Great story....the journalist tweeted Punk and he's a big fan of the liquor store owner now (ironic?).

The guy was shot in the eye in a hold-up because he wouldn't hand over the money to the robber. Police later arrested two suspects.

There's a video in the piece, too. The guy tells the newsman that being attacked was not the worst thing to happen to him recently, seeing Punk lose to Rock was.

Just watched a Vadersault compilation on YouTube. Was there ever a more intimidating wrestler than Vader? I really need to check out the old NWA/early WCW days. I've heard his work and Cactus Jack was pretty solid. I was more of a WWF fan as a little guy.

Vader was at his best - in America at least - during his early 90s WCW run. They had some really good stuff in the early 90s. Some ridiculous gimmicks and dumb booking but some really good in-ring work.

Vader in the early 90's was fantastic...

Cactus Jack, Sting, Flair, Ron Simmons...had some underrated WCW Worldwide type matches with Steamboat

There is a good match with Vader and Bam Bam tagging up against the Steiners floating around the internets somewhere. Same for a Vader/Austin v. Flair/Arn match.

Found It!

El Generico passed his physicals and officially signed on the dotted line today.

He will report to Florida where he will learn how to work, brother.

Meltzer is now saying TLC did 71,000 domestic. He said it was so low he thought there had to be an error, so he made calls to WWE to confirm and they never got back to him.

That's a 30% drop from the last two years.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

So yeah, keep telling yourself Ziggler should be winning Rumbles and headlining WrestleMania (not that anybody here is doing that, but look around the internet).

 

[JimLeavy59]

Now the people who went on about how Ryback is proving to be a draw back in December are now backing off and saying "well you can't sell PPV's around that time of the year". I really hope Ryback goes through the midcard and chases the IC or US title but I think Vince is going to put all his eggs in this guys basket.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

El Generico is telling people that he will be wrestling without the mask in Florida.

oh boy.

Road to WM fantasy booking. This is from before I read the SD spoilers.

World Title:
Ziggler wins Elimination Chamber. First SD afterwards (maybe Raw), Ziggler's in the back with Big E and AJ with the big gold belt and scoffs as he says "I don't need THIS anymore" and throws away the MITB suitcase.
Later, Jericho is walking in the back and fishes the suitcase out of a trash can, with a contemplative look on his face.

In another vignette, Jericho visits Booker, who tells him he'll make a phone call for Jericho, because he doesn't know an answer.

In a bumper, we see Booker getting off the phone, and telling Teddy to get Jericho.

In the main event, ADR gets his rematch against Ziggler. Ziggler has AJ and Big E with him. Mid-match, Big Show runs down, does his finisher punch on Big E, and starts brawling with ADR. Ziggler tries to get Show out of there (so he can win the match), and Show nails him with the WMD, too. ADR and Show brawl to the back.... and Jericho comes out with the ref, nails Big E (who is recovering) with the MITB suitcase, Codebreaker to Ziggler, new champ. Sets up a potential show stealing WM main event, and you have Ziggler go over there.

We all know it'll be Rock/Cena. At Elimination Chamber, right before the Rock/Punk match, show Ryback/Sheamus/Orton brawling with the Shield backstage. Rock goes over clean. Next night, Punk cuts a promo how nothing is fair, he's the best, etc...

*DONG*

UT comes out, and we set up the match. This assumes Lesnar/HHH at WM.

OR

The Shield is dispatched, and the Rock is about to win... Lesnar's music hits, and he hits the ring and lays the Rock out. He pulls Punk on top of the Rock, and the lights go out, with UT's bell.

Lights up, Lesnar is laid out, Rock is on top of Punk, 1, 2, 3. That would set up the Lesnar/UT battle, but they may wait until next year for that one. That would also leave Punk without an opponent.

Larry Ginger, NXT Superstar.

never seen the guy in my life ... must tag with that Baron Corbin guy

 

[EmpireWF]

He'll be fine. He's talented and especially in the environment they have now...he may not get a big opportunity for awhile, but his time will come.

I agree, Baron Corbin is an undeniable talent.

TNA taking Impact on the road. PWI says the announcement from Dixie tomorrow will be a live Impact followed by a taped one on the road. They'll still hit Orlando, though.

First one will be in March in Hoffman Estates, IL at the Sears Centre Arena.

Good.
