Hopefully that happens never. This is an actual x-ray of Regal's neck that he posted on his Twitter and Instagram a few weeks back as a warning
to young wrestlers to what might happen to them from botches, other mishaps, and just plain ol' overall wear and tear.
Apparently Tyson Kidd's most recent x-ray shows the same sort of thing from his accident. Not sure if Nikki Bella's in the same boat now
from the repetitive strain of the Rack Attack but it wouldn't be much of a surprise if she was. Same with Stone Cold, and Edge too, who should
have just released pics of their own x-rays to put a permanent stop to the silliness of fans thinking they were ever coming back for another match.
SHIT. I completely forgot about that x-ray. Nevermind.

Yeah as much as I don't detest Corbin, I'm not sure I'd trust someone that inexperienced to protect a neck like that to the degree
it needed...
I'm currently rewatching Zayne/Nakamura, it's still awesome.
Also: Nakamura's entrance music is pretty badass.

Wonder what Kurt Angle's neck looks like? Lita? Sabu? Taz? I'm not sure the x-rays would stop any rumors.
That said, I'm with you on not wanting Regal to keep going. He's done his part for the business in the ring, now he's doing his part
for the business outside of it.
Same. Regal's one of my all-time favorites, but he's given us enough in the ring.

Please give me Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Kota Ibushi.

Instead of watching the Hall Of Fame live I'm watching Zayn/Nakamura for the third time. I haven't rewatched a new match like this since
Punk beat Cena in Chicago at MiTB.
ETA:Okay, count Cesaro/Zayn I and II in there as well.
ETAA: watched Sami and Swag another four times. Twice with lapsed fans who were transfixed by Nakamura.

I would bet money that Joe-- the real Joe, not the character-- has had matches where he suffered MUCH worse, and was truly annoyed by the constant
babying.
Is everyone mad here?
Of course they are, and you are too... otherwise, you wouldn't have come here.

I AM a doctor and I say, screw it, let Joe bleed. Matter of fact, they should have cut the other eye for symmetry's sake.

Absolutely dig what Dyn-O-Mite is saying, but Joe bleeds for his team...
And a Dr. Van Helsing reference in 2016?!?! The world is still a fine place and worth fighting for. I agree with the second part.
Also, NXT was the tits. I wonder if that pic of Vince watching Shinshuggy Noogiemoogy on the monitors had him wondering just what in the fuck his
son-in-law was up to down in Orlando with all that wrasslin' shit.

A great show.
Nakamura had a great match. It's the 1st time Ive seen him in action and thought he might have been a little stiffer but I really enjoyed the
match. Crowd was fun.
Asuka and Bailey also had a great match. A few hiccups but nothing major.
Main event was hurt by the stoppages.
NXT has some fantastic music. Nakamura and Asukas themes are just so good.

BREAKING
NEWS: #SamoaJoe defeats @wwebalor to win the #WWENXT Championship in #NXTLowell
A photo posted by WWE (@wwe) on
Samoa Joe is your new NXT Champion at a House Show in Lowell, Mass.
Guess the Balor Club is coming for AJ Styles or Roman Reigns soon enough.
Know we're used to him being around now...but wow. Samoa Joe is a top-champion in WWE. Crazy.
Update: There's video now.
It's true! @SamoaJoe just won the @WWENXT Championship! #WWE pic.twitter.com/UgxSGeFUcH

Hmm...fantasy booking this out further...Balor Club vs. AJ...who eventually brings up...Nakamura...and someone else...for 3-on-3 wars? Should be a fun
special event week ahead.

What a crazy world we live in where Samoa Joe is a champion in WWE.
Also, what a completely anti-climatic way for Balor to lose the belt.
This is right up there with Eddie Edwards winning the title at a random NY ROH show against Roddy in the surprise title change mother fucker rankings.
Awesome.
Fuck yeah, Samoa Joe. Hopefully WWE actually knows how to book him like a champion, unlike some other company.

If it moves the schedule forward for 30,000 fans to be chanting "Joe's gonna kill you" at boooooo-Reigns within a year then I'm
happy.

Brooklyn, eh? Hmmmm, that could work. Very nicely.
My more immediately thought, though, is: Joe beat Human Balor, which creates a SERIOUS conundrum in terms of what to do about Demon Balor. Demon Balor
would be Finn's go-to in any NXT Title rematch. But Demon Balor remaining undefeated when showing up on the main roster has a lot to recommend
it, too. I could make the case for both sides.
On another note, they are apparently just culling TV from this weekend's shows (WWE used to tape RAW in Lowell all the time), with no Full Sail
tapings until a month from now. Anything to get NXT weekly TV back to a good place: they stopped taping fresh material in JANUARY, which got us to
Mania weekend (which was just too long of canned material), and then those two weeks of shows taped at Fan Fest were AWFUL. Worst. Fans. Ever.
Even American Alpha vs. Enzo/Cass more or less died. The fans may have given more to No Way Jose than anything else in the entire two episodes.
Nothing against No Way Jose, but c'mon.....

So, WWE is about to make Joe the star that TNA failed miserably to do ten years ago putting their company in a slow painful spiral of decline.
While we're at it, maybe a AMW/XXX battle.

Omega was part of the Bullet Club for all of 5 minutes before they rebranded themselves something else. I don't deny Omega would be a great
pickup, but it has zero to do with the Bullet Club. If anyone would complete the BC, it's the Bucks but if WWE isn't doing tag divisions,
they don't really fit since Gallows/Anderson are the better WWE-style tag team.

From Wikipedia:
Smith [Omega's real last name] has claimed that WWE has since approached him several times with a contract, including in the spring of 2014
and three times in 2015, but he has turned them all down.
So unless his Bullet Buddies can convince him that the E has changed significantly, it sounds like we'll never get to see what could be
incredibly awesome.

Aren't the Bucks sort of the same about going to WWE? In that they know they could do great there but simply aren't willing to put up with
the silliness and distortions of their characters that WWE Creative would do to them?
