It's all about A.J. & Hornswoggle vs. Maxine & Bateman right now. I didn't watch any of it prior to this, but I'm loving it.

XPac comments on the Young Bucks not shaking hands:
The shaking hands w everyone thing is a 2 edged sword. If you do it 2 every1 it gets annoying. If you dont, ppl bitch, case in point.
@mattjackson13 You two will be just fine. No matter what you did, someone was going to bitch about it, because ur young & new. Been there

WWE sources indicate that Luis Ignascio Urive Alvirde, the original Sin Cara, was sent home from Tuesday’s SmackDown taping in Calgary, Alberta, Canada after meeting with company officials. He left the Scotiabank Saddledome before the event’s conclusion.
Company sources say developmental talent Jorge Arias (a/k/a Hunico) will exclusively portray the Sin Cara character going forward. WWE wants to maintain the character since its been very popular among kids and in merchandise sales.
Many employees expect Alvirde to part ways with the organization, but that is not 100% confirmed.
WWE re-shot a match between Sin Cara and Heath Slater at Tuesday’s taping since the initial bout featured numerous botched maneuvers. Aries portrayed Cara in both matches. Alvirde was dressed to compete, but management opted not to use him. And Sin Cara is oficially is dead. At least we still have Rey right?  |

According to people at the tapings, Mistico messed up the match and the re-shot ending. Hunico stepped in towards the end of the taping to reshoot the match completely.
Mistico should have gone to FCW like everyone else. It would have done less harm to his career than bringing him straight to the roster did.

With CM Punk emerging as the breakout star of 2011 – there has been a lot of talk about how Punk and« John Cena’s big match at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view would deliver with customers. Aside from being one of the top merchandise sellers for WWE in recent months – Punk can add “ability to sell PPVs’” to his resume.
According to the latest numbers released to WWE stockholders, July’s Money in the Bank pay-per-view did over 265,000 worldwide buys – up a staggering 100,000 buys (60%) from 2010′s MITB event.
Money in the Bank is now the 3rd top grossing PPV of the year, behind WrestleMania 27 and the Royal Rumble.  Praise him....... |

Ugh. I’m done with “Sin Cara” if that news is true.
I want Mistico, not no Hunico!

I want Hunico as Hunico. Never really cared for Mistico outside of Mexico.

I thought Sin Cara/Mistico was awesome every time I saw him. I really hope they bring him back.
The new guy is a good 15-20 lbs heavier and isn't as graceful with the aerial stuff. I just don't think it's the same.

I want him back too, but only because when Sin Cara vs. Rey Mysterio eventually happens; it would be a lot more special with two solidified international sensations. Hunico vs. Rey Mysterio would be good too, but nowhere near the level of Mistico/Rey.
If you saw his FCW stuff before his fake Sin Cara run, you'd probably appreciate him more.

Money in the Bank is now the 3rd top grossing PPV of the year, behind WrestleMania 27 and the Royal Rumble. In a correction from earlier this week, the buyrates for WWE's Money in the Bank pay-per-view are not 265,000. WWE's charts had Money in the Bank at just under 300,000 buys but the actual estimate is around 185,000. The reported number of 265,000 includes previous pay-per-view buys unrelated to Money in the Bank. Official numbers won't be announced until November but it's now believed that the actual number will be around 200,000.
 Not quite then. |

'Air Boom' is one of the worst names they could have chosen for Kofi & Bourne... especially this close to 9/11's 10th anniversary.
They should have gone with 'Altitude Era' or 'Legion of Boom'.

Hunico was the man behind the Sin Cara mask at last night's RAW. Word going around at RAW was that the original Sin Cara, the former Mistico, is done with the company.
On a related note, word is that the idea of bringing in Averno from Mexico to work with Cara has been dropped.
Just drop the Sin Cara character and let him wrestle as Hunico.

Beth and Natalya have fallen flat on their faces since turning heel. WWE really dropped the ball.
And lol @ Eve. That baseball slide spot was so fucked up. I don't think whichever Bella that was even touched her.
