    That doesn't surprise me. I'm planning on watching the whole show tomorrow. NJPW is just so fucking awesome right now.

    And they made themselves even awesomer because the Young Bucks are making their NJPW debut in two weeks in the Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team tournament.

    I bought the comic mentioned in the article off of eBay, with the coordinates and the "I Am CHIKARA" sticker. It was cool stuff, and it gave us something to get signed at NYCC. Good stuff, looking forward to the 11/2 rally.

    HOLY SHIT SMACKDOWN SPOILERS
    Vickie and Maddox are out for an opening promo. I literally can't hear Vickie over the boos. Daniel Bryan interrupts and teases a Big Show arrival. The Rhodes Bros come out and all three are put into a match with the Shield later.

    * The Wyatts v. Kofi & Miz. We get robbed of a full Wyatts entrance. Luke murders Kofi with a lariat for the win. Bray cuts a promo on Miz being afraid.

    * Brie Bella v. AJ Lee. Not a bad match. Tamina and Nikki fight at ringside, creating the distraction for Bri to defeat AJ with the facebuster.

    Big Show arrives through the crowd in a hoodie and gets in the ring. Show reveals he has filed a lawsuit against The Authority. Maddox & Vickie hit the ring. Maddox gets in Show's face and gets KOed. Show stares down Vickie and leaves.

    * CM Punk v. Big E. Great match from both. Big E dominated with power moves and a half crab. Punk mounts a comeback and wins with the G2S. Heyman, Ryback, and Axel enter and cut a promo. They hit the ring to attack Punk, but Big E steps in the ring to a big pop and cleans house for Punk.

    Josh Matthews interviews Del Rio. ADR calls Cena the ultimate gringo, Juanito, and soft. ADR slaps the cross arm breaker on Josh to prove what he can do to Cena's injured arm.

    * The Real Americans v. The Usos. Cesaro does the swing on Jimmy (I think) for 27 seconds. Awesome. Los Matadores interrupt. Torito gores Zeb a couple times. The distraction allows the Usos to pick up the victory with the Superfly Splash.

    * Daniel Bryan, Cody Rhodes & Goldust v. The Shield. Entertaining match throughout. Lots of great spots. Reigns accidentally spearing the ring steps, a double underhook superplex from Ambrose, Rollins powerbombing Cody from the apron into Goldust and over the announce table. The faces comeback and Bryan goes apeshit. Bryan pins Ambrose after the flying knee.

    BIG E. LANGSTON FACE TURN

    PWInsider reports that Hulk Hogan has not signed with TNA after all. Previous reports had claimed that Hogan had signed a new contract after WWE offered him less money than TNA, but this doesn't seem to be the case. That means that Hogan is still a free agent at the moment.

    when he could make up the pay he gets at WWE with endorsements that would be guaranteed again if he's in the WWE main event

    and it does seem like WWE is putting some effort into making Smackdown just as good or better than Raw each week with the NFL season going

    ramp up those Friday ratings

    I wouldn't mind if it's a swerve and Langston ends up with Heyman's crew to be honest. Just give the man back the fucking 5 count gimmick please. Complain all you want about pavlovian chants but at least it equates to crowd heat.

    Plus I don't want Hogan making TNA suck more. I mean, it's still going to suck, but without him there it will be better. They kept having him steal people's heat for no fucking reason and it was awful.

    The benefit TNA has over WWE is creative control. He goes back to WWE, he's not going over somebody like say, Undertaker at Mania. But in TNA? Shit, the last time he was on TNA television, he was literally walking out of the company while the owner of the company was holding onto his legs begging him not to go.

    Fit Finlay's 16 month indy run after getting fired from WWE back in March of 2011 is generally considered a flop but man did he and Sami Callahan have a fantastic match at EVOLVE 9 which I just got in the mail from an ROHworld user. Wish WWE would let him wrestle once or twice a year.

    Speaking of TNA, remember that time they had Angelina from Jersey Shore in the company for a bit? Apparently they paid her late. And by paid her late, I mean she had to actually call Dixie to remind her that she was owed a paycheck.

    Match was great but I'll never buy the Rainmaker as a devastating finish, no matter how many wrestlers the NJPW bookers feed it.

    I just want the Real Americans to break up because Swagger is jealous of how much more popular a foreigner is than him in American leading Cesaro to be ridiculously over as a face and giant swings for everybody.

    I wouldn't be surprised if that's how it ends up happening. I'm also happy for a RA/Los Matadores feud because I'll get to see Claudio toss around cruiserweights again like he was back in Chikara.

    At this time, it appears that Hulk Hogan will re-sign with TNA Wrestling. TNA began airing advertisements for Bound for Glory that featured Hogan earlier this week.

    Hogan reached out to WWE and they reportedly offered him less money than what TNA was willing to give him. According to sources, The Rock and Brock Lesnar make more in a match than what Hogan will make in a year at TNA. It appears that once Hogan found that out, that he made the call to stay with TNA.

    "Well, I can't wrestle worth a crap, brother, and even if I tried, dude, I'd likely break a hip, homeslice. But I'm Hulk Hogan, man, and that means I should be making more money than anyone else in the business, guy, whether or not they can still bring it and I can't, pilgrim."

    I think my favorite part of the night was when D-Bry went into the trainers room and you can hear the Bella's yelling, but when D-Bry gets in and asks where Orton is they have no clue and then he jumps D-Bry from behind. How the fuck do they not know where Orton is?

    I think the best part is how one (two? I forget) former Divas champions are still absolutely helpless in the face of one man attacking their loved ones.

    I have to wonder what they would do in a situation like this if Kharma was still around. Course I picture Orton enters, the Bellas start screaming, D-Bry comes in and Kharma is standing there and Orton is just hanging through one of the false tiles in the ceiling.

    Course the sad thing is she hasn't returned and I don't think I've heard anything of any possible hope of a return of Kharma :(

    I would love that. Doesn't even have to be Kharma, just to see someone's legs sticking out of the wall or ceiling... especially if they were Orton's.
