I wonder what becomes of "Hulk Hogan" Curtis Axel, now. And even more concerned about "Macho Man" Sandow! The guy can't catch a break.

Why does WWE want Cena to face Rollins at Summerslam...
Cesaro has much more potential!

Well, I didn't make it through RAW. Holy cats, three hours is impossible.

Sasha Banks is such a rock-star. Glad she's going over because she is on a course to be the best diva ever.

Cena holding both the US and HWC belts is going to be amazing. I doubt he'll stop there, either. IC belt, Tag belts, Diva's belt ... Cena will be the first TRUE unified title holder. Sorry, Jericho.

I hate to admit it, but I felt some odd satisfaction when Rollins rolled on Cena's nose. I bet there has been more than 1 superstar who wish they did the same thing.

Has she been on T.V. in the last 3 years?

She was a part of one of the WWE's constant and stupid three-way romance angles, wasn't she?  Or am I imagining that?  There have been so many of them.  I can't remember her being in a match in forever, though.  Maybe she never really recovered from that knee injury.  A shame, as she was certainly above Bella level in the ring.

This was awesome, perhaps my favorite match of the G1 Climax tournament so far.  It's short, less than 15 minutes, but there was zero time being wasted, as both guys went right at each other.  I liked how both wrestlers, despite being "face" characters, seemed to really get annoyed with each other, which resulted in a lot of stiff kicks to the face and lots of one-upmanship.  I especially liked when Ibushi was kicking Shibata in the chest and Shibata started shaking his head as if it didn't hurt.  Shibata is just a natural at being a bad-ass.  

Katsuyori Shibata vs Kota Ibushi

Edit:  I swear, this website.  I can embed and watch the video in the composition window but not in the actual post.  How does that make sense?

'ROWDY' RODDY PIPER

DIES AT 61

From Cardiac Arrest

Wrestling legend "Rowdy" Roddy Piper has died at the age of 61 ... TMZ Sports has learned. 

Piper -- born Roderick George Toombs -- died from cardiac arrest in his sleep at his home in Hollywood on Thursday night. He was discovered on Friday. 

Piper was a wrestling icon -- one of the biggest stars in the WWE back in the '80s, and even wrestled in "Wrestlemania I" back in 1985 ... squaring off against Hulk Hogan and Mr. T. 

Roddy's rep tells us, "I am devastated at this news. Rod was a good friend as well as a client and one of the most generous, sincere and authentic people I have ever known. This is a true loss to us all."

Piper had been diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in 2006, but last November he said he was cancer free. A family source tells us he was "cancer free" at the time of his death.

A family member tells us, "Our family is saddened by the sudden passing of our father and beloved husband, Roderick Toombs aka Rowdy Roddy Piper." 

Roddy was admitted into the WWE Hall of Fame back in 2005 and was one of the top 50 villains in the history of the WWE.  

Piper had a long relationship with WWE -- last wrestling back in 2008 ... but appeared on various WWE shows up until 2014.  

Roddy is survived by his wife Kitty and their 4 kids -- including 3 daughters and son Colton who's pursuing a career in professional wrestling. 

The death is especially shocking considering we just spoke to him on Friday and asked his opinion about the Hulk Hogan scandal.

Michael Elgin vs. Tomoaki Honma 8-1-15 G1 Climax

This was a really fun, really enjoyable match.  Elgin's power spots are super over in Japan and Honma is always over.  There is no audience that does not love Honma and with good reason, as he makes wrestling entertaining.  I swear to god, Honma could make a Sheamus match over.

Kazuchika Okada vs Hirooki Goto G1 Climax

Matches like this are what make the G1 so damn awesome.  This is the IC Champ against the World Heavyweight Champ in a tournament match.
