I take it that's CIMA punishing his opponent for using powder?


My favourite part is the that the kid's wearing a 'I heart Heels' shirt. Cutest little smark.

I fully concede that I may be missing the obvious, but if you already know you've sold so few tickets, why not just comp what's left and maybe make a buck or two on merch? Or was there so little interest that nobody was coming, even for free?

It's hard to get word out on that, particularly without saying 'nobody's coming, please come!', since you don't want to look weak (particularly as a publicly traded company). The second things is you don't want to get a reputation that you can just wait and get free tickets, like TNA does (or at least used to).

Is Fandango a reasonable dancer, out of interest? His partner seems to have a clue what she's doing, but is he doing alright or did they once again debut someone with a gimmick related to a skill and not give them training in that skill?

Doesn't the NYC audience love Sinclair for some stupid reason (Twinkies?), so it may just be that. More importantly, lovely photos, lovely design, lovely main event.

Looks like DDT from Japan. Hulk is Antonio Honda and Warrior is I think Tomomitsu Matsunaga. DDT owns so check em out. They're the ones that have Yoshihiko, a blow up doll that has held quite a few titles in the promotion.

Edit: Correction apparently Warrior is Kikutaro.

It's from USA's debut show, check the puro thread if you want results/show recap.

At least it resulted in R-Truth getting blown up. Of course, he had to come back the very next night for the Smackdown tapings and completely no-sell the explosion :colbert:.

Looks like D-Young never took Titus' fashion advice.

This photo should be used in all instances when someone wants to stick out from the mold by not going with a traditional suit. Cesaro and Sandow look great in their traditional suits; Titus, Wade and Drew look okay without a tie; Justin looks like a laughing stock (particularly due to the glare making his skin too close to his shirt and tie, and his hair also blending together to make a too similar look; and Darren looks loving stupid.

This picture is really kind of depressing when you consider where each man is today and how they're regarded by their respective fanbases.

Tensai is in America, with his Wife and Young Child, being paid reasonably well (not Brock Lesnar money, but still good money). Tensai had arguably peaked in NJPW and decided to raise his child, he's a happy man.
