So the summer months are coming to an idea with the biggest party of the Summer!
Hardcore Justice

Wow that logo looks like some beginner's photoshop.

In addition to this PPV, TNA will also be putting on a PPV quality Impact the Thurs after.

On the WWE side, Super Cena and his Superfriends have formed an alliance to take on the evil Nexus of Doom/Evil (not sure which sounds better)
But will the heroes be able to put their egos aside and over come the odds? Still tune! Same Cena Time! Same Cena Channel!

This is a good place to mention this:
I've been going through a box of old VHS tapes and putting family videos on a DVD
While doing this I found a tape that had a WCW All-nighter in it. It was the biggest nostalgia kick I've had in a long time. I watched all of the matches. Funk V Flair 'I quit' match is still my all time favorite match I think. Teryy funk will never get enough credit for being awesome.

edit: Holy shit that logo looks EXACTLY like a neft footbal.

I was going to leave and comeback with a Nexus T-shirt(new gimmick) but I bought an Expos cap instead. This place just keeps calling me back.

I'm watching Triplemania XVIII, AAA pseudo Wrestlemania and the match for the cruiser weight championship was pretty good, it was Stiff Tiger vs Nosawa vs Jack Evans vs Christopher Daniels, you can watch it here:

This guys are really fun, shame WWE never gave them a chance to shine.

I'm curious to hear about all of the injuries that happen from out of shape wrestlers trying to show off again. It's not like many were ever that good to begin with. Is Sabu showing up?

Eddie Guerrero vs The Lightning Kid (NJPW - 6/5/93)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzjEYIX-5xU - 1/2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hv5zNHD_fjs - 2/2

Rare match that sees Eddie Guerrero taking on a young Sean 'X-Pac' Waltman in New Japan.

Daisuke Sekimoto (c) vs Kota Ibushi (DDT - 5/4/10)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shGLQqT52cM - 1/2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pur74_p3o3Q - 2/2

Enjoyable matchup here as Kota Ibushi challenges Daisuke Sekimoto for the DDT KO-D Heavyweight Championship.

Katsuhiko Nakajima vs Masaaki Mochizuki (Dragon Gate - 7/26/09)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcffKfTpGk8 - 1/2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sk6dCy7STE8 - 2/2

Really hard-hitting matchup between Mochizuki & Kensuke Office star Katsuhiko Nakajima.

Riho (c) vs Emi Sakura (ICE RIBBON - 3/5/10)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4q7wrljMW0 - 1/2
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwioqJ6CX-I - 2/2

Riho (one of the youngest pro-wrestlers in the world, at just 13 years old!) defends her ICEx60 belt against Ice Ribbon founder and Joshi veteran Emi Sakura - amazing to think that a girl this young is putting on better matches than most of the Divas.

Antonio Inoki vs Strong Kobayashi (NJPW 3/19/74)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBq18A24po0 - 1/3
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJt_Z9EXiU0 - 2/3
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZJ5wphf350 - 3/3

A true puro classic here as two of Japans biggest stars face off - NJPW founder & WWE Hall of Famer Antonio Inoki and IWE superstar Shozo 'Strong' Kobayashi.

Did anyone else think Kofi going bananas on Zigler was awesome? Crazy Kofi > Happy Kofi.

It's not the first time he's done it either. I laughed when Grisham said "We've never seen this side of Kofi before." The first time he went ape shit on Orton last year in the Garden was awesome. They need to work that into his character more.

JAMAICAN ME CRAZY, KOFI.

I do like him going crazy. Kind of bored with the happy
DeeJay from Street Fighter
gimmick.

On another note, there are rumors that the WWE logo may go through changes:

NoDQ.com said:
A member of the WWE Universe site posted earlier today that the WWE would be getting a new logo. He claimed that he knew this because of a friend of his who works in production with WWE. He posted photos of himself with numerous WWE wrestlers and backstage at WWE events to try and prove his story. The post has since been removed from the WWE Universe site.

Here is the logo in question:

I hope they do get a new logo. The one they have now has essentially been outdated for almost a decade now.

Doesn't look terrible. Basically the old WWF logo with curved edges.

I never understood why when they changed from WWF to WWE, they just removed the F. Would have been much easier (and made more sense) to add a line under the F to make it an E. The current logo basically just says WW.

AJ Styles' new tattoo, oh dear....
http://i26.tinypic.com/30uu5xj.jpg[IMG][/QUOTE]

That is going to aggravate the fuck out of me...

At least those are the dates his children were born. I thought it was world title wins at first, and that would mean the tattoo would get worse ever time he won something. Once his wife keeps her legs closed he wont have ink all the way down to his big toe before he retires.

Yeah, I thought they were world title dates myself. If it is his children's DOB, I kind of like the tattoo a bit more. The big AJ is kind of annoying but I guess I'll get used to it later, just like Rey's new tats every now and then.

Call me old school but I think too many wrestlers have tattoos nowadays. I liked it better back in the day when less than half the roster had visible tattoos. I just don't buy into some characters because of it. If someone plays a goody-two shoes heel who is straight laced.........a gigantic back tatoo doesn't suit them IMO.

Yes, I don't know much about straight edge culture but it would seem tatoos ("poisoning" your skin with ink and needles) doesn't seem very straight edge. Even though I think Punk is straight edge IRL.

Google what exactly straight edge is.
There is nothing "poisoning" about tattoos.
That sounds like some kind of mormon trying to give a reason for kids not to drink soda "because you are poisoning your body"
