    Building to a doll on a pole match, obvs.

    Looks like it's been through several of those already.

    I'm guessing this entire thing is just a rehash of one of their feuds from Omega, they just haven't clued TNA in on it yet.
    That doll was probably used to beat up so many backyarders back in the day.

    A Reddit user put up some interesting facts on Cena and Styles
    When I was getting inspiration to make a Money in the Bank poster I was reading up on both Cena and Styles' wikipedia pages and found some pretty weird stats about their careers. There's constantly a lot of talk about how different the two men are, and how differently their careers went, but there are a lot of strange parallels and similarities.

    AJ Styles
    Born June 2 1977 (38, literally about to turn 39)
    Debuted in 1998 as a masked 'Mr. Olympia', less than a year before Cena's wrestling debut
    Won his first title, Georgia's National Championship Wrestling Television Championship in August 1999
    Won his first Heavyweight title, NWA Georgia Championship, in 2001 (a year after John Cena won his first Heavyweight title)
    Was offered a WWE contract in 2002, the same year John Cena debuted, but turned it down
    Debuted in both ROH and TNA in 2002
    Helped put both companies on the map, became the face of independent wrestling over the next 14 years
    Signed with WWE and debuted in January 2016, 14 years after his original contract offer
    Main evented a PPV against Roman Reigns for the WWEWHC on May 1st 2016, less than 4 months after his WWE debut
    Came face-to-face with John Cena on May 30th 2016

    John Cena
    Born April 28 1977 (39)
    Debuted in 1999 as the semi-robotic 'The Prototype', less than a year after Styles' wrestling debut
    Won his first title, the UPW Heavyweight Championship in August April 2000, a year before Styles would capture his first Heavyweight title
    Debuted on WWE Smackdown in 2002, the same year AJ Styles was first offered a WWE contract
    Main Evented a PPV against Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship on April 27 2003, 9 months after his WWE debut
    Rocketed to fame, became the face of the company over the next 14 years and helped push WWE on to a bigger stage than ever before
    Came face-to-face with AJ Styles on May 30th 2016

    So not that parallel but I thought some of the stats were unique.

    He's definitely up there.

    He doesn't like Enzo or Kevin Owens' mic skills.

    I mean, REALLY?

    Damn I wish AJ could have jumped ship sooner so he wouldn't be having his first WWE run at near 40 years old.

    Think I found the earliest footage of Nakamura on YouTube

    https://youtube.com/watch?v=fcCC1e2UMqc

    Fun fact; I actually watched this whole event with friends back in 2005 because Bob Sapp was the main event and we were all massive fans of his Japanese film appearances.

    It's probably not even that. I bet it's a place for sale and they are out there just shooting footage while no one is around.

    Jeff Gerstmann: worst wrestling opinions?

    It's so sad to see someone who just can't be happy with one of the most fun things going in wrestling right now.

    I have to assume that Jeff also dislikes New Day.

    Boo this man.

    Jeff seems like the grumpiest old man. I don't think I've ever seen him having a good time, laughing, or talking about an actual new game/movie/anything that he's enjoyed.

    He really likes the new Doom, and Overwatch, and plenty of stuff. He just goes through rough patches sometimes.

    Right...the new game in the Doom series. Full of references to the old games. Including full levels.

    And Team Fortress 3, featuring Blizzard art.

    I guess you missed the Mario Maker hole Jeff disappeared into for the better part of the past year.

    Doom is a legit GOTY contender and the things that make it great aren't references and the classic levels are the worst part.

    Overwatch is fun and stylish.

    I do try to ignore Mario Maker as much as possible, yes! And that's still not a new video game. It's a creation program for a bunch of old games.

    And wasn't his whole thing that he wanted to make bad levels that feel horrible to play? And he never actually plays levels himself?

    Edit: Also I never saw him looking like he had a good time with it, is the main part.
