So Ryback's a complete pussy now. That's nice.

[krulmichael]

Mark Henry continues his hot streak of promos. Solid work.

[EmpireWF]

Mark Henry is awesome.

[JayDizzle]

So Ryback's a complete pussy now. That's nice.

Beat up on nobody's until he got a title shot and couldn't finish the job when it came down to crunch time (The Shield, Punk, Cena, Henry...).

When has he NOT been a complete pussy.

ROH HOOPLA July 11 in Chicago:

This video is picking up a lot of steam. I found it amusing.

Part II!!!

Featuring a "where did they find THAT guy?!" moment.

Has Truth Martini ever been this entertaining?

Has Truth Martini ever been entertaining, period?

[JayDizzle]

So... Cena's scared of Henry now apparently.

Or at least the bodily harm he can inflict.

BULLSHIT.

God'd sell to SuperCena and now he's "scared" of a guy he's beat a few times already in his career?



In other news, the Wyatt Family on RAW next week.

Get your sheep mask ready.

JUDGE JEFF JONES?!?!?!

Drunken Roddy Strong?

Seriously, if I was in Chicago...they sold me...I'd go.

Fed better be in attendance. Live tweeting and enjoying all of the

HOOPLA!

I would SO BE THERE if I was within a few hundred miles. This is so out of the box for SUPER SERIOUS ROH, I bet it'll be a lot of fun.

Fed says it's at some sketchy bar, I don't think he's going. Plus I don't think he can sit through the Jimmy Jacobs concert.

[Warner2BruceTD]

Have the announcers stated that the Uso's & Roman Reigns are second cousins?

[Warner2BruceTD]

The commercial for the new War Games DVD says that in WCW, for "nearly three decades" War Games was used to settle feuds.

Sounded extremely fishy. So I looked it up.

First War Games match was 1987. The last was 1997. LOL. Three decades.

[Warner2BruceTD]

LOL @ Jericho saying "Ryback is absolutely bullying The Miz right now", followed by (I think it was JBL but it was tough to tell) one of the other announcers meekly saying "I don't know about bullying, but he is beating him up..."

Obviously somebody was screaming into the headset, because BE A STAR, you can't say bullying.

The All Japan split is now official. Just when they restocked with NOAH refugees, half the roster decides to bolt.

All Japan Pro-Wrestling has officially announced their active roster as of July 1, 2013.

Taiyo Kea, Joe Doering, Suwama, Takao Omori, Manabu Soya, KENSO, Akira Raijin (aka SUSHI), Seiya Sanada, Akebono (Freelance), Masanobu Fuchi, and Andy Wu (currently in Mexico) will be remaining in the promotion, as of this time.

They are joined by “Burning" which consists of Yoshinobu Kanemaru, Go Shiozaki, Jun Akiyama, Kotaro Suzuki, and Atsushi Aoki.

This makes it official that Masakatsu Funaki, Masayuki Kono, Yasufumi Nakanoueno, KAI, Ryota Hama, Shuji Kondo, Minoru Tanaka, Kaz Hayashi, and Hiroshi Yamato have left the promotion.

These nine wrestlers are now freelance from All Japan Pro-Wrestling and it is heavily speculated that they will be joining Keiji Mutoh following his resigning from All Japan at the end of May.

After this news broke, Seiya Sanada had a change of heart and left as well.

Because it's essentially an even split, neither side really has enough talent for a full time promotion. Check out this pathetic Korakuen Hall lineup:

AJPW, 14.07.2013 (GAORA TV)
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

1. Hikaru Sato & MAZADA vs. Kotaro Suzuki & Atushi Aoki
2. Yoshinobu Kanemaru vs. SUSHI
3. Takao Omori & Masao Inoue vs. Taiyo Kea & Joe Doering
4. KENSO vs. Jun Akiyama
5. 2/3 Falls: Suwama vs. Go Shiozaki

(that's not a partial card. that's the show.)

Figured they meant OVER THE COURSE of NEARLY three decades. Had matches in two different decades.

Gotta classify everything bro.

It's at some really terrible bar in the south suburbs of Chicago (epicenter of trash), that's not even the problem though because they put the shows in the corner. The problem is Jimmy Jacobs... I can barely sit through that dude wrestling a 10 minute match let alone a concert. Perhaps if they say that you can throw stuff at the performers I'll consider it.

[FedEx227]

Also, they are charging $25 for....

Inter-gender Six Person Tag Team Match
"Unbreakable" Michael Elgin, BJ Whitmer & MsChif vs ACH, Tadarius Thomas & Athena
