You go girl.

Oh, was I supposed to notice Sheamus? I was too distraced by Snoop Dogg's sexy legs!

Tenryu has had one helluva hall of fame worthy career.

may he enjoy retirement knowing he gave everything he had to the business.

pretty damn awesome his career has lasted as long as it has imo.

He and Jumbo Tsuruta put on some of the greatest matches ever.

Daily Sports in Japan today reported that Genichiro Tenryu, 65, will retire later this year.

Tenryu had major back surgery and had not been the same since returning. A former star in sumo, Tenryu was pushed from the start in All Japan, after working in several U.S. territories for Roy Shire and Jim Crockett in the 70s.

By the mid-80s, Tenryu was one of the top stars in the world. His singles feud with Jumbo Tsuruta in the late 80s was one of the top in-ring rivalries of the past 30 years. He headlined stadium shows with the likes of Nobuhiko Takada, Antonio Inoki, Riki Choshu and Hulk Hogan.

DDP had a pretty bad scare

I know how it feels to not be able to breathe but not to that level

A Reigns heel turn almost has to lead to Rock vs Reigns at WM next year.

Brock Lesnar is leaving on the verge of a possible monstrous babyface run.

He's leaving in a month

Double moonsault..oof

Road to Reignsamania Dirtsheets:


Some other sheet news include DDP was recently rushed to the ICU after being diagnosed with Subglottic Stenosis (breathing problems). Also according to the PWTorch, the #CancelWWENetwork had a bigger impact than the WWE originally believed and is the main reason why Reigns vs Bryan is happening at Fastlane.

Cinematic masterpiece

Iginfest update:

I watched the royal rumble the other week, which was the first proper wrestling I'd seen since last years royal rumble. It was really bad. Bad enough for me to continue not watching.

Well then fuck you too. I figured you would watch it if only to catch up with the annual Royal Rumble Billy Gunn appearance.

I think I said last year that the new age outlaws were the only good part of the ppv. Close to being the same again on this years one. The Brock Lesnar match was pretty good though. Rumble was the most boring thing ever.

Hiroshi Hase and The Great Muta

https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.n...e95c5f0ab7b5b0

Great Muta has the appearance of an aged Mafia boss of some sorts. Bet he could still kick some ass.

Main source is from a recent Observer radio show although Meltzer did tease the plans could end up changing again because WWE still hasn't made their mind up on Mania's card outside of Triple H vs Sting (and maybe Cena vs Rusev).

Outside of Vince, Reigns is also rumored to have been losing a lot of support in management with almost everyone believing he's still not ready or worthy for the current super push.

So the match at fast lane must end in shenanigans in order for the match to be triple threat.

Also while they didn't want to repeat last year, they're doing back to back triple threats. I'm not convinced Reigns doesn't walk out the champion anyway.

Is that Hornswaggle?

Drew McDonald, a long-time star of the British wrestling scene passed away today following a battle with cancer.

McDonald was a staple in both Scotland and Great Britain in the 1980s as well as appearances for Stampede Wrestling in Canada. McDonald also semi-regularly appeared for WCW when the promotion toured Europe.

McDonald also operated a wrestling school in Leeds, England with former WWE Divas champion Paige among his students.

It's Sting.

I think calling him "Bumblebee Man" was generous.

NXT people are weird.

Don't understand why the Mania main event has to be a triple threat match. Feel like Bryan vs Lesnar by itself would be a better match.

Let Reigns work as a heel against Ambrose. Dude isn't even ready to main event Fastlane imo, let alone Wrestlemania.

Well, I'd rather it be Bryan vs. Lesnar, but a triple threat would still be a better match than Lesnar and Reigns one-on-one.

YES! YES! YES!

Thank God. Get him wrestling matches on Superstars that I don't have to see instead of not shutting up during NXT matches I want to see.

KICKOUT AT--Nope. Also dead.

Just have Bryan beat Reigns and then have Reigns face Rollins and Ambrose in a Triple Threat Match. The way it should have been.

Someone is going to get punished for suggesting the WWE do anything with Cesaro. I kid. But it's weird to think of Brock and Bray Wyatt having a similar stature for some reason.

Nakamura and Okada both looking pretty slick

Was it the titty master that hacked Rollins acxounts ?

Dirtsheets now with 100% more Rollins dong-related news:

Take it with a grain of salt since so far the report hasn't been verified nor denied yet by those with actual F4W/Observer sub accounts.

According to another forum that broke down the third hour, RAW had slighlty more overall viewers than Better Call Saul (around 100k more) did but got hammered in the valuable 18-49 age group (0.4 ratings lower).


Rest is from a recent Q&A session Triple H had about NXT:
Original plan was for him to only spend a short amount of time in NXT then get promoted to the main roster.

Raw's ratings are low? Obviously Daniel Bryan's fault. :roll:

I'm actually really looking forward to Ambrose vs. Barrett. I think those men could have really good chemistry, and that their characters will have a good dynamic. Ambrose also seems a good fit for the IC Title at this point.

Ambrose and barret coukd catch fire and be a big mid card feud that the wwe hasnt had in a long time.

Now with only one main title and two mid card titles is the time it can become vauable again. The us champ is un defeated and fighting cena. The ic title could be a big deal again as well. Brock needs to keep the championship away.

Franchise say something stupid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5m2I4i7Ueo

the beast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeBx_1mdgEk

So we actually got what we wanted, Rusev is defending his title apparently.

Unless this is old news. Then carry on.

I guess it's old news, but it wasn't announced straight away, right? I know I was pretty vocal on here about it not being defended. Glad it is. Whether Cena wins it or not, having the #1 guy gunning for it kinda makes it seem more important than it really is.

Has Cena even mentioned the belt?

Probably not. I haven't really followed the angle to be honest. Just the same generic angle with Cena, and I'm still not completely sold on Rusev.

Completely irrelevant nugget of joy by Rammsteinmad there.

It'll end in either dq or countout since Cena almost never taps out and Rusev to the best of my knowledge has never won via pinfall. The match at Mania will then either be I quit or Submission only with no dq/countouts. They could create another 21-1 if Rusev gets Cena to quit or tap out. Or more likely Cena wins but they could still play up Rusev never being pinned.

It doesn't matter really. Whether it's at Wrestlemania or Extreme Rules, the end result will be Cena winning.

Last time Cena tapped out was No Way Out 2004 to Kurt Angle

Before that he tapped out to Benoits crossface on Sd in december of 2003

Before that he tapped out to Angle at No Mercy in 2003

So in a 4 month span he tapped out 3 times and hasnt done so since

Juan Cena with Ziggler's ex

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2MxnhBPoIx4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

it seems that unless it's specifically part of a storyline or the wrestler's only finishing move that wrestlers "in general" don't really tap out all that often

idk, maybe because I watch like one wrestling event a month

NJPW New Beginning Spoilers

Also helps that only a couple of guys have a submission as their finisher or go to move.

One someone manages to break Rusev's Accolade, its going to end up just like Del Rio's cross arm-breaker. Move that gets built up as a really big deal during regular shows but becomes mostly non-exietsnt or treated as a regular move during ppvs.

Next episode of 5 Things looks at the men who have beaten Goldberg.

Gonna throw out my prediction and share some useless wrestling trivia that if I remember correctly the only men with victories over Goldberg are Kevin Nash, Bret Hart, Booker T, Scott Steiner, Lex Luger (and Buff Bagwell) and Triple H. None of them were clean victories either.

And that's six men... but whatever.

Rewatching some old ECW tapes today while I work. MAN, the Eliminators/Gordy/Doc match was bad. If it wasn't for Saturn's elbow off the scaffold, this match would be completely unmemorable other than for how bad all four guys worked it.

I don't usually watch Botchamania since they're not really that funny anymore and full of annoying editing, but I caught this one and the Barrett/Jericho story from 11.00 in is pretty hilarious.
