"Backdoor To Chyna" 
I sadly already knew about the Chyna porn. Someone posted a link in the thread. I had a feeling it was gonna be a blip for her. I am still baffled as to why TNA would let her do the pedigree. I know it's not patented or anything like that but it was really silly.
(Shudders in horror)
What a stupid git.
Love your booking ideas for, Captain M. That's pretty damn close to how I would handle it, too.

Porn must pay better than wrestling.
Porn really does screw (pun intended) with your mind! I feel sorry for Chyna, porn is pretty much the lowest of the lows in the world of entertainment.
@Robert Maxwell I've seen a few documentaries about the world of pornography, new actresses get around $1000 dollars tops for your average movie and actors get under half that. Most pornographic actors supplement their income with expo appearances and working strip clubs. In some extreme cases, some might resort to escort work. The really big names in porn get all the money and pornstars only have a certain shelf life.
Wrestling OTOH can pay better and be more secure, but its a tough industry. The Independent wrestlers make on average $200 a night and many hold day jobs or will not have a fixed address and therefore live on the road. The lower card WWE guys make between $60,000 and $150,000 per annum as part of their downside and this is a piss poor salary given by how much they must spend to travel. The top guys in WWE make up to $3,000,000 dollars on downsides alone. Coupled with their large PPV bonuses from headlining and their royalties cut from merchandise, they can make a lot of money within a short period of time (Steve Austin made $6,000,000 between 1998 and 2001).
Both industries have a similar thing in common - being the best gets you the best.

In order to get number one wrestler of the year...Zack Ryder would have needed to actually wrestle 
So was that Cena kayfabe'ing Miz? I'm not aware of any personal beef between the two of them.
NXT is still on?

Daniel Bryan has two finishers...the Guillotine choke, and LeBell Lock which according to Wikipedia is an omoplata crossface.
Yes, I'm liking Danielson using the Guillotine Choke as a secondary finisher, its a move we've only seen used by a couple of people in the WWE (one of which was Jamie Noble).
I didn't really like Danielson's previous submission move (The Cattle Mutilation) during his indie days. It looked cool, but extremely easy to escape from. All the opponent would have to do is use their legs to get up on a knee position and elevate their upper body, thus forcing the attacker to release the pressure. Although I'm not sure if anyone has used this method to escape from it in pro wrestling. Danielson used to do an awesome variation of the Regal-Plex as a signature move back in his ROH days, I'm not sure if he's used it in the WWE as of yet.
In other news, the WWE Championship match between John Cena and CM Punk at Money In the Bank recieved a 5-star rating from Wrestling Observer columnist Dave Meltzer. This is a very big achievement, not only are 5-star ratings rare, this is the first WWE match to recieve such a rating in 13 years (the last being Shawn Michaels vs Undertaker at Badd Blood 1997). Despite the WO being a dirtsheet at its core, most names in the industry read it and its been rumored that Vince McMahon himself is a subscriber!
