His ring work is looking decent this time around too.

So he no longer looks like Batista but instead becomes Test?

After following Big E on Twitter for a couple of weeks, I can no conclude that he is officially in my fave five.

The's guy's fucking awesomely hilarious.

What a wasted of Michael's time. Work so hard to get better only to get stuck with the biggest goober in pro wrestling.

He's going to be such a good face, I think.

^knowing our luck, the next week DDB would try that, he'd get Linda McMahon'd^They always do it for strikes/finishers that involve the head, because kids...

the Rey Mysterio/Michael McGillicutty match was the worst offender in this regard, but it actually made the action seem more dangerous hahaha

They randomly miss some, though. Like, they did the cut-away from the Skull-crushing Finale twice, but came back from break and showed it in its entirety. Good job, editing team!

Jack Swagger bums me out. He's one of the best dudes to come out of the WWE only system, he's HUGE, he can go in the ring, they pushed him hard in ECW only to make him a joke character, only to have him inexplicably the WHC, only to make him a Jericho clone, then let him be himself and it was awesome. Then they made him a full on jobber again. A lot of people have lisps. It's super common. Making that the focal point of his character was stupid.


Why? Vince will never get over Bork leaving the first time and he's punished every new guy ever since. But then he brought Bork back and got Borked for his troubles.

Man I miss Taka. I remember this match so well, I was on the edge of my seat. They had me believing that Taka was actually gonna beat HHH for the title. Why don't they ever do shit like this anymore?

And I also just really like this match he had with Christian. Taka would take some sick ass bumps.

Triple H vs. Taka is one of my favorite matches from RAW. It's also amazing how much of a pop Kai En Tai got despite the fact they were basically jobbers lol

I'm wondering if anyone here can help me. One of my favorite matches ever was Kaientai vs the Acolytes on a Sunday Night Heat match. The set up was kaientai said they could beat the acolytes in a pure technical wrestling match, "no brawling". Basically the acolytes came out and just annihilated them, I remember Bradshaw and Farooq comparing who bounced their opponent higher off the mat at the end.

It was one of the funniest matches I've ever seen, but I could never find it anywhere since it is just a random Sunday Night Heat match. Anyone know a good place to look for said match?

Swagger is great in the ring. He has power moves, but is also very agile. His mic work kind of goes back and forth, but he definitely doesn't deserve to be a huge jobber. His world title reign was so poorly booked. I don't think I've ever seen a world championship reign actually set someone back (minus CM Punk in 2008).

Making it on the month itself? Come on, that's breaking tradition!

Clearly this is all pre-determined, we already know it's gonna be February before it happens!

February thread, taped 2 days before February, requires numerous edits due to Sin Cara botching the title 3 times.

Swagger has the potential to be the next Kurt Angle.

And I have the potential to be a better Technical wrestler than Daniel Bryan. Potential don't mean shit if nobody is willing to back you, and it sounds like they aren't backing him like a true repackage.

- No vignettes on his return.
- Wasn't in the Rumble, returned to Smackdown so his big return was spoiled for most.
- Same awful fake Rage against the Machine theme
-Same stupid outfit, probably


But hey he has a beard and a better hairstyle. Maybe he can make it work, maybe the "All American American" wont sound so stupid anymore. Or maybe he'll end up in this Chamber match and go on a short-lived WHC title hunt before jobbing to Team Japanese Funk on Superstars a few months later.

He had good moments. The time as ECW Champion and feuding with Christian was really well done. When he WHC, he had a brief moment with his soaring Eagle but they ditched that pretty fast for some reason. They gave him such a shitty title run, and has been middling in the low to mid card ever since. Just another guy who can be, at the very least, a formidable mid card guy into a jobber.

It's like whoever was in charge of Jack Swagger kept getting hamstrung by corporate meddling.

OK, so I tried the very first beginners DDP Yoga thing, where it just shows you the different yoga moves. Man, even that got the heart pumping.

It will. It's good to just have things moving around. Getting mobile is key, more mobile than you're used to.

My favorite feeling with DDP Yoga is when my spine clicks and clacks back into form after child position. Oh man, feeling my vertebrae click like that feels so good.

I just didn't expect it to really get it going. I'd consider myself to be somewhat fit due to my profession, but that was a surprise! Dynamic resistance is crazy. Reminds me of a work out schedule my friend showed me years ago about some farmer/wrestler guy who'd do reps based around dynamic resistance.

Hmm, I might give DDP yoga a go, as I really don't get enough exercise these days - only do a few sit-ups/push-ups each morning, and some chi gung breathing techniques, but I want to get into moderate shape again so I can go back to martial arts classes without being an absolute wreck.

Cmon Boots, it's not much of a time investment. I used to do P90X when I had more free time - now that's a horrible time investment. Even 5 mins of yoga is great. You get what you can and you end feeling great, not ruined. Healed my knees! Being 6'7 and approaching 300 lbs of painnnn...puts the hurt on the knees.

Alright, I'm in - grabbing the combo pack from his website :)

I'm re-enrolling at my mantis class in March, so hopefully this'll go some way to getting my stamina and flexibility back before then.
