How long has he been back?  ???

Last time I sall him was at some odd promotion 1 time thing in Tampa.

Damn did he look good. Not like he'll get a midcard title push though. Thats like hoping for Tuesday Night Heat to become ECW again.

Its fake in chokeslams and stuff like that.  Let me point it out.  They throw themselves, plus the ring is as soft as a trampoline, the ables are rotten or soft wood(my cousin works in special affects, says thats what they order)  Who knows more, my cousin who is purchased by them, or you?

Look, I know that apparently this guy has been banned already, and that maybe this is beating a dead horse, but as one of I think 2 actual professional wrestlers in the MUGEN community, I absolutely must reply to this. First things first, believe me when I tell you that the ring is nowhere near as soft as a trampoline. As someone who has his fair share of experience in setting up wrestling rings, let me tell you exactly what a wrestling ring is made out of.

-Metal, often STEEL posts in the corners
-The ring ropes are actual steel cables that have anywhere from a quarter-inch to an inch worth of protection, so if you hit these wrong they HURT, and will leave bruises.
-A steel frame that holds the ring together.
-A wood surface, either four large sections, or in the case of my home promotion, long wood planks close to 2 inches thick that rest on the frame.
-About an inch (if that) of foam or some other slight padding between the wooden surface and the ring canvas.

That is not a lot of room for give. The ring is constructed in a way that there is give, but it still hurts every time you bump. It's just that frame allows for the impact to be absorbed (in conjunction with how you land), so that you don't get your breath knocked away like you would if you landed back-first on the hard ground. Even then, you sometimes do get your breath knocked away, but usually when that happens you've done something wrong.

Second, we in the business who are a little less restrictive when it comes to kayfabe prefer the term "predetermined," over the word "fake." Yes, we know who is going to win. Yes, we know what we're going to do (usually), but every bump hurts, ever punch hits (if it doesn't then they're a bad worker or are working too "light," a problem I had at first), ever chop is a BITCH (chops are the bane of my wrestling existence, I hate them so much that I never even chop other people because I know how much it sucks). Wrestling can be compared to stuntwork, but it takes more showmanship and more personality (in exchange for it being less dangerous and requiring less precision). People get hurt all the time. I just returned to 100% from a shoulder injury myself.

So, in conclusion, wrestling's not fake. I don't mean to be an attention whore, but if anyone ever wants to know anything about wrestling, ask. I'm pretty open about it. I generally don't like to kayfabe (though their are a LOT of indy guys who do so to "protect" the business, but it actually just makes it look worse by continuing to insult the intelligence of fans).

Also, Summerslam was decent in my opinion, but unfortunately for me I am one of about 8 people who were actually excited for Matt Hardy's ECW title match (and I pretty much bought the PPV for it), and we see how that turned out. I'm kind of scorned right now, so I may not buy another WWE PPV until the Rumble.

yeah, that gif is the only good thing to come out of the mh vs mh match

i'm really looking forward to unforgiven because the main events are going to be the biggest clusterfucks in recent history

here you've got cm punk fighting against three established main eventers and kane (upper midcarder). if punk loses he won't look that bad because come on he's fighting four other guys and doesn't have to be pinned to lose it. if he does win, it won't make the other guys look that bad and it will definitely put punk in the main event scene, but i really doubt he's retaining this time.
i wish jericho was in this one, though. he beat punk on raw but isn't in this match? i guess this means he'll have another match with michaels

and here you've got triple h defending against a set of midcarders. i'd like to see mvp or jeff win here, but it might be too soon to pull the championship trigger on them yet, so hhh is probably retaining. i definitely see mvp as a main eventer in the future, and jeff provided he doesn't fuck up AGAIN. i don't really imagine shelton or THE BRIAN KENDRICK picking up the win here, but who knows.

i wonder if they'll do an ecw championship scramble too. mark, matt, morrison, miz... chavo? evan?

I'd guess Mark, Matt, Morrizon, Miz, and Dreamer. If Chavo was in there that'd be 4 heels to one face.
