- WWE Hall of Famer Edge used to be considered one of the best at putting together a match among his peers. Among the current group of WWE stars, CM Punk and Chris Jericho have that reputation but it's said that Daniel Bryan is starting to get it. Of the newer guys, Dean Ambrose is starting to develop a good reputation.

It's like they just now understood how great Bryan is in the ring..he was ahead of Edge years before Edge ever got decent in the ring on the top level. Of course Jericho can put matches together..he's been doing the shyt for 20 fukking years

New Japan Pro Wrestling has released the full line-up for their "Dominion" Pay-Per-View on June 22 in Osaka, Japan. Included are several North American and European stars in key matches:

- NWA champion Rob Conway will defend the NWA World Title against Nakanishi.

- Former IWGP tag champions Lance Archer & Davey Boy Smith, Jr. will get their Tag Title re-match in a three-way match.

- Former IWGP Jr. Hvt. tag champions Alex Shelley & KUSHIDA will get their re-match against new champions Alex Koslov & Rocky Romero.

- Former WWE wrestler Shelton Benjamin is scheduled to team with Minoru Suzuki in tag action.

- In the two main events, IWGP Jr. Hvt. champion Prince Devitt will face former IWGP World Hvt. champion Tanahashi. Devitt, who won the Best of the Super Juniors tournament on Sunday, says he wants to advance into the Heavyweight ranks and still hold onto the IWGP Jr. Hvt. Title.

In the final main event, former TNA wrestler Okada will defend the IWGP World Title against Makabe.

- During an appearance on last Friday's PWTorch Livecast radio*show, former WCW champion Diamond Dallas Page commented on Daniel Bryan's current hot streak. DDP compared Bryan to the likes of Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero, saying that Bryan's height is a non-factor when he's undeniably connecting with fans:"I caught Raw last week or the week before - he was out there with Kane and (Randy) Orton and The Shield, and I don't care if he's 5'7" or 6'9", that son-of-a-b---- was as big and bad and electric and more over than anyone out there.""It's real and it's very Eddie Guerrero-ish. And Chris Benoit-ish. Where the fans say, 'This guy loves what he's doing.' And if he never made it to The Show, I think he would have been, 'Wow, I would have loved to have done that, but I had a hell of a time in Iowa with (C.M.) Punk tearing it down.' You gotta make sure you love it."

WCW was such a legit competitor to WWF

- We noted before that CM Punk appeared on stage at a Rancid concert this past week. Lars from the band joked about creating a new theme song for Punk's return to WWE. This led to online talk that Punk would be getting a new theme but it was reported Lars was just joking around. Now, apparently there is talk within WWE that Punk will be getting a new theme. We will see at tonight's Payback pay-per-view.
