Great fucking matches! Both better than just about anything else in a WWE ring in quite a while. The only complaint I have about either match is that I wanted Mr. Small Package to win the title with his namesake, but it was probably better for Bryan to get the strong win leading to the subsequent screwjob.

Those two matches saved christmas. And Summerslam too. Hard to say which one was better, but fuck. Great chat too!

Lol @ Sin Cara's botches becoming a gimmick.

RAW was fantastic last night. Punk/Heyman/Axel, Punk/fat fan, triple dose of the Shield, Cena taking time off, Bryan officially becoming "THE" guy (& verbally bitch slappin' Stephanie to open the show). Great stuff! I really like what they've done with the McMahons & HHH. I was scared it was all leading to feud between Vince & HHH... thank god that turned out not to be the case. The only low points for me were Bray vs Truth (geez they fudged that finish up baaaaaad) & Fandango. Lol @ Sin Cara's botches becoming a gimmick. That was just unfortunate. Freak injury, even for Sin Cara.

I don't blame Del Rio for being as pissed as he obviously was. The guy's out there working with a broken face and his opponent quits on the match just because his little finger hurts.

Can't fault a guy for panicking when he gets injured. Not everybody can suck it up & work through the pain.

Actually I felt bad after I found out it was a real injury. I've been out with a broken thumb and it's a bitch. Not very painful but definitely bothersome. I honestly thought they were making it LOOK like he was injured to give Alberto some heat.
I like what they're doing with Bryan, if there's someone deserving of that spot, it's him.
I liked RAW overall. The Shield matches were cool, but I hope Seth is alright, haven't read up on that.

Well on the Sin Cara/Del Rio deal, some people are saying Del Rio stiffed him with a kick. The opening kick Del Rio throws is what they're claiming caused it and while it looks real it might just be people creating drama where there isn't any. Here's the video if you guys want to rewatch it, he definitely buckles at the kick, but it's probably just selling.

It was supposedly the landing after the tope. Del Rio stiffed him AFTER the match, because he was pissed.

The NXT was this week with the much heralded Cesaro vs Zayn match. I saw it and thought it was a good match, that finish was out of this world though. For anyone that wants to watch it: watchwrestling.net/watch-wwe-nxt-82113/

Yeah, I watched the match on youtube. Nice little match, but a match of the year candidate it is not. The ending is indeed spectacular, though. A botched spot is turned into one of the more impressive feats of strength I've ever seen in a wrestling ring.
On a side note, am I the only one who thinks that Generico somehow looks smaller without the mask on? It's weird.
Also, Alex Riley sucks on commentary. How many times can he mention his feud with The Miz in one match?

Lol @ Riley for sure. It's annoying how he tries his damndest to remind us how he once was a wrestler.
Generico vs. Cesaro was the fucking bomb. Those two are awesome, and they mentioned it was a WWE TV MOTYC. Top 5 for me.
Ending was wicked, and seeing Zayn fling out his old signatures was amazing.

How many times can he mention his feud with The Miz in one match? I agree, not MOTY (what with the likes of Bryan/Cesaro, Punk/Lesnar, & Bryan/Cena still fresh in our minds), but still great. And that finish... WOW! Best botch recovery ever! Generico looks the same size to me. Alex Riley sucks, period.

Yeah, Generico looks pretty much the same sans mask except with a lot more baby oil. I do agree that it was not a MOTYC but that's more of a testament to the level of matches we've had this year. Punk/Cena is being heavily overshadowed by some of the matches we've seen in the past few weeks, and that was probably one of the best matches in RAW history.

Everyone needs to watch the main event from Smackdown last night. Bryan/Barrett Steel Cage. It was great.
