Women's World Tag Team Championship Tournament Finals: Chigusa Nagayo and Meiko Satomura vs. Aja Kong and Devil Masami Women's World Championship: Melissa Anderson vs. Manami Toyota {©} Kyoko Inoue vs. Akira Hokuto Nattie Neidhart vs. Takako Inoue Toshiyo Yamada vs. Sonoko Kato Alexis Laree and Allison Corino vs. Daffney and LuFisto Momoe Nakanishi vs. Shinobu Kandori What will be match of the night? I'm going with Toyota vs. Melissa What is Eric Bischoff's 'surprise' for Etsuko Mita? He talked Arn Anderson into rewarding her with a title match General diary comments/questions/critiques: Like others I'm not even fully aware of how to even pronounce the title of the show lol.

Honestly the mod was made before the movie star feature and MMA things were put in place. When WWE was the only real game in town it was easy for Rocky to leave because he knows WWE would always be there to go back to. Now if they still had a WCW kicking their but all the time Rocky would most likely be more willing to hang around and just film the occasional movie once in a while. I say he would feel guilty and not want to full on abandon them in their biggest time of need because of roots and stuff. I say it would be more realistic to just tick the movie star box.

<p>Will, Ship, Bison you guys are fantastic for the work you are doing</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="200.gif" data-src="https://media.giphy.com/media/111ebonMs90YLu/200.gif" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

One thing you might consider is starting regional dev companies in all the countries that you want to expand to and start rotating your roster down to work in those countries. This will dramatically raise the rate at which they learn the languages. Have guys who are "ready in wildside" start doing 5 month "tours" in these different companies and you will be surprised how much it will help you.</p><p> </p><p> I know it seems a bit gamey but it can really help you mold a diverse roster and it helps get your new blood over in those areas while expanding your roster's capability of doing promos anywhere. Also *if* you decide to start a WCW network you can throw all these territorial promotions on the network and get your dev guys over before you even use them.</p>

IMO Tristan Thompson should have been on the trading block as well. I heard rumors they were looking to bring in DeAndre Jordan and that would have been a game changing trade for them.</p>

Did anyone else just see what the Cavs are doing on the cusp of trade deadline?? A complete restructuring is the answer.... Wow I never seen a mid season shake up like that? Some of these moves are head scratchers.

But I have to say from a bookers standpoint I really like his style.</p><p> </p><p> Is it a bit dark of me to wait to watch RAW when I'm confident Vince doesn't have his hand in the cookie jar anymore? The only downside I see to HHH taking full control as a CM Punk return would grow more unlikely.</p>

Well I seem to have went with too many "safe" predictions this month and Bret made me pay lol. I'm so glad Dustin had gotten the nod as he has been a true darling in this dynasty.

Wow I just poked my head in to see how this mod is doing and it looks fantastic!!!!! I love the new background choice (I know its been way too long if that is my first observation) but this looks sick! I can't wait to play this.

People still popped for them after the shoddy booking. I like Bailey (and I agree, those initial pops were awesome), but it needs to get tweaked or overhauled...last year's Extreme Rules was the time - have her go crazy on Alexa Bliss and shed the goody goody image. You can then have her be conflicted over it, and return to it on occasion. I don't know, something!</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Honestly if she is booked bubbly backstage and all business in the ring the gimmick works just fine. Bad booking can really kill characters. If someone is getting duped over all the time then they need to still win big matches when the odds are finally even for the crowd to effectively get behind them. The reason Sting worked getting dumped on by his friends all those times is because he can still win the big one when it was an even playing field.</p><p> </p><p> And for the record she got killed in the ring for 3+ years on NXT before she ever started getting victories. I don't think Vince knows what momentum is (points to his push of Jinder Mahal) but I think she definitely needs slowly built back up. If she starts off with some "fluke" wins and eventually all out wrestling match wins "when the playing field is even" could go a long way. I think Bayley being the only person to slay the dragon that is Ronda Rousey is a redemption story that can make money.</p>

I think I'd have it be the title match they alluded to, have her slap an arm bar on in the first minute. It'd look like Charlotte was about to tap when she'd reach the rope and force the hold to be broken, highlighting the difference in rules between WWE and UFC (i.e. "that's not going to work here"). Then I'd either have her slap it on again and win a minute or two later, or have a fairly even match with one of the other girls that did MMA interfere to get the spotlight, which would allow Rousey to stay strong, but lose and wouldn't necessarily make Charlotte turn heel.</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> I like the story you are telling there but personally I don't think Deville is ready for that big of story. I say her and Charolette go about 7 minutes and Rousey will go over. Have Rousey squash people in matches less than 8 minutes for a few months and have someone like Bailey be an extreme underdog get a roll up on her at Summerslam.</p><p> </p><p> Bailey and Rousey actually go about 15 minutes in the next match up but Bailey beats her clean to end Rousey's run. There Vince handed that to you on a platter and the end result is Bailey is selling more merch to little girls than ever before. Rousey lost to one of the best workers on the roster which is incredibly respectable.</p>

I loved the Fatu swerve you threw in there! I'm kicking myself not putting Eddie as the winner but I thought you would keep him away from Rey for a little while. I thought you would have had him debut early and soldier on for a long time. But the way you wrote that was a way better outcome then what I thought you were doing. Eddie always had a really smooth in ring style so that song is a good choice for him. I'm just glad the leader of the LWO has returned home!
