Flair's retirement ceremony on RAW, even now when I watch it, I get a little bit misty-eyed. -
He did a one-shot appearance in ROH after he left TNA, and before he joined up with NXT, so apparently there isn't any lingering heat from when he left in 2011. GFW is under new management, so there shouldn't be any reason why he can't get a slot in GFW, if he wants to go there. I don't really see a slot for him in NJPW, unless they stick him in Kenny Omega's former role as the junior division rep for the Bullet Club.

Actually, they lost the titles by countout, to Buddy Rose and Doug Somers. For my own pick: David Arquette. Need I say more?
-
The Hogan/Andre dq was designed to get Hogan out of there without having to beat him. So, if they're going all the way with Ted, who is he beating in the finals? Based off the brackets, the only one who seems to make sense to me is Steamboat.
-
The consistency is probably attributed to Cornette. He clearly does an insane amount of research to prepare for these shoots, the last coupe of cold openings have been especially great. This series has shown how good of an interviewer he is, with his ability to keeps things moving along, and knowing the right questions to ask. And, now it seems like they're trying to cover some of the areas that aren't really remembered all that well, like Detroit and Houston (NWA Classics notwithstanding).

Savage got wins over Warrior during his first title run in 1989 after his heel turn. I don't know if it was specifically pins, however.
-
It was more the former than the latter. He and Misawa weren't getting along at all by that point. Kawada had already been cast aside in favor of Kobashi, and then Misawa was trying to make Kobashi and Akiyama the new top guys, while phasing himself out. So, it wasn't so much that he was sick of being in Misawa's shadow, as it was that he was just sick of Misawa.
-
Punk and Cabana did that once, when they had an iron man match, and both lost track of the falls. So, they did the pin reversal sequence with Punk getting two counts, and Cabana getting three counts, since he was supposed to go over.
-
This. Cactus Jack got into WCW off the strength of his work in Continental, which almost nobody (save for Cornette) was watching at the time.

Kayfabe Commentaries has announced that they've signed Manny Fernandez to do a YouShoot. If nothing else, this ought to be entertaining, much like Larry Zybyszko's WWE Timeline Interview.

This is perfectly booked segment, to give WCW a decisive win over the nWo and end the year on a high note. Flair gets another crack at Bischoff, after being denied his rightful revenge the night before. The Horsemen are present to stop nWo interference, and the three of them and Arn keep the nWo from saving Bischoff's hide. When they're getting too outnumbered, DDP and Konnan help even the odds. The Giant finally makes it into the ring, only for the Macho Man to take him out. Flair does the Figure Four and Bischoff holds on as long as he can, but eventually has to give up. He holds out a tad longer than most TV jobbers, but not nearly as long as anyone who faced Flair in a legit TV or PPV main event. The show ends with an in-ring celebration between Flair, the Horsemen, Dusty Rhodes, Tony Schiavone, Larry Zybyszko, and a host of others.

Bubba and the Briscoes won the ROH Six Man Titles tonight. I assume it's due to TK O'Ryan getting hurt last night.
-
The only thing that I didn't particularly care for was the final stretch, with all the head drops, and the kicks and knees to the head. I don't particularly care for Kenny Omega, but, I also don't want him to turn into the next Chris Benoit.
-
A few months back, there was talk in this thread about the streaming rights to TNA. Has anything ever happened as far as that goes? I can't imagine why they haven't tried to get Impact on Hulu already.
-
I think an argument could be made for Adam Cole. While he's obviously more well known for what he's done in ROH. He was doing the heel shtick, including becoming the PWG Champion, close to a year before he did in ROH.
-
Aside from the Young Bucks and Joey Ryan, do they have any core talent left that's based in SoCal?
-
PWG has more or less taken ROH's place as the 'super indy' fed.
-
I generally liked Shibata's performance here. As much as I hate the pop up and no selling stuff, the lariat stuff established his neck as a weak spot. But, Goto wasn't anything special to me. He had a few good spots to move that story forward, but, it was Shibata doing the heavy lifting here.
-
What an odd way to list the match. I assumed that Benoit was on Jericho's team, since it's so vague.
I'm with DMJ and Stro, the day after the Rumble when Punk walked out. I still get a chuckle out of the fact that they apparently wanted Bryan/Sheamus for WrestleMania XXX, because it sure seems like they had some kind of hard on for that match. - Scheduled for 'Mania XXVII, but moved to pre show and then turned into a Battle Royal - The 18 second title change at 'Mania XXVIII - The plan for 'Mania XXX before deciding to go all the way with Bryan - The night after 'Mania XXXI is when Sheamus came back and turned heel by attacking Bryan, and more than likely would have gone to an IC Title program if Bryan hadn't been hurt again.
Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. When Adam Cole won the TV Title from Roderick Strong in 2012, they put a video of the title change on the homepage of the website, even though it was at least two weeks away from airing. But, when they officially split Cole and O'Reilly earlier in the year, they still had them teaming up at house shows/DVD tapings until the show aired.
No love for Archie Gouldie or Yvon Robert
