IT'S KANA TIME.

Bless you, good sir.

Bless you!

I like how WWE really has no actual plan for Cena being injured (doesn't amtter if this one is a work or not, they still don't have one for a real injury). They just coast along with his eternal super push, simply hoping he doesn't get injured in this physically demanding sport that he wrestles in 300+ days a year.

If he had a freak accident and broke his collarbone tomorrow, they would not have any plan or contingency.

Sad but true.

On the other hand, maybe they can afford to finally push somebody else to ME status.

That said, I do think they gotta have something in mind just in case, because that eternal super push can't last forever. (Or they replace Cena with Sheamus...dude's already Irish Cena anyhow.)
 
I guess HHH is just gonna have to wrestle again.

All this just shows that creating a likeable babyface in 2013 is hard. WWE pushes Cena and Impact pushes Sting and Hogan.

In WWE they havd Bryan who seems to be the only face loved by the hardcore and casual fan while Impact was close to creating new faces but then swerved and booked them horribly and made Old men the saviors against Aces and Eights.

So I think Shelton and RVD's stupid 'catch my foot/spin kick' moves would be one that I'd refuse to bump for. You do it in EVERY match, how is that exciting? It's so dumb and makes the opponent look like a moron.

DAWP YA CAUGHT MY FOOT OH WAIT UNPREDICTABLE KICK!

Would the same be true for Billy Kidman having to reverse a powerbomb to a facebuster in practically every match he had from, oh, 1999 on? Even if some of his opponents never tried a powerbomb in their life before that?

For those of you with experience with Blogger, is there a way to group blog posts into their own sections? As in, if I have one page with all my reviews (FOR THE GOOGLE RATINGS), can I make it so all the WCW2000 posts are at their own sub page, and 2001 at their page, and on and on?

You could use the labels then add a link in the navigation.

All the blogs I've seen on there are archived by date. The closest I can see to what you want would be something like this: http://googleblog.blogspot.ca/ You'd just need to make sure all your entries are properly tagged/labelled.
 
So does anyone watch Game of Thrones? Did anyone else think the same thing I thought when Jaime responded to Brienne yelling out that the Kingslayer needs help?

Aw yeah, Strongman tweeted to me! Minor marking out moment. #muscleorchestra
 
Is there any way to watch DDT? It is so hard to watch and keep up with the promotion.

Yeah, it's pretty difficult - especially at the moment. Used to be we'd get an episode of Dramatic Fantasia each month, but since they lost their monthly TV deal and since there's been a bit of a shake-up in the puro scene, we haven't been getting anywhere near as much DDT content. I'm sure it'll come through, eventually, but we're talking months after the fact, unfortunately.

I just read JamieOD's DDT blog and hope some of this stuff eventually shows up;

I still haven't seen the last campsite pro-wrestling show, the one with El Generico :(

Finally got around to watching Tanahashi vs. Okada from Invasion Attack. Dear god, why have I not been watching NJPW?

Such a great match. I love the fact that 95% of all the storytelling in New Japan is done in the ring, really helps get past the language barrier.

And, yeah, join us this Friday for Wrestling Dontaku! Promises to be an even better event than Invasion Attack;

Hmm, watching these older WWF stuff highlights some strange things. Christian is way more natural on the mic than Edge is at this point. Edge sounds really labored and rehearsed when he's delivering his promos.
 

Aiii

So not worth it

Christian is one of the best mic workers in the business, always has been.

Shame he's so underrated/underutilized. I'm just glad he got to be WHC, even if it was only a short run.

Yeah, I'm watching a show now and I suddenly thought 'Whow, hang on, Christian is way better than Edge...'!

Christian has always been better than Edge. Since day one. I don't know why Edge was the superstar of the group. With the Rockers and Hart Foundation, it made sense that there was a breakout star. HBK was far more charismatic and a much better talker than Marty. Bret was better than Anvil at everything. Christian has always been a better talker, better wrestler, better face, better heel, much more diverse in the ring.

I guess Edge had a better body or something. I can't really think of anything Edge did better than Christian besides coming off crazy in promos. Christian did the cool face thing better, the stoogey heel better, the sleazy guy better, the cheap heel better. Everything. He even does the spear better.

I'm still in love with his current theme, he should never change it.

He's supposed to be fit now, don't see why he's not on TV. It's not like they can't use a upper-level midcarder to put over some lower midcarders. Hell, put him with Hell No to battle the shield, he'll sell the ever living crap out of those three.
