"Let me remind everybody how short this man is, because I have an archaic & irrational obsession with height equating to star power. And i'm secretly gay and attracted to tall dudes."

I mean, Vince can have his opinion, but why the need to tear down an obviously very over babyface. That is something that will never make sense to me. Its just the most common sense thing.

Its 2013...the fans don't want to see Vince McMahon get his comeuppance or to be proven wrong. They want to see Vince get behind who they get behind or at the very least, say nothing at all. Its 2013, the fans would rather cheer McMahon than boo him, but for some reason MR MCMAHON wants to be booed...and no one will boo him.

How does Dana White look up to him as a business man? That would be like Dana putting Weidman down before his fight with Silva? He's a PROMOTER! Instead of promoting his main eventers and his main event for the 2nd (3rd?) biggest show of the year, he's putting them down. Especially Danielson, who could be in a star-making show. And Vince isn't in the feud storyline. He's just doing it to be a douche. So...what a gigantic douche.

I love how all of a sudden, one day, Vince doesn't want Cena as the champ.

I love how all of a sudden, one day, Vince doesn't want Cena as the champ.

I would assume, if it's possible to rationalize a fictional character, that "Mr. McMahon" tolerates "Cena" in that the guy doesn't buck against the company at all.

The white bread Superman is perfectly content in spouting the same old shit, fighting the same group of monsters and lunatics for the belt that nobody else gets to have...

And it make "Mr. McMahon" money all the while.

As long as the Golden Goose is happy for the most part and won't jump ship, there's no need to say anything.

Unless you're bored.

Or Vince.

Houston, TX - The National Wrestling Alliance is proud to announce the addition of New Japan Pro Wrestling superstar Gedo, who will join the list of “invaders” that will be appearing at "NWA Invasion" events in Houston and San Antonio on October 18 and 19 respectively. These NWA events will be promoted in association with the NWA Houston and NWA Branded Outlaw Wrestling (San Antonio) promotions.

Gedo, a former four time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion, joins current IWGP Tag Team Champions Satoshi Kojima and Hiroyoshi Tenzan, who were announced by NWA Vice President Chris Ronquillo on July 17. Also appearing will be up-and-coming New Japan Pro Wrestling junior heavyweight competitor Takaaki Watanabe.

Watanabe too? Awesome. Definitely going to both shows. Fantastic.

Hopefully Archer & Smith work the shows, too. Half the card would be New Japan.

Fan in South Africa low blowed Orton after match....LOL @ Orton selling it for a couple of secs til he realized it wasn't a work. Apparently he has no balls.

[Warner2BruceTD]

Lots of people noting that Okada was hobbling around the G1 presser in noticeable pain.

23 years old, already hurting. Tanahashi's back is shot, Devitt with an elbow in bad shape and needing surgery.

It's a hard style, can't blame them for doing mostly tage & multi man matches on these tours until the big shows at the end.

What makes the style so hard compared to others? The bumps? Or just in general?
