So word has it that Daniel Bryan's book is officially an NY Times Bestseller...Very happy that live has thrown Bryan some more lemons to make lemonade with considering how much it seems to kick him in the ass at times

I was reading it today, it's very good. Happy for Bryan.

Haven't finished it yet haha, but it's a good read. The chapters open with WM30 recaps before Bryan takes over.

 

[TX85]

He has a book? Awesome

- This is probably evident to some by how they have been using him on TV lately but WWE officials are very happy with Cesaro right now. He continues to receive high marks for his work backstage and his stock in the company continues to rise.

- Vince McMahon has reportedly soured on The Lucha Dragons, which is why he nixed their planned push. However, some WWE producers do not agree with Vince and feel Sin Cara and Kalisto are doing good.

Sometimes I wish we could get more rationale as to why Vince sours on somebody. To me, The Lucha Dragons fill a niche role in the company. They're solid in ring performers that will wow the crowd, bring them to their feet and entertain them.

Of course their ceiling is not as high as other people in the company. They're probably not as marketable as others or don't excel in other areas like cutting promos but they are still absolutely worthy of being on Raw every week to entertain the s**t out of us. If Vince should sour on anybody, it should be with The Ascension.

Translation, Vince is an instant gratification type that gives up when he doesn't instantly get something out of a certain performer or angle.

As am I. I will order it. The reason i'm such a fan of his, is that in addition to his obvious in ring ability, he always seemed like such a genuine guy. Hopefully we've not seen the last of him in the ring.

I'd love for him to answer a US open challenge.

 

[DarkSentinel]

I really have an appreciation for how hard these guys work now that I've been training. I've died like ten times over but moreso than that there's SUCH a curve on learning to take and deliver moves safely. Right now a simple headlock takedown is the hardest thing in the world to do for me with another person's head in my hands. I'm definitely nowhere near ready for a singles match yet.

Just like the children I work with.

 

[TX85]

Vince is definitely such a spoiled child with toys. He'll beg and do whatever it takes to get a new awesome looking toy and after playing win it a while he notices some imperfection and things"lame!"and goes back to an old toy that he likes to spend time with every once in a while

So basically he's like Andy in Toy Story when he first got Buzz LightYear?

Seeing Cesaro in a suit on Tough Enough this week really made me realize that WWE should've pushed him as their equivalent of Georges St. Pierre in UFC.

Yes!

First, Cesaro showing Kidd some love. Second, if I spoke English as well as he did there I'd be very happy, and I'm only speak English.

Watching Death Before Dishonor

 

[OnTheAir]

As previously reported, it appeared earlier that there were plans to book Sting in a tag team match at Summerslam this year involving Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt. However, it then later appeared that those plans were no longer in place. The Wrestling Observer and PWInsider have revealed an update regarding Sting originally being set to work a match at Summerslam were apparently scrapped.

Per the report, the plans that were originally in place had Sting teaming with Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose against The Wyatt Family. Sting was even reportedly in very good shape for the match. However, Sting was later told that the plans had changed and he would not be used for a match at the PPV.

The report claims that the reasons are currently unknown why the plans were changed for the event. The idea was to team up Sting with Reigns because WWE was concerned that New York City would be a tough crowd for Reigns to get a strong face reaction from the live crowd.

Watching Death Before Dishonor

How is it?

 

[TX85]

Catching up with AAA and CMLL, Jack Evans is still wrestling down there after like 10 years or something. Does he have some big attitude problem or something that WWE never showed interest in him? He's wrestled in the indies but I never saw him being as huge as he is a big deal in Mexico.

I've read about Teddy Hart being an immature jerk but what about Evans?

 

[cabel]

How is it?

So far really good. ACH vs Moose was way better than I expected. RPG Vice Vs Briscoes was great, and Castle vs Cole may be the MOTN.

Page vs ACH is about to start. The BJ Whitmer promo is kind of killing the momentum though.

 

[Donnie Darko]

Yes!

It just makes so much sense...

-Freakishly strong and technically amazing
-Better looking than most of the guys in his industry
-Isn't always super flashy, but has a moveset that can be applied to a game plan to beat any possible opponent
-"foreign" accent actually works in his favor to make him seem both more likable and more badass

My favorite moment in Scott Steiner's career.

Uh, no. This is should be your favorite.



Tyson Tomko's reaction seals it as the best Steiner moment. And holy damn, there are at least 10 different videos that could have easily been #1.
