It’s playoff season in the NFL. All the remaining teams are competing to earn a spot at the SuperBowl on February 1st and will do anything to get there. In looking for inspiration, players are reaching to one of the most successful champions of all time, the 16 time World Champion, the “Nature Boy” Ric Flair. Back in 2013, the St. Louis Rams and the Seattle Seahawks had a Flair-off in one game, and it wasn’t even a playoff game!
The Rams’ Chris Long started to style and profile after sacking the Seahawks’ Russell Wilson. Not to be outdone, Walter Thurmond broke out his best “Naitch” after taking down Kellen Clemens.
And last year, the San Francisco 49ers asked Ric to give them a pep talk during their playoff run. But this year, the Flair moment to beat belongs to the Indianapolis Colts’ Sergio Brown.
John Cena Appreciation Night:
Stephanie McMahon hypes John Cena Appreciation Night, trying to get the WWE Universe into it and claiming John Cena knows what’s Best For Business. Stephanie McMahon enthusiastically introduces John Cena to the ring.
Triple H and Stephanie McMahon enthusiastically introduce John Cena again, then remind Cena that he brought back The Authority. After showing the clip of Cena bringing back The Authority, Triple H mocks Cena’s voice. Stephanie calls Cena his hero, while Triple H brings up his past problems with Cena. Triple H claims the problems were his fault and tells a story about how he told Shawn Michaels that he thinks John Cena sucks. Triple H talks about Cena’s growth and greatness, saying that was the reason he was so hard on Cena. Triple H thinks he’s starting to see a different John Cena and that he appreciates him.
Triple H and Stephanie McMahon decide to appreciate people who really appreciate John Cena. Triple H brings out Ryback.
Triple H brings out Erick Rowan next.
Last but not least, Triple H brings out Dolph Ziggler.
Triple H says Dolph Ziggler, Erick Rowan and Ryback have appreciation for John Cena, and reminds them that there were consequences for joining Team Cena. Triple H says they won, but then John Cena threw that all away. Triple H addresses Erick Rowan first, giving him a 30 Day Suspension with No Pay. Stephanie McMahon brings up Ryback, who gets suspended for 60 Days No Pay for turning his back on The Authority. Triple H brings up Dolph Ziggler, asking him what he would get for beating The Authority with the help of “Goofball Sting.”
Triple H asks Dolph Ziggler what he should get and Ziggler says “90 Days.” Triple H and Stephanie McMahon mock Dolph Ziggler for being so quick witted.
Triple H and Stephanie McMahon tell Dolph Ziggler, Erick Rowan and Ryback that they need to come to a decision and leave the ring in a huddle. After they get up the ramp, Stephanie McMahon informs Dolph Ziggler, Erick Rowan and Ryback that they’re fired and it’s all thanks to John Cena.

So That Happened:
Even before their official debut, The New Day – Big E, Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston – have been doing what they can to be noticed. They were all in the #1 Contender Battle Royal for the Intercontinental Championship … #1 Contender. They’ve been bonding outside of the ring to make their in-ring chemistry even better. They’re not doing it for the Vine; they’re doing it for the Day (Ain’t gonna do it!).
Do it for the Day! (Ain’t gonna do it!)
So why is the WWE treating them like this?
Global Force Wrestling, Jeff Jarrett’s new wrestling promotion made it possible for fans outside of Japan to watch New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Wrestle Kingdom 9. Jim Ross and Matt Striker called the action for us gaijin as we watched on PPV, either live on Sunday morning at 2am or via replay at 7pm later that day. We had a 3ManBooth slumber party, watching Japan’s finest do battle. If you haven’t seen it, you should; it’s some of the best wrestling we’ve seen, a great mixture of styles as well. There were high flyers, brawlers, MMA fighters and traditional style matches. One style and fighter that stood out is the King of Strong Style, Shinsuke Nakamura.
