True dat.
That said, it does make you wonder why. Cro Cop was already known at that point for almost fucking decapitating people with that kick.

If you have the network, you should check out the Daniel Bryan Journey to Wrestlemania thing. It's really good and mostly out of kayfabe.

I hope that Daniel Bryan isn't hobbled with a Kane midcard feud. That's some Chris Benoit shit right there.
Also, I'm glad that Cesaro dropped the Real Americans theme, but...you know, they probably should have given him something other than silence. And, I love Paul Heyman. He's...like, the best. But what is he doing with Cesaro? That pair-up makes no sense other than to keep Heyman on TV while Brock is gone for a while.

That would be tragic, but I doubt it's the same. Axel was never over.
They should just go back to his old Miracle theme. It's about the most Swiss thing ever in that it switches between Swiss German and French.

I still have to check out Raw this week, but it will have to wait because Mick Foley is going to be at our local comedy club tonight, right here in Raleigh NC, and I got tickets. I guess you could say I'm going to...have a nice day. 
I'm so freaking excited. Mick Foley was my hands down favorite wrestler growing up, both the reason I wanted to become a wrestler and decided against it. I always wanted to see him live, and was sad I never got the chance.

I really like Paige but the Paige Turner looks shitty. Her submission finisher, which I do not know the name of, on the other hand is fucking awesome looking. Looking it up, it's called a scorpion crosslock.
It's great!
In an age of shitty looking submissions (John Cena, looking at you), it's nice to see one that actually looks uncomfortable.

So Mick Foley's Hardcore Legend show is a lot of fun. If he comes by your area I highly recommend going to see him. Matt Hardy and Shane Helms were in attendance, and so Mick Foley brought them on stage with him towards the end, when he did a Q&A. Best of all aside from getting my picture with Mick, was finally getting a Cactus Jack shirt.
Also can we talk about how great it is that we're having a tournament to determine the new #1 contender for the Intercontinental Championship? Wrestling Tournaments are probably my second favorite angle in wrestling ( 1. Royal Rumble, 2. Tournaments, 3. Kurt), and I'm glad that they're using one to put focus back on the Intercontinental Title. That strap has been neglected more than the US Championship, and only then because Ambrose just wears it and never competes with it. Since I'll probably never see King of the Ring again, at least we've got this.

Oh! Oh, woe is me! I have been struck!
Is it that Extreme Rules was mostly terrible, except for the 6-man and (surprisingly) the midget match?
Up to the cage match now. Am I the only one that hates the whole ref opening the door for you shit?
The crowd fucking hates this match. It's sucking any enjoyment out of it.[DOUBLEPOST=1399293623,1399293405][/DOUBLEPOST]Jesus, the Rowan piggy backing Cena back into the cage bit....this is a bad comedy match now.[DOUBLEPOST=1399293805][/DOUBLEPOST]This has made the whole Wyatt family look like ineffectual goobers.[DOUBLEPOST=1399294025][/DOUBLEPOST]OHHHHHHH, the ending....THIS GOT WORSE![DOUBLEPOST=1399294060][/DOUBLEPOST]TERRIBLE!!![DOUBLEPOST=1399294496][/DOUBLEPOST]Cole just called Tamina the son of Jimmy Supafly Snuka.
GOOD JOB COLE!

Never happen! Just like the streak ending!
It won't happen. It'll never happen as long as he's still their top merchandise seller and doing all the charities. People need to realize that.
I'm glad I watched Extreme Rules, and I'm very glad that I have the Network and didn't need to pay $50 to watch it. The show was about what I expected from a PPV that's not one of the big 4.[DOUBLEPOST=1399298760,1399298304][/DOUBLEPOST]
Also people insisting he needs to turn heel are being to narrow minded (and wanting to validate their own feelings on Cena). He's already a heel to everyone that want's to see him "turn heel" so I'm not sure what him suddenly cheating would do other than disappoint a lot of kids who buy his stuff.
Really he just needs to adjust the character to become more dynamic, or maybe in line with reality. He's pretty much Superman, so maybe stop running the overcome the impossible odds story line again and again. Have him be more cocky. He's been neigh unstoppable for years, older fans don't buy that he's going to lose so why should he buy it?

Batista looks like he really enjoyed himself tonight.
Welp, tears.
Oh god, I'm bawling my eyes out here. What a sweet and yet saddening video.
At least WWE does things like that. Probably was the best highlight of Connor's short life.
We get another NXT special coming up soon! 
Also anyone here Chikara fans? I just ordered the iPPV they're having on May 25th and was wondering if anyone else was going to watch it. If you're not familiar with Chikara they're a Lucha style promotion that's basically a living wrestling comic book. Last year they had a storyline where the company was bought out by a corporation and promptly shut down (the company went dark last June). Earlier this year it was uncovered that it was a ploy by all their villains to destroy the promotion. So now Chikara is fighting back.

Some of its closing actually had some reality to it. Owner Mike Quackenbush had divorced recently. Unfortunately, his wife was also a co-owner of the fed. So I imagine it took them this long to things settled in terms of rights.We get another NXT special coming up soon!

I'm watching the iPPV now. A large and very enthusiastic crowd, and good wrestling. Especially by the Indy standards. 3 matches in, only one superkick and no finisher-2 count exchanges.
NXT Takeover is tomorrow and Payback is Sunday. Guess which one I'm more excited for?
Both have pretty lousy cards, but I'm looking forward to seeing Sami Zayn and Tyler Breeze wrestle each other, and the NXT crowd should be great as usual. Payback will have Cesaro vs. Shemus which could be match of the night depending on which Shemus shows up.
