Want to see dave go apeshit?

Maryse fucks THE MIZ. True story.

Thanks to Larry, I put on the AWA..check out these Lee Marshall gems, as he attempts to put over the champ...

I think any real wrestling fan knows, when it comes down to it, you can take your steroids and your facepaint and your geeky talkers, but the real fans will take real wrestlers like Larry Zbyszko, Brad Rheingans, and Nikita Koloff!

Larry Zbyszko is a master of the martial arts!

Larry Zbyszko set the all time attendance record against Bruno Sammartino, it was at Shea Stadium in 1980. The largest crowd in wrestling history. Two other men faced off on that card, their names were Hulk Hogan and Andre The Giant. But they werent the main event, no sir, the people paid to see Larry Zbyszko, and never have more people paid before or since!

Kevin Nash -

On his Tweet knocking The Miz’s title win: “The other night I said something about Miz – I don’t even know the guy. Don’t really have an opinion on him, I just wanted to see how riled up I could get people. People just get furious.”

On whether Miz as champion is good for business: “I think what happened is that the company went PG. When you don’t fall into that demographic – well, my son is 14 and he doesn’t have a problem with it.”

He later referred to the WWE as a "buzz kill" and added, "They think youth sells. I've watched Gran Torino 15 times - bad ass sells, not Men's Fitness in trunks."

hmmnn...

WWE stars need to learn to be more bad ass..

Tyler Black is NOT on season 4 of NXT.

The Prodigy Mike Bennett... I'm genuinely interested in who the hell this guy is.

Did he come out of the school or something? I can't find jack shit on the guy.

The AWA was brutal.

Eric Bischoff, Lee Marshall, and some of the worst non-scripted promos you will ever see in your life.

It is now obvious why Vince likes scripts...these fucks suck at talking.

Not much out there, but he is not from the school.

All I've been able to find is he was a New England indy guy. Kevin Kelly was his connection to ROH and he tried out with them in the summer. They liked him so they signed him to a full-time deal.

According to this local piece, he's 25-years old:

G-Rilla, Roughhouse Ryan O'Reilly, Byron Saxton, and a lot of nobodies.

Nobody of interest in NXT4.

Interesting. They're sure doing a hell of a good job pumping him up. I hope it isn't just a prelude to another arrogant heel gimmick. The only way I can think to follow the sorts of promos they're doing on him is a meteoric rise, Goldberg style.

I don't think RoH can afford to do things like that. If they do and it works, he gets over in a big way, he's gone to the WWE when his first contract is up.

This could actually be awesomely bad, G-Rilla is supposedly an awkwardly big stiff of terrible proportions. Byron Saxton is the goof who was the ECW color guy at the very end. YES, BYRON SAXTON CALLED THE FINAL MATCH IN ECW HISTORY.

Roughhouse Ryan O'Reilly has been hanging around for years, but i'd be more excited if it was this Ryan O'Reilly:

[Warner2BruceTD]

Derrick Bateman - Pro Daniel Bryan

Connor O'Brien - Pro Alberto Del Rio

Jacob Novak - Pro Dolph Ziggler

Johnny Curtis - Pro R-Truth

Byron Saxton - Pro Chris Masters

Brodius Clay - Pro Ted DiBiase

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

More super corny names. ALBERTO DEL RIO is on this.

...but you already knew that

[EmpireWF]

Which genius came up with Connor O'Brien?

Fire them on the spot!

I do like what ROH has been doing with Bennett. It feels so unlike ROH, which makes it stand out. Hope he can actually deliver in the ring, though.

This season of NXT looks like a joke. I believe they're only going through with it because of obligations to foreign broadcasters. The only I think really has a future is Saxton, and that's as a color guy. I didn't mind him on ECW and he's always seemed pretty natural when he was doing commentary for FCW.
