“We all forgot about Curtis Axel.” -Michael Cole

The entire Cena match, all Cole did was bring up how Superman was hurt and that he maybe he shouldn't have competed that night because of what Ryback did to him.

It shows to me that:

A) Ryback's only interested in hurting Cena and can't get it done when it comes to getting the belt off of the dude; therefore an also-ran when they ran out of people for Cena to fight again.

B) The ONE guy they told Heyman to push since Punk's out/retiring and Brock only does PPV matches is fucking BURIED by Shitfuck Michael Cole; how in THE FUCK is ANYONE supposed to get over when we hear that from the announcing team?

You build Henning's kid up as a killer and give him THE greatest mind/mouthpiece on TV today and nobody cares.

Fucking kills me since they've already did this to Dibiase's kid, the Usos, Cody to an extent and I'm sure Rotundo's kid is going to belly up to the proverbial plate of dicks soon as well.

Did anyone notice that they changed Axel's theme back to good one by the time the main event happened?

Why is Erick Rowen stealing d. bryans thunder?

The Wyatt Family promo package was a bit different than what I'm used to.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Most of you probably recognize Husky Harris & Brodie Lee as two of the three Wyatt Family dudes.

Here is some 6 year old footage of the third guy, when he was working NOAH prelims as "Thoruf".

The guy was stiff as a board.

Interestingly, Tsutomu Hirayanagi, Ippei Ota & Akihiko Ito were among the last class of guys to come out of the NOAH dojo, around 2006 or so (along with Atsushi Aoki). Hirayanagi is the only one left, and now works as undercard heel junior Genba Hirayanagi. He mostly does comedy and is the lowest ranked member of his heel group.

Aoki looked to be a breakout star in 2009 after his great matches with KENTA, but it stalled. He was part of the mass exodus to All Japan last year, and is one half of the AJPW junior tag champs.

Ota & Ito both quit the business. One may have retired due to injury, but in both cases were probably tired of getting the shit kicked out of them by KENTA & Marufuji. That's a big reason NOAH never has rookies come out of the dojo, because the training methods are too harsh, even by japanese standards. KENTA is not well liked because of it.

Inoue was one of the veterans dating back to the All Japan days who was cut last year.

Davey Richards migrated to New Japan when the ROH/NOAH working agreement ended. New Japan cut ties with him when he faked a car accident when he missed his flight for a tour. He has been replaced by Alex Kozlov, and the Kozlov/Rocky Romero team hasn't missed a beat.

Obviously you know what happened to Thoruf.

So of these six men, five of them promising young wrestlers, only one remains, and he's a comedy undercard heel. NOAH in a nutshell.

If you haven't had a chance to listen to the Steve Austin podcasts with Jim Ross, check it out...really really good shit. Lots of talk on wrestling philosophies and old territory philosophy. Really good stuff.

I hope they rename Samuray Del Sol something awful like Ray Sunshine

Briley Pierce?

 

[JayDizzle]

They need to do some firing, not hiring...

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Briley Pierce?

Nah, nobody knows who that is.

Probably something lame like RVD.

Who else is there? MVP? Shelton Benjamin?

If Dixie is hyping it, you just know it's ex-WWE.

I know there were rumors a few weeks ago of a possible Kevin Steen Gut Check appearance. Could they possible have just signed him instead?

I wouldn't rule it out, but if it's him it's been kept really quiet.

Mike Mondo was cut by ROH. Watch the crowd go...mild when Mike Mondo struts out.

 

[FedEx227]

TAZZ, THAT'S MIKE MONDO!

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

 

[SuperKevin]

It's Jake Roberts now that DDP Yoga has gotten him back in shape

Impact needs to cut Hogan,Kennedy,Garret and Wes Brisco, Jessie from Big Brother, Matt Morgan, Chavo, and Sting.

 

[s@ppisgod]

Impact needs to cut Hogan,Kennedy,Garret and Wes Brisco, Jessie from Big Brother, Matt Morgan, Chavo, and Sting.

Just because they constantly misuse Matt Morgan, doesn't mean they need to cut him. They can use Sting, but sparingly. He's fucking old. There's nothing wrong with a vet who can work like Chavo either. They need to cut the entire Aces and 8's, sans Bully Ray.
