Think he'll be randy on the wedding night?

Anyone seen my coat?

You make him sound like a predator

Jerichoholic

I bet it takes him hours to walk the aisle to the altar.

LeeJM

Do you think these wedding plans will be part of his Legacy?

Omackeral

I'm gonna take a Punt on this and say no, they could be a part of his Evolution though.

x43r0

Do we know any more details?

I mean, I presume he dropped to one knee and began punching the ground prior to asking the question

LeeJM

I think its possible the wedding video might be Rated R......K O

RollieFingers

Will he pull out the classic jumping splits for the first dance?

LeeJM

Little Naitchs reaction is brilliant. A mix of WTF and thats awesome

David Otunga wrestled his fifth match of 2015 Rockford, Illinois yesterday losing to R-Truth and he's JACKED:

beakerjoe

Going for the HHH bicycle shorts look. I wonder if he's still as clumsy.

I don't hate him as a character though and for some reason I think his theme is awful yet catchy. I need help

Jerichoholic

I'm confident that he still absolutely sucks.

"Lion's Pride" is a book about the history of New Japan Pro Wrestling. They're launching their IndieGoGo for the book (8:30AM tomorrow for us I think according to the website) in which they hope to raise $6,200. The first chapter is free on the website as well as other news about the book.

Chris Charlton, the author, comes across as a really nice guy on Twitter and his podcast each month, Japanese Audio Wrestling, is always a very enjoyable listen. I'd say it'll be worth purchasing even if you only have a passing interest in New Japan or puroresu in general.

Time flies, sadly a lot of those wrestlers have been dead for over a decade which is scarier.

Dean looks more like Stephen Moyer(True Blood) in that picture

Jerichoholic

Has anyone ever seen a WWE movie and if so why?

Stereomaniac

I saw part of one with John Cena in it I think, is there one where he fights in a pub in one sene?

Yep.

Have watched The Call and 12 Rounds (the first one). The Call was ok, ut kinda just a longer version of something like "Without a Trace".

grames_bond

The condemned with Austin and Vinnie Jones is great
12 rounds is an extremely poor, poor mans die hard 3
Christmas Bounty is the worst thing I have ever seen!

I think they are the only WWE Studios movies I have seen.

Was The Marine a WWE movie?

It sure was.

LeeJM

I actually own that. Its defo on my guilty pleasures list of movies to watch if Im sick. The Chaperone was woeful. The Condemned was actually watchable.

Dead Man Down with Colin Farrell

Angron

I've seen The Marine and the one with Kane (See No Evil I think?)

gerrybbadd

Oculus.

Enjoyed it actually. The girl in it is really hot too.

Stereomaniac

I just remembered Oculus last year as well, I went to see that one in the cinema. It wasn't amazing, but it was no more rubbish than any other horror movie that's come out lately.

skipper_G

I own a copy of 12 Rounds
and...

The Marine. I don't know why, at least 12 rounds had Aiden Gillen in it so that's something

cena

I have watched most of them. only if they are on YouTube. More into the movies Steve Austin is in none wwe movies

beakerjoe

I still have No Holds Barred on VHS.

Pentecost

Watched a few of them on Sky, The Marine 1 and 2 I think, 12 Rounds, The Condemned if that's a WWE one I know Austin was in it. I've watched worse to be honest but that says more about what I'll watch than anything else.

This a work injury or legit?

You tell me. Likely a work WWE is so bad these days Dolph could be on Raw next week.

Ziggler vs Rusev hasn't been made for Battleground so maybe the match will be saved for Summerslam. Possibly a mixed tag on top of that too.

I will stress based on what I know/heard Lana will never wrestle. She got hurt in her initial training and decided Wrestling wasn't for her. There's another rumour on top of that about medical issue preventing her from Wrestling.

Also who knows Ziggler might be leaving WWE and this is the angle to write him out. Also also this might be a mercy killing on the storyline.

How'd that come about? Sorry I haven't watched recently?

diusmr8a504cvk

She consoled him about Lana saying how she wasn't worth crying over and it just kinda grew from there.

To quote Rusev on Smackdown last week:

"I HAVE A BETTER LANA NOW."

He is using Summer to make Lana jealous post-break up.

All in all, it's poo.

Running a heavy Savage-Steamboat broken larynx type angle during it is really odd.

The crowd reactions to Lana and Summer squaring off have been really good.

Really it's all been worth it for the "I have a better Lana now" and the "cold fish" lines which were both pure gold in a wrestlecrap kinda way.

Stereomaniac

I really hope that that's the end of it now and that Rusev goes back closer to the main event.

BMMachine

Lana shouldnt wrestle. ever.

But she will because ya know....
The injury is a work though. 100%. I also think that Ziggler has shot his bolt as far as a push goes. Just no room for him at the top apparently. Something drastic needs to happen like joining the authority

PWInsider reports that Charlotte is set to make her main roster debut at SummerSlam next month. The site reports that Charlotte and another NXT Diva, likely to be Sasha Banks, will debut together to provide help for Paige against the Bella Twins and Alicia Fox.

There was talk about bringing Bayley up for the storyline, but since she is out due to a broken hand calling up Sasha is the current plan.

The references Paige has made in storyline and forthcoming NXT episodes make the first half of this is a kind of a no sh*t sherlock report.

The Bayley thing is kind of new. Bayley has been on NXT TV since March 2013 so I am glad she's in the call up mix.

Stereomaniac

She's in the image for the TakeOver advertising as well, so maybe it's her time to challenge Sasha Banks? Anyway, the sooner the better Charlotte comes up I think at this stage.

CastorTroy

Was trying to think of other ways for a new Diva to debut outside of being someone else's valet. So teaming with Paige and answering an open challenge seem the only options and since Cena is doing the open challenge...

Do find it strange though that after Sasha being heel for so long in NXT, she gets brought up as a face. Though nothing to say she'll stay that way.

So who should replace them in NXT if, for example, they had another 4 way with Becky and Bayley? Emma and ??? I know they'll probably try and push Dana more

Stereomaniac

Carmella.
