David Otunga: Ace Attorney
wrestlingtheory:
grapplekingdom:
Something amazing happened on Raw last night, and it may have passed right by many of the show’s viewers: with one shift in focus to his character, David Otunga finally found his perfect role.

This sums up entirely my pleasant shock at David Otunga’s shift from pure dislike to shockingly fascinating character with a future.
I’ll read the article...

Talk about a bumout.
At least the promo package was rad until the part with Cena and the creepy porno melody and white vignetting and soft focus.

Fair to Flair: Wrestling Fans Are Reverse Hipsters →
fairtoflair:
“Hipster. To some it’s a dirty word, to others, it’s a lifestyle. Unlike most sects of people, most cultures, you can’t really define hipsters by what they are, but rather by what they are not. Stereotypically, they are the group of people who operate by flight of fancy, and that fancy is what the…”
I’m gonna have to disagree with this one.

The Theme is What's Important →
I remember sitting in English class in high school and listening to my teacher break down classic stories for their themes and symbolism. I also remember thinking these topics were not only unnecessary, but made up out of whole cloth so that these fantastic stories could be ruined for generation after generation of school children. Now that I’ve written a book, I have begun to...

Mark Henry's Sad History →
This is an old article, and I had never heard about the dark match incident until I just read it on The Wrestling Blog, but man, seeing the guy’s career laid out in the way it is in that article makes his win sunday and current run over the past couple of months feel that much better.

International Object: Will any story conclude at... →
awrestlingtumblr:
yes, but who wins and who loses IS what determines the direction of the story. Somewhat related: IMO, the CM Punk/ Cena angle was fumbled terribly. What could have turned CM Punk into the No 1 star and Cena into a great anti-villain just became some stupid push for HHH and really distracts from Del Rio’s title run. CM Punk and Cena are going right back where they were before...
Had a dream that Del Rio became a face and hired a...
He did a weird jig on the way to the ring. I did not like it.

internationalobject:
I’ve grown weary of predicting winners in wrestling, because such things are a) sort of absurd, and b) rather subjective. Instead, I’m trying something new for NOC: What are the odds that a story will in any way conclude? What’s interesting about this show is that the odds are ludicrously long…
Maybe my favorite concept in writing about wrestling in a while. We know...

WWE signed Claudio?
When did this happen and why didn’t I know?
LSKFISDJSDFJSDIPFDSFS :’)
From what I’ve read, they signed both of them at the same time, but Claudio is the only one in FCW right now… but what I also read was that they were not going to developmental. I thought they were part of the Tag Division’s new blood that would make everything...

Dreams
Last night, I dreamed:
Bryan Danielson and Kevin Nash were having a match in an ECW Arena type place. Danielson delivered a ton of stiff kicks, climbed the balcony and delivered a whopping missle dropkick, to everyone’s delight. I think I was watching on TV?
All of a sudden, Nash got up and Danielson delivered a FINGER POKE OF DOOM. Nash fell, got up and they started laughing. ...
I also love that Punk wears a fucking Terror shirt...
I knew a bunch of edge dudes in college and they all fucking loved shit bro-core metal bands like Terror, Bane, Embrace Today… SxE METAL

Santino Injured in Car Wreck →
Despite how bad the photos look, I guess he “only” suffered a separated shoulder, which seems better than what I would imagine just seeing the photos.

I feel badly for Ric and his family. I feel badly for the people who are owed money by Flair but they have legal processes by which they can look to recover what’s owed. Ric Flair is not Bernie Madoff or Nevin Shapiro. He’s a great talent who has made many bad decisions.Same goes for Michael Vick, who just inked a big, new deal with the Eagles. A small group is critical of...
