The Hurricycle Memorial New Japan Pro Wrestling Thread Does Its Talking In The Ring

Status
Not open for further replies.
Dava Lagana's "I Want Wrestling" podcast with MVP is a good listen. I finished last night and while MVP dosen't talk trash or burn bridges, he does let his opinion be known. I need to listen to Colt's podcast tonight. Steve Corino is the guest.
 
Chyna should probably get those ridiculous implants taken out now that she has like 10 percent of the muscle she used to.
 
How much money are we talking about chipping in?

Also, while we're asking questions, who is default CAW #7 walking out with Immortal? The one wearing the neither television nor legends title belt?
 
Gunner...had a decent match with Daniels a week or two ago.

Kinda surprised they didn't throw together all of their ex-military guys into a stable yet between him, Jesse Neal and Crimson.
 
There's no spoiler tags to hide 007's rants when it comes to audio.

masked lemon should get Alicia Fox to appear on the show to give it some 'cred.

I've talked to someone possibly interested in funding the show. All I'n asking for is a Sawbuck a month towards the monthly premium account.

I love his rationale behind the creation of his name.
 
WWE Superstars had some solid matches this week. Michael PS Hayes is now Tyson Kidd's manager, and Chris Masters and Drew McIntyre put on a clinic.

The biggest development though occured during a match between Zack Ryder and Vladimir Kozlov. Interference by Curt Hawkins helps Zack Ryder get the win. We have a tag-team reunion in the works people! #WWWYKI

Oh shit. I'm going to have to watch a stream of Superstars.
 
Let's see here...I liked Abyss making faces with his teeth missing, Matt Hardy making some, Chris Harris looking terrified while also managing to show no personality, Flair ranting briefly, THE AWESOME BEER MONEY VIDEO PACKAGE, and the Sangriento-Suicide match that seemed to get cut very shot...that's about it.

Then they fucked things up by trying to build up a tag title match teasing the Hardys vs. Beer Money by having MATT HARDY of all people carry the promo. Matt Hardy can't even carry a Youtube video that he creates and can edit, let alone something broadcast on worldwide TV. He rambled about shit, eventually brought out Chris Harris and damn near killed this thing except James Storm actually seemed truly hurt by this and tried to put this over as a huge deal. That was great and the Beer Money video that aired before building them up as one of the best teams in TNA history is worth going out of your way to see.

The Jarrett-Angle stuff just fell off a cliff for so many reasons. Angle is now seemingly Chyna's sidekick, Foley had an off night in every way. He yelled and screamed, got cut off by Hogan DURING THE BIG NAME CHANGE REVEAL, and then he did a backstage deal with Chyna referencing the "sexual tension" between them. You know, from back when he was the WWF commish - ELEVEN YEARS AGO. the whole thing seems to amount to the name of TNA Impact becoming...Impact Wrestling on Spike TV. Now, on the web, there are shots of a new logo and possibly a new blue and white color scheme (like SD), but there was no hint of that here. Despite the voice over work, there was no "tune in next week for a whole new look to IMPACT WRESTLING", and it's kind of unclear even on-air what the name change applies to. The titles are still TNA titles, the PPV is still TNA Sacrifice, but Tenay referred to TNA debuts as IMPACT WRESTLING debuts.

This show reminded me of the '07 shows where there literally seemed to be twice as much material shot as they could fit into the timeslot, so they just rushed everything. The PPV world title match build amounted to Sting building up RVD as "one of the greatest martial arts guys in wrestling", matches were very short, Joe looked like a complete jobber, AJ and Dreamer had a decent little deal going until the camera showed a nice TNA - CLOSED SET sign that just looked ridiculous.

The one exception to this was the 25-man battle royal, which started with a bunch of dudes in the ring before giving intros to people that mattered - some of whom were actually under 40. The match dragged on and on, the camera work was all over the place, it was impossible to follow the action, and then Mick came out to ramble about nothing with Taz and Tenay. The one good thing about Mick on the mic was referencing Fred Mertz - it was funny and actually made most of the rest of the show seem contemporary by comparison. Oh, and Anderson won and then compared Sting to Osama Bin Laden and himself to the people who killed him and capped it off with a BOOM! HEADSHOT! You know, like Miz did, but with a lot more yelling and nowhere near as GIF-worthy. I hate Anderson, I hate this company, and it doesn't matter what you call shit, it's still shit.

EVERYTHING CHANGED AGAIN for the billionth time, and yet TNA will never change. Their ratings will always hover around a 1.2, their PPVs will be purchased by far fewer people than they should be - at least when they actually showcase guys who are worth paying to see in a match, and the company as a whole will just be like the Abrams UWF on ESPN Classic right now - a vanity promotion that fails to deliver anything it promises or fulfill any of its potential.

Screens -

Abyss needs to keep this look -





TNA Impact is now IMPACT WRESTLING!


No sir, I don't like it.








Quotes -
Eric - What are you doing!?
Hogan - WAITING FOR THE NETWORK REP!
Eric - THERE’S A TIME AND A PLACE FOR A PIPE - THIS ISN’T IT!
Tenay - WHAT A REVEALING IMPACT THIS PROMISES TO BE! NOT ONLY WILL WE FIND OUT WHO THE NETWORK IS, BUT KURT ANGLE’S NEW MS. ANGLE, IN A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, WILL BE REVEALED!
Jeff - Kurt, after Karen and I gave this a lot of thought, we’ve decided to come out here tonight and call a truce! THAT’S RIGHT, now I know I’ve mockingly offered you one in the past, but tonight, it’s sincere. Just look at her - so sweet, innocent, and fragile! Please…hear me out. She’s so innocent and fragile, she wouldn’t hurt a fly and for her to put in harm’s way in the middle of this ring at Sacrifice is terribly wrong - I HAVE MADE IT A TOP PRIORITY OF MINE TO KEEP HER OUT OF ALL OF MY MATCHES, and speaking of the ones between us, where I’ve beaten you every time - SHE HAS HAD NOTHING AND I MEAN NOTHING to do with the outcome. So Kurt…the mere thought of you, or this paid mitress to do any type of harm to the queen of the mountain - that’s a crime in and of itself!
Karen - Kurt, Olympic gold medalist - you’ve had a lot of matches in your career, and maybe you’ve had your bell rung one too many times, but how you’ve convinced yourself that I’m nothing but a thorn in your side, I HAVE NO IDEA. I HAVE BEEN NOTHING BUT A WARM, LOVING, AND GIVING EX-WIFE AND THE MOTHER OF KEIRA AND CODY. The last 3 months, everything that happened between you, me, and big daddy - HAS BEEN A COMPLETE MISUNDERSTANDING. Ever the restraining order WAS IN YOUR BEST INTEREST. I’M ALWAYS, ALWAYS LOOKING OUT FOR YOUR BEST INTEREST. I’m asking you to come out and humbly accept your apology and we’ll all move on as one big happy family. (Angle comes out)
Taz - I thought it would never happen.
Kurt - It’s over Karen, DONE. No, I mean IT’S DONE. Karen, after being married to me for 10 years, I think you’d realize not to push me, but you just keep pushing and pushing! For 6 months, you and Mr. Douchebag have been pressing all the right buttons. NOW KAREN, I’VE TOLERATED IT BECAUSE YOU’RE THE MOTHER OF MY KIDS, now listen. It’s like I don’t even know you anymore - I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHY I EVEN MARRIED YOU, AND IT’S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE JACKASS HERE REALIZES THAT, YOU’LL TAKE HIM FOR EVERY PENNY HE HAS JUST LIKE YOU DID TO ME. BUT BEFORE THE MARRIAGE IMPLODES, I’M GONNA GET MY REVENGE. YOU TWO AGAINST ME AND MY BUSINESS PARTNER! Now…I was going to introduce her now, BUT the network rep wanted to give her a proper intro, so you’ll have to stew and Karen, I can’t wait to see the look on your face, and Jeff, YOU KNOW WHO SHE IS!
Tenay - WE WELCOME YOU TO THE NIGHT OF BIG REVEALS!
Tenay - ON THIS NIGHT OF REVEALS, not only the reveal of Ms. Angle, but also the reveal of the NETWORK REP!
Hogan - YOU SON OF A BITCH. YOU’VE BEEN SMARTENING UP THE NETWORK!
Flair - I’M RIC FLAIR!
Eric - CALM DOWN - THIS IS GETTING WAY THE HELL OUT OF LINE!
Hogan - I’m just so rattled regarding this darn network thing.
Flair - YOU’RE BIGGER THAN THE NETWORK!
Tara - If Mickie wins, I’ll be free of that ball and chain. She’s like uh huh, and I’m like nuh uh! I’m tired of that skank! I wanna be free from that BRAT.
Madison - Rat!?
Tara - I said BRAT!
Madison - Yeah whatever.
Dreamer - AJ, you’re too young and innocent…
AJ - I STUCK A FORK IN YOUR EYE AND I GOT THREE KIDS - HOW AM I INNOCENT AND TOO YOUNG!?
Sting - RVD, one of the greatest MARTIAL ARTS GUYS ever in this ring. I said I’d zig when he zags - I hope I still can zig when he zags. I’LL BE FIGHTING FOR MY LIFE, AND THAT MIGHT BRING OUT THE WORST, BUT IT COULD BRING UP THE BEST!
Ad Guy - THEY ARE FIVE STAR PERSONALITEIS WITH FIVE STAR IN-RING ABILITIES! FOUR TIMES TNA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, A CORNERSTONE OF FORTUNE, AND ONE OF THE GREATEST TEAMS IN TNA HISTORY!
Taz - Beer Money is the greatest tag team in wrestling today - and perhaps one of the best ever.
Roode - MATT HARDY, LAST WEEK, YOU SAID YOU’D MAKE A PHONE CALL TO SOMEONE SPECIAL AND THAT YOU AND HE WOULD COME TO SACRIFICE WOULD COME AND CHALLENGE US FOR OUR TNA TAG TEAM TITLES! We know who your partner is, SO WHY DON’T YOU COME OUT HERE AND ACCEPT YOUR CHALLENGE FACE-TO-FACE!?
Tenay - WAS A FAMILY MEMBER ON THE OTHER END OF THAT PHONE CALL!?
Hardy - Roode, you impressed me when you called out THE GREAT HULK HOGAN. BECAUSE YOU SHOWED THAT YOU HAD A SET - YOU GREW A SET. WE ALL SAW BOBBY ROODE BECOME A MAN RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES. You wanna be taken serious and get noticed, and I take you seriously. Cowboy, I know every time you come out here, you take a swig of your beer, you’re drunk. YOU KNOW HOW THAT MAKES ME FEEL!/ SICK! YOU’RE NOBODIES, AND WHAT GIVES ME THER IGHT TO SAY THAT IS BEING ONE-HALF OF THE GREATEST TAG TEAM TO GRACE THE INDUSTRY. Storm, you were raised to be a drunk coboy that’s full of hot air. Roode, you were raised to be another annoying Canadian AND I CAN’T STAND THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE AND YOU’RE NOTHING BUT AN ARROGANT EGOMANIAC AND THAT’S THE GOSPEL. I HAVE THE BALLS TO PUT YOU IN YOUR PLACE AND I WILL WHEN ME AND MY PARTNER TAKE THE TITLES FROM BEER MONEY!
Storm - Yer wasting yer breath and these people’s time cuz yer talking about stuff they already know - THEY KNOW THAT YOU AND YER BROTHER WERE GREAT, AND THEY KNOW I’M A DRUNK REDNECK WHO LIKES TO KICK ASS THEN PARTAKE IN ADULT BEVERAGES! YOU ARE DISRESPECTING US!
Hardy - YOU’RE DISRESPECTING ME BY BEING AN ALCOHOLIC WHO’S FULL OF HOT AIR!
Storm - You ain’t gotta back up. LEMME TELL YOU WHO I AM - I’LL GO INTO A BAR AND BUST YOU IN YOUR FACE THEN WALK HOME WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND, MAKE YOU GET SOME BEER, AND WATCH US HAVE A GOOD TIME. NOW SHUT YER DAMN MOUTH AND GET YER BROTHER OUT HERE!
Hardy - Calm down a notch or three, and it’ll happen when I want it to, and that’s not tonight. It’ll happen at Sacrifice. All these piece of trash fans that don’t respect what we do, and if they wanted to see the greatest tag team in history, THEY WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO SEE THEM! This Sunday, me and my partner will be at Sacrifice - BUT MY PARTNER ISN’T JEFF HARDY, IT’S SOMEONE WHO KNOWS YOU INSIDE AND OUT. LEMME APOLOGIZE FOR YOUR UNFORTUNATE TWIST OF FATE AND SORRY…
STORM - SORRY ‘BOUT YOUR DAMN LUCK!
Tenay - IT’S THE WILDCAST CHRIS HARRIS!
Taz - We knew from your scouts down under, well not down under, that’s Australia…
Tenay - It’s Mexico…
Taz - Yeah. He’s doing some of my old stuff.
Tenay - Or not.
Tenay - THE POST-MATCH CELEBRATION OF SANGRIENTO CUT SHORT BY IMMORTAL’S HOGAN, FLAIR, AND BISCHOFF!
Hogan - THE GAMES ARE OVER, IF YOU DON’T HAVE A PHONE, A TELEGRAPH, A FAX MACHINE, , AN IPOD, AN IPOD, OR A RADIO, YOU MUST KNOW THAT THE NETWORK REP BETTER GET HIS OR HER ASS OUT HERE RIGHT NOW!
Tenay - DURING THE BREAK, HOGAN, FLAIR, AND BISCHOFF INVITED THE JARRETTS!
Hogan - I WANT THE DAMN NETWORK EXEC IN MY RING!
Tenay - COULD IT BE MICK FOLEY!
Foley - IT’S ME HOGAN! YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE THE SMARTEST GUY IN WRESTLING, BUT MARCH 3RD, EVERYTHING CHANGED! SOMEONE KNOWN AS THE NETWORK BROUGHT IN STING, AND THERE WAS SOMEONE THERE TO MAKE SURE YOUR GRASP ON TNA WASN’T CONCRETE - THAT SOMEONE IS ME! YOU WANNA GET IN MY FACE!? YOU WANNA TAKE A SHOT, MAKE IT A DAMN GOOD ONE! IF I GET UP, YOU, YOU, AND YOU WILL NEVER WORK HERE AGAIN - I’M A NETWORK EXEC AND GET OUT OF MY DAMN FACE. THIS SHOW IS NOT ABOUT YOU, OR YOU, THIS SHOW IS ABOUT WRESTLING! AS OF NOW, WRESTLING MATTERS ONCE AGAIN. IT MATTERED WHEN I WAS A KID AND SAW YOU WIN THE WORLD TITLE IN THE GARDEN, AND WHEN I SAW YOU FACE STEAMOAT FOR 45 MINUTES IN EAST RUTHERFORD! THIS SHOW IS NO LONGER TNA WRESTLING, IT’S IMPACT! EVERY TIME YOU HEAR THE NAME IMPACT, YOU WILL KNOW AND THINK BACK TO THE DAY THAT THIS WAS THE DAY WHEN YOU STOPPED MAKING A DIFFERENCE AND TO SHOW YOU AND ALL OF YOU WHAT AN IMPACT IS ALL ABOUT, WE GOT A NEW MAIN EVENT! 25 MAN BATTLE ROYAL! NO MORE GAMESMANSHIP, NO MORE POLITICS, JUST 25 MEN IN THIS RING TO DETERMINE WHO WILL BE THE NUMBER 1 CONTENDER FOR THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! THAT’S IMPACT AND THAT’S WRESTLING! And because you’ll wrestle on Sunday, I’LL TELL YOU WHO KURT ANGLE’S TAG TEAM PARTNER IS AT SACRIFICE!
Taz - CHYNA!? THA CHYNA!?
Taz - CHYNA HERE IN TNA!? KURT ANGLE’S TAG TEAM PARTNER AT SACRIFICE!?
Tenay - FOLEY CHANGES THE NAME FROM TNA IMPACT WRESTLING TO IMPACT WRESTLING ON SPIKE TV!
Foley - It’s great to be back here ON IMPACT WRESTLING! When I was out there, I understood why this sports coat was $75 in casual XL. I WAS LOOKING FOR HOGAN TO KNOCK ME DOWN BECAUSE I WAS THERE WHEN HE WON THE WORLD TITLE AND I RESPECT HULKAMANIA, but they’re still a part of this company where wrestling matters.
Anderson - NOW wrestling matters!? I’VE SAID IT ALL ALONG - PRO WRESTLING IS REAL AND PEOPLE ARE FAKE. JUST LIKE MICK FOLEY. THIS IS THE GUY THAT’S BEEN HOLDING ME BACK, DENYING ME MY ONE ON ONE REMATCH!? HE PUT ME IN A 25 MAN BATTLE ROYAL - BRA-VO! I’m gonna enjoy throwing every last one of those individuals out. I’M GOING AFTER STING OR RVD!
Tenay - Recently on IMPACT WRESTLING, the match between Joe and Crimson was interrupted by this man - Abyss!
Tenay - For 18 months, I’M TALKING A YEAR AND A HALF, he was never beaten. Joe feels that Crimson’s winning streak of a couple months pales in comparison.
Taz - I don’t think Crimson shoulda hit Joe that hard - just pissed him off.
Taz - ABYSS HAS NO TEETH ON THE BOTTOM!? WHAT HAPPENED THERE!?
Tenay - I think it was that kick a few weeks ago.
RVD - It never hurts to have a little too much information.
Taz - Anderson’s been talking about HOW HE WANTS HIS TITLE SHOT - I hope he gets it so he’ll stop talking about it.
Tenay - From this point on - IT’S IMPACT WRESTLING ON SPIKE TV! WE CAN ONLY WONDER WHAT’S GONNA HAPPEN NEXT WEEK ON IMPACT WRESTLING ON SPIKE TV!
Tenay - ERIC YOUNG JUST ELIMINATED THE TNA TV CHAMP, GUNNER!
Tenay - AND HE ELIMINATED HIMSELF!
Taz - God bless him, he’s a special young man!
Taz - Bully Ray just hit Devon from behind - didn’t they have 5,000 tag team titles during their run?
Tenay - WE’RE BRINGING IT BACK TO WRESTLING! AND THIS FIRST STEP IS A 25 MAN BATTLE ROYAL!
Foley - I made a lot of decisions tonight, but the bad one was wearing this sportscoat in the Florida heat.
Taz - You probably bought it in the ‘60s, knowing you.
Tenay - I JUST LOVE THE FACT THAT WE’RE CALLING IT IMPACT WRESTLING - BECAUSE WRESTLING MATTERS!
Foley - Karen’s interference gave Jeff the advantage!
Taz - Sometimes there’s interference in wrestling, Mick.
Foley - I know, brother!
Foley - It’s happening IN THE ZONE!
Taz - Mick, what’s with the clichés? YOU GOT A MILLION OF ‘EM!
Taz - Look at how high Bully Rays’s pants are!
Foley - Fred Mertsz is looking down from heaven.
Anderson - LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AFTER OVERCOMING SEEMINGLY INERMOUNTABLE ODDS AGAIN AND AGAIN AND FREAKIN-GAIN, I GIVE TO YOU THE NUMBER 1 CONTER FOR THE TNA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! AND I AM TO STING WHAT THE US NAVY SEALS ARE OR SHOULD I SAY WAS TO OSAMA BIN LADEN - I’M FREAKING LOCKED, LOADED, AND READY TO GO BABY! BOOM! HEADSHOT! BITCH!

They need to get Tyson Kidd a white dog named Snowy and repackage him as Tin-Tin. That or they can shave that giant eyelash off of his forehead.
 
Matt Hardy was good on the mic, tonight, but Chris Harris looked super chunky, and timid, like Jay says.
 
That was a great promo by Hayes. Too bad the guys on the roster don't know how to cut promos like that.

The TNA name change thing is just super unclear, and was pretty much buried because Hogan cut Foley off during the announcement. Has there been any sort of rumor as to how far the name change goes, or is it just going to be for Impact? I haven't seen the shots that Jay mentioned.

Tossup. He had a few glints of greatness, but seemed to stumble into "herp-a-derp I'm a North Cackalacky hillbilly" on occasion. That said, since the point is to hate him and what he says, he did a good job at that.

Also, I'm still amazed that one of the most solid, hard working heels in pro wrestling today is Bubba fucking Dudley. Kudos to him.
 
Said it before, but Truth and Bubba Dudley being two of the best performers in the wrestling industry right now still makes my head hurt when I think about it. Considering how useless both have been for many years, we're gettnig great stuff from both of them.

Truth (no pun intended).
 
Watching that Superstars link right now. Didn't know Barretta is from Mt Sinai. Actually, kinda surprised they announce him as that, and not from Long Island.
 
Diggin that Kid/Baretta vid.

Episode 13 was the shit. Waffle House picture is priceless.

Watching the Master McIntyre match on Hulu. Master's atomic drop was epic.

If it gets him more sceentime on one of the shows, then I'm all for it. At least they're doing something with him.
 
Damn, that match was fantastic. Tack another 10 or so minutes onto it and it could have easily been a great PPV match.

See what happenes when you just let two talented guys go out and and fucking WRESTLE, WWE?

Smackdown wasn't that bad this week, but
the generic "4 guys come out, tag match is made, rinse/repeat" formula is one of the most lame duck things they could do for the main event feud.
 
Yeah, I thought the Bryan/Sin Cara match was fantastic.

In case you missed it, Baretta/Kidd on Superstars was pretty good too.
 
[quote name='Regian']Just wanted to drop a line to my fellow CAGs here:

I am looking for people interested in doing a wrestling show for my new network on BlogTalkRadio. Figure I would give anyone here a go first before opening up to anyone else. All I ask is for a small chip-in towards the monthly account subscription.

Anyone interested, please let me know.[/QUOTE]

I might be interested. I wasn't sure if wrestling was the way I wanted to go exclusively, but I've been wanting to get a podcast of some sort going or at least contribute to one.
 
Pretty good show - not as great as last week's, but still worlds better than either Raw or Impact. I loved Danielson-Sin Cara, and Chavo was once again great on commentary. He was a lot better than Booker usually is, although I did enjoy Booker bringing up managers licenses and his rant about Christian having to defend the title on SD, Christian faking being okay with having to do that, and the one about Cody's mask which were each debunked somewhat logically by Cole.

Loved Cole tripping Layla then getting scared by Kharma. Glad to see Barrett back on the mic, hopefully it leads to him getting a real push after the PPV. Dug the main event and I'm also glad to see Sheamus back as a main eventer. Cody-Ted was Ted's best match in a while. He actually seemed motivated, and I liked the little Dr. Death-esque logo on his tights. Liked that this was also still the Christian show, just with Orton as champ, as it revolved around Christian's reactions to stuff and of course he won the main event for his team. It's gonna be great seeing him lose his shit after being beaten by Orton while at 100% at the PPV.

Screens -







There's something very strange about a cowboy...




Sin Cara DOES NOT APPROVE!




Quotes -
Cole - The clock struck midnight quickly for Cinderella!
Christian - There’s been a lot of talk about Teddy leaving it up to the WWE Universe to determine a number 1 contender - there’s been a lot of controversy, AND THE PEEPS WEREN’T HAPPY WITH IT. But I have to be honest with you. I agree with and respect Teddy’s decision to make the title match on SD. His duties are to put on an unpredictable show for every single one of you. I’m cool with it, and ya know peeps, if Teddy isn’t doing that, then he isn’t doing his job. That being said, I also wanted to congratulate the new world champion, Randy Orton. Hey peeps - Randy didn’t do anything I wouldn’t have done myself, and I’m looking forward to our rematch in 2 weeks at Over the Limit. I have a really good feeling, things will turn out differently - if I took anything away from last week’s SD is this - a 100% Christian can beat Randy Orton. Now that also…(Sheamus comes out)
Sheamus - Relax fella, I’ve come out here to commend Teddy as well, CUZ I LOVED WATCHING THE MOMENT YOU WAITED 16 YEARS FOR VANISH IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE. I also agree with him on one thing - IT’S ALL ABOUT GIVING THE WWE UNIVERSE WHAT THEY WANT, AND WHAT THEY WANT IS A MATCH BETWEEN YOU AND ME RIGHT NOW!
Henry - Sheamus, pump ya brakes a second - I, and I think I speak for all these people - WE ENJOYED SEEING CHRISTIAN GET HIS DREAM SHATTERED LAST WEEK. But you were not the one drafted from Raw that these people came to see face him - you’re the redhead stepchild that talks funny. THESE PEOPLE CAME TO SEE THE WORLD’S STRONGEST MAN, MARK HENRY!
Sheamus - Sure sounds like it, doesn’t it!?
Henry - All right - maybe they didn’t, maybe they came to see Mark Henry vs. Sheamus!
Booker - UT OH!
Sheamus - Or maybe they came to see us team up in a handicap match against Christian.
Booker - Sheamus and Mark Henry wanted a fight, AND I’LL BE DOG-GONED IF THEY DIDN’T GET IT!
Chavo - Let me introduce the man following in MY footsteps - SIN CARA!
Cole - I love the Mexican heritage - they all have their own ring announcers.
Cole - And the nerd Daniel Bryan just gets Chimel. HE DESERVES IT!
Chavo - Sin Cara thinkgs he’s an innovator - but he’s really a THIEF AND A COPYCAT!
Chavo - I’m a third-generation superstar. I have many more years of wrestling experience than him.
Chavo - Nice tope con hilo - reminds me of the one I did against Eddie the night after he won the WWE Title.
Chavo - He’s a good flyer - he really is.
Booker - YOU REALLY GIVE YOURSELF A LOT OF CREDIT FOR SIN CARA’S…UPBRINGING! WHAT’S UP WIT DAT!?
Chavo - I’m just a mentor.
Chavo - Did you see how he floated right there? Almost as good as when I did it.
Booker - THEY RIGHT IN FRONT OF US! HD! RIGHT IN THE LIVING ROOM!
Cole - WE’RE BROADCASTING IN HD!
Layla - My friendship with Michelle McCool ended when I beat her at Extreme Rules, and in that match, I hurt my knee. Well, as painful as it is, it was worth it! I FINALLY GOT THAT POISON OUT…
Cole - ENOUGH ENOUGH ENOUGH! LAYLA, NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU AND MICHELLE MCCOOL. IN FACT, NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU OR ANY OF THE DIVAS. YOU’VE BEEN INHALING TOO MUCH HAYSEED HERE IN THE VOLUNTEER STATE. THESE PEOPLE WANT ME TO TALK ABOUT TENNESSEE’S OWN JERRY LAWLER! This Monday on Raw, Lawler challenged me to a match, and MY FRIEND JACK SWAGGER ACCEPTED, AND WHEN I BEAT HIM, HE’S GONNA INDUCT ME INTO THE HALL OF FAME WITH HIS RING AND I’M GONNA SHOW HIM HIS RING JUST LIKE THIS. YOU KNOW WHO’S GONNA LOVE THIS RING!? MY MOTHER!
Layla - Wow. Michael. WOW. Michael - SHUT UP! AND CRAWL UP INTO YOUR LITTLE GLASS HOUSE LIKE A PUPPY.
Cole - YOU’RE JUST A PRETTY LITTLE CRYBABY. I HURT MY KNEE, WAH WAH WAH. THE DIVAS SHOULDN’T BE IN WWE, AND AS THE VOICE OF WWE, I’LL TELL YOU (Kharma comes out)
Crowd - GET MICHAEL COLE! GET MICHAEL COLE!
Josh - VINTAGE COLE as he tripped Layla.
Barrett - Now now, Kane, I’m sure you’ve got some reservations tonight, especially considering your tag partner is down in Mexico with the rest of the Raw superstars - YOUR FEAR IS WELL-PLACED. After what the Corre did last week, we’re stronger and more efficient and that spells very bad news for you.
Booker - THERE IS NO WAY THAT 3 IS STRONGA THAN 4 - COME ON NOW!
Booker - Slater and Gabriel shouldn’t be out here - THEY DON’T HAVE A MANAGER’S LICENSE!
Cole - IS IT 1985!? You don’t need a license to stand outside the ring!
Booker - SO THEY’RE CHEERLEADERS!?
Cole - I WAS A CHEERLEADING CAPTAIN IN COLLEGE!
Booker - WHY AM I NOT SURPRISED!?
Booker - There are two big guys in the ring.
Cole - TREMENDOUS insight there, Book….
Cole - This is a borderline assault.
Booker - IT’S A CRIME!
Booker - BARRETT’S THE SHOT-CALLA OF THIS GROUP!
Booker - Khali’s got some pep in his step.
Cole - AM I THE ONLY ONE SEEING THESE TWO IN COWBOY HATS!? They’re like J.R. on Slim Fast.
Singh - Khali LOVES COUNTRY MUSIC.
Cole - Khali’s more interesting when he speaks Punjabi.
Cole - There’s nothing but beasts in Tennessee. O-BEASTS!
Singh - WHERE ARE YOU, SWEETHEART!?
Cole - MY GOD!
Cole - SHE’S GOT ROLLS AND FLAPS!
Booker - SHE’S GOT CURVES!
Singh - What’s your name?
(fat chick)Joy - JOY!
Cole - Joy? I THOUGHT SHE’D SAY J.R.
Cody - Judging by the smirks I’m seeing, I guess you all assume that this is where I ENTERTAIN YOU. WELL, LET US ENTERTAIN the idea more or less the fact that I’m not the freak here! YOU ARE! That is once again why, at great…SHUT UP! AT GREAT EXPENSE TO ME, I am providing you with these paper bags! That should distract us all from the overall lack of attractiveness here tonight. You look unhappy! You must know that nobody on SD, nobody in the WWE, is exempt from these paper bags! Not even… a priceless friend.
Cole - Rhodes and DiBiase were once part of Legacy - THEY DATE WAY BACK!
Cody - PUT THE PAPER BAGS ON!
Cole - I admit, they do look better with the bags on. PUT THE BAG BACK ON, KID!
Booker - THE MASK IS ILLEGAL!
Cole - WRESTLING boots are legal, right? THE MASK IS A PART OF CODY’S ATTIRE!
Booker - To wear, not to use!
Cole - SO HE SHOULDN’T KICK HIM!?
Cole - CODY, DON’T USE YOUR KNEE, IT’S ILLEGAL!
Cole - These people with BAGS ON THEIR HEADS are laughing at Cody.
Barrett - We didn’t just make a statement tonight - we make one week after week. We destroyed the Big Show, Kane, AND that ingrate Zeke! I’d like to challenge him for a match one-on-one at Over the Limit.
Heath - You should make it for the IC title.
Barrett - Well, I’ll be there - I hope Zeke can make it.
Josh - Gotta give Christian credit for not whining about losing the title.
Booker - THAT WAS AN ACT! THERE’S NO WAY IN HELL AFTER 17 YEARS OF TRYING TO GET THAT BIG PRIZE YOU’D SAY THAT.
Cole - Well, you’d know about that - you lost the world title numerous times.
Booker - Christian was FORCED into a title match FIVE DAYS AFTER EXTREME RULES!
Cole - So? CENA DEFENDED HIS TITLE THE DAY AFTER EXTREME RULES.
Booker - CENA CAN DO WHATEVER THE HELL HE WANTS!
Booker - TEDDY IS TRYING TO KEEP UP WITH THE JONESES!
Cole - WHAT’S WRONG WITH THAT!? IT’S ABOUT RATINGS AND THE WWE UNIVERSE BEING EXCITED ABOUT THE PRODUCT!
Booker - I know how Randy feels, winning the world title six times on six separate occasions.
(after the 3.0)Booker - I’VE TAKEN THAT BEFORE - IT’S WHY MY BACK IS IN THE SHAPE IT’S IN NOW!
 
Why do they dim the lights for Sin Cara matches?

EDIT: lol, this can't be true but I read it's to hide his potential botches. That's funny.

Personally, I keep getting Glacier flashbacks.
 
They're doing it to make him stand out more - they did it for Kane at first with the red lighting, and now they're doing it for him. They're doing a better job with it than TNA does for Xplosion/Hardcore Justice, since you can still easily see what's going on.
 
The last two Smackdowns have been pretty good in terms of wrestling content. I really enjoyed Bryan/Sin Cara from this week. That was some great stuff.
 
Prince Devitt vs Low Ki is booked for the NJPW show in NYC tonight. I kinda wish I'd made a weekend out of this and gone to all three show.
 
The finals for the IWGP IC championship tournament is MVP-Yano. I wish I had been in New York and New Jersey to see those matches—and to meet Devitt in person. In 2010, he and Marufuji put together a match that was only second to Michaels-Undertaker 2.

So it was a rehash of something better they did the year before?
 
I'd love it if NJPW came to Michigan. Then again, my work schedule is the most chaotic shit on Earth, so I'd probably get cockblocked.

Next time a TNA ppv is in Michigan, I'll probably go to it.
