    I dunno, when's the last time they had a face hold the Briefcase? Cashing in is supposed to kinda be a heel move.

    edit: Having D-Bry cash in would also make him seem like more of a pansy than they already have with that Cena promo on Monday about D-Bry being "afraid".

    The obvious fix to that would be have Orton win and then defend it against Reigns. Orton barely pulls out the WWE and BAM cash in.

    The cash in is a dick move against the triumphant face. Doing it to deny a hated heel would be a pop generator.

    Unless he cashes it in like RVD and Cena did, by calling his shot. Which he could easily justify by saying he doesn't want to put the new champ through what he went through, and he's older and wiser than when he held the briefcase before.

    A not fully recovered Bryan vs. Lesnar sounds like the worst thing in the world. No way they rush that if he isn't 100%.

    I'd rather they not push him at all, but if he's stubborn enough to come back early, pair him up against somebody safer.

    Kane is super safe so honestly this is the best case scenario.

    Look Kentucky may have the best Marvel player, but I'm afraid that Lancashire clearly has the best wrestlers in the world (Shimane being a close second, because Manami Toyota). Everywhere else is just fighting for scraps.

    [edit]Damn it facetious! This is what I get for not reading a thread all the way through before I decide to post about something.

    According to The Wrestling Observer (via wrestlezone.com), the WWE has been aiding DDP with the rehabilitation of Jake Roberts and Scott Hall. WWE has been quietly putting money into the effort, which is described as a daily battle for both Roberts and Hall. The company has reportedly been paying people with experience in rehabilitation to help out when then two men have problems.

    Jake Roberts was recently working an independent event in Oregon. After the show, Roberts was invited to go out to a strip club by some of the wrestlers. Roberts turned down the offer saying he knew what would happen if he went.

    What kind of dickheads would try to send a known recovering alcoholic to a strip joint?

    Not all people understand just what alcoholics have to deal with daily. Hopefully they accepted his initial refusal and didn't try to pressure him into joining them.

    edit: And I think it is fantastic that the WWE is footing part of the bill to help DDPs clients.

    I imagine most people don't understand what it means to be in recovery and could even think that inviting an addict to continue engaging in social activity with them (despite being an activity where they could be exposed to their addictions) is helping. I don't think it's inherently "dickheaded" to ask Roberts to hang out with you. What's important is Roberts was able to decide what the best course of action for himself was.

    Natsuki ☆ Taiyo retired at the start of this month. And Yuhi retired last month as well. Tomoka Nakagawa (one half of the SHIMMER tag champs with Kelly Skater) and Manami Katsu have also both announced their retirements for December and July of this year respectively.

    If they made that RoH TV Title match a "Truth Martini tied to a railroad track" I might tune in.
    Actually no, even then Bobby Fish and O RLY would be too much for me to stomach.

    I know Giant Bomb has a pretty large community, but it's still less than a third to its goal. There'd have to be a pretty big surge at the end.

    Sin Cara debuted in AAA with his new name Myzteziz. So he's got that going for him.

    I'm just curious whether they'll finally pull the trigger on Elgin. ROH wants to build to an Adam Cole vs AJ Styles match at Final Battle and I wonder if they want Cole to still be champ going into the build.

    yeah, I dunno if they'll get there

    I had heard his new name was going to be Misterioso, but there was another luchador out there already calling himself Misterioso (not that this stopped them with Mistico). Still, Myzteziz sounds like a '90s Image Comics character. Does his ring gear include lots of pouches?

    Ah here we go
    AAA held a press conference today at the Hard Rock Hotel in Puerto Vallarta where they announced that the former Mistico/Sin Cara is now known as Myzteziz, which sounds out as "Mizztizz." Myzteziz appeared on the TV taping last night in Celaya wearing his new gear, which is a hybrid of his old Mistico colors with the Sin Cara type mask. AAA announced that they trademarked this name on 5/8 but Myzteziz went on to say that he would work under his old name of Sin Cara on non-AAA shows so the confusion will still be there.

    Even that name sounds like a botch.

    While Batista won't be seen on Raw for the next few months, he's going to be pretty much everywhere else. Variety reports that Marvel is going to be aggressive in its strategy of marketing Guardians of the Galaxy including several licensing partnerships that will heavily feature the entire cast, including Batista as Drax the Destroyer.

    The site notes that the studio has an action figure deal with Hasbro, along with kid's costumes from Rubies and forty-eight other partnerships. Among those promoting the film via licensing deals will be Wal-Mart and Target, while companies like Lego, Mad Engine, KIDdesigns, New Era and Disguise are all partnered with the studio.

    He looks like a knockoff Sin Cara figure. You know, the kind you'd find in a dollar store or an Ashens video.
