WWE Monday Night Raw: 8/26/2013

AJ Lee's "Pipebombshell" had fans buzzing.

 



On this past Monday's RAW the feud of the year continued as CM Punk took his personal war against Paul Heyman even further when he beat Heyman's newest protégé Curtis Axel for a chance to go one on one with his former mentor.  AJ Lee cut what is possibly, the promo of the year and Daniel Bryan's quest for the WWE title saw him come face to face with the McMahon brand of justice.  Here are the highlights from the 1057th edition of Monday Night Raw live from the U.S. Airways Center in Phoenix, AZ:

Breaking Punk

CM Punk and road wife Kofi Kingston were caught lurking around a place very familiar to fans of AMC's hit series Breaking Bad.  The home featured in this photo belongs to none other than the infamous Walter White.  I don't know about any of you, but I wouldn't want to be on the wrong end of Heisenberg's wrath.  And even though they may have "mysteriously disappeared" come next week, this is still one hell of an awesome photo.

WWE Friday Night Smackdown: 8/23/2013

Orton and Bryan highlight an excellent episode.

Here are my thoughts on this week's Smackdown from the Rabobank Arena in Bakersfield, CA:

WWE PPV Review: Summerslam 2013

One of the most satisfying WWE events of all time.

Here are my thoughts on the WWE's second biggest PPV event of the year:

WWE PPV Preview: Summerslam 2013

The Best & The Beast get top billing in the biggest party of the summer.

Here are my predictions for tonight's show:

The 23rd NJPW G1 Climax Review

2013's biggest tournament may very well be the all-time best.

 

 

For those of you who still haven't hopped a ride on the New Japan train just yet, there isn't much more I can say at this point about the level of greatness you are missing out on.  No other wrestling promotion in history has been able to put forth a better combination of glorious panache and superb quality and with this tournament they've managed to elevate nearly every wrestler involved to a level twice as high as the were going in.  In part one of my G1 coverage, I explained some of the rules and left you all with an idea of the current rankings at that time.  What follows next is an accessible recap of all nine events each with a final score and a few highly recommended matches.  So read on puro fans, chances are, you already know where I'm going with this.

 

Getting You Up To Speed On The 23rd NJPW G1 Climax

My money is on the Real Rock 'N' Rolla.

Whatup fellow puro marks it's that time of the year again!  The brilliant minds over at New Japan Pro Wrestling are currently delivering some of the most epic and cant-miss iPPV events of the year with their longest running tournament, the G1 (Grade One) Climax very well underway.
