    Dusty has lost a hella lot of weight. Fair play to him.

    Not in the WWE sadly. Well not always.

    since the end of hulkamania the cream has risen to the top in wwe 9 times out of 10. bret, shawn, austin, foley, jericho, benoit, guerrero, mysterio, bryan, punk good examples of this.

    honestly even after the booking of punk, bryan, rollins, ambrose, cesaro, harper and nxt being built around zayn and neville its still funny to see fans with the mentality that wwe is going to bury every iwc favourite they sign...a mentality that belongs in 2005.

    Sami Zayn got that in May. However to the marks credit we go the Olé chants going and he got a decent few cheers.

    So, lads, could anyone do me a solid and list out a couple of Devitt's 'must-see' matches? I'm woefully underexposed to his work and am itching to jump on a bandwagon and pretend I was there first-row and day one.

    Did this about a year ago. Updated it. Here is what I believe is a concise but rounded synopsis of his body of work.

    His old tag team facing the Machine Guns:


    The match William Regal showed to Triple H that got Adrian Neville signed and Devitt continued WWE interest:

    Teasing a heel turn with Tanahashi:

    Post heel turn match with Alex Shelley in the Super Juniors tournament final - think panto baddie in front of a crowd ANGRY he is cheating his way to the final of competition he won as a whiter than white babyface:


    This year's Tokyo Dome match vs Ibushi:

    A match from his stint on the UK indies after New Japan against Zack Sabre Jr: Devitt is his long time friend & mentor. Superb Wrestler in his own right

    I personally am very much looking forward to seeing what his promo's are like under the WWE umbrella, and how he copes. It will be interesting anyway

    I also would really recommend this match from last year

    Prince Devitt vs Gedo NJPW Kizuna Road 2013
    http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x11unrj_prince-devitt-vs-gedo-njpw-kizuna-road-2013_sport

    One of the most hated heels in the past 10 years of New Japan and now co-booker Gedo being a unbelievably great underdog babyface against the evil heel turned Devitt.

    Did anyone order the red Prince is Dead shirt from Suplex? It's been about 24 working days and it's not shown up and no reply to an email I sent a few days ago.

    I didn't order one but Suplex are usually on the ball with their shipping. Hope it arrives eventually. Pretty cool t-shirt

    I ordered from the final batch of which they said there were only 30 left. Kinda wondering whether they'd any left for me :/

    Can I ask what the email was? I emailed a Gmail account as well as info@supplex or something. 4 weeks seems like a very long time. My OSW shirt arrived within a week.

    I hope you got one on the order anyway. It's a class t-shirt and would definitely be a shame to miss like that.

    My OSW was about 2-4 days. I had pre-ordered when Jay announced. WWE euroshop are quite good too. I ordered a Punk hoodie two weeks ago and it arrived within a week.

    Suplex are supposed to quite good. Nearly ordered a bullet club tee at one point but decided to wait. Wish I had now after seeing the price by Pro wrestling Tees dot com.

    Judging by that picture his WWE ring name will be CM Devitt :-P

    Nah, they just need him to grow the sideburns and then do a Sin Cara and debut him as CM Punk. Already have the crowds chanting his name, so why not?
