NXT - ARRIVAL
She's been at most of the tapings/house shows sitting in the crowd. I'm guessing she's looking for a job or something?

NXT - ARRIVAL
Do you have any specific matches to check out? I'll admit to only having seen them three times - this show, and a couple squashes on the recent episodes of NXT I have been catching up on. I'm normally a fan of gimmick'ed up tag teams (I'm a Demolition fan ...) so I was into their entrance but underwhelmed by the in-ring portion. Do they have any reasoning behind the gladiator garb or is it just something they wear? I liked the American wolves match and the matches with Hunico/Camacho. They have gotten better since they toned down the gimmick. The Adrian Neville vs Bo Dallas rematch that took place tonight was way better than the ladder match. Especially the finish. And wait till you people see Adam Rose. So great.

NXT - ARRIVAL
Solomon Crowe Johnny.. I went to the show but round up having to watch it outside since Full Sail sold too many tickets and about 200 people that bought tickets couldn't go in. It was a total mess outside with people getting angry and asking for refunds. At first, the officials didn't want to give refunds but they finally did after some people left. Best thing of the night was meeting Mojo Rawley and Enzo Amore's awesome silver shoes. Oh and Cesaro/Zayn was pretty damn great too.

Comments that don't warrant a thread - Part 3
Renee Young does commentary on NXT sometimes. Lita used to do Sunday Night Heat and Missy Hyatt used to do the WCW syndication shows.

Punk Walks Out of WWE
At tonight's NXT tapings, they were confiscating signs with any mention of Punk. The show was almost sabotaged with Punk chants throughout the night. Of course, during some downtime, they showed a commercial for the best of 2013 dvd with CM Punk on the cover. Some epic trolling there.

Wrestle Kingdom 8
I'm guessing you don't watch Adam Cole matches in PWG? Isn't that his whole gimmick there?

Meltzer mentioned in the daily update today that Los Matadores are in for this weekends WWC show vs Thunder and Lightning. Good to see Thunder/Lightning back but the Colons are also bringing Torito with them. I know the Colons can work some WWC shows but I didn't know Torito could come with them? When they were managed by Rosa Mendes, did she ever join them in WWC?

It also looks like the Wolves are headed to TNA instead of WWE. I guess working with Bromans is better than working with the Ascension?

Current WWE
The heavyweight champion of the world doesn't even get entrances sometimes. Hell even HHH doesn't get one. The Brock thing was so great I didn't care about the main event angle. That F5 to Mark Henry was a thing of beauty. As long as this Wyatts/Daniel thing leads to Roman Reigns making the save for Bryan during a Wyatts/Shield mania match, I'm all for it.

Jerry Lawler
Pretty sure it's a tv segment during a interview. Haven't gotten there in my 1994 viewing yet. I'm hoping the 90's Lawler set has multiple Jerry Lawler vs Reggie B Fine matches on it.

Wrestling New Years Resolutions <<2014 thread - No more resolutions here>>
- Continue to go to the NXT Full Sail tapings - Get on those Jerry Lawler comps and maybe yearbooks - Try catching up on the Wrestling podcasts( Still haven't listened to Austin's or the Titans podcast).

He'll probably go to AAA until CMLL figures out Mistico II is a failure and do a Mistico vs Mistico feud.

Mason Ryan, Rosa Mendes, also Corey Graves. Graves has gotten worse since he's been in developmental I think.

Took a backdrop and landed on top of his head like Benoit in that ECW match vs Sabu.

Matt, you are gonna love Regal vs Cesaro that took place tonight. Such a brutal and awesome match. Also Davey Richards almost broke his neck Benoit style in his tryout match. I would be really surprised if they aren't signed though as they were really over with the crowd vs the Ascension.

Daga reminds me more of Kyle O'Reily than Davey. He's alright but like Krisz said, he's pretty green. Plus he's in the Perros groups so he has to team with useless guys like Psicosis and faces awful wrestlers like Joe Lider and Crazy boy weekly. He sure does job a lot for a guy Konnan apparently likes. Fenix is real good when he's facing his brother but I don't think he's as good as guys like Titan, Mascara Dorada or Aerostar.

I'm guessing you are talking about TNT's manager? Yeah that was surprising. I was surprised WWC showed Sting/Carlito on the show since they said they wouldn't. Did they ever show the Carlito/Ray Gonzalez vs Thunder/Lightning masks vs hair match on the tv show from last year? Sting/Carlito was pretty bad too. Sting really showed his age.
-
OUCH!! Which moves make you cringe when you see them?
The Spanish fly. Especially when Sombra did it to 40+ year old Ultimo Guerrero at the CMLL anniversary show and they almost hit the ropes. Former CMLL guy Mortiz used to do it in the first match of a Friday show on the floor.

The ass-kickingest matches ever
The first Jerry Lawler vs Snowman match from 1990 should be mentioned. UWFI Lawler was awesome.

WWE Midcard Purges
If you got rid of all these guys, who would replace them? Only a handful of the NXT guys are really ready for the main roster and would take months to get over. Getting rid of Santino is ridiculous as he's more over than most of the main eventers these days.

Just got my ticket for it. I would think Regal/Cesaro would be on tv since they have been doing the angle on TV. Bo is defending the title at the taping too. Should be a packed show with TNA in town. NXT is also running Billy Gunn and Bo vs Neville and Zayn at the old FCW arena this Thursday. That should be interesting.

Was the TNT lawsuit centered around the whole Action Jackson as "Original" TNT storyline? I always found that to be strange.

Yeah that was pretty crazy. I'm guessing he won't win the title though. Crossfire looks good with the Carlito/Rey Fenix mask vs hair match. Hasn't Rey lost his mask in WWC before? And WWC losing three guys in one facebook post has to hurt. Of course they are just undercard guys but 2 are babyfaces. WWC needs to get some new talent.
