Yeah, "Rise and Fall of ECW" was great. I watched ECW back in the day but I didn't really understand all the angles-- I just thought it was cool to be sitting at the dinner table and look across the room and see Sandman get stapled in his eye. My parents really didn't care if I watched it because they had their own problems, so it was a weekly thing for me. I remember the RVD days that the documentary outlines too, but I didn't really mind at the time. RVD was like EC-Dub's Goldberg, and for a long time there, he was the whole fucking show because everyone else had jumped ship. These days I wouldn't be able to stand it.

Raven was my guy in the company, though. I've just always been attracted to these dark poetic types, even as a kid. That's why I liked Sting in WCW and Taker in WWF back then too. Haha, one time even I wore a Kane mask for Halloween at school but it was confiscated because my teacher thought it was too grotesque.

I have a kane mask. I use it when I go out to rape girls. I've got the voice box and everything .

Nah, I was taking my niece to one of our house shows five or six years ago and I wanted to get her a Rey Mysterio mask. She would always ask if Rey Mysterio was coming. I wasn't going to pay a ridiculous price for a Rey mask at the event, so I was looking online and the place didn't have any. Even though Kane wasn't wearing a mask then, the place was still selling them cheap for about £2, so happy days.

I still have it in my house somewhere.

Thoughts on Main Event. Miz returns on commentary.

1.) Daniel Bryan's absence is explained as some "prior commitment." Supposedly doing another TV show. This match went to two commercial breaks, which indicate how much time it was given. Pretty good match between Kane and Seth Rollins. The match ended with Kane seemingly having the win, but here comes future US Champion Dean Ambrose to the rescue. The match ends in DQ, but the battle was not over. Kane was about to be destroyed by the triple powerbomb, and with Bryan gone, who came for the rescue? The Usos. For the same reason as Kofi Kingston, simply because they lost one match against The Shield on RAW. The difference is that Kofi's on the PPV, not them. I'm just saying. The Shield retreated, and Kane survives...for now.

2.) Dammit, they showed the six man tag team match, starting with Cena vs. The Shield. So that's over 5 minutes seen already. Next was a recap and promo video for the Lesnar/HHH angle post Wrestlemania. BLAH! After that, gues who is back? Sin Cara! Something that I forgot was Sin Cara was out because of a concussion. He got that concussion in a match, with Jack Swagger. Hmmmm...

3.) How come it feels like I haven't seen Wade Barrett for a long time? Oh dammit! Wade just can't catch a break, he might as well not be Intercontinental Champion. Just so this crap stops. Yeah, Sin Cara returned, let's give him a win over Barrett for his comeback. Hooray. Like that's any cool. It's not, it's ridiculous. The match didn't even give good indication that the guy returned "better than ever" and crap. He countered some moves, suddenly did a hurricanrana/rollup combo. "Upset win." Actually, yeah, it is an upset win. It upsets me.

4.) The final match with less than 10 minutes left on the show, it therefore was not surprising to guess how this match would happen. Cody Rhodes and Justin Gabriel. Miz said his dad's favorite wrestler is Justin Gabriel. Well his dad must be sad because his favorite wrestler jobbed in a short match with Cody Rhodes. Obviously done to give Rhodes some momentum heading into a pointless preshow match with The Miz.

Thoughts on NXT

1.) Todd Phillips is with Brad Maddox. Uh oh, this is going to be a trainwreck. Summer Rae and Natalya wrestles. It lasts a decent amount of time, and was fine. The finish though made me think though. Paige made her way ringside, and was slowly attempting to enter the ring, obviously to attack Summer. Despite the fact there was a match going on. Summer shoved Natalya into Paige and rolled up Nattie for the win. To make things stranger, Summer pretty much passed Paige by as she made her exit. Paige though snapped out of it and chased Summer to the back. However, Summer pretty much got a headstart with that. I don't know man.

2.) El Generico unmasked! Sami Zayn. I knew this day would come, having to suck in the fact and stop being quiet about this. Oh man! They really do want copyright over their guys, to a fault. The interview didn't really give the sense that this gimmick is unique. In fact, he just comes across as any white guy you'd see down the street, wearing a beret and some sweater. Middle class white guy. He's got a match next week against Curt Hawkins. They can take away his mask, but they can't take his wrestling skills. Maybe he will pull a Del Rio, as in being better without the mask. That will be a tough task.

3.) Bray Wyatt wearing a facemask. It wasn't a gimmick change, it was just that he has a broken nose. So a great way of turning a negative into a positive. He claims the change in appearance is because of losing to Jericho a few weeks ago. Same creepiness to the guy, said he wants to be seen as the monsor inside, rather than a man. Furthermore, that he can't be killed. Because he's already dead! I like that. The apron that the guy wears makes him look like a butcher. Wyatt made short work of his opponent, the "hot prospect," Danny Burch. The broken nose doesn't look that bad, as he took off the mask after the match, doesn't look as crooked as Wade Barrett's nose. Hehe.

4.) Bo Dallas is becoming a heel? A smiling heel, he acted all positive for Neville, assumed he didn't know who John Cena is. Winner of the Royal Rumble this year, same one that Bo was in. He mentioned a battle royal in two weeks where the winner gets a shot at the NXT title. He assumed Neville didn't know about it and that the slots are filled. Well, Neville said that he already entered the thing. So this has to be a result of the souring from fans over this guy. Bo quotes the guy he wanted to become, but couldn't, John Cena. To Neville, "Never give up." Right then.

5.) Well Briley Pierce and Sakamoto didn't make any use as a tag team against the one man Ascension, Conor O'Brian. The guy dominated and ended it with a flapjack to both guys. Cool. Some guy who would pass off as a buddy of Conor, appeared on the stage and stared at O'Brian. I wonder if this will mean the Ascension being back to team, or even a stable.

6.) Interview with Cory Graves backstage. He's entering the battle royal, but is interrupted by Bray Wyatt. This had to be before his facemask gimmick, because he's not wearing it, in the straw hat and floral shirt. Bray Wyatt sort of challenged Cory Graves to a match. Assuming Graves will stay heel, I do find it interesting that the Family is a group that's just not liked by anyone. Since it's common for heels to get along with heels, and faces to get along with faces. This family wouldn't get along with anyone. It's a cult.

7.) Damn, Langston's NXT theme has been replaced with the one he got from WWE. Anyways, main event time. Damien Sandow's first ever singles titles match as part of the main roster. However, it's not a main roster title. The match was okay. Sandow was the heel, therefore on top the most, and Langston came back exploding. Given Sandow somehow being very over with half the fans in the NXT arena, there was a dueling chant for him and Langston. The match ended definitely for Langston, landing his finisher and winning. The show didn't end as he laid Sandow out with a second Big Ending, and did the five count. Five. What a number. It's basically the IQ of The Ryback!

slight resemblance with Antonio Cesaro and Sami Zayn

It is good that the Wyatt family don't get along with anybody. Going back to that game again, there is an option to turn off the heel and face divide, I did that once and it was hard, but interesting. Every man on the roster for himself unless he had a partner or in a stable.

Some news on Sami Callihan

Big Japan Pro Wrestling posted on their website that Sami Callahan will not be appearing on their May 24th event due to signing a WWE contract.

I read a review about the new WWE dvd coming out - the 25 greatest rivalries. I'm foaming at the mouth a bit. It sounds really good.

another update on Sami Callihan

While Big Japan Wrestling announced that Sami Callihan would be missing their next tour because he signed with WWE, that is not actually correct.

Sources in CZW indicate that Callihan pulled off the tour because he has a family member that is dealing with a severe health issue and Callihan did not want to be out of the country for 7-10 days while it is ongoing.

WWE has had interest in Callihan for some time but him pulling out of the tour has nothing to do with WWE.
