Nakamura I could see. Okada seems a weirder stretch.

I find myself oddly hopeful about Cesaro again. I've only seen highlights of the Cena vs. Cesaro match, but it seems like there is a plan behind that. The DQ ending with Cesaro looking strong (with a Sharpshooter applied, no less), and Owens even directing some comments to him -- there seems to be a plan here, right? Using the Sharpshooter seems to suit Cesaro too, given that it seems a tribute to his fallen partner and could have possibly been "taught" to him by Bret Hart (in kayfabe terms).
Cesaro seems like he should be a heel, but the face turn with Kidd worked to a degree, and Cesaro kicks so much ass in the ring that you want to root for him. And now that it's OK to cheer him, I could actually see him clawing some ground as an over act. Am I insane? |

Well he flipped the bird, so that's likely going to put him right back into the doghouse.

Yeah...but at least Cesaro showed something. Isn't that what Vince has been waiting for from him?

Nakamura has the raw charisma that translates to any audience in the world.

Yeah. He basically did what a 5 year old does when he wants to do it but doesn't want to get it trouble. It was quite lame.

That's way more mature than using your ring finger. That's like 15 year old status.

Woooo the New Kaientai would be awesome! They should have gimmicks where they challenge their opponents to a math battle.

Considering who the company has right now on the roster in somewhat meaningful spots I would think that Shinsuke Nakamura and Kazuchika Okada would do just fine. A little time in NXT to make sure that they can work a little less stiff, Unless they are wrestling someone who likes it stiff, they will burn down the house.

WWE holding NXT tryouts in Japan was debunked as just a prank by a known wrestling troll on Twitter. Also likely trolling again by saying the WWE is considering a tryout for female wrestlers while in Japan.
Before being debunked, Dave Meltzer who has strong connections with Japanese wrestling said he was unaware of a tryout even taking place. Same for the rumored time it occurred because it would have been almost impossible with WWE's Japan tour schedule. Quote:

So, watching more Attitude Era Raws, and just saw the episode where Mike Tyson is introduced and ends up having a pull apart brawl with Austin.
They really aren't editing these much based on them having the final shot of Vince trying to calm down Tyson in the parking lot while Tyson yelling at him to "bring that faggot ass Austin out." 1998 was a very different time. |

I wonder if they edit that Jerry Lawler promo where he calls Goldust's 8 year old daughter a whore.

The tone of that post is more likely "stupid Ambrose" as in "Damn....stupid Ambrose... taking Renee off the market.... Otherwise I would have had a shot...." followed by a "lol" laughing at his own joke.

That's the product of a guy who won $35 million power ball lottery back in 2008.
I'd like to think if I won $35 million I could come up with a better wrestling concept than all women with stupid gimmicks and hey there's comedy sketches too. |

I watched a few episodes. I felt like many of the girls were better than the shit gimmicks they had. Paige Webb was Serena.
Also, the announcer was shit. He made Michael Cole sound like Gordon Solie. |
