I have a really horrible feeling Cena or Rollins will walk out of NOC as WWE WHC purely as I can't see who Lesnar would feud with apart from Orton or Wyatt as Reigns has just got into a new feud, and no one else minus the almighty Sandow or Ziggler is worthy enough to be squashed in HIAC, so I reckon Cena will somehow win (maybe via roll up?) get absolutely destroyed for 5 minutes then Rollins cashes in and Lesnar isn't seen again until RR where he wins the RR, Reigns beats Rollins for the title and it's Reigns vs Lesnar at WM for the title where Cena will turn heel and help Lesnar win creating a new super heel group #FantasyBooking

Anyway, this happened in chat tonight: pastebin.com/XkPkpuKhSemi-NSFW language, and yeah it gets a bit drawn out but I think it's pretty great. Bonus points if you can spot all the references. EDIT: Forgot the part about Randy Orton already beginning his entrance for Hell in a Cell.

Fun fact: The Miz actually doesn't get any scripted lines. Vince just tells him to "go out there and act like Brock Lesnar."

Brock apparently now has a match-by-match agreement with the E. So they pay him per appearance which means he can appear more or he can just take off whenever he wants and leave everyone in a lurch. That would be funny.
Also, I went to a Dragon Gate show this past weekend. Remember how I complained about the Young Bucks? AT this show guys were slapping their thighs during routine drop kicks.

^ I remember watching that. E:60 is one of the good shows ESPN has. I'm currently planning my own G1 Climax in WWE 2K14. 22 competitors like this years. 11 from the default WWE 2K14 roster (randomly chosen from the people currently on the roster, sorry, no chance for CM Punk) vs. 11 CAWs of the number I have downloaded (since I have more CAWs than people on the WWE roster in the game, I cut the choice down to an equal number). The CAWs range from NXT, WWE but not in-game, New Japan, ROH, TNA and additional companies (only like 1 person, but whatever). After the 22 are chosen, it will be randomized once again to create the blocks. For the WWE roster, it doesn't matter if they're injured, so long as they are currently signed. The only exception is the exclusion of Rey Mysterio due to his situation. I will also use the modern day version if anyone is chosen who has alternate forms in the game. For the CAW roster, if they have a created finisher, an alternate finisher that is akin to their style/moveset will be used as a replacement due to the game scaling created finishers poorly in relation to default finishers due to Yuke's/2K circumventing online a*****es. The WWE roster: (Antonio) Cesaro Big E Langston Big Show Brock Lesnar Chris Jericho Christian Cody Rhodes Damien Sandow Daniel Bryan Darren Young Dean Ambrose Dolph Ziggler Fandango Heath Slater Jack Swagger John Cena Justin Gabriel Kane Kofi Kingston Mark Henry R-Truth Randy Orton Roman Reigns Ryback Seth Rollins Sheamus Sin Cara The Great Khali The Miz Titus O'Neil Triple H Undertaker Wade Barrett Zack Ryder The CAW roster: Hiroshi Tanahashi Kazuchika Okada Sami Zayn Adrian Neville Bray Wyatt Luke Harper Erick Rowan Shinsuke Nakamura Yuji Nagata Kevin Steen Christopher Daniels Austin Aries Adam Cole Nick Jackson Matt Jackson Prince Devitt Tetsuya Naito Minoru Suzuki Kota Ibushi AJ Styles Samoa Joe James Storm Bobby Roode Mark Briscoe Jay Briscoe KUSHIDA Tomohiro Ishii Katsuyori Shibata KENTA Karl Anderson Ricochet Bobby Fish Kyle O' Reilly MVP Jeff Hardy Matt Hardy After randomizing, here are the competitors: WWE: 1.

6. Kofi Kingston
7. Undertaker
8. Cody Rhodes
9. Cesaro
10. Brock Lesnar
11. Bad News Barrett
CAWs: 1. Kevin Steen
2. Jay Briscoe (finishers changed; Crucible to the Falcon Arrow [literally the same move] and Jay Driller to Underhook Piledriver [which in-game is actually the Vertebreaker/Gringo Killer but the game doesn't have a default double underhook piledriver to my knowledge]) 3. Nick Jackson
4. Karl Anderson
5. Katsuyori Shibata
6. Hiroshi Tanahashi
7. Prince Devitt (finisher changed; some weird custom finisher that was used as a finisher slot was replaced with the Reverse Bloody Sunday [Saving Grace], the original Bloody Sunday is a default move in-game) 8. Jeff Hardy
9. Matt Jackson (both Young Bucks, yes) 10. AJ Styles
11. Tomohiro Ishii Block A: Prince Devitt
Hiroshi Tanahashi

NXT Takeover: Fatal-4-Way is going on and KENTA shall now be known as Hideo Itami.

Lucha Dragons (Kalisto & Sin Cara) are the new NXT Tag Team Champions after defeating Ascension (Viktor & Konnor), ending their 364 day run. Ascension later interrupted KENTA's promo and got their butts whooped. KENTA (that's his name, dammit) will be in action next week on NXT.
Charlotte retains the NXT Women's Championship against Bayley.
Adrian Neville retains the NXT Championship against Sami Zayn, Tyler Breeze, and Tyson Kidd, with a heel turn to boot. That match is might just be a Match of the Year candidate.

I doubt it's a sudden heel turn right off the bat. He did what he had to do, reaction be damned. I don't discount it's a slow burn. A heel high-flyer is tricky though. Especially one with a nickname such as "The Man That Gravity Forgot."
Funny how AJ/Paige can't even get five minutes on the main roster, yet Bayley and Charlotte get about 10 in NXT. You mean to tell me give good women wrestlers time to wrestle and you'll get content out of them? Who knew?
Hideo Itami's a fine name. You're fine with using all the other names, you should be fine with using KENTA's new name.
Other thoughts on the night:
I don't know what's more shocking: Sin Cara winning a title, or Hunico winning a title. Proud of Kalisto, being a fellow Chicagoan. Holy hell, Baron Corbin's finisher was outstanding (of all things to be #1 trend worldwide tonight, it was him). And I thought Bray Wyatt has a cool reverse STO. Mojo/Bull got exactly as much time as needed. And Mojo got wrecked, so that made me happy as well. I'm actually upset that LeFort got away and left Louis to getting the bucket dumped on him. Feel bad for Louis, his eyebrows got shaved as well. Hopefully LeFort gets what's coming to him. #BAWLD #SAWFT
I hope Night of Champions is half as good as Takeover: F4W

Just saw Takeover:F4W this morning, thought the tag match was solid but not great, Sin Cara looked a bit sloppy but I suppose compared to the beast that is Kalisto Rey Mysterio would be too so thats no biggy. The Hyperdrive got squashed hurray! KENTA will forever be known as KENTA, no matter what WWE try to tell us IWC guys, Divas match was pretty decent but compared to the last 2 NXT diva matches not incredible, hair vs hair match was like wtf , missed one match because I went to the toilet and it was over before I got back, and then the main event saved the show and was very good, especially Sami Zayn who should be promoted to the main roster now, hes too good for NXT now. Overall although not as good as the last 2 NXT shows it was still very good and proves why NXT>RAW.

Corbin needs to lose the Chono-style tights. Makes his body look weird.
Brandon Stroud is right, Original Flavor Sin Cara was smooth, Hunico not as much, mainly because he has to stick with the Sin Cara-esque offense to keep the character consistent (for whatever reason). He doesn't even do the lucha lucha point thing with snap or any energy at all.
I think Charlotte and Bayley have a better match in them. Still, it was the right call to not change the title just yet.
You'd think the name KENTA would be enough for them but whatever. I'm trying to think of who his "hero" is that inspired his name. I've decided that he named himself after the Japanese movie director Juzo Itami who made the movie Tanpopo because deep down, KENTA is not a fighter but a lover of comedic satire. By the way, don't expect Prince Devitt to have the same name either. Fred Davidson, come on down!
Either Neville goes up to the main roster or he does a heel turn (possibly on the way out) because the only believable next challenger is Zayn who should not go heel.
