Word on the street is that Henry hyperextended his knee...when he was throwing that punch and fell down. Show apparently has something hurting in his back. With Henry, I'd have to imagine it wasn't a horrible hyperextension, because there's no way they'd clear him if there'd been significant ligament damage.
The Regal in the Rumble thing...well, I would really like to see him go far in the match if he's a participant...which, for some reason, I have a strong feeling he will be. Road Dog Jesse James is rumored to be in the match also, by the way, so it will be cool to see him, too. My thing is just an immense love for Steven Regal / William Regal, and a strong desire for him to be the first English-born heavy weight champion, along with grand slam champion. He wouldn't even have to hold the title for more than a week to appease me. The man deserves it, though. The two top-tier champions in the whole organization, CM Punk and Daniel Bryan, were both trained by William Regal, and he's not at all shabby in the ring himself. If he proves to be in decent shape, I'd have no opposition to him getting some more TV time as a wrestler and not a legend.
Kofi / Dibiase as a tag team would work. It would be nice to remove Dibiase from that silly tailgate storyline feud. Justin Gabriel also has a style I find to be very complimentary to Kofi's, and could be worth consideration. It would almost make sense in that case, too: Both are currently billed from countries in Africa, although Gabriel is legitimately from South Africa.
I'd much rather Swagger retain than drop the strap to Riley or Ryan. Much agreement there. It looks like they've just pulled Riley back up from FCW...but I can't really see if he's improved all that much because they jobbed him out to Brodus Clay.
As far as Yoshi: I'm just a fan of Japanese-style wrestling. I think he does it well (better than most) and would be excited to see him progress.
My friends and I were compiling lists of our top five favorite wrestlers ever, and found that they didn't vary all that much, weirdly. Pretty much there was maybe one difference in wrestlers on the list, and the order was a little different. Mine is:
1.) Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat
2.) Bret "The Hitman" Hart
3.) "Macho Man" Randy Savage
4.) "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes (Best cutter of promos. Period.)
5.) Killer Kowalski
Main runners up include: Bruno Sammartino; Stunning/Stone Cold Steve Austin; Chris Jericho; Chris Benoit; William Regal; Kenta Kobashi
