Just caught the ROH on HDNET show from Monday, and Tyler Black vs. Christopher Daniels was a pretty good match. 20 minute draw with a slow build, and some really solid spots. The reversed Pele kick into a submission by Daniels in particular was really well done.

So for those into Chikara, I'm looking to get back into it but havent really seen it since Anniversario Yin/Yang. So I haven't seen any of the BDK storyline at all, where is a good point to start back up and where does the BDK storyline start?

The seeds of the BDK storyline were actually sown way back in 2007, but members of the faction itself didn't start making appearances until around August 2009 - the first show where the faction leaders unmask and the BDK forms was the season 8 finale 'Three Fisted Tales' from November 2009 and that's probably the best place to jump in.

I have no idea what any of this means, but it sound awesome!!!

Thanks, much appreciated. Also meant to say for a while thanks for posting up youtube links to all sorts of matches. Is cool to get to see a variety of different stuff.

Chikara is a really fun promotion, totally worth checking out. They are probably the best at having consistent storylines that make sense. Like Bootaay said storylines grow out of other ones organically and relate to things that happened years ago so its not just start stop fueds like pretty much everyone else does. Also they aren't trying to be like anyone else they make for a great alternative to mainstream wrestling.
 
Summerfest predictions!

Ziggler defeats Kofi to retain IC title. Because a two week title run is stupid. And Kofi should be on to bigger and better things now.

SES will defeat Big Show. I mean can a team with Punk on it really lose 3 on 1? Wouldn't that be the ultimate squash?

Kane defeats Rey Rey to retain World Title. Kane will attempt to throw Mysterio in a casket after the match, but when he opens it, UT is in there, he pops out and choke slams both of them. I'm completely convinced this will happen.

Sheamus defeats Randy Orton to retain WWE title. I'd hope he gets somewhat of a long title run here, even though Orton is crazy over and maybe should have the belt. I see Sheamus keeping it here and maybe starting a new feud with someone interesting. Orton doesn't have anyone to feud with right now anyway, except for the Miz. But if Miz feuded with the champion, what would be the point of MITB?

I will take a pee/snack break during all women's matches. It's all they're good for.

Nexus defeats the Super Friends. They need to keep Nexus going, it's the best storyline they have right now. I don't know who the 7th guy will be, but I'm thinking either the Miz (who may screw it up somehow for Cena's team) or Evan Bourne (yawn).

For me Bret Hart is the leader in the clubhouse for the heel turn. No way Cena turns on the team. It's either gonna be Hart, or HHH will come out and prove to be behind Nexus.

Anyway, I think it will be a pretty good PPV.

Kofi defeats Mr.Boring

SES defeats Big Show with upto 2 new SES members causing the distraction

Kane defeats Rey

Sheamus defeats Randy Orton

Miz cashes in MITB against Sheamus loses then gets a Brog kick followed by a RKO.

Raw General Manager announces a US title defense of Miz versus Evan Bourne, Bourne runs out hits Air Bourne and wins.

Womens match who cares.

NEXUS wins, by Bret Hart running out back to take out Ortunga, Ref down Cena and Wade Barett left JR runs in gives a stunner to Cena and Wade gets the pinfall.
 
Here are my Summerfest predictions.

Team WWE vs. The Nexus (Elimination Tag Team Match)
Winner: The Nexus. Really digging this feud. I'm hoping something big happens tonight.

WWE Champion Sheamus vs. Randy Orton
Winner: Lobster Head. As much as I want Orton to win, I doubt they'll take the belt off Sheamus.

World Heavyweight Champion Kane vs. Rey Mysterio
Winner: Kane. Keep the belt far away from Rey Rey.

Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler vs. Kofi Kingston
Winner: Mr. Ziggles. If Ziggler loses the belt tonight I'll be very surprised/mad.

Big Show vs. The Straight Edge Society (3-on-1 Handicap Match)
Winner: S.E.S. It's 3-on-1, Come on.

Divas Champion Alicia Fox vs. Melina
Winner: Melina. I hate Alicia Fox's forehead and everything else about her. Minus her voice.

JR being behind Nexus would be awesome and a great swerve on the internet folks.

I think Kofi will lose again and flip out again going heelish.

Hopefully Show will join SES since he is already bald and all, if not who knows.
SES should win but ...

(what should happen) Kane will defeat Rey (what will happen) Taker will appear in some form or another and enable Rey to win.

Sheamus should retain, at least I hope so. I like Orton but he doesn't need the title right now.

Miz will fake a cash in and get RKO'd and hopefully the Brog kick.

Nexus should win, a heel turn would be nice. Bryan Danielson would be even better.

I'd like to see Miz get another botched/interrupted run-in on Sheamus. I don't want him to lose it. I thought WWE scheduled a PPV exactly one year from the MITB PPV so we could get a year of Miz run-ins and psychological warfare. He's better on the mic than in the ring, so having him stalk the champ(s) over a year could be quite entertaining.

If he cashes in and loses tonight, I'm gonna throw a bitchfit.

I also want to see Dolph and Kane win their matches. Kofi is over enough that he doesn't need the win. Dolph needs to get a clean pin too. PEACE.

What a weak card. Look at last year's card, which was probably the best PPV the WWE did last year:

IC title: Mysterio vs. Ziggler. A great match with a bad outcome.
MVP vs. Swagger. They had a solid feud and both had momentum going into the PPV. Now neither of them have a match.
Unified Tag Team Championship: Jerishow vs. Cryme Tyme. This was really the start of Jerishow's dominance, which turned out to be the most memorable tag team in a long time.
Kane vs. Great Khali. Ok, this was the worst match, but who would've thought one of these guys would be world champ in a year?
DX vs. Legacy. A fun match, plus the tank entrance was awesome.
ECW title: Christian vs. Regal. Ok, this match ended almost immediately, but it will probably be better than a lot of tonight's matches.
WWE title: Orton vs. Cena. This was a really fun match with a crazy ending that really set up their feud for the next few months. It wasn't a technical marvel, but it was more entertaining than I thought it would be.
World Heavyweight Championship: Hardy vs. CM Punk. Punk/Hardy was the best WWE feud of last year, and this was an awesome and brutal match. At the end we all marked out at Taker coming back (which turned out to be not so great to say the least).

Now for this year's card...


Intercontinental Championship: Kofi Kingston vs. Dolph Ziggler: Ziggler finally won the title, but in the most anticlimactic way possible. If they wanted to put the belt on him, they should have waited a few weeks and had him do it here at a huge PPV. But whatever.
Winner: Ziggler

Divas Championship: Melina vs. Alicia Fox: I always hate it when someone comes back from an injury and immediately wins the title, but I assume this will happen.
Winner: Melina

Big Show vs. SES: If the SES can't beat Big Show, they might as well just end the once exciting stable immediately. I will laugh if Joey Mercury gets the pin though.
Winner: SES

World Heavyweight Championship: Rey Mysterio vs. Kane: Does Taker come back now and screw Kane out of the title, or does he keep it and merely gets chokeslammed after the match? I guess the incoming Kane vs. Taker feud doesn't need the title, but who would Mysterio feud with?
Winner: Kane

WWE Championship: Randy Orton vs. Sheamus: I think Orton really needs the title soon to build up his reputation as ultimate babyface and someone who could rival Cena's popularity. Orton hasn't won a PPV match since Wrestlemania, so now is the time to make amends.
Winner: Orton

Team Jericho vs. Nexus: There's really no debate, one of these two things will happen:
Winner: Nexus, but if HHH returns on Team WWE, Team WWE
 
Miz cashes in MITB against Sheamus loses then gets a Brog kick followed by a RKO.

Raw General Manager announces a US title defense of Miz versus Evan Bourne, Bourne runs out hits Air Bourne and wins.

Wow, losing MITB, getting two finishers and then losing the US title, all in one night? That would be an enormous squash lol.

His in ring skills have got to the point that he doesn't need the US title but needs a credible build up to be a WWE champion.
 
Yo guys all heels aren't gonna win brah.

Dolph Ziggler successfully defends his IC title after the "lost year" of his career.
Melina.
Big Show defeats the SES
Rey Mysterio defeats Kane. Have Kane and UT fight each other without the title, they are both a bore.
RKO defeats Sheamus. Sheamus is out of his element here and doesn't have enough guile to win. randy by RKO to Sheamus' sunburnt forehead.
Wade Barret and mixed greens defeat Team Jericho. A disappointing memember joins team Jericho HHH or Miz. If the Final Countdown plays I will no my life has purpose.

Well Kofi will win his match though.

Why would they give Ziggler the belt just to take it off him 2 weeks later? That makes no sense. Also, Kofi is going as far as he can go as IC champ, Ziggles needs the belt more. Let Kofi start feuding with someone a little bigger, like Punk or something.

Cena's been hinting for weeks that he's going to surprise people at Summerslam and now he just posted this on Twitter:

CeNation. Staples center is somber, quiet. Calm before storm. I feel nervous, on edge. I want to thank everyone out there who has supported Me over the years, as I feel this is one of the most important days in my career. In closing, I will say that if you do not watch summerslam Tonight, u will be missing an epic day in wwe history.

Heel turn or just a tease?

You're crazy brah. Dolph Ziggler is better than Swagger is every aspect. Swagger is a bore. Ziggler has it.

Couldn't disagree more - Ziggler is nothing but dull, Swagger seems like he could become one of those heels everyone loves to hate.
 
Team WWE vs. The Nexus (Elimination Tag Team Match)
Winner: Superfriends. Triple H is the final member. LOL at anyone thinking it's Daniel Bryan.

WWE Champion Sheamus vs. Randy Orton
Winner: Sheamus

World Heavyweight Champion Kane vs. Rey Mysterio
Winner: Kane. Taker interferes and takes out both Rey and Kane.

Intercontinental Champion Dolph Ziggler vs. Kofi Kingston
Winner: Ziggler

Big Show vs. The Straight Edge Society (3-on-1 Handicap Match)
Winner: S.E.S.

Divas Champion Alicia Fox vs. Melina
Loser:Me for having to watch.

With there being only 6 matches. I have a feeling WWE is gonna stall for time with something awful or they'll throw in some random Miz match or help us all a tag match.

true story

Ziggler doesn't even get mic time anymore. Vicky is his mouthpiece and he's still kind of bland. He had more charisma when he was walking around backstage for months introducing himself to random people.

And about Triple H being the mystery person, don't count on it. Sheamus is the one who put Triple H out of action so jumping into a storyline with the Nexus would be kinda stupid. 95% sure is BD. The other 5% says it's McMahon.

Why would Danielson join the guy that got him fired? O wait this is WWE, that makes perfect sense.

Charlie Haas has a better chance of being the last guy than Danielson.

Danielson's 90-day no-compete clause isn't even up yet. It's not him.
I never understood why people view this as something which would block WWE from re-signing a guy if they wanted. Is it actually? Surely they could just rehire someone they released anytime they want.

No way it's HHH as the last member. No way the wwe would blow a return that could possibly result in more ppv buys by just having him show up unannounced. Especially on one of the big 4 ppv's.

Miz will end up being the last one and I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up walking out on the team.

Doubt Haas would go back so soon. Quote from a JAPW show a couple of months back;

Fan; "You got fired!"
Haas; "Damn right I did! And i'm glad - that contract was a fucking prison sentence"

Not sure why people expect anything else. Didn't they already tease that on Raw? It's not hard to tell.

My prediction:
