I Was There: New York Comic-Con 2015

Another year. Another Comic-Con. New York Comic Con is one of our favorite times of the year. We love catching up with old friends, finding out about new wrestling comics like Adam Del Re’s Slabrock, seeing wrestling-based comics like Headlocked continue to rise, and looking at old school Hasbro’s that we can never afford.

But what would New York Comic Con be without cosplay? If you’ve ever been to a con, you’ve probably seen your fair share of Dark Knights, Deadpools, Death Note’s and Doctor Who’s. And that’s great. But we love when people trade in the Sonic Screwdriver for the Steiner Screwdriver and dress as there favorite wrestlers.

Thankfully, there was a lot of wrestling cosplay this year. And with the help of the Three Man Booth elite (Drew and Khristen), we were able to capture some of the best NYCC wrestling cosplay.

Here are some of our favorites:

Summer Rae has an announcement next.

Summer Rae introduces Rusev AKA the man she goes home to every night.

Summer Rae tells Rusev that she has dedicated an entire segment to him. After fighting off “USA” chants, Summer Rae shows Rusev a tribute video.

Rusev thinks it’s great. Rusev lets Summer know when this first started, he didn’t like her at all. But now, Rusev doesn’t care about anyone but her. Summer Rae is glad Rusev said that because there’s something she has to ask him…

So That Happened: #TotalDivas Season 04 Finale Recap (09/29/15)

STH_Total_Divas_Logo_Season03_3MB

I Do… I Don’t?

Still in Mexico, Paige tells Foxy that she lied. She only said yes to Kevin’s proposal because she loves him and doesn’t want to lose him. Paige does not want to be married. At least not right now.

She needs to find some way to tell Kevin since saying, “j/k” or “It was reverse day: yes meant no” don’t work.

They break the news to the other Total Divas and they agree that the best thing to do is tell Kevin as sooner than later.

Paige_Brie_Marry_3MB

Paige needs to tell him in person but Kevin’s on tour and Paige is in Mexico. But the Total Divas agree: “Cheers to not right now.”

Also, this happens.

Now it’s time for the results of Kane’s Evaluation:

https://twitter.com/MissDaniBaby/status/648676929436946433

Before Ashley from HR can get started, Seth Rollins interrupts and tells Ashley that Kane is not the person he’s claiming to be, then shows a video clip of Kane’s demonic ways.

After the video, Rollins claims he’s going to heaven and that The Pope told him so last week.

Kane counters Seth Rollins’ video with a video of his own. Kane’s video is of the horrible things Rollins has done.

After the videos, Ashley continues the evaluation, saying Kane is sound of mind and capable of doing his duties as the Director of Operations.
