Well of course you do. Those of us in the trade know that you never pay sticker price to lie in bed with a former wrestling manager.

I've been watching them wrestling in our local fed in Australia since 2001, amazing to see how far they've gone.

Did one of the get his head bandaged during the match or is that a gimmick for loaded headbutts?

We need two guys. One dresses up as Bret, the other dresses as Shawn. Get the Bret to pose with Sunny, then have the Shawn to burst in and start fighting with Bret. Make sure someone's filming it.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Sup, fellow West Aussie goon. I had no idea those boys were in Japan, I remember watching them in EPW back in 2007 and thinking that they were both serious talents. Good to see them getting some recognition. I haven't met Mikey but Shane is a really nice dude along with being an extraordinary wrestler.

A ton of neat photos from the WWE Performance Center opening.



Pretty nice looking building they got.



The gym, with nobody in it.



Bunch of dudes training, and Conor O'Brian chilling on the apron.



Divas, and Paige goofing off.



REF SQUAD



Neat promo room, some other photos suggest they've recreated a bunch of the Raw/Smackdown backstage areas so guys can get comfortable in those settings. They also have a green screen studio for some reason.

I guess if the network happens, or even just for guys to see how they look/come across on camera, the green screen room makes sense.

Were they replaying Flair vs. Michaels for a reason other than it being a great match?

EDIT: Or is that Edge?

It's Edge vs Ziggler. Royal Rumble 2011 (I think? That's what WAS on and I think she just restarted the same dvd)

Edit: Also I was there on Tuesday, and she said generally Tuesdays are Old School night. :)

IIRC they used to do that too whenever they had wrestlers do their "signature poses" or whatnot, like back in the attitude era, so they could overlay onto the screen when matches were announced. Or just goofy stuff, like when Mick Foley did his Dude Love gimmick and had videos of him flying around or dancing with all sorts of weird backgrounds.

For all the match headers, when they go down a show card or say what's coming up later.
