Hell the fuck yes!

Got an email from WWE Shop noting that they are sorry about the delay. Didn't know if anyone was experiencing the same delay in orders from late November and stuff. They are shipping my order from 27 November as of yesterday.

For anyone interested, the whole script for the Raw episode before this year's Rumble was recently leaked/released.

Biggest thing a few other places have noticed was that Heyman's and Rock's promos were all improvised and not on the script.

The abysmal promo Cena gave was because he tried to do the same although his original promo was on the script and was a lot different. Would also confirm the dirtsheets stories about backstage being pissed at Cena afterwards.

Is it just me, or does Daniel Bryan seem to get a new shirt made for him like every third week?

God, the things I would do to Emma. She's so fucking charming and talented. So many of the NXT girls would be welcome additions to the main roster. Paige, Bayley and Sasha Banks all have unique personalities and/or tremendous ring skills.

A few things from the dirtsheets recently:

WWE released an official statement siding with the judge who said the kid was fully aware he was hurting his sister and not playing fake wrestling.

Gentlemen, I've got some good news and some bad news

The good news is, the 13 year old boy would killed his sister using wrestling moves was found guilty, showing that irresponsible behaviour will not be tolerated

The bad news is, ROH was impressed with his workrate and signed him to a contract

I was actually thinking about The Undertaker's interactions with the FBI earlier today, actually. I loved it when Taker got Nunzio up for the Last Ride and Nunzio did the Catholic cross thingy.

It's a shame that Paul London & Brian Kendrick couldn't play ball a bit more and didn't come along a few years later. I think they would be a tremendous addition to the current tag team division.

Brodus Clay's impending heel turn has really freshened him up to me. I've never been the biggest fan of the man, but he's showing that special flare that endeared himself to people when he first showed up on the scene. The way he works, the way he acts -- everything seems to work more smoothly as a bad guy.

He's not bad in the ring at all as well. Had some good matches in NXT, and he was 50 pounds heavier. Like all bigger wrestlers he just needs to be with the right person in the ring.

I'm not trashing the guy's ring skills, just that as a heel he seems to have more fluidity between what he's doing. He's just more interesting to watch to me.

Random thought:

Is it just me or in a weird sort of way wouldn't Jack Swagger & Curtis Axel and Ryback & Antonio Cesaro make better teams than their current arrangements? Axel could really use someone to speak for him and he's got a "Real American" vibe about him. Ryback & Cesaro would be bizarre, but their power could be used quite effectively together in different ways. Their personality clash, with Ryback being a pretty straight-forward bully and Cesaro being a more cultured figure, could be quite an entertaining dynamic.

I don't know if I would actually swap them over in some sort of elaborate double-cross/face-turn scenario, but a Real Americans vs. The Swiss-Sin City Cyborgs feud could be great for a month or so. Or maybe Axel should just turn on Ryback and help The Real Americans win the WWE Tag Team Titles, leading to a Ryback face turn (he'd be a lot more valuable as a babyface, in my opinion) and him going on a mission to crush them.

And a nasty Butterfly lock for the win.

And I'm guessing this is when his feud with the ring steps began.

Wrestling Observer and PWInsider on what the ramifications of AJ leaving means for everyone else on the TNA roster.

WWE's offer was around half of what he makes in TNA which means TNA's current offer to him was a lot lower than what they were willing to offer for Hogan.

It always turns out to be hornswoggle

I dig Triple Haitch's jacket

Damn, Vince's hair has grown back out. Almost a return to the epic pompadour.

I assume that is during the filming of Tribute to the Troops. Where is it this year?

McChord Field in Washington.

Watching TNA Impact tonight. Return of one of TNA's more stupid ideas, the "feast or fired" briefcase fiasco.

Curry Man seems to be back, though. Or at least he is going to be back for the match. He will probably be fired again.

Watching on my new tv, I notice that Dixie Carter has a lazy eye. Really distracting because she has big eyes and is drawing attention to them with her makeup.

I couldn't remember if that was the thing where three knockouts just opened up briefcases and one of them had the title in it and thus whoever opened that briefcase won the title.

Seriously, without exaggeration, might be the dumbest idea in wrestling history. A title changed hands via a game show segment.

I think that was one of them, but usually it is just they get a title shot. Four cases, one has a world title shot, one has an X-division title shot, one a tag team title shot, and one contains a pink slip.

Three guys in this graphic for this match that I have no idea who they are.

lol. Just turned it on to hear Bully Ray cut one of the weirdest fucking promos ever.

Had no idea what he said. Then again, I was only half paying attention.

They skipped Curry Man's entrance, what a rip-off. Watched this far for nothing.

AusDaenerys

BS. Curry Man just walks out on the match without doing anything.

F TNA

Basically, he cut a really cryptic sounding promo, then said Mr. Anderson raped him and that he was gonna take care of Anderson's unborn twins.

TNA is worse than WWE in everyway.

lol. Who the fuck are these scrawny fucks???

Derrick Bateman is gonna be a TNA World Champion at some point soon isn't he? lol

I swear their wrestling is just spots with no glue inbetween them.

I thought magnus was the champ because he beat AJ?

Last time I watched they actually had storylines from the top of the card to the bottom. To the point where they could actually fill a PPV with matches that had some story behind them. Which is something WWE hasn't been able to do in years. Even with twice as much television available to them.

Wait, isn't a #1 contender contract for the X Division title in one of the cases? So why is the X Division champion in the match?

I re-watched the Brock Lesnar versus John Cena match from Extreme Rules 2012. It was so unique and different. It felt like Brock Lesnar was genuinely beating up John Cena in the opening part of the match. It is one of my favorite matches of all time (top 20).

Also there's no World Champion but one of the cases contains a #1 contender contract for the World Title and some of the guys competing to become World Champion are in this match.

I need that "exploding head" gif...

Because he decided to, and apparently you can just enter yourself into a high stakes match last minute.

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/vXhLgCyWsKc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

All things considered... I really should have caught up on NXT instead

That match was fucking incredible. They got so much sympathy on Cena that the crowd comepletely turned and started popping for him when he made his comeback. That moment when he hits Lesnar with the chain and "Hulks up" while the crowd is going crazy was awesome.

For some reason, this made me think of some spoof booking thing years back where RVD was all that was left of the entirity of (the real) ECW roster, booking team, stage & sound crew, and booked himself in a title unification match where he hit a 5 Star Frog Splash on himself to win (and if I remember right, he killed himself in the process, and that's how ECW folded).

With that said, if the X Division champ is the #1 contender, I'm pretty sure TNA would try to make the person have a match with themselves.

So... winning and getting the World Championship briefcase would mean having a second shot at the title after losing it. Seems like good insurance.

God damn it, is there anything that man can't do? I can't remember who he was wrestling (I think it may have been Kofi Kingston), but they back body dropped Cesaro out of his Neutralizer and he flipped over and landed on his feet.

I really think the guy could make an amazing babyface. He's got a personality, it just doesn't really belong in serious heel characters. He's not great on the mic, but all he needs is an awkward line or two and he could charm his way into the hearts of millions.

Jack Swagger vs. Antonio Cesaro doesn't seem like something they would include at WrestleMania XXX, but I think they could go for Cesaro's biggest swing ever and try and create a moment. Cesaro swinging around Colter for a long time and then celebrating with Hulk Hogan as Real American plays could be a great moment too. Hogan probably can't wrestle, but he could endorse Cesaro as a true American hero and the strongest man in the world, brotha!

This is easily one of the stupidest things in wrestling. I don't mind the idea of there being three title shots on the line during a match. That's kind of interesting. But one of the winners, a superior athlete who defeats some of the other guys in the match and wins as much as anyone else in it wins, getting fired? Why would you fire a fucking winner?

If I were AJ Styles (and I'm definitely not...seriously), then I would accept the pay-cut from WWE and see it as a challenge to earn more money and prove my worth to the wrestling world again. I strictly say that as a fan, though. His body hurts and he has a family to support, so there's that -- but Styles has got so much skill and a weirdly marketable vibe that I believe he could move merchandise and be a fairly decent babyface for the company.

How's this for an idea:

The Real Americans tease a face turn heading into WrestleMania, where Swagger and Cesaro end up fighting The Shield a few times. Tensions between The Shield increase and it leads to Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns leaving Dean Ambrose to fend for himself, and Antonio Cesaro wins the US Championship. The next show, Zeb Colter reveals that when someone is a Real American, he controls their championships and all that, so he announces that Jack Swagger is going to go forward as the serving United States Champion. This doesn't sit well with Cesaro, which leads to the split between Swagger/Colter and Cesaro.

At WrestleMania, Cesaro defeats Swagger and proves that he deserves to be the true United States Heavyweight Champion of the world, and gets the backing of Hulk Hogan, becoming a mid-card babyface player on the rise.

I STILL FUCKING REMEMBER!!

I want Ryder to take on a Jericho rip-off gimmick where he refers to himself as Y2Z, comes out to knock-off Jericho music, in Jericho attire.

A bunch of concept images for the WWE Network before the final design got picked.

I would love to see Christian get La Familia back together, and have Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins serve as his Christian-Heads.

I've got to be honest, I prefer the second-to-last one.

Wonder Woman Network

Do you think the WWE could use the change of logo to change up quite a few things aesthetically. For example, maybe they could create new logos for RAW, SmackDown and Main Event and make them feel a bit different? Some of the title designs could also be changed. A new United States Championship would be refreshing, and if one of my dreams comes true and Kharma returns and beats AJ Lee for the Divas Championship, then she could toss it down and restore the Women's Championship, complete with new design and new logo.

The Tag Team Titles are quite new, but they could use a re-design and a new logo. The United States Championship has been in use since as early as 2003, so freshening it up may not be the worst idea on the planet. The IC Title is a classic, but changing it up ever so slightly (perhaps keeping the white strap idea with a new plate) may not be terrible.

Basically, all new belt designs for the championships in the current landscape may not be a horrible idea.
