It's a piece of JUNK!
Since the Cody Rhodes beatdown has been severely shortened on the YouTube version of Smackdown (cuts off at the ring ropes DDT), here it is again for anyone who wants to watch or re-watch it.

If you look carefully right after he gets hit with the bell, for a split second you see a HUGE torrent of blood pouring right out of his head onto the table. :gonk: The replay gives you another angle.

As far as I can tell the wound must have come directly from the bell hit, nothing else. (Not that they do blading anymore, as far as we know.)

How is Orton a face??? He's a sociopathic bully who attacks others at the drop of a hat. The booking in WWE is so hosed up right now.

Hogan - Whines about his loses, frequent user of rakes to the eyes and back
Austin - An alcoholic hillbilly, prone to sociopathic episodes
Michaels - A male stripper (or in the later years "an old man who thinks he's a male stripper")
Rock - A verbally abusive bully
Cena - A white rapper who's been known to drop gay and fat jokes

WWE face booking has always been hosed up.

Yeah I guess you've got a good point. It's just that it all seems so insane when they're pimping their anti-bullying initiate every week while their biggest bullies are Cena and Orton.

In 1985 Dr. Strange makes a rap album.
So on 6/25 Minoru Suzuku produced a charity show called Piledriver Charity Project Count 2.9. Here's the main event...

MEIKO SATOMURA & MINORU SUZUKI VS. AYUMI KURIHARA & YOSHIHIRO TAKAYAMA
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U8J2stVFKr4

It's a really fun match. MiSu's constant dickery towards Ayumi owns and that first moment when Takayama and Meiko are circling I got the biggest loving grin on my face.

The only main event face character who wasn't a bad human being was Bret. Even when he turned heel, it was more because the whole WWF was falling apart from his viewpoint.

In an old Raw thread, someone referred to Ezekiel Jackson as the Sand Rippa and I still laugh about it.

Nah, when Bret turned heel he went full heel. He forced people to listen to the Canadian National Anthem and when the Patriot wanted to do Star Spangled Banner, Bret interrupted and kicked his rear end. He also locked everyone in the Ringpost Figure Four, still the most awesome wrestling move of all time. It was just a bit more difficult to hate Bret because he was in a wheelchair and played a babyface everywhere outside of America. So it seemed like rationalization. But yeah, when Bret actually turned he became a straight up rulebreaker.

Everyone around him became immoral so his actions were justified to him since he was taking care of a threat. :v:

If the opponent has a knee on the ground you can not knee him in the head.
