<p>NXT Takeover: Respect was good stuff, especially the main event - WWE history made, as for the first time, the main event of a live special (formerly PPVs) was a women's match, and it was also WWE's first women's iron man match (the bout lasts a fixed amount of time, 30 minutes in this case, most falls wins). NXT Women's Champion, Bayley, defended against Sasha Banks (champion's rematch), and it was phenomenal, especially for Sasha's heel work in the middle, and the finish. Go watch it!</p>

<p>@WWEDanielBryan</p>
<p>Due to medical reasons, effective immediately, I am announcing my retirement. Tonight on Raw, I'll have a change to elaborate #grattitude</p>

So gutted about his forced retirement, but happy that he got his big Wrestlemania moment, and got to leave on his terms. Much like Edge, I see a WWE Hall of Fame induction in the near future. <br><br>
On the plus side, WWE are coming to NZ in August (Vector Arena, Aug 10) - might have to go! -

He been dead a while eh? <br><br><br>
On Bryan I think he could do quite well as an actor. Not sure what he's got going but hes got an ever man look and genuine acting ability.</p></blockquote>
<br>
Yeah, 2004.<br><br>
Re Bryan, he could do, he's still reasonably young. -
<p>The missus and I are heading to Japan in February next year - can anyone recommend any NJPW or other events to catch some wrestling while there?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Might try to eat at the Ribera Steak house one evening in Tokyo too</p> -

I'm no good for the wrestling stuff, but I'm relatively useful for restaurants in and around Tokyo. PM me and help out if I can! -

<p>Chyna, who rose to fame as a female wrestler and actress, was found dead Wednesday in her Redondo Beach home, her manager said.</p>
<p>Anthony Anzaldo, her manager, said she was found in the afternoon and that no cause of death had been determined. She was 45.</p>
<p>Redondo Beach police said the department was investigating but that there were no signs of foul play.</p>
<p>"The Redondo Beach Police received a 911 call from a friend of the apartment unit resident that the female inside was not breathing," the department said in a statement.</p>
<p>"The friend told Redondo Beach Police that the female had not answered her phone in a few days, and went to the location to check on her welfare. Officers arrived on scene and discovered a deceased female inside the location."</p>
<p>Officials said a cause of death was under investigation by the police and Los Angeles County coroner.</p>
<p>Chyna, who was born Joan Marie Laurer, was a star in the World Wrestling Entertainment beginning in the mid-1990s and also performed as an actor both in adult entertainment and mainstream films.</p>
<p>For a time, Chyna was a big name in popular culture. "If They Only Knew," her autobiography, reached The New York Times best-seller list in 2001.</p>
<p>She also was a cast member on several reality TV shows.</p>

<p>Crap - Damian Sandow has been cut from WWE - his Mizdow work in the past year was great - both on the mic, and in the ring</p>
