamboat Face in Peril Rule of giving the face at least a punch or two while he's getting demolished by the heels. Frightmare in the first face-in-peril sequence was fine because he would try to escape, but the Jagged face-in-peril sequence dragged because the ROH guys just kept beating on him and beating on him.
3) As expected, we got the set-up for Kingston vs. Donst. In a post-show promo, Kingston said that he made Donst in Wallingford, CT (a show that I attended, and I can still remember the sounds from the beating Kingston laid on Donst), and that he'll finish Donst in Philadelphia. A solid, sell-the-next-show promo from Kingston.
4) Ironically, the only person in the ring without a mask (Quackenbush) failed to see Jigsaw's turn coming.

Btw, divas. As much as the "AJ Scandal" (ugh, really, ugh!) sucked last night, the fact that Tamina is back and they're moving Kaitlyn towards Aksana does bode well for the divas division.
Really, we'll have AJ vs. Tamina, Kaitlyn vs. Aksana and I guess, Eve vs. Layla all at once?
Sure, it'll still be 3 minutes matches and weak storytelling, but when's the last time there were multiple divas-feuds at the same time?

But Avengers23 - Did you LOVE it? It sounds pretty damn good from your writeup but I wanna know how you felt!
That's okay, Ambrose and Rollins need to be fed some jobbers with dancing gimmicks.
I thought that wasn't Aksana that attacked Kaitlyn??
It was, we got the big pay off (as LAW called it) last night, Aksana attacked Kaitlyn while wearing a hoodie and a blonde wig.

I wasn't there, so I don't know what Quack said exactly, but the storyline is basically that Quack has been more than a little over-zealous when dealing with the GEKIDO invaders (who are all former CHIKARA students) and has attempted to seriously injure several of their members. This has led to Jigsaw questioning his motives, the insinuation being that Quack knows more about GEKIDO than he is letting on and would prefer to see them put out of action before their true identities can be revealed.
I like the idea of Punk and Heyman walking down hallways with Heyman showing Punk the title.
