Lucky you.
I've got to say on Brock, sure he'll do as little work as he can for his money, but when he turns up he fecking grafts, fair dues on that, he doesn't rest on his laurels.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
Lucky you.

I can't help but wonder what they will have for CM Punk when he returns, i wpild love to see him enter a feud with Ziggler.
Wouldn't surprise me if they had him be a mystery third man in a team taking on The Shield. It'd make no sense, given they helped him out, but I'm not sure WWE would care.
In other news, there's a match between Antonio Cesaro and Sami Zayn on this week's NXT. Zayn's good, think he might turn out to be quite a decent wrestler. Reminds me of a guy who used to work in the indies called El Generico, who went to Mexico to look after orphans.
There's rumours of him returning back to Heyman before eventually him and Brock turning on Punk leading to Punk vs Brock in the autumn
I wouldn't mind seeing Punk and Brock team up along with Heyman, similar to what Stone Cold and Triple H did years ago with the Two Man Power Trip storyline. Have them beat everyone and win a world title each, defend them a couple of times before they eventually turn on each other.
Also, this made me laugh...

It's my phone, it's gone crazy. Duplicating posts and shutting down my internet app at random.
Anyway, i've just read that the WWE writers are toying with the idea of turning Lesnor and Heyman on punk and turning Punk face again. I think somebody said this above too. I think it could work, punk was great as a face and Heyman can get heat on pretty much anybody in tge world. This really could work.
So, Daniel Bryan has brought the curb stomp from ROH back if his match with Swagger is anything to go by. He's definitely getting a more serious role, fecking brilliant.
It's been long overdue, one of the best on ring performers around and he's been stuck in a comedy tag team.
If they could fill the top half of the card with ziggler, bryan, punk, swagger, del rio, cesaro and orten that would lead to an excellant wrestling product.
As wrestling is a dirty word to vince, we will make do with the great khali dancing, fandango prancing, diva's undeserved air time, social network plugging, super cena pushing, spoon fed crap.
I'd rather watch Cena than Ziggler or Orton.
Depends what Cena is doing. I don't mind watching his matches, he's a decent story teller. But Cena on the mic really pisses me off.

It sickens me that the likes of Sandow and Bryan aren't in the world title picture.
In that video Bryan reminds me a bit of Ben Stiller having a rant

Thought I was the only one who liked Sandow. He's brilliant imo
Sandow is quite good, they just don't seem to know how to give his gimmick any actual storylines.
I remember when HHH was playing a very similar character.
I actually wrote a thing about why I don't like watching Ziggler a while ago. I'll stick it in a spoiler, because some people will have already read it.
I like Sandow, but I'd like to see him have a "stepping stone" title run before he's in the world title picture. Another guy that I think has a good future ahead of him is Titus O'Neill.
He hurls himself around the ring in response to everything, and all he's doing is making himself look rubbish. If Ziggler is the only person who gets send bouncing across the ring just because Ryback raised an eyebrow, then isn't he logically the weakest guy on the roster? I don't see smaller guys that Ziggler reacting that way to powermoves, so I can only guess that he's made out of some sort of balloon material.
There was a match, or postmatch segment where Kane chokeslammed him, and he actually bounced off the canvas and did a little spin. That's not good selling, it's Shawn Michaels vs. Hulk Hogan levels of silliness! Besides, selling everything like that takes away from the biggest moves. Sell Ryback's clothesline like death, not him shrugging. Sell Big Show's knockout punch like that, or Reign's spear, make those moves mean something.
Saw a video recently of Rock getting hit by the Gore (Gore! Gore!) and he flipped backwards. Because that was one of the only moves I've seen him do that for (Stunner being another), it made it look destructive. If Rock backflipped every time someone looked at him, it wouldn't have anywhere close to that sort of impact on me as the viewer.
You don't have to bounce around like a lunatic to make yourself or your opponent look good.

That is actually a fair statement, but i think that he has improved his tendancy to over sell but i didn't see it as a massive issue if i'm honest, a touch of youthful exuburance perhaps.
I also really like Sandow, solid in the ring, good on the mic and a good, irratating heel.
I still don't fully understand how he does that. It's insane.
If you want an out and out wrestling show then go watch Ring of Honour.
Seriously, I don't get how some people don't grasp this concept, it wasn't the wrestling that made WWE/F the juggernaut it became, it was being an entertainment show.
Another fantastic match between the shield and team hell no, almost entirely thanks to Bryan and Rollins.
Managed to watch RAW in some of my down time. Some of the wrestling was very good. Can't help but feel that these 'victories' aren't really doing much for Curtis Axel though. On paper they are wins but both have not been convincing (I get that against Triple H and Cena he's not going to win clean but still). On the other hand, he has a ferocious drop kick.
The Bray promo is awesome.
Cena was over selling him on Raw tonight but yhe match was goid, until ryberg ruined it.
people tend to forget how matches finish to be honest, look at it this way, he's still undefeated and he's had matches with HHH and John Cena.
Mick Foley on Ambrose
I honestly don't know why I check this thread, I don't even watch it, but that... that is worth coming into the thread for.
Anybody catch Sami "el generico" Zayn's debut on NXT?
Never seen him wrestle before but he seemed decent. Loved his finish to the match, the tornado DDT

Where are you watching NXT by the way? The site I used to watch it on is gone now.
haha what's that from?
He's beefed up but lost none of the speed. Looks fantastic from that video, that DDT was great.
Sami Zayn seems to have a decent gimmick, very likeable.
Dunno what you lot are on about with El Generico. Everybody knows he left the Indy wrestling scene to look after orphans in Mexico.

Guess Fray Tormenta needed some help now that Mistico seems to have fallen off the face of the earth.
No idea, it just appeared on my youtube home page.
So, erm.
Yeah, I'm just going to say this outright. Antonio Cesaro is now German.
