"Say something stupid, Paul!" had to be an ad lib, because there is no fucking way WWE creative came up with that. Gold.

The whole angle, Punk is great, Brock is great, Paul is great, Axel is great, the whole thing reminds me of watching TBS at 9:05 eastern on Saturday morning, with the heel stable cutting a promo and setting up the big main event at The Omni for the following Friday, and me being pissed I live in New Jersey and can't see Flair take on Road Warrior Hawk or Dusty Rhodes.

MVP had one of the only memorable runs with a secondary title in many many years with that US Title run. Very few others come to mind, if any.

EDIT- makes his New Japan run look even worse in hindsight. What a letdown.

There is no way that WWE Creative is booking this. Its gold.

The promo work has been some of the best in the WWE in a while. Just A+.

Not a chance they've touched it. It's too simple, too effective and too "wrestling". As you said, it's TBS in the 80s.

Random thought...a guy could get over like a billion dollars with the Nakamura gimmick in the United States. Its got such a Russell Brand vibe to it, I can see the American Audiance eating it up.

I demand you use that as the photo for the next G1 review. I'll even upload it for you now.

I think if they let Suzuki be Suzuki he would draw a billion dollars with Cena. Just hook him up with Heyman or Zeb, and let him bring TAKA as his lackey.

Can you imagine Suzuki no selling, laughing in the face of, and running through people like Sin Cara, Kofi, Justin Gabriel, et al on RAW every week?

The only thing that I can see being a problem haulting his effectiveness...you won't understand his random swearing and insulting of his opponents mothers while he's slapping him around or while he's in a submission move.

Imagine Suzuki's English yelling out "Your girlfriend's cunt is rotten...argggggggggg!" while Daniel Bryan has him in the Yes Lock?

Continuing on Nakamura. Ambrose has a little bit of that vibe. That...methodical aloofness.

They are very similar.

C'mon guys, he would be pegged as a Martial Arts Expert with flute music within seconds of arriving.
