The only thing I would say against the puro style being so dangerous is we haven't really truly seen any other deaths due to the head drops. I don't disagree with you, but it's hard to pass judgment when there's only been one case (that I know of, I could be way off). Regardless, very sad news, I was incredibly shocked to see this. I don't know anyone that's seen his work that isn't a fan in some aspect.

Not to turn this into a TNA discussion but Lashley can't wrestle? Why's that? He's talking about Taz. Hmm, ok. I just figured they advertised a former champ, then Lashley showed up. I would think that was the champ they meant, not some guy that hasn't been on TV yet.

I'm surprised that gimmick hasn't be recycled long before now. I guess D'Lo had his chest protector... While I'm not terribly keen, his look needed freshening up. He could still use a haircut other than the Hardy/RVD fade aka the new Mullet. I think ke looks sorta like Raven with the jacket. I agree 100%. I hate his look. That haircut and stupid little strip of beard are very tired. It's been well over 10 years with that look, it's about time to cut it off. If not for wrestling, at least so you don't look like a tool.

I wouldn't put much stock into Low-Ki. Personally, I don't get the love for him myself. He kicks pretty hard, which is cool, but I don't see that stiff style gaining him many fans among the guys in the WWE. The first time he lays one into Batista or HHH, he's done. They definitely should pull the trigger on Punk already. I know he's solid on the mic and yet in his entire time in the WWE, I can't remember him talking for more than a few seconds here and there. My biggest problem is that you always hear the older guys say "These kids need to get themselves over. They can't just wait for creative to help them." That's true, however, if none of them are given any promo time whatsoever, how are they supposed to do that? Kofi, Punk, Bourne, Rhodes, DiBiase, Swagger, Kidd, etc........none of them are given more than a few really short little snippets to speak.

DUI, yes. But this goes way beyond that. Heroin is pretty bad news, he's heading to a pretty short life real fast.

Not to mention it fits in with the whole Sacrifice theme. Should make for a decent main event, however, who wins then? I'd say Kurt Angle won't b/c he has the least to lose. Foley losing wouldn't do much either. Sting losing....well, he'd have to retire. And Jarrett losing would take him out as the on-screen owner, creating room for Dixie's long awaited character debut (just kidding). Sting seems the most logical to win based on what everyone has to lose, unless he's seriously going to end his career in a fatal four-way match.

I picked DiBiase. He has a good size, decent charisma, and seems pretty good in the ring overall. On top of that, he has the name as well. I think Bourne (hometown boy) and Kendrick are amazing but this is the WWE, and they don't generally know how to use smaller guys. Guys like Triple H aren't going to let someone like Bourne hit all his high spots. He'll cut his legs off like he did with RVD and produce shit matches playing only to his strengths. As far as DiBiase's finisher, it's alright. I like that it's a play on his old man's move. I'd like to see him lock into a submission, like mentioned above though. Perhaps hit it exactly like he does now, then float over into a Million Dollar Dream crossface type move. It'd look brutal and I'm sure the fans would buy it immediately, as both the MDD and the crossface are established submissions.

I'd I was to throw out a guess I'd say Daniel Puder. It really could be anybody though... He definitely has the "hasn't learned to wrestle yet" part down. They bring this guy up but poor Colt Cabana is just sitting around? Waste of talent in my opinion.

I wish he would move his fucking knee pads up to his actual knees. he looks so fucking stupid with them down near his ankles. Yeah, like that asshole Ric Flair.

Personally I want to see Kane with one last run in the mask also, maybe with a Muta like over the head type deal based on his old mask. Personally I've always liked Kane, I'd like to see him get one more shot at the ME before hanging it up.

In regards to the feuds after the intergender match, Kong can go back to ODB. I'd just have her lay ODB out now, and not in a completely clean fashion. You start an injury angle with that. While ODB is "injured", Kong does everything Lance said in his column. The next Impact after the match, ODB jumps Kong, wanting revenge for the injury and a fair shot at the title. I don't care what Angle does, he can retire or something, I'd be happy.

I don't think that Kurt Angle wearing a wig made a difference at all. In fact, Kurt Angle himself never made much of a difference. Disco just needs to look at his own company (TNA). Angle has virtually nothing for them buyrates-wise. And the Mexicools? Umm, yeah, they were on SmackDown!. For all the things you could fault the WWE for, you have to make up shit like that? Then again, if he had any clue as to what works and what doesn't, maybe TNA wouldn't be such a mess either.

EDIT: Nevermind this post, reread and answered my own question.
