That duet. XD

Looks like it's official. WWE has Kana now. Guess they changed the spelling to "Kanna," but whatever.

Maybe they didn't want to have her name confused with Kane ? xD

I thought it was odd that they mispelled a four letter word when she appeared at Takeover. Now, I guess there was a reason for it. Probably a trademark thing, I won't knock it.

But AWESOME. Now, just please God, don't let them mess her up. Kana vs. Sasha, Charlotte, Becky, Bayley is just golden. Emma would probably be a good match, too, and Blue Pants would at least be fun to watch. She'd be great for NXT, I think. On the main roster, though, I would have worries...

They stick an extra Z on Taz they stick an extra N on Kana.

but NXT for her should be fun, just don't call her up until Vince/Dunn croak

Here's something for you:

14 years ago, in 2001, Hayabusa, a wrestler famous for his time in Japanese promotion FMW, considered pretty much the face of the promotion, accidentally slipped performing a Lionsault, a move he had performed countless times in his career without issue.

He broke his neck, cracking two of his vertabre and due to that, and other complications in the hospital, he would up paralyzed and lost the use of his legs. Despite this, he persevered, attaining a new career as a singer and never gave up the hope that one day he could stand in a wrestling ring again under his power.

That day has come.

Over 14 years of hard effort, surgery, and therapy has allowed Eiji Ezaki extremely limited use of his legs, and, with use of a cane, he is now capable of standing and walking short distances.

I'm not sure if this is at the press conference where he announced the return of the FMW promotion, with Hayabusa working in production, or if it was elsewhere, but he did it. 14 years later, Hayabusa walked to and stood in a pro wrestling ring again, under his own power.

In its own way, that's pretty beautiful.

That's awesome ;_;

I cried. Watched the video. Cried again. Jesus Christ.

A fan jumps the rail and makes a dash for Dean Ambrose.



There's unsubstantiated rumors that the guy had a knife, but I'm more impressed at the judo takedown by that security guard. Good Work~

Why does it look like the guy holding the camera also got bodyslammed ~.~ learn how to work your shit, people!

But yeah, as incompetent as they are kayfabe, they are pretty on the spot when they have to shoot.

That has GOT to be scary for the wrestlers though and shit like that can ruin it for the people who just want to have that normal fan connection.

Not gonna lie. I teared up…. A lot…

That's amazing though. Incredibly powerful and inspirational.
