Your new gimmick is Lucien though.

So does finishing fourth make me the Divas champion?

Rog, I posted 7 minutes after Irene but you counted his and not mine?

Yours are there

For anyone curious about the WWE's latest acquisition Sin Cara, here's a video showcasing what he's all about.

From the Wrestling Observer last week:

Sin Cara débuted at the WWE RAW House Shows this past weekend. The first, in Champaign, IL, he did a lot of his trademark stuff with lots of flying. The second night in Evansville the agents changed his Mistico spots to more generic spots - springboard off the top into a spinning huracanrana changed to springboard off the top into crossbody; and La Mistica changed to tornado DDT. By the third night in Indianapolis, while he got over with his style and moves all three nights, he did work more like a typical small guy flyer coming out of Florida Championship Wrestling than someone with a unique style.

So does finishing fourth make me the Divas champion?

Joint fourth. If the tiebreaker is applied to you and BS then you come out fifth.

[Cuttooth]

The Rock didn't bury them.

Plus if he's back in a bigger capacity, it's good momentum going into his feud with Cena.

Yet terrible momentum for the company's champion.

Ssh, joint fourth, there is no fifth.

Me and BS are Laycool.

[Wedgie]

A friend tried to tombstoned me last night.

Luckily that I reversed it.

Not being drunk FTW. Don't try this at home!

PS Actually disappointed that the Rock doesn't do much apart from burying them two.

I'm ashamed to say that I don't strawberry floating who most of them. I barely remember John Cena. I only remembered him because of the retarded signature "handwaving in front of his face" salute.

HHH vs Undertaker and the Lawler match is the only matches I enjoyed because I knew them. The rest... meh.

strawberry float this new era. Bring me the oldies out!

You would love TNA

No thanks.

TNA is a joke. I watched two episodes and can't believe how bad it is. Even Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair looks so pathetic. It's time for them to retire gracefully.

EDIT: I mean get out of whole scene, not just "not wrestle anymore" scenario.

Cheers for running it Rog

Kurt Angle on some Sheen sounding Twitter rants at WWE, can't link as on IPod. So he is the first to ever use the ankle lock, suplex and top rope finish? Arse. Bitter bitter tears.

I'm not a TNA mark, but I'm beginning to think that Tuesday nights on Challenge is where I'm going to get my wrestling fix from.

As an entertainment spectacular, Mania was very very good. As a wrestling show, just alright.

When you have someone such as Daniel Bryan who is recognised by thousands of people across the world as the best technical wrestler on the planet being mixed up in a mid-card hell clusterfuck dark match, one has to worry about where the WWE is going. I'm not huge on Sheamus either, but fella, he deserves a spot on the top show for all his work this year.

strawberry floating wrestling promoters, all as bad as each other.

"To WWE wrestlers, Don't use my Finish. Get more Creative. Hmmmm- Orton. Did I say that."

"I heard Orton had an Awesome match though. Ur welcome. Lol."

"I guess Swagger will use my Ankle Lock as well.Very creative. I'm the Best in the World. You Guys will never be Kurt Angle.can I get an AMEN."

"Kurt Angle will never die. TNA. WWE. I'm a leader. Not follower."

"Why would WWE use my finishes? Is it because I won't go back? R Orton- Angle Slam. M Cole- Ankle Lock? They have some nerve."

"Jerry Lawlor did it too. But He is a Legend. WWE really stuck it to Me.No Love lost. I'm glad that I helped Your biggest Event of the Year:)"

I'll be honest, considering WWE is really rather gooseberry fool constantly, I enjoyed last nights event. For the first time in a long time they had a decent solid under and start mid card, then it all fell apart after that (It really was an overly extended episode of RAW as mentioned, and a lot of the constant segment cut aways back stage, if done in other promotions would have been crapped all over by many people, but ignored because it's the wwe - not hinting at anyone here btw, just people I know irl). I don't get the HHH/Taker loving either, was rather lacklus imo (However, the effort they put in cosidering their physical states was to be appluaded at least) Also they made be a believer in Cody Rhodes as well, which is a helluva job

Again, better then a few years WWE, but only beucase the lower card stuff was much better then usual

[KK]

Not really a good night for the new guard, was it. They've even soured on Del Rio. Who goes into a PPV losing 3 straight weeks in a row, & then loses at the show itself? Oh, that's right - the other shinning light that was, Dolph Ziggler.

Even Booking 101: The Book is no longer valid.

Years are whittling away, & it's still down to the likes of Rock, Austin, Undertaker, Triple H & Jim Ross to save the show.

[Mafro]

Beggars belief the amount of title reigns Edge has had over the years. I thought Del Rio was a certainty to win last night. It just makes the Rumble seem a bit worthless these days.

[Floex]

Can I ask a serious question to you lot, have any of you thought about getting into MMA? Like, if you haven't what is turning you away? You have feuds, you have build ups to events, you get that rassle dassle of wrestling of press conferences and video packages etc. I'm just going by me popping in and out of this topic of how bad it has become. It's not about wrestling anymore. You know what it can be, I know what it can be but it just isn't that anymore. The biggest event of the year has been gooseberry fool for what, 3 years now atleast and it doesn't seem to be getting any better. I can't see much change until the big players step aside with replacing them with people who know what wrestling is all about

This is coming across like a recruitement drive Sorry about that

It's as if Ken Shamrock never existed to Mr Angle

Isn't that now 4 years in a row where the Rumble winner has failed to win the title at Mania?

I'm sure someone said it was 5!

What happened to the tag team stuff. When I was into Wrasslin yonks ago that was one of my favourite things about it, so many quality tag teams around and a host of other decent ones loitering about.

The bits and pieces I've seen over the past few years including last night seem to suggest it's just been swept under the carpet really.
