  2. So I went to WreslteCade and the Fanfest that went along with it yesterday. I had a pretty darn good time. It was the largest indie show I'd ever been to (this place had about 1500 people in attendance, and the largest indie I'd seen before that drew about 50 people). I'm not much of an expert recapper, but I thought I'd share some thoughts that I joked my way through on Twitter last night. FanFest stuff: Reby Sky is trashy, but smells so nice that it makes her hot. Matt Hardy was a really nice dude. His eye creeps me out, though. Tully Blanchard was a nice dude. 7 year old me was so pissed off for shaking that asshole's hand. I asked Manny Fernandez about if dropping the knee on the Invader was a shoot or a work and he offered to knee drop me so I could find out. DDP was amazing. Really cool guy and I told him that I did DDP Yoga. We talked for ten minutes about my workout and he was very genuine and real. It didn't feel carny, unlike... The Rock and Roll Express (specifically Ricky Morton) are carny as fuck. I don't mean that in a negative way, I was flattered to be hustled out of $5 by one of the masters. Cody Hall was a nice dude. He was HUGE. We talked for a minute or two about the Iron Claw and how he wants to bring it back. I wanted to ask him why he's wearing his dad's old gear, but I didn't get around to it. I kept seeing the Boogie Woogie Man and every time I came up to him he was eating. I felt weird bothering that little old dude eating what looked to be a salad out of a ziplock bag, so I avoided him. A LOT of people called me brother, brother. I'm not used to large numbers of people around me that are into wrestling. I talk about it online, but in real life it's something I do alone. My wife will watch NXT with me because she hates Summer Rae, but that's about it. It was strange being at the fanfest because of this. During the intermission I ran over to a coffee shop where I saw a dude with a beard working. We talked about The Arcade Fire and that helped relax me. I guess I'm a self-loathing aging hipster. The Matches: Gunner defeated Robbie E (with Brooke Tessmacher). Before the matches started, I ran into Robbie and Miss Tessmacher coming i to the venue. Miss Tessmacher is so hot that I freaked out when I saw her and she smiled at me. I turned bright red and walked away. Gunner has a great look but he's so goddamn bland. Does he do anything hurty on TV? I know these guys were working light, but still. Robbie E is boring and I couldn't figure out if his act was supposed to be a comedy thing or a serious thing. Next up was a 5 way for the PWX title. Steve Corino, Sonjay Dutt, Hurricane Helms, Adam Page and Caleb Conely were all in this match together. It started out with a really funny Steve Corino promo. He lost immediately after putting up the mic. That's good, because Corino looks less imposing than my high school gym teacher. I've never understood his appeal. Sonjay Dutt was eliminated next. He is the most boring dude in the world. Hurricane was eliminated next. He was sort of there. Adam Page was sort of fun, but Caleb Conely came across well in the match and pulled out the win. I have no idea who the last two dudes were, but they were decent. There was some sort of women's clusterfuck with Maria Kannelis and Gillian Hall, but I barely paid attention to it. Hacksaw Dugan wrestled Davari, and I just feel bad for Hacksaw. His routine is just old and worn out. I will say that he was giving out Ho's during fanfest like Halloween Candy, meanwhile Tony Atlas wouldn't do his laugh for $5. Asshole. Davari was ripped to the gills. The largest part of the card was a giant tag team guantlet match. The less said about the beginning the better. It was neat seeing the Rock and Rolls wrestle, and them coming out with Boogie was one of the best moments of my life, but Jesus Christ there was some bad workers in this match. Buff Bagwell was shitty, and Rick Steiner managed to be even worse, and Demolition was hands down the most depressing thing that I've ever seen. Manny Fernandez was old and barely touching people, and George South played heel while wearing trunks with "I Love Jesus" on the back of them. An old dude sitting near me remarked that he couldn't cheer against him because of that. I laughed. Two teams that I've never heard of, C&C Wrestle Factory and the Bravados, wrestled the last bit of the gauntlet match and it was pretty good. They put on a good match with lots of facial selling and some smartly worked spots. I like C&C a lot. During the intervention I met Mr. Feinstein (or someone that looks just like him) from the video company. I didn't realize that it was him at first. Finally it all clicked. I was going to buy the Jim Crockett Promotions documentary from him when temptation got the best of me. I asked how much the DVD was, and he said $30. I replied back "lol, I'll pretend you said $18" and started laughing. He claimed to have not heard me. I walked away quickly and bought the DVD from Highspots. The last two matches was a Tommy Dreamer/CW Anderson I Quit Match and a Matt Hardy/Carlito ladder match. The Dreamer match was guys that wanted to work light and have a hardcore match at the same time. Dreamer won, and after it was over and he left the ring the remaining guys tried to make the crowd give CW Anderson a standing ovation. They weren't having it. Matt Hardy is the new Ricky Morton. That lazy eyed psycho will be able to tour the Carolinas and make money off of lower-middle-class trailer park women until the day he dies. It's pretty incredible. With that being said, he is a boring as fuck worker. He throws a decent punch, but that's about it. The less said about Carlito the better.

  8. I may be in the minority but I think Orton is a fantastic wrestler. He has a clean effective move set that looks like it hurts.. He's got a million dollar look and tons of heel intensity. Ortons faults are that his mic work is below average and the WWE can't book a heel long term to save its life. If Orton was booked the way Lesnar has been booked wed look at the guy much differently. Keep him quiet and always have him appear dangerous. It's that simple. Instead we have to constantly hear him cut long promos. The moment he opens his mouth it takes something away from his persona. We have to see him win with screwy finish after screwy finish with the aid of a villainous authority figure. This take away his credibility as a serious threat. In the ucoming tlc match, has WWE given any reason for the viewer to think Orton will unify the titles in a fair fight? That's on creative, not Orton.

  12. Want to talk someone to beat UT's streak? Bray Wyatt -- or Harper as his henchman -- is the man for the job. The potential for The Wyatt Family is essentially limitless. Harper's already an absolute beast of a worker. Rowan's already solid and far from the worst guy on the roster. They have an amazing theme song. They have the best entrance. The audience cue they have is maybe the best "OH DAMN!" cue they've had since Austin's glass breaking. Bray's a damn good worker and is very much like Taker in that he wrestles so well as that character. And Bray's already the best interview in the WWE. His stuff is so layered and deep and mesmerizing. His character also doesn't need a title to be interesting. And the way a religious cult works, all he has to do is have his minions take people somehow or have his current followers attack someone straying from the flock for this stuff to work. And here's the thing I've no doubt said 50 times on here by now -- Bray is 26-years-old. He's still a baby. He's already this good. WTF is this guy going to be like after he wrestles a bunch of house shows with Bryan and Punk and everyone else? The Undertaker's the best character in WWE history. They ran so many things through him for decades. The guy can barely walk anymore and still have the biggest slot -- and deservedly so -- at WrestleMania. Bray legit has that potential, I think.

  13. All part of his devious machinations. It really makes me question if trolling people is worth my time. Let us know if you do give it up. We wanna hang your number from the rafters. uh, yeah, his number.... A hanging joke after a Benoit post. Really?

  21. Orton's problem isn't the PG thing. The PG thing has been around for 5 and half years. Orton's problem is every guy who couldn't be a top tier guy had/has: His comfort zone is incredibly small. Once someone else comes around, they better not be better at something Orton does badly. Or you realize how much Orton can't do. Punk is the same way.

  28. Well, it didn't take long for people to jump on their high horse on FB. "HEY ALL YOU FUCKS SAYING R.I.P. TO A CELBRITY HOW ABOUT R.I.P TO THE TROOPS!" I fucking hate people. What do our troops have to do with Paul Walker or any celebrity that passes? I guess I can see the concept in that some people devote much time and energy to entertainment instead of "real life" but who cares? How is it any of your fucking business how anyone chooses to live their life? It is entirely possible for me to feel sad for the troops AND for others who pass.

  37. Especially when there are kids involved. Everyone seems to be forgetting that a teenage girl will be crying herself to sleep for a very long time, I imagine. No one should lose a parent like that. I think we can all sympathize with that.

  38. It was a great moment. A lot of people were expecting Dolph to cash in the night before when Del Rio retained. Him doing so at Mania would have been a huge moment, and the fact WWE didn't pull the trigger on this, kind of spelt out how they felt about Dolph and his ability to last. I like Dolph. I know it's been cool for a while for the "high post count club" to slag him off, talk about his hair and his awesome bumps as if that were a negative and all he brings to the table, but I maintain he wasn't given a fair chance. There was no black and white babyface turn, and he was booked like a chump. When Del Rio turned heel on him and took the belt, we should have seen Dolph chase it back giving the fans a reason to care and get invested. Nobody got that and Dolph fell off the radar for all purposes. He's now just somebody who does an overly contrived entrance and is booked in matches where it doesn't really matter if he wins or loses. I'm a believer you need to give it time to see if somebody sinks or swims. The thought that Dolph cannot swim is preconceived in my book. Oh come on. Ziggles has been on the main roster for at least 5 years now and all everyone talks about is his bumping. Not his money promos or storylines. Not his *amazing* hurty offense. Just the fact that he is willing to bounce his own head off the mat. He has never been the center of his feuds for a reason. That being said, I been reliving a happier time in wrestling when it was all about knocking the shit out of someone. If you can find me a better punch in wrestling, I will show you a CM Punk 15 minute tirade I am willing to listen to.

  39. Because there's some stigma that the women on TV right now are only there because they are models.. When in reality, looks matter to everyone on the roster. But I think Total Divas have helped the women get more air time. Instead of quick 90 second matches, they are giving them 5 minute matches. And I do think more are fun to watch than not. Brie has made the most of her longer matches: Only problem is that the WWE has trained it's audience to think women are useless. Most people watching or giving reviews to the matches aren't willing to be objective about a divas match. Unless AJ is involved, then it just gets fucking creepy being that she looks like a little kid to me. As great as that dropkick was, the lack of response was equally terrible.
