EXCEPT FOR THE ONE THAT STABBED HIROSHI TANAHASHI KEVIN KELLY! HAVE YOU HEARD THE STORY ABOUT HOW A WOMAN STABBED HIROSHI TANAHASHI? IF NOT LET ME TELL YOU THAT HE WAS STABBED!

Apparently he was married well before this, so Maria never had a shot at that crown.

The great part is that wasn't even technically the end of that counter, because the both lifted Okada up, turned him around on their shoulders, and then dropped him head first onto their knees.

Worst goon in the universe.

I know PSP REALLY likes Okada, but this is the only time I have ever seen the Rainmaker that actually looks like a finisher. Elgin's a big man for that kind of bump and it works out so very well for the move.

E: holy hell, I fail at grammar.

Not to say he hasn't hit some weak-looking ones, but Karl Anderson sells it pretty similar to that most every time. The one he hit on Tanahashi when he first won the IWGP belt looked like death, too.

He wouldn't change up his style in the ring and they felt he didn't show any improvements so they cut him.

I'll be honest, I think the fact that Bo is a slightly out of shape guy fits his character more but I fully expect them to tell him to bulk up/trim the fat.

Oh totally. That and the fact that his face is almost as off-putting as Summer Rae's makes his gimmick that much better.

Triple H is engaged in a long-game strategy to reform The Kings of Wrestling, teaming with Cesaro and replacing Hero with himself so he can be called The King of Kings of Wrestling.

Yeah, he's also a lot older than Bo I think, which adds a ticking clock to the equation.
