Which is surprising. THQ said it sold beyond expectations so it has been holding its value. I knew I would get a ton of use out of it as my house is the mutual hang out spot for all my friends. I never knew we'd still be playing it MONTHS later and nothing else. I can't really recommend it for 60 bucks if you don't have some friends for couch co op.

Ratings are picking up with Punk, yet they are still going to book him as a loser at Summerslam because they need Triple H to be over, and they need Del Rio to have the belt in Meh-he-coo

Next Mexico tour doesn't take place until October so there's still plenty of time to let this play itself out naturally.

They should save Del Rio's cash in until the first RAW taping EVER in Mexico which is slated for Saturday, October 15th in Mexico City. The only downside to this idea is Vengeance is booked for the following weekend.
 
The guest on this week's Art of Wrestling with Colt Cabana is none other than British World of Sport legend Johnny Saint!

Louie is a brilliant series, and Futurama, though not as good as it used to be, is still quality. You take that back.

That video link, very cool. Goddamn! Near 70!

Now, I'm new to the Colt Cabana podcast. Actually, just downloaded my first one, the one with Beth Phoenix after listening to the clip posted here earlier. Should I just check the latest one out with Johnny Saint or are there some good ones you would recommend?

Just off the top of my head:

Dave Lagana
Steve Corino
Claudio Castagnoli
Kevin Steen
Chris Hero

I thought Corino and Hero were especially interesting. Steen and Claudio have great stories about learning to wrestle too.

I'm sure the Johnny Saint one will be pretty damn interesting, but Colt's done a ton of awesome podcasts in the past - there's really not too many boring ones. However, looking back at this list I'd definitely recommend;

Chris Hero (AoW 51)
Kevin Steen (AoW 50)
Tyson Dux (AoW 45)
Man Man Pondo (AoW 44)
Excalibur (AoW 43)
Steve Corino (AoW 42)
Luke Gallows (AoW 37)
The Briscoe Brothers (AoW 26)
Ace Steel (AoW 16)
Adam Pearce (AoW 7)
Christopher Daniels (AoW 5)
CM Punk (AoW 2)

Due to you both suggesting the bolded ones, I think I'll start there. Thanks for the suggestions.
 
Don't pass up the Luke Gallows podcast, either. Dude is RIDICULOUSLY funny. I've listened to that episode at least 10 times.
 
Personally I'd like it if Bryan just went back to using his first WWE theme. Yeah it was all generic rock and shit, but it worked for him.
 
That stream is like 2 Raws behind where I'm at on my Nostalgia run through of wrestling! Its been fun watching the storylines morph into each other as the months go by, probably why all the wrestlers were so over.

HBK v Owen Hart, morphed into Owen Hart v DX morphed into DX v Nation, morphed into HHH v The Rock.
HBK v Undertaker morphed into HBK v Austin... v Undertaker... v Kane (later Undertaker v Mankind), which led to Austin v McMahon, McMahon v Undertaker, Austin v Mankind... v The Rock.

Crazy great feuds that never really stopped.

yeah its crazy the game refuses to drop in price though i got it for $20 when pay asia had the asian version(region free) for sale
 
After listening to what could be D Bryan's theme, I must say that I'm dissapointed. I bet they could have gotten a good deal on another Alter Bridge song like Isolation something older like Ties that Bind. Come on E!!!! Did wonders for Edge.

Good point. But what is the reason? Was there a draft I didn't know about? Also, has Sin Cara been released, or just suspended?

Sin Cara has been suspended, but a lot of people think that he's going to get released soon.
 
Getting a page from Jericho's book: So many hypocrites in here, being all self-conscious about wearing a wrestling related (or any other hobby) t-shirt.

WWE still does the draft, but ignores its usage after three months.

On the newest episode of Observer radio they have said its now been decided he is coming back. Supposedly he sells merchandise to under 5s better than anyone else in the company.

It's a sad thing. I wish the draft did something real and important. It did break up the Miz and Morrison showing that Morrison is universes behind the Miz in every area except prancing, though.

Which shows us how much he have improved, back to the ECW days Morrison was better in everything, even in the promo department. One example of Miz improving is hes selling against Mysterio moves, in the first fight Miz had lots of problems trying to sell a head scissors, last raw he did a decent work doing that.
 
The rumoured (and likely) card for Summerslam is actually pretty good:

WWE Championship Unification Match
John Cena vs. CM Punk

No Holds Barred Match for the World Heavyweight Title
Christian (c) vs. Randy Orton

WWE Divas Title Match
Kelly Kelly (c) vs. Beth Phoenix

Sheamus vs. Mark Henry (Will be announced on SmackDown)

The Miz vs. Rey Mysterio
Alberto Del Rio vs. Kofi Kingston
Dolph Ziggler vs. Alex Riley
Ezekiel Jackson vs. Cody Rhodes
Daniel Bryan vs. Wade Barrett
