It's (nearly) October which means it's time for another wrasslin thread....
The WWE Championship is in a state of abeyance.
WHAT?
The title is being held up.
WHAT?
The championship is vacant.
WHAT?
For the first time since 2011 when CM Punk walked out of the company as WWE Champion, the WWE Championship is vacant. Triple H stripped Daniel Bryan of his newly won title after referee Scott Armstrong admitted that he gave Bryan a fast three count which was not his normal cadence. A rematch has been ordered at the upcoming Battlegrounds PPV for the vacant WWE Championship.
Meanwhile, in the CM Punk Pocket Universe™
Ryback has been revealed as a new Heyman guy and has picked up right where Axel left off.....and it seems to be working better than the Axel / Heyman relationship did....at least it's creepier.
WWE also has a second PPV on October 27th called Hell In A Cell.
Elsewhere in wrasslin...
TNA is heading for Bound For Glory....
No seriously, something is up with this company....and they're running angles about it. AJ Styles dropped a pipe bomb on Dixie Carter after winning the Bound For Glory series claiming that he could say anything he wanted because his contract was up.
In the meantime, there is also a possibility that Hulk Hogan's contract is up with the company, and they are currently running an angle around that.
Is this a major restructuring....or a company grasping at straws?
TNA's Bound For Glory PPV airs October 27th and is one of only four PPVs they are running in 2013.
New Japan....
New Japan just held it's Destruction PPV and is currently streaming it on VOD for $25. The PPV features main events of Kazuchika Okada defending his IWGP Heavyweight Championship against Satoshi Kojima and Shinsuke Nakamura defending his IWGP Intercontinental Championship against Shelton "X" Benjamin, better known to US fans as Momma Benjamin's baby boy.
SWERVE!
This month's thread is dedicated to strobogo. If you didn't know, strobogo has been working at recapping a lot of wrasslin. He is currently working on WCW 1999 and has completed 1998, 2000, 2001 and other various recaps.
His current recaps can be found over at http://www.legitshook.com while previous WCW recaps can be found at http://wcw2000.tumblr.com and http://wcw2001.tumblr.com
Here's to all of strobogo's work and the blood sweat and beers he's gone through as he recaps some of the best (and mostly worst) of wrasslin.
And now for the Hall of Shame....
Just look at these jabronis.
