Aamir Khan's Dhoom 3 vs Hrithik Roshan'sKrrish 3: Which will be film of year?

Two of this year’s most anticipated films (and sure-shot blockbusters) — Dhoom 3 and Krrish 3 will be releasing on Diwali and Christmas respectively. Both the films are sequels to big brands and both have big stars at the helm. It will also be Aamir and Hrithik’s first release in 2013. And they are both supremely confident of their films.

Says an insider, “The usually cautious Aamir has been telling people, ‘Mark my words — if there’s one film this year that will break all records, it will be Dhoom 3. It will gross over 

Rs 300 or 400 crore. He’s that confident of Dhoom 3. And he has all reason to be. This is also the first time he is playing a baddie on screen. This film will appeal to the youth, as it is slick and stylish.” Meanwhile, Krrish 3 has already created a huge buzz with the trailer. It is a film that kids will love. Family audience will be flocking for this one, so huge numbers are guaranteed. But the question is which film will be bigger?

Aamir will break the record!
Says trade analyst Komal Nahta, “It’s difficult to comment on that as I feel both will be huge hits. They are both big brands. Dhoom 3 has Aamir Khan as an anti-hero, the Aamir-Katrina combination, and the Yash Raj banner and the expertise of Aditya Chopra. Krrish 3 has the Krissh brand, Rakesh Roshan, Hrithik and their banner. Hrithik is a huge craze amongst the kids.” He feels that Aamir will break his previous held unbroken record of 3 Idiots, “I think he can break the record. Firstly, because Dhoom 3 is a huge franchise. Secondly, times have changed. The admission rates at theatres have shot up and there are lot many theatres now. Both Dhoom 3 and Krrish 3 will definitely cross over Rs 200 crores.”

The Krrish 3 edge
Says trade analyst Amod Mehra, “We haven’t seen the trailer of Dhoom 3 so it’s a bit early to comment on that film, yet as far as expectations are concerned, I think Krrish 3 has a slight edge over Dhoom 3because D3 is an established brand and  the audience knows what to expect. Hrithik has already been established as a superhero in the earlier Krrish 1 and 2 so now people expect D3 to be a full fun film where the audience comprises family and children. They will come to see something different than the usual robbery, thrills and chases ofDhoom series. 

Also, Krrish 3 has a super villain for the first time. It is looking more exciting, polished and of international standard so I would say K3 has an edge of five per cent over D3. Rakesh Roshan  is one of the most under-rated filmmakers. In Dhoom 3 what we are expecting to see is Aamir Khan who is expected to carry the film on his shoulders. Both films can gross anything between Rs 210-225 crores each. Each has that achievable target. Both have strong content.”

Ranbir-Kat broke up over marriage

Ranbir Kapoor's closeness to his Rockstar co-star Nargis Fakhri was perceived as the reason for his breakup with rumoured girlfriend Katrina Kaif. But it has emerged that Ranbir's denial for marriage is the real reason, reported Mumbai Mirror.

Ranbir didn't give in to Katrina's demand for marriage. "It was only incidental that Ranbir's fondness for Nargis increased recently. However, what has really distanced him from Katrina is her demand that they get married, by March 2012, if not December 2011. She clearly told him that they should tie the knot in a year's time," a source told the tabloid.

Kapoor boy thinks himself too young for marriage and doesn't want to be tied down at 28. "Well, he didn't know what to do. He explained to Katrina that marrying her in a year's time wouldn't be possible since he is too young. Ranbir doesn't want to pin himself down in life," added the source.

The duo have been reportedly dating since they worked together in Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani. Also, Katrina had expressed her desire to get hitched in 2012.

However, the actress completely denied even dating her co-star from Rajneeti. "These rumours are embarrassing, ugly, a million miles from the truth, beyond fiction. The so-called people close to me who are saying these things actually have no proximity to me. Ranbir is a friend, but there is nothing beyond. So there is no question of my breaking up with him or asking for marriage," Kat explained the tabloid.

There are chances that the couple may patch up if Kat stops being too demanding. "It would be more apt to say that they have had a big fight at the moment, rather than to say that they have ended their relationship. Katrina would love to get back with Ranbir, who also likes her very much. But he is certainly not thinking in terms of marriage with her at this point of time," informed the source.

Mick Foley defends the Bellas following AJ's "Pipebombshell"

The Hall of Famer takes to Facebook to defend the Bella Twins against accusations that they haven't earned their spots following AJ Lee's explosive promo on the August 26th episode of Raw. Plus, some Twitter responses from the cast of Total Divas.

Mick Foley and the Bellas are veterans of WWE public relations tours - especially Tribute to the Troops and other events centered on the military. Given that, it probably isn't a surprise that Mama Foley's baby boy took to his Facebook page for a long post praising AJ Lee's promo from last night (Aug. 26th)'s Raw, but largely aimed at defending his friends. Especially the insinuation that they have not earned their jobs with the company.

IN DEFENSE OF BRI AND NIKKI

It's been a memorable Raw; an intense and disturbing physical encounter between Paul Heyman and CM Punk, a tremendous match-up between Christian and Randy Orton..and the looming danger to Orton's new Escalade (which, as of this writing, is still unscathed.) So why is it that I'm writing this post about the Divas division, feeling as if if I need to intervene and stick up for Bri and Nikki Bella - two young ladies who seem more than capable of sticking up for themselves?

First, before I speak up for the Bellas, how about I acknowledge that AJ Lee delivered one of the finest promos - male or female - that I've seen on Raw in quite a while. That's really saying something, considering that Paul Heyman and CM Punk have been doing some of their finest mic work on the show on a regular basis, and that Daniel Bryan has been (wait, the Escalade just got spray-painted) an absolute joy to watch, as he finds new depth in his persona on an almost weekly basis.

Yes, that was an amazing promo by AJ - primarily because she believed every word of it to be true..or at least it seemed that way to this 28 year wrestling veteran. After all, going back to the lessons I learned from Michael PS Hayes, a heel is always at their most believable and frightening and believable when they absolutely believe in their own words and actions. AJ's words were convincing and seem to be the ones being embraced by the WWE Universe. I know many people look at Bri and Nikki and see two beautiful women who have been given their spot in the company due to their beauty and choice in boyfriends.

That's not what I see when I look at Bri and Nikki. I see two strong, proud women who walked away from WWE in April 2012 following a legitimate business disagreement with the company. Bri and Nikki wanted to have more say in what they could and could not do outside of WWE. The company disagreed. I know that feeling. I've been there. The Bellas took a stand and walked away. I know that feeling too. But they didn't do it the Mick Foley way - whining and complaining, and (ask Layla about this sometime) even yelling a little bit. They did it the right way. They took a stand, did everything they were asked to do, and left with their heads held high; earning a heightened respect from everyone they dealt with on their way out.

And when they returned, they came back with a piece of the puzzle that had been missing from the Divas division. They returned with "Total Divas" - the vehicle the entire Divas division has driven to new heights of acceptance and mainstream recognition. I've often wondered why AJ wasn't part of the show. Obviously, she's a unique character and an an extremely talented wrestler. I would have really enjoyed the opportunity to see her outside the ring - to see how much AJ the performer and AJ the character had in common. I could completely understand any hard feelings she might harbor against the Bellas in that regard. But the idea that the Bellas haven't worked for everything they've received is just plain wrong from this Hall of Famer's perspective.

The other women targeted in what CM Punk dubbed AJ's "Pipebombshell" also took to Twitter to respond. While the Bellas themselves and Ariane Andrew (Cameron of the Funkadactyls) took the Jerry Lawler low road, Naomi and Natalya stayed more in character and aimed to answer the Pint-sized Powder Keg in the ring.

Whether you're with her or against her, it's clear that the Divas champion has generated more buzz for the exploits of WWE women on a pro wrestling show than anyone in quite some time. The fact that E!'s Total Divas factors so prominently in her rant and the aftermath has to make everyone at WWE and NBC/Universal pretty pleased.

What about you Cagesiders? Team AJ, or Team Total Divas?

WWE Raw: AJ Lee's Promo Soars While the Bella Twins Race to the Bottom

 

It's downright painful to watch most wrestlers in the WWE Divas' division.

Even when they're doing something incredibly right, the worst members of the female roster always seem like they're actively trying to ruin it.

That was the clear dichotomy between AJ Lee and the Bella Twins on Raw this past Monday, highlighted by a promo that's been the most interesting thing in WWE women's wrestling for a long, long time.

AJ Lee, to put it mildly, hit all the right points.

In one fell swoop, AJ buried Total Divas on E! (while simultaneously putting the show over), got a huge reaction from the wrestling fanbase and solidified herself as the greatest talker in the WWE female ranks outside of Stephanie McMahon-Levesque and Vickie Guerrero.

In fact, the best part of that whole segment was AJ, while the worst -- as usual -- was the Bella Twins.

There are certainly worse female wrestlers on the roster than Nikki Bella and Brie Bella, but if you wanted to see everything wrong with the Divas division in a single moment, this promo was yet another occasion in which the sisters sabotaged themselves.

It's "Pro Wrestling 101" basics -- when Creative is letting one of the roster's best stars get that kind of time of microphone, you let them speak.

No one interrupts CM Punk, Daniel Bryan or John Cena when they're on the stick.

That's not just common sense -- the script needs to be heard -- but it's also base-level professionalism.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=afedl8HylCY

Sadly, the Bellas continually strain their collective brainpower and still fail to figure out how to be heels without being irritating. Despite being "veterans", neither one can help but squawk like seagulls when they're not the center of attention, a crippling facet of their characters that ultimately makes them annoying to see and hear.

(Ironically, that's a situation made only worse by the Bellas' time on Total Divas, which doesn't do very much to separate them from their self-titled "alpha bitch" TV characters.)

Instead of taking the strong, silent lead from Natalya, Cameron and Naomi -- three stellar talents who emoted awesomely cool anger as they allowed AJ to speak her mind -- the Bella Twins only proved AJ's point about them being awful performers.

There simply aren't very many wrestlers on the roster that would actively try to interrupt another talent's promo spot, especially when the script clearly isn't calling for ad-libs and off-camera cat-calls.

That's not the Bellas working for heel heat, either -- that's them just being bad at their job.

Unfortunately, that's been the twins' problem for several years -- although they're technically not horrible physical talents, they're plain awful when it comes to acting. They have no idea how to read a situation and pick their verbal spots, as evidenced by their incessant babbling at ringside on Monday night.

(Eva Marie didn't look any better for it, either.)

In essence, both Bellas proved AJ Lee's superiority in the worst way for themselves.

One day, the WWE will probably be better off when the current Divas Champion is the undisputed top dog and the Bella Twins retire on the backs of their poor, henpecked boyfriends' salaries.

Brilliant performances like AJ's can save the WWE Divas.

But as long as talents like the Bellas are around, it seems like there's always going to be two horses deadlocked in a painful race to the bottom for women's wrestling.

WWE Raw ratings remain solid with Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton on top

The ratings are in for last night's (Aug. 26, 2013) episode of "Monday Night Raw" and the numbers are holding steady with Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton on top while John Cena and Sheamus are out due to injury

Week one without both John Cena and Sheamus around to help carry the load has to be considered a success, relatively speaking. The ratings are in for last night's (Aug. 26, 2013) episode of Monday Night Raw and WWE kept a decent amount of its audience from the SummerSlam fallout edition the week prior.

Indeed, the show averaged 4.19 million viewers and a 3.07 rating compared to 4.30 million viewers and a 3.24 rating last week.

Here's the hourly breakdown:

Hour one: 4.13 million
Hour two: 4.29 million
Hour three: 4.15 million

An important thing to note here is that if you aren't counting last week's show, which was guaranteed to bring in a good number thanks to it coming after a major pay-per-view (PPV) event, this was the highest rated episode of Raw in three months.

Actually, the first hour this week outperformed the first hour last week.

It's a good sign that viewers seem to be interested enough in the Daniel Bryan vs. The Machine storyline with Triple H heading the charge as the corporate overlord while The Shield act as his attack dogs and Randy Orton is his the man carrying his title. It's important to note there was no competition from the NFL this week, so we'll see how things hold up once Monday Night Football takes over ESPN in just two short weeks.

EDGE | TATTOO: GREAT WAVE | LOCATION: LEFT ARM

While it's not the most recognizable of his tattoos, the ink on Edge's left arm has the greatest artistic appeal of the bunch, and one that stands out from many other Superstar tattoos. The image of the big wave appears to be directly inspired by "The Great Wave off Kanagawa," a famous woodblock print by the Japanese artist Hokusai. The artwork depicts a massive wave threatening boats near the Japanese prefecture of Kanagawa, with Mount Fuji visible in the background of the stormy sea. "For me, body art is all about expression," Edge told WWE.com in a 2007 interview. "It's a lifestyle and can serve as a reminder that when my career is done, I'll have a story to tell on my body. And it will be my story of my life on my body."

LITA | TATTOO: THREE-EYED DEMON | LOCATION: RIGHT ARM

Lita is remembered for being one of the most accomplished Divas in WWE history — and also one of the most devious ones. It's fitting, then, that her sinister side is on display with a three-eyed demon tattoo on her right arm. Easily the most noticeable of Lita's tats, the demon appears somewhat reminiscent of the Oni, a brooding creature from Japanese folklore. The four-time Women's Champion decided to get the colorful tattoo as a souvenir while on a trip to Amsterdam because she was a fan of the artist's work.

BATISTA | TATTOO: CHINESE DRAGON | LOCATION: BACK

Batista's moniker in the ring was The Animal. 

His defining piece of skin art, however, is a 

fire-breathing dragon that nearly spans the 

length of his entire back. The huge Chinese 

dragon is very impressive not only for its 

scope, but also for its powerful line work 

across the creature's many scales. The tattoo 

also does a great job of working with the 

natural contours of Batista's body by 

accentuating his hulking trapezius muscles, 

adding another level of intimidation for the 

already fearsome six-time World Champion.

 CHRIS JERICHO | TATTOO: IRON MAIDEN'S "EDDIE" & LADY JUSTICE | LOCATION: BOTH WRISTS/FOREARMS

Chris Jericho's transition from a clean-cut bad boy to a full-blown Ayatollah of Rock 'n' Rolla has been an interesting ride, complete with several tattoos to round out the fresh image. Jericho, frontman of the heavy metal band Fozzy, has a pair of visually striking tats of a chain-biting mummy and Lady Justice running up his wrists and forearms. If the mummy looks familiar, that's because it's actually "Eddie," Iron Maiden's ominous mascot which appears on every one of the heavy metal group's album covers. And this tatted version of Lady Justice mirrors the cover art for Metallica's album "...And Justice for All." Another Jericho tattoo worth noting is the winged skull-and-bones emblem on his left arm, a recent addition inspired by the album cover art for Fozzy's latest release, "Sin and Bones."

BROCK LESNAR | TATTOO: DEMON SKULL | LOCATION: BACK

On a scare meter of 1-10, Brock Lesnar's back tattoo notches a 10 and then some. In fact, it's arguably the most wicked-looking piece of ink in WWE history. Brock's back tattoo includes a monstrous demon skull with a sword going right through it, and if that wasn't menacing enough, there are two armless hands grasping ice picks on each side of the demon skull. Yeah, it's pretty much evil incarnate. Lesnar also has another large piece — a sword which spans the entire middle of his torso — but it's the back tattoo that has become Brock's insignia on merchandise and the figure that strikes fear into the hearts of all the behemoth's unfortunate opponents. 

RANDY ORTON | TATTOO: TRIBAL DESIGN | LOCATION: BACK AND SHOULDERS

One of the points of emphasis for a strong tattoo is how well the lines follow the natural contours of the body. Randy Orton's tribal design definitely accomplishes this by coiling around The Viper's neck, shoulders and upper back. The tattoo also complements Orton's signature full sleeves, which are strewn with various skulls down his arms. Orton, who's had the back piece since his days training in Ohio Valley Wrestling, also makes sure to get his tats touched up once a year — a process that takes about six hours — to prevent any unwanted fading.

CM PUNK | TATTOO: SKULL & SNAKE | LOCATION: CHEST

To pick only one of CM Punk's pieces to showcase might be an exercise in futility. Practically every inch of The Best in the World's upper body is covered with tattoos, each with its own unique story worth telling. And while Punk's word tattoos such as "drug free" and "straight edge" seemingly attract the most attention due to his image, it's the dangerous combo of skull and snake across his chest that's immediately eye-catching on first glance, partially because of how fresh that ink still is. When asked for his take on getting tattoos, The Straight Edge Superstar once told WWE.com: "Tattoos are like wearing your heart on your sleeve. It's about showing who you are on the inside by showing it on the outside. … Each tattoo you get should have some deep, deep meaning."

JEFF HARDY | TATTOO: FULL SLEEVE OF ROOTS | LOCATION: RIGHT ARM

Jeff Hardy once said he regards his tattoos as his "artistic impulses." His impulse led him in the right direction with the visually stunning roots that weave from his neck all the way down to his right hand.  "The roots are my way of connecting with the earth: The earth's roots carry water like a human's veins carry blood," Hardy explained to WWE.com in 2007. "I thought it'd be something different besides tribal; you know, a lot of guys have tribal [bands]." From his colorful face paint to his innovative maneuvers in the ring, The Charismatic Enigma has always found a way to separate himself from the pack with his artistic style. Hardy's interwoven roots tattoo is further evidence of that style with its fascinating, one-of-a-kind look.

THE UNDERTAKER | TATTOO: FULL SLEEVE OF DEMONS & SKULLS | LOCATION: RIGHT ARM

Opponents who take one glance at the demonic ink that covers The Undertaker's entire right arm probably feel like they're stepping one foot into the underworld. While The Deadman's left arm follows a mystical theme, his right arm features tattoos with a variety of frightening demons and skulls. The most recognizable and spellbinding piece on Undertaker's right sleeve is the "Thinking Demon," which was done by famous tattoo artist Paul Booth of Last Rites Tattoo Theatre. With a waiting list that runs thousands deep and regular clientele that includes band members from Slayer, Slipknot, Pantera and The Phenom himself, Booth has mastered the art of macabre tattoos with impeccable shading for more than 20 years. Just as the flame tattoo was Bam Bam Bigelow's staple, we couldn't imagine The Undertaker without his full sleeves of infernal ink. They are indispensable parts of The Phenom.

THE ROCK | TATTOO: POLYNESIAN TRIBAL HALF-SLEEVE | LOCATION: LEFT SHOULDER AND ARM

In 2003, The Rock took a trip to Hawaii to get inked by 

famous Tahitian tattoo artist Po'oino Yrondi. Three emotional 

20-hour sessions later and The Great One now had the most 

electrifying tattoo in sports-entertainment sprawled across 

his left shoulder and upper arm. The Rock's tribal design 

holds a great deal of meaning, with numerous symbols that 

represent the WWE Champion's struggle, success, spiritual 

guides and loyalty to his family. The custom tattoo was 

remarkably composed freehand, with the artist working 

directly on Rock's skin without a stencil or transfer.

In the documentary "Once in a Lifetime: The Rock vs. John 

Cena," The Brahma Bull broke down exactly what the 

intricate skin art means to him. "As detailed and elaborate as 

this entire tattoo is that I'm very, very proud of, it all comes 

down to three things: my family, protecting my family and 

having a very aggressive warrior spirit that you can't hold 

down. I will continue to fight and overcome."

DARREN YOUNG DEF. ANTONIO CESARO

One-half of The Prime Time Players battled one-half of The Real Americans as Darren Young went one-on-one against the scary strong Antonio Cesaro.When Mr. No Days Off nailed Cesaro with The Gut-Check, The Prime Time Players kept rolling along with another victory.Showing that his mean streak knows no bounds, Ryback ripped up an autograph meant for a young fan, calling the well-meaning dad who approached the Superstar a “scrawny, pencil-necked fool.” Ryback ripped up an autograph meant for a young fan, calling the well-meaning dad who approached the Superstar a “scrawny, pencil-necked fool.” Ryback ripped up an autograph meant for a young fan, Superstar a “scrawny, pencil-necked fool.”

DOLPH ZIGGLER DEF. BIG E LANGSTON

After being decimated by The Shield on Raw, Dolph Ziggler looked to take out some frustrations against his former heavy and Divas Champion AJ Lee’s “best friend,” Big E Langston, on SmackDown. Langston assaulted The Showoff before the bell even rang, clocking Ziggler from behind. When Dolph assured the referee he was okay, the match officially started and Big E once again put his scary. Just when it looked like Ziggler was getting back on track, AJ inserted herself into the mix, delivering a fierce shot to her ex-boyfriend with the referee distracted. But when Big E went for the Big Ending, The Showoff countered with the Zig Zag out of nowhere, and picked up the big Friday night win without even taking off his t-shirt.

CURTIS AXEL DEF. CODY RHODES

Following up his huge victory in a highly personal match 

against former buddy (and current Mr. Money in the Bank) 

Damien Sandow at SummerSlam, Cody Rhodes looked to 

insert himself into the Intercontinental Title hunt as he 

battled current champion Curtis Axel. But after Paul Heyman 

distracted Rhodes, Axel hit the neckbreaker to score a huge 

win over the "son of a son of a plumber. The mad scientist 

went on to say The Straight Edge Superstar was "lost," while 

Curtis Axel had "found himself," making the bold statement 

that no Superstar can defeat the reigning Intercontinental 

Champion. Axel then challenged Punk to a match on next 

week’s Raw!Later, Punk would Tweet his response, setting 

the stage for their Monday night clash.

BIG SHOW & MARK HENRY DEF. 3MB IN A 2-ON-3 HANDICAP MATCH 


In a Handicap Match in name only, Big Show & Mark Henry 

decimated 3MB on SmackDown. After an angry Big Show 

flattened Drew McIntyre with a resounding chokeslam, Heath 

Slater broke up the pin attempt – receiving a World’s 

Strongest Slam for his troubles. While he allowed McIntyre 

just enough time to get back to his feet, the only reward for 

Drew was a KO Punch! After pinning McIntyre, Big Show & 

Henry were “greeted” by WWE Tag Team Champions Seth 

Rollins & Roman Reigns, who promised to once again knock 

the colossal connection down. Big Show & Henry were 

“greeted” by WWE Tag Team Champions Seth Rollins & 

Roman Reigns, who promised to once again knock the 

colossal connection down.

ALBERTO DEL RIO DEF. CHRISTIAN

After their instant-classic confrontation at 

SummerSlam, Christian engaged in a rematch 

against World Heavyweight Champion Alberto 

Del Rio on SmackDown. Again placing 

Mexican flags in each corner, the titleholder 

looked to take down his Canadian counterpart, 

dominating the bout early on. Despite his 

heroic efforts after being flung, shoulder-first, 

into the steel ring post, the champion 

ultimately proved to be too much for the 

challenger, locking Christian into the Cross 

Armbreaker off the ropes to make his 

adversary tap out. When RVD made his way 

down the ramp, Christian blasted Del Rio with 

a missile dropkick, which RVD promptly 

followed up with Rolling Thunder on the 

Mexican champion.

DANIEL BRYAN DEF. WADE BARRETT IN A STEEL CAGE MATCH 

“Brutal” is a good descriptor for the main event battle that 

raged inside the steel cage, as Daniel Bryan and Wade 

Barrett beat each other like two caged animals. Still holding 

a grudge for Bryan shaving his beard, And in the final 

moments, Bryan sent Barrett crashing to the canvas with a 

crazy powerbomb. This set up an explosive knee to Barrett’s 

(clean-shaven) face. A three-count later and Bryan earned 

himself an impressive Friday night win. Just like at 

SummerSlam, however, Bryan’s post-match celebration was 

cut short by The Viper, as Randy Orton slithered out from 

beneath the ring and leveled Bryan with an RKO on the 

outside! WWE Title raised over his head and with Bryan at 

his feet, the image of a triumphant Orton sent SmackDown 

off the air.

BRYAN EMBARRASSED ORTON; WWE CHAMPIONSHIP REMATCH MADE

Just five days after The Biggest Party of the Summer, Daniel 

Bryan set his sights on WWE Champion Randy Orton before 

stepping into a steel cage against The Barrett Barrage; Big 

Show & Mark Henry rocked 3MB and World Heavyweight 

Champion Alberto Del Rio battled Christian in a rematch of 

their SummerSlam classic.vWhile Bryan emerged to praise 

the efforts of John Cena in Sunday’s WWE Title showdown, 

he quickly refuted Orton’s claim that he was "the face" of 

WWE, insisting that it was time for that face to change. The 

Bearded Superstar mocked how "pretty" and arrogant Orton 

is, reducing The Viper’s success to established in-ring 

lineage and the "genetic golden ticket" he was bestowed 

upon birth. Bryan then invoked his rematch clause, 

challenging Orton that very night on SmackDown! While the 

WWE Universe agreed, Orton said the former titleholder 

would have to wait until Night of Champions. When he tried 

to RKO Bryan, however, the journeyman grappler delivered 

a thundering dropkick that sent The Viper flying out of the 

ring!
