      I think it's acually 5 on 5, but either way, CHIKARA is a good fit.

      Also, 2 Cold Scorpio and Nick & Matt Jackson announced. I figured the Jackson's would be iinvolved it this because they've been DG semi-regulars for a while now...bugt I haven't seen 2 Cold since his run in NOAH several years back.

        I figured Cannon would be a shoe in as well but gabe might be the reason there.

          I fully suspect that Cena will have a guest spot in the new Terminator movie coming out... I know that if I were slammed into a searchlight by a 400/500+ pound man, I wouldn't get out of bed for a week.

          ...then again, if were a pro wrestler, my ass wouldn't see the light of day out of jobbing for greenhorns and old guys like "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan so...

                Still though, it does him no good to almost NEVER get hurt. You have to show some type of ill effects.

                That reminds me of the time when Stone Cold picked up HHH's car at maybe Survivor Series 99 and dropped it from like 40 feet and he was on TV Monday with a band-aid on his nose.

                You have to have some percieved notion that guys are getting hurt, in fact it would help his character even more. If fans felt that Edge took Cena away from them for a few weeks, he would be more hated and when Cena eventually comes back it'll feel like they finally got their guy back.

                  cena did need a ref to take him out there and it wasn't like he was running down the ramp and giving the big show the FU err the attitude adjustment. All he did was stand swaying back in forth and looked at the big show....

                    I am plenty critical of a lot of the WWE does at this point, but I didn't have any real issue with that. They sold that Cena was injured. He didn't respond to The Miz's challenge and played up barely being able to stand. He didn't attack or directly confront The Big Show. I think they sold that he was messed up decently well. Would keeping him off air sell it more? Maybe. Depends on how they bring him back and where they are going with it...

                        So Biss - do you think Danielson could actually get over in the WWE? I mean, he's obviously very skillful, but working the WWE style would mean cutting back on things? And while he has the charisma to work smaller crowds, would he get over with the WWE fans who have no idea of his previous work and most of whom probably don't care...?

                          I think he could make it to a IC Title level. lack of mike skills will keep him from that top level. you emention the small crowd charisma wicth effects alot of indy guys, CM Punk made it work others have not. That could be what killed him. He would be best brought in like WCW brought in Beniot, they have to tell the fan base that he is a big deal and a great wrestler.

                              Sports leagues have been saying that for a while now. And every day, I can still go and find feeds for nearly anything I want on JTV and numerous other sites. For every one they shutdown, another 5 will spring up to replace it

                                They've actually done a pretty solid job of eliminating feeds as of late, particularly the NBA during the playoffs, and UFC during their PPVs. Still never have had trouble with WWE PPVs tho, when I do occasionally tune in.
