This is a thing.

John Cena fights a demon ghost bear in it.

I want it.

So odd seeing them with trunks on over their pants. I honestly think it makes a world of difference for each of them in their 'look'. I hope if they all go single soon the WWE does something good with them because the way they look into that match, you just don't see that special 'cool' factor they have with The Shield swat gear on.

Vince is ITCHIN to get Roman Reigns in a tight pair of trunks.

Looks like Kalisto & El Local will be forming a tag team:

If I told you a year ago that Samuray Del Sol & Alberto Del Rio's lackey would soon be a WWE tag team, you'd think I was nuts.

I like the new direction WWE seems to be taking with increased emphasis on tag team wrestling. No more random pairings but rather legit teams with strong chemistry

 

[Ravin]

Now they just need to get the titles of Cody and Goldust, as that story is basically done IMO, and has ran its course. You got the Usos, Real Americans, Prime Time Playerz, The Shield (just throw them in) Wyatt Family, Los Matadores, 3MB :shifty: and you can mix in some others as well. Real Americans would be great champions, The Usos seem due, PTP missed the boat.

I was a big fan of a recent Ricardo Rodriguez tweet where he was like "Getting ready to be a WWE Superstar...doing armdrags!"

WTF is up with the Performance Center emphasizing arm drags so much? Yoshi was talking about those fucking things, too, recently.

I've stated my case for why I like the emphasis on tag wrestling before...but, just to reiterate...

Old school mentality...putting guys that aren't ready to be singles stars into tag teams help them get better faster...nothing gets you more prepared then doing it for real...waiting forever for guys to be singles stars gives you mid-00's WWE...it sucks.

Tag team wrestling, is usually, very low stakes wrestling. The 50/50 booking works better in the tag scene then it does in the singles scene.

Because it works well with 50/50 booking and its low stakes, you can load up a RAW or Smackdown with tag matches and have good, long form, entertaining matches where the result isn't as important. This ends up putting more emphasis on singles matches...singles matches should be special...you should pay, or tune into final segments to see big singles matches.

Hmm..this sounds familiar...

Eh, a lot of successful tag teams were completely thrown together guys who just made it work. People were scratching their heads at The Hollywood Blondes and Beer Money and Owen and Yokozuna and the like, despite what some revisionist history guys will tell you. But they all worked out pretty well.

So apparently AJ Lee is catching a shit ton of heat backstage. She saw Punk talking to Michelle Beadle at the tribute to the troops and threw a tantrum. So i wouldn't be surprised if she dropped the title to Natty tonight.

Even before that, I expected the drop to Natty. They really want someone from Total Divas holding the title.

AJ Lee, clearly a chick you want to bone...but also clearly, a stage 5 clinger.

Don't they say in wrestling, your best gimmick is just your own personality with the dial jacked to 10.

So Kofi Kingston is less boring in real life.

So remember that poll they had for what to call the title after this match and they were simply going with the Unified champion.


Knew it would never be called that and is going to be the WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

I thought Punk was with Lita? Or am I really far behind
