Add Sasha to the pile. Dave says she's out with an undisclosed injury
Also that Natalya will be back soon. I was wrong, she actually was hurt too: broke her ankle in November, and didn't know until she got it examined sometime in December (thought it was just a sprain and she'd be fine after a week, went for a checkup weeks later when she still wasn't)
Not really, they just need to learn how to cycle talent on and off and realize that the crowd won't actually forget about them completely when they're gone.

Also from what I've heard they've been doing a lot of Olympic lifts which is soooooooo stupid.
Imagine Miz ever having anything to do on a roster filled to the brim with people more talented and revered than him.
That's the point, everyone knows there are more talented people than Miz but he won the title on a fluke entrant 30 Rumble win. Then he gets destroyed by a monster as the payoff.
As I said it has no chance of happening but Miz is a good enough character to make it work.
For the longest time, I've been advocating for a "shitbag heel enters the Rumble at #30 just as the last two other wrestlers throw each other out, is declared the winner without lifting a finger" finish to the Rumble match. It now occurs to me that Miz would be absolutely perfect in that role.
I know they probably will but I hope they don't change Nakamura's name
It is so much fun to say
well, the way i've kind of settled on it is that WWE.com ran the rumor report using the wrestler's current names. they're obviously teasing this heavy and are pushing the hype. it would seem weird for them to then debut these guys with alternate names.
Pretty sure they announced the signing of KENTA as "Hey we just signed Japanese superstar KENTA!" on WWE.com.
i'm pretty fresh back into wrestling so I guess I'm not as wise to the weird decisions that have apparently become normal to WWE.
i'm also fairly new to Nakamura. puro is really fantastic!
And here is the most important thing to know about Swagsuke:
he's incredible! i watched him vs ibushi from this time last year, and him vs tanahashi in the G1 and i'm just blown away with how fun puro is.
i got back into wrestling because of lucha underground and I'm really excited for S2. been watching puro and some WWE while I wait, but WWE just isn't doing it for me currently.
Those are some choice Nakamura matches (him vs Tanahashi is a long and storied thing that I could probably talk about for hours, but I won't because that would be dumb). Here is one of my favourite matches from his blistering IC title reign that people don't talk about much, probably because it's got a very UWFi vibe, and that isn't for everybody.

Also what are Olympic lifts and why are they dangerous
I don't personally think they're inherently dangerous but certainly something weird seems to be going on. myself, the schedule is nuts enough that I'm not too concerned that they can't manage a proper lifting/fitness regimen.
Who put Jay Briscoe and Bad Luck Fale in the same match and why are they not fired?
Also who in the fuck thought this English commentary team was a good idea? It's making me miss JR shitting on younger guys from WK9.
So you are saying that watching the Japanese commentary when I saw that Matt Striker was part of the English commentary team was the right choice? He's still one of my least favorite parts of Lucha Underground by the way.

Matt Striker and Kevin Kelly is just the drizzling shits.
Seriously, if you think Michael Cole is a bad announcer then just listen to Kelly for 5 minutes. It's the fucking worst.
– The Wrestling Observer Newsletter has some new details on John Cena’s shoulder injury. As noted earlier, Cena is getting surgery today on the shoulder and will miss the Royal Rumble.
The site reports that Cena has been having shoulder problems which were getting worse while he was training. He is said to have wanted to get the surgery done as soon as posssible; it was noted that his training partner Cesaro is also out with a similar injury.
The expected recovery time is six months, but Cena has a history of coming back sooner. His return window will be clearer once he starts rehabbing after surgery.
I'M NOT FINISHED WITH YOU!!!

I made the mistake of watching fifteen minutes of the English commentary for the show after Wrestle Kingdom (New Years Bash?). It made me so sad.

it isn't the 80s where you do 10 minutes of brawling and win with one high spot and a finisher
it's 10 minutes of high spots with a career-threatening spot before a finisher

Well the Olympics are this year, so....

Is this something that happens in the PC or on the main roster?

Here is in one of the most anticipated matches of 2013 vs NOAH's only bankable star Marafuji:

There's also a really good match against the only man who gives less of a fuck than Swagsuke, the one and only Minoru Suzuki, from 2013 but I can't find that in good quality so instead have MiSu vs Sakuraba and MiSu vs AJ Styles' finger:

She hasn't wrestled in a while. The only talent who we know is injured who's still working is Cody.
Here's a better Shinsuke match against La Sombra

According to profightdb.com* she hasn't Sports Entertained since her Dec 28th RAW match with Becky.
*Kinda like this site, because it lists house show match results.

Corbin wins it and then goes on a rant about how Andre the Giant isn't important because he's just some indie guy.

Nobody's perfect.
Or maybe Finn is just getting tired of having to walk to the ring all the time.

I hate to rain on the parade, but the signing of Devitt and Sting are probably the only ones that are on this level recently.
