Maaaaaybe Batwosta, and he can have "Ba2sta" on his trunks.
But definitely not Batistwo. That would just be dumb.
New guy should be Lance Batista, Dave's Canadian cousin. Facially he looks almost exactly like Lance Storm with a beard.
Originally posted by Dr Unlikely I'll hold out hope that post-sex Bryan becomes evil, as per media precedent, and he becomes the evil tie-choking, face-spitting Daniel Bryan once more.
Sadly, he'll more likely play out the other media precedent and get killed by a "monster" almost immediately afterward.

Originally posted by JustinShapiroActually if the Bellas have mistaken being a virgin for being a vegan I take it all back. All of it.
That would pretty much be the best possible payoff, but I think we know by now there's nobody in the company who would come up with that, sadly. I'll hold out hope that post-sex Bryan becomes evil, as per media precedent, and he becomes the evil tie-choking, face-spitting Daniel Bryan once more.
@IAmJericho Interesting to see the debut of Batistwo tonight on Raw...
I think Ryan looks facially more like NXT4's Johnny Curtis...
And are you suggesting Daniel Bryan will become Angelus after he is bedded by a Bella?

Originally posted by dwatersSo are we to believe that CM Punk carries a bunch of spare armbands in his boot for impromptu Nexus recruitments?
Presumably, his "faith" that he talked of in backstage segments was knowing that Mason Ryan would interfere at some point, and then he would officially make him a member of Nexus.

!!
I did not know of this Jeriquote before passing judgment on the potential of Batistwo. Somebody should try to sell him on the inherent superiority of Fauxtista and/or Ba2sta. I'm confident that I'm right in ranking them thusly.

I don't think we're supposed to believe it was at all impromptu, just that Punk really likes to be dramatic when doing his mystical cult ceremonies.
But yeah, I actually do like the idea that Punk carries around a bunch of them tucked into his boots/knee pads. He probably has his mask tucked into the other boot, just in case. It reminds me of how we had to assume that Austin probably used to drive around with disguise kits in his car in case he wanted to sneak up on Vince on a particular night. I like my professional wrestlers to be prepared.

Also tucked inside Punk's boots and pads: - emergency Diet Pepsi - homemade "Best of Scotty Goldman" dvd - a wallet size photo of Punk and Luke Gallows from happier times - post-it note with "find out which Steak 'n' Shake Percy Watson is working at these days" scribbled on it - nWo shirt, size XXL, just in case - Cell phone that only Samoa Joe has the number to, just in case Joe decides he's had enough of TNA and wants to take over the Husky Harris spot in TheNewNexus

Yes! Daniel Bryan was cursed by gypsies and given a soul after he choked Justin Roberts. If he experiences a moment of true happiness, he will lose that soul. But true happiness is actually a threesome with the Bellas.
I like to think of the Austin/Vince relationship being like Bam Margera/Bam Margera's Dad. Austin randomly bursting into Vince's toilet while Vince has his pants down and slapping him repeatedly, while Vince yells "OH C'MON STEVE, DAMNIT, WHAT'RE DOING AWWW STEVE"
Originally posted by John OrquiolaI gave it a few weeks to see how it would shake out, but I hate the new Nexus. Wade took all the talent with him to Smackdown. On RAW, Punk has a bunch of turds calling themselves Nexus.
The Nexus concept was young NXT guys who felt abused by WWE and become an anarchic force within WWE who could do whatever they pleased to whomever they pleased while creating fear and chaos. That's long gone now. Punk's Nexus is a cult; and Cole and King have made sure that's gotten across. It's basically a rehash of the Straight Edge Society. It's not Nexus at all. I think it sucks.
Yeah, at this point I'm not sure why they just didn't send all of Nexus to Smackdown with Barrett and let Punk do the Punk thing with Mason Ryan. My guess is still that they'll all end up together as part of some show-spanning conspiracy. But his side is still shit.

I think they're like Stephen Colbert Wrist Strong bracelets. You're supposed to pass them onto anyone you meet who's greener than you are.

Another thing that sucks about Nexus II is Otunga. In a word - Starscream - is gone. The ONLY good and funny thing about David Otunga was his conspiring against Wade. Well, Wade's gone. Now what is he? He's the one who "made the decision" to give the Nexus to Punk. Why the hell did he do that? What does he get out of it? Why is he content to be in Punk's cult? He's right back fighting John Cena, where he's been since June 2010. There's no upward mobility for him in Punk's Nexcult. He's just a follower. Not even a funny one, at that.
Nexus II vs. Cena II is made even more pointless by the clear seed planted that Miz and Cena will main event WrestleMania. This is all just filler, and it was better the first time around.

Mark Henry better do some damage in this years Rumble, or at least take a guy or two with him when they do the 'gang up on the fat guy in the corner' spot.
If Daniel Bryan snaps Kelly Kelly's neck, I will be all for the turn. I consider him more of a Xander character anyway. I guess he could stop the Dark Brie Saga. The show has been missing a good Spike character since Jericho left. Sadly, there is no girl as hot as my Alyson on that roster.
As for the show, it was ok even though Cena pointing out everyone, but Morrison should have beaten Miz, didn't raise either man's value. Also not a fan of Dolph taking that pin either. It was mostly filler much like next week til we get passed the Rumble. The Monday after the Rumble things seem to get good again. They still haven't sold me on the 40 man Rumble being more epic, more like more meh.
Originally posted by Matt TrackerWhat was the move Punk applied after the WMD? He threw his legs up and around Cena's head while clasping his hands around Cena's neck. That's not the Anaconda Vice, but it was AWESOME.
That would be the Koji Clutch!
Yet another move he stole (this time from Christopher Daniels) and will try to pass off as his own.
My side is the side of love, peace and submachine guns.

Yeah, because obviously Christopher Daniels' name is really Koji Kanemoto. I sense some frustration here. You do know that most wrestlers take the moves from others, and then use it to make it their own? I actually liked that he stole a move like that, instead of a move we see more often.
And I agree that the Bateman/Mark Henry thing was bad. His comedic power lies in him being "himself" and not being aware of the idiocy. Now he was just an actor. Henry's voice over was funnier. I recall something about not being allowed within 50 feet of a rhino when you use the sweat.

As someone who is currently in the middle of watching season 3 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer with his wife I have to say these are some of my favorite posts ever.
I saw this Mason Ryan in a dark match in Phoenix a couple of weeks ago. He got a win over Primo in a pretty decent match -- I was reasonably pleased with his work, & liked his look. There were a lot of spontaneous "Batista" comments from the crowd, & he does bear some resemblance. To my eye, he's shorter than Batista, & has a "denser" style of musculature, but is quite pleasant to look at. :-) They introduced him as from Cardiff, Wales, so maybe they're going for the full UK quadumvirate. He didn't promo, so no hints whether that'll go well or not.
Aren't y'all supposed to think that conquest-fucking by twins is even more awesomely hot? This will bode either very, very well or very, very badly for young Derrick Bateman.
You've got to give Bateman credit: He worked with the lame "joke" commercial material as best as he possibly could. Let's try to think of it as an alternative style of initiation.
Punk's locker room speech to the boys was uncharacteristically bad for him. Perhaps a calibration consultation with either Spanky or Raven ...
