Raven and Bret Hart are big AJ Styles' fans.

If this souffle thing gets taken down, you KNOW WWE guys are reading these boards.

Am I the only one loving Konnan in his new role? IMO this is the first time he is being used to his full potencial in US and he is delivering. His promos have single-handedly made the LAX-James Gang feud worth watching. And I believe he is the only wrestler not named Jarrett who's got a "you suck" chant in the normally smarky Orlando.

Monty looks nothing like himself.

What the hell are you talking about? I never said Joe will have trouble against bigger opponents. I said Joe will have trouble against american heavyweights. Ofcourse Japanese wrestlers are used to the strong style matches thats why he had a good match against Kobashi.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

That's what I'm saying man. Joe's looking like a million bucks because cruisers are taking all his stiff stuff, they are used to it. I don't think Joe can produce the same caliber of matches if he goes to the main event level against heavyweights because they won't take it.

But wrestling in US and Japan are totally different. Joe would totally be in his elements in Japan as everybody is used to getting stiff kicks and head drops but the wrestlers in US, especially heavyweights aren't used to that.

Really? Cause a week ago I just watched a Benoit/Regal match where Benoit head butted Regal to the point where both men were opened up hard way and Regal and Benoit are two of the best pro's out there. Hate to bring up the "this ain't ballet" bit, but if you look at everyone's closet, you are going to find skeletons. This argument that WWE guys don't hurt themselves vs the rest of the world is bullshit. Everyone who has any length of time in this business hurts someone, often times intentionally. If you look real close I didn't actually included either Regal or Benoit in my list, and they only have stiff matches against each other.

Kawada doesn't wrestle 3 or 4 times every week does he? Do you think he will still be the same if he was getting headdropped 10 times a week whole year? I think not.

Atleast Elix Skipper doesn't intentionally stiffs up his opponent. And since when is getting dropped on your neck/kicked in your head considered safe? Joe has three moves where his opponent can easily get crippled, Muscle Buster(Bentley), snap powerslam(Necro Butcher) and corner STO. BTW I like Joe's matches. But I think it's retarded when people say that Angle isn't as good as Joe because he does things like hitting the pop-up superplex when Joe is ignoring the first rule of pro-wrestling - protecting your opponent. And please don't give me the argument about Punk saying he is a safe worker. What else do you expect Joe's best friend to say?

He looks like he's beating the shit out of someone because he IS beating the shit out of someone. That's why Joe's match aginst Raven sucked and IMO he won't look half as good if he was wrestling in WWE or in TNA's main event scene. X/ROH/Indy guys are used to taking headdrops and getting kicked flush in the face. Do you think guys like Angle, Triple H, Michaels, Jarrett, Cena, Monty, Raven, Christian etc will take all those brutal kicks or Muscle Buster from Joe? These guys are from the Bret Hart school of protecting your opponent and making it look like a real fight without doing shit like splitting your opponent's upper lip in two(vs AJ), or dropping them on their neck almost crippling them(vs Bentley). That IMO is the real art of pro wrestling.

They are also getting $300,000 a year from Morphoplex.

Low-Ki can't be more than 5'5".

Is this the same Blake Norton who hosted a show on TWC and wrote columns for 411?

And Homicide is shorter than Aries.

What if TNA somehow puts him on the two hour special? He would be on Impact and Smackdown at the same time, shades of the good ol' days.

Man this PPV just got even better, TNA gauntlets rock.

What about Brock vs Abyss?

Bobby Lashley is way too short to be taken seriously as a monster. He looks about a couple inches taller than Dean and was actually shorter than the jobber Russell Simpson. He can't be more than 5'10".

Shawn Michaels

According to OVW reports this guy talks like Michael Jackson and wrestles like Tyson Tomko and Brown uses a better (and original) variation of powerbomb as his "pop the crowd, non-finisher".

No world champion?
