    Holy crap dude. These are awesome. You should tweet that to Punk.

    Tweeted both at both, Goldust retweeted already!

    I know I am sort of on a Chikara bing lately...forgive me I fell down a rabbit hole, but man that drawing makes me want to see a PG version of Goldust over there after he finishes up with the WWE. I say after because I wouldnt take this current chance away from Dustin after all the dues he has paid for anything.

    One complaint about the drawing is the "Free" tattoo is upside down.

    Otherwise it's great.

    During his appearance on the Steve Austin Podcast, Colt Cabana confirmed that he will be heading down to WWE NXT for a WWE announcing tryout. Cabana had been doing commentary in FCW when he was released by WWE in 2009.

    He also confirmed that he's been in Los Angeles, doing motion capture for next year's WWE videogame.

    Please Vince and HHH, sign Colt already and put him on TV again before it's too late. Cabana isn't a young kid anymore.

    He's great! So much personality, in-ring and out. Excellent promo work, great wrestling, huge fan base, merchandising machine.

    They're just being stupid at this point.

    So I'm glad I bought that Kevin Steen: Hell Rising ROH DVD right when it came out because apparently the company can't sell it anymore do to Jim Cornette threatening to sue over what Steen said in the documentary portion.

    If that's the case would I get in trouble for trying to sell the DVD on ebay? I legally paid for it after all.

    You'd almost think he'd be employed by one of, any of the three biggest companies in North America.

    I think he said he'd never work for ROH again. Have no idea why TNA never picked him up though.

    I think getting fired from NXT and how shitty Cornette was to him and Sinclair buying RoH and changing it kind of soured him on corporations.

    Well he is doing work right now for WWE but that involves not dealing with a booking/creative team.

    He had a dark match for TNA, but apparently they weren't that interested.

    So the Raw rating on Monday was a solid improvement over last week so that's good, usually a lack of user comments hear translates to lower Nielson viewership I've noticed.

    Wade Barrett has been stuck in England due to work visa issues, similar to what happened 3 years ago during the height of the Nexus angle. When he comes back I'd like to see him and Drew form a new team if they are still considering dropping McIntyre from the 3MB.

    According to Larry Zbyszko, a good portion of TNA's wrestlers (he says half, but that's hard to believe even for TNA) are on food stamps.

    Considering that Jim Cornette spends all his free time shit talking about people in wrestling you think he'd have thick enough skin to take something thrown back at him.

    Worse yet it's not even like Steen spent the entire documentary portion bashing Cornette. He did seem obviously pissed at times but consented that he'd love to see Jim come back to ROH as a heel manager only.

    So Rey was supposed to be returning to the ring this week for WWE's Mexico tour but a WWE.com interview revealed that's probably not happening now.
    WWE.COM: Did you have surgery this time?

    MYSTERIO: No, 2011 was my last surgery. What they did was they repaired the ACL and the [posterior cruciate ligament]. That’s when they realized that the inner part of my knee had no more cartilage. So, the inner part of my left knee is bone on bone, arthritic.

    WWE.COM: Do you have a target date for your return to the squared circle?

    MYSTERIO: With this new procedure, it’s been floating around in the air. There’s not that much time left before the end of the year. I’m hoping that either Thanksgiving comes a little early or Christmas comes a little early.

    WWE.COM: With all of the injuries you’ve had, have you ever given thought to retiring?

    MYSTERIO: No. I’m 39 years old and I know I’ve been doing this for quite some time, over two decades. Retirement is, for me, something that’ll be down the road, but not within the next two or three years. I feel like, with how medicine is evolving, something will be out there soon that can help you heal from arthritis. That might be what helps my longevity and pushes me to keep performing.

    Always felt McIntyre was incredibly under used. He has good enough in ring ability, a great look and at least middling mic skills. Pairing him with Barret and pushing them hard would probably do good things for both. Give them Regal as a manager if you think they need a crutch in interviews until things get up and running.

    I'd love a United Kingdom heel stable. They could either harass or try to recruit Sheamus when he comes back too, and maybe to bring up Paige from NXT.

    Maybe they could replace the real Americans if they decide to push Cesaro.

    So, it's a No-DQ <Teddy Long>Tag Team Match</Teddy Long> and you've got an extra man in your corner. Why aren't you charging the ring from the off?

    Sometimes wrestling logic when it comes to match stipulations stretches my credulity too far. It needed to be No-DQ for the ending to work (and the ending was pretty dam ngood, don't get me wrong) but the rest of the match makes no sense in that context. It should have been a normal match, Ambrose interferes for the DQ, HHH comes out and makes it a no-DQ match,a anarchy ensues and then Big Show appears for the awesome.

    I have a thoughtful and infrequently updated blog about games http://whatithinkaboutwhenithinkaboutgames.wordpress.com/

    I made a game, it has penguins in it. It's pay what you like on Gumroad.

    Currently Ebaying Nothing at all but I might do in the future.

    They used that in WWE '12, with pretty much the actual roster we've been talking about here (Regal, Sheamus, Barrett, and MacIntyre). I always wondered why they didn't do it in the actual product. It'd still work, IMHO.

    Wonder if they still might turn Sheamus heel when he comes back. Personally I think he could still work as a face if they re-tweak his character.

    Anything to get Layla on my t.v. as often as possible.

    Making Paige heel would be the kind of tone deaf move akin to turning having AJ get heel heat by calling the Total Divas out on their bullshit...so it'll likely happen.

    I like to interpret Chris' post as the heel British stable having Layla in it and Paige shows up and is mad because Regal thinks Layla is better than her.

    I think everyone should be heel or face once

    except Jericho

    that man couldn't be face if he tried

    Jericho has had a few good face runs though I'm mostly posting as an excuse to remind everybody that the match he had in ECW against Pit Bull #2, Shane Douglas and Scorpio is great.

    So, this is being proclaimed as a front-runner for MOTY.

    Watched this earlier today and it is awesome. The finishing sequence is phenomenal between these two. I enjoyed it, but it's not in my top five of the year. Which considering the matches we've had this year is a high goddamn bar. Shit, it might not even be in the top five NJPW matches of the year. Although certain determination of that would require watching their previous matches to determine which is best.

    But seriously, if you like wrestling watch that match it's really good, that's just how awesome NJPW has been this year.
