Not sure how many of you, if any at all watch Puroresu (Japanese Wrestling) but I just watched this match and I really recommend it you watch it. It's a semi-squash match with a surprising ending between Prince Devitt and Davey Richards (current Ring Of Honor World Champion), Richards plays the heel here in Japan however in the US he's a face.
Personally I love these types of matches, Richards is always intense and his kicks are awesome:

Regarding the online rumor of Rob Van Dam returning to WWE, Power Slam confirms in their latest issue that RVD is seriously considering returning to the organization once his contract with TNA Wrestling expires. The magazine adds that the feeling is mutual as people in WWE want the master of the Five-Star Frog Splash back.

"RVD from what we're told would receive a warm welcome in WWE," the magazine says.

This magazine is so misinformed. I think most of us remember RVD ripping the WWE apart when we he left. Vince was pissed. No way WWE would take him back. Heck he wouldn't even pass the drug test.

- CM Punk was hurting when he returned backstage after the match against Dolph Ziggler at Monday's RAW Supershow in Memphis. Punk is said to be banged up but there is on talk of him taking time off. Punk was shaken up after taking the bad slam from Ziggler in the match.

Oh hells no. If this true then ZIGGLER should get the title and fued with someone other than Cena. Knowing WWE tho Ziggler will get title for a day or a week then Cena will get it. Or if we suddenly see a three way Punk Cena Ziggler pop up we know it is Cena.

Road Dogg ripped apart Triple H, saying he'd beat him up next time he saw him. Road Dogg currently works for WWE.
Booker T also talked negatively about Triple H and WWE when he left in 2007, didn't stop WWE from resigning him.

Brock Lesnar has been talking shit about WWE all through 2011, wouldn't stop WWE from signing him the moment they get the chance.
Steve Austin has publicly critized WWE in the past (multiple times) yet he's been back in WWE numerous times.
Bret Hart didn't have a good thing to say about WWE from 1997 towards 2006, and still after that, yet he returned in 2010 anyway.

My point is, WWE (Vince) don't hold grudges to anyone, especially if there is money to be made. I think Power Slam is right when it says WWE would welcome RVD back with open arms, though they shouldn't. RVD is way past his prime and his entire TNA stint was dull and boring.

Japanese wrestling is awsome, the none hardcore part of it and the matches are so amazing and long and so put together... The WWE should take idea's from japanese wrestling

Good points. Agree tho RVD is really done.

[claud3]

its true the WWE never hold a grudge, thats not entirely true

They do with closed lips and biting their tongues. But they do let the ones that really let them have it back for the money making part of it alone and nothing else

[LastManDancing]

Ziggler will be a WWE or WHC champ this year. the guy is freakin awesome.

This.

Jericho is awesome.

Orton hasn't put anyone over until after his feud with Christian, since then he has helped put over Cody Rhodes, make Mark Henry look like a legit champ, and now Wade Barrett so I approve of Randy Orton.

[yourmumsface17]

Yeah I think Orton wants to put people over now, fair play to him.

[XMW]

Orton is in the stage of his career where a loss really doesn't hurt his character anymore, just like John Cena (though for some reason Cena still usually wins which really isn't needed all the time

Yeah, it is awesome. But tbh I really like the hardcore stuff too, Big Japan Pro Wrestling is a company specialised in deathmatch wrestling like CZW used to be in 1999 and 2000. Though the regular hard-hitting Puroresu matches are definitely awesome, especially if the matches consists of Gaijin's who are used to the Puro style like Davey Richards.

Yes i agree japanese hardcore is awsome, but far more controlled than CZW's make of it, they are just stupid wrestlers with no respect from me what so ever

Hm, I think CZW is awesome. They're my #2 favorite Indy promotion right behind ROH. They have seriously toned down on their hardcore matches. Usually they have 1/2 out of 7/8 matches as hardcore matches. I recommend watching Cage Of Death 6 or 7. The main event is a bloody Cage Of Death match, but the rest of the card features some of the best independent wrestlers around.

[claud3]

i watched all the gage of death matches and liked one out of all of them and that was 6... But i feel i am a middle man when it comes to the wrestling scene, Its more normal WWE wrestling and less hardcore wrestling

Ok, fair enough. You've actually watched more Cage Of Death matches then me, as I've only seen 6/7/10/12/13.

Here's another fantastic match, one of the best matches Ive seen in 2011. It's from the Dragon Gate promotion, I'm not sure if I had posted this match already or not. It's between Ricochet (he wrestles in Dragon Gate/DGUSA, EVOLVE, IWA East Coast and local indy's) and PAC (a British wrestler who is just amazing)

Epico and Hunico confuse the shit out of me lol

Also LOL Henry on Smackdown. That was good stuff.

[claud3]

bryant is really loving the fact he got one over both the large wrestlers, being Henry and Bigshow. But it will come and bite him hard the next time around. He has to face either one or both at the same time

[Yuuichi]

He will prob turn heel and not big show. Got to set it up so if orton comes back in time he will face a heel at wm for title.

[claud3]

byrant and orton at WM sounds like the match i would love to see. Not knowing the out come of a near balanced WM match

That is a match to watch for any money

Did the ref fuck up CM Punks match? This fued with Kane and Cena is fucking stupid, its going to lead to nothing in the end.

Looks like the ref did mess up. Everyone was surprised. That was a big kistake. Just got to check updates and see what happens. same with wtf brodus clay.

[XMW]

Ok, not the Brodus Clay I expected, but he was fun nontheless, for one he actually has a gimmick unlike 70% of the roster.

As for Punk's match I'm not sure. If it was a botch Michael Cole did a great job of covering it up. However, this could easily play into the Ziggler vs Punk story at the RR. Since Johnny Ace was at ringside he saw with his own eyes that Swagger kicked out (thus allowing Swagger/Vickie to be at ringside at the RR), yet the referee's decision was that Swagger was pinned. Johnny can easily reverse the decision, it shouldn't be hard for him to reverse a ref's decision (altough Matt Striker came up with some BS story on NXT, on how you have to file for an unrightfull decision which has to be approved by attorneys etc.. That's why Striker needs to GTFO of the announcing booth).
