It's astonishing how much his longer hair accentuates the move and makes it more badass. Which is something I would absolutely not say about anyone else.

Every time they show a slo-mo replay of AJ flying across the ring like a literal comic book figure, I cry a little inside that they call Roman's little hopping thing a "Superman Punch".

MMA has a Superman Punch but it's not at all what Roman does.

He's emulating the stab move Brad Pitt does a few times in Troy. He's admitted it in interviews.

the only difference is that Roman's version has more theatrics and slighlty different footwork than what you would normally see in MMA, but seriously, it's professional wrestling

doing extra theatrics so the entire audience can see what you're doing is half the charm

If you want to ignore what slightly means entirely, okay sure a running leap is slightly different footwork from a kick feint.

Which'd be fine except in this case, the Superman Punch as Roman does it looks like complete rear end and the MMA Superman Punch looks really cool.

what, that roman doesn't do a kick feint before and can use both legs as he leaps forward and punches a dude in the face instead of the traditional one where someone feints a kick before leaping forward off of the front leg and punching a dude in the face

it really isn't all that obvious if you are watching it live, especially since most WWE camera work these days tends to try and follow the impact, so they don't always show the legs, just the punch

If you can spot the difference, thats good, but the more important aspects of a leaping punch are the actual leap and the actual punch, not that it has to start with him balanced slightly on one leg, and if that has to be sacrificed so it's easier for the crowd to recognize and respond to it, that's not a bad thing and simply something that differentiates professional wrestling from actual fighting.

Because CM Punk proved that ripping off a swords & sandals movie and then immediately following up with a comic book reference makes people like you.

You're all missing the real point which is that when someone asked about the superman punch he didn't know who superman is.

Potentially a spoiler, but Kairi Sane is in New York tonight (Where RAW is broadcasting from). A lot of the other NXT talent on the latest tour already flew home back to Orlando apparently.

Nope. RAW has one or two slots left to fill for Money in the Bank, however. I can see her winning a qualifying match since there are...two slots left on RAW to fill, I think. Natalya probably is getting one, which means the other one will either be going to Alicia or Dana otherwise. And it seems like WWE likes strutting out Kairi for their major events (Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania Women's Battle Royale)

Just putting it in here to be on the safe side, but the full WWE Japan tour card for June was released:

quote:

Night 1 (6/29):

- AJ Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura for the WWE Championship

- Bludgeon Brothers vs The Usos vs Gallows and Anderson vs Rusev Day for the WWE Smackdown Tag Team Titles

- Carmella vs Charlotte Flair for the Smackdown Women's Championship

- Daniel Bryan vs Big Cass (this match is very likely going to change)

- New Day vs The Bar

- Asuka, Becky Lynch, and Naomi vs The IIconics and Lana

- Sin Cara vs Andrade "Cien" Almas (w/ Zelina Vega)

Night 2 (6/30):

- AJ Styles vs Shinsuke Nakamura vs Daniel Bryan vs Samoa Joe for the WWE Championship

- Carmella vs Asuka vs Charlotte Flair for the Smackdown Women's Championship

- Bludgeon Brothers vs The New Day vs Gallows and Anderson vs The Bar for the SD! Tag Titles

- The Usos vs Rusev Day

- Sin Cara vs The Miz

- Becky Lynch and Naomi vs The IIconics and Lana in a 2 on 3 handicap match.

It is worth noting that they have two points on there: One is card subject to change, and the other is basically the champions as of 5/25, and its subject to change.
