  1. In defense of Sabremike, here is a partial list of things I've said that I couldn't possibly love more on this board: 1) Brodus Clay dancing like a dinosaur 2) This Batista outfit that looks like he's showing up to audition for "Lorenzo Lamas Body Double" but no one told him it's a joke audition 3) Dolph Ziggler as a heel 4) This Batista outfit based on Roddy Macdowell's 1973 post-Oscar's orgy suit 5) Cody Rhodes, supervillain 6) This Batista outfit that he wore at the 2014 "If Pablo Picasso fucked Simon Cowell and made you watch" festival Note: he is leaving is pinky out so you can see the boss-ass skull ring he got in the teen section at Claire's 7) Eve Torres So anyone saying they love anything on a message board is not evidence of anything rational happening inside that person.

  2. Memo to WWE: Turn Rusev and English face and make them a main event act. Its like a licence to print money.

  4. Seemed to me like Cormier was putting wrestling over. The Bucks are trash. I like flying wrestling, RVD and Sabu are all time favorites. But I need some danger and impact. I don't think I have seen a good Bucks match in three years. That said, I'm not looking very hard either. It feels like synchronized swimming or gymnastics. I appreciate the athleticism but have no desire to watch it.

  5. Meltzer: "Old men said "XYZQ" about that thing back then so if patterns repeat then today, which they will, a bunch of new old men will probably say "XYZQ" about this. Let's put down some old man bait and see..." Old man: "XYZQ XYZQ XYZQ XYZQ!!!!!!!!!!"

  7. I find the Bucks entertaining. Their schtick is fun. But at the same time I prefer my pro wrestling more physical, less "choreographed gymnastic routine". Its all about compartmentalizing.

  9. No, just no. The Young Bucks are just Hardy Boys cosplayers. That's all they are. To compare them to anyone important is laughable.

  10. I heard John Pollack and Wai Ting bring this up on their podcast and its true. The Bucks invite and I am sure wish for the responses from corny/MMA guys etc because they know the attention it will bring them and they know how to cultivate it. And really that's what they have to do. They're true independent wrestlers and let's be real, neither was ever going to be Strowman or Reigns on Raw. IMO, what they have done, the money they have made and the niche they have created without any major company marketing help makes them some of the smartest people in wrestling history. And that's really outside their wrestling style or whether I like their matches.

  11. I feel sorry for people who have a single solitary idea what wrestling should be and who hate anything that differentiates from it. I have literally never failed to be entertained by a Young Bucks match, and judging by the money they are drawing the public agrees. I think it's ironic that a guy who grew up on Memphis wrestling that was built on goofy and silly stuff (Lawler vs The Wolfman anyone?) could knock modern wrestling for not being real enough (and before one of you busts a blood vessel I am NOT putting down Memphis. The exact opposite actually as I enjoyed the silly and crazy stuff). And people have selective memories about some older stuff being this incredibly believable product: when they were doing the original Wrestling Gold series with footage from the 70's and 80's a lot of it they couldn't use because it just looked so bad by modern standards.

  12. You're right that fandom operates this way, but it's such a weird phenomenon to me, honestly. Of course there can be no objective truths about subjective performance, but "People are getting excited about a thing, so other people need to hate it in equal measure" is just logically incoherent. People can hate whatever, but it's the application of causality that confuses me. Positive fan responses don't actually require a backlash.

  13. Jinder fucking brought it tonight . That was no carry job, that’s AJ bringing out the best in a guy who had something to prove. That’s why Styles is the best.

  16. Also, I'm very much enjoying Samoa Joe playing the role of final boss in a martial arts movie who's killed all of the heroes family and/or friends, so they all fight each other to get to him. Then he escapes in a puff of smoke.

  17. One thing that was really fucking stupid. All the women are completely fed up with Absolution. So they are all brawling and it's this blood feud and shit but then Steph's music hits and they all stop like the fucking high school principal just showed up and threatened suspension. Terrible.

  21. Jinder/AJ was good, but Christ did the crowd not care at all until the Khallas and kick out, which I swear got an actual crowd sized sigh of relief. The tag division is crazy loaded, but after tonight they have to be planning to put the belts on Rusev Day. That crowd was insane for them. Most over act of the night be a few miles. The part where we had two face in peril sequences going at once was... Unique? They need to turn Roode yesterday (although he was pretty over) and prep him for AJ. I don't know what the fuck was going on in that women's match but it was awful beyond words. Career match got ate up by story, but oh well. If they think the crowd is going to side with Shane over KO, Sami, AND Bryan, then Vince is crazy enough to try anything. Like bringing back the XFL.

  22. And Bryan got some dad practice tonight: Shane: Alright that's enough boys, back in the ring. I said GET BACK IN THE RING. Bryan: You heard your mom, guys, back in the ring now. Shane: And you, hey! Get down from there GET DOWN FROM THERE RIGHT NOW! Bryan: Yeah, guys, guys, when she says get down you get down.

  23. If only I was as loyal to Dave Batista as you are to Dave Meltzer I would never have made fun of the time Batista dressed as the Untuckit-com guy going for a drive in 1917.

  25. Since you decided to bring me into this, I love Meltzer because there is literally nobody who I've learned more about Wrestling from than him. The Observer is amazing, if it wasn't it wouldn't still be around after 27 years. I make ZERO apologies for liking and respecting Dave Meltzer.

  27. The thing I don't understand here is that what the Young Bucks do is NOTHING like what Omega, Okada or the bulk of NJPW is like. You can't really compare the Bucks to the bulk of NJPW. It's two different things

  28. TFA was sooo safe. It was decent but it doesn't have much replay value for me. TLJ has a couple more head-scratching scenes but it also has a ton of way more interesting stuff than TFA. Rogue One is still my shit. So fucking great.

  29. Absolutely terrifying. The look in Vince's eyes (and they look like they're going in opposite directions) and Shane looks like you could put a Michael Myers mask over him and it would be the same. And then you get to thinking what's going through their heads at that very moment...

  30. To Fuck With People Who Have Fucked With You. The noblest reason of all. (also Kaep would not actually have the money to be a majority owner. And bear in mind we are discussing a "magical" world here. )

  34. That's usually the case. Cornette buried the entirety of Lucha Underground based on a 2 minute clip. Jim Cornette is such an inspired wrestling mind that nobody can remember when his booking and promoting actually drew money to give him credibility.

  35. I doubt the reaction would be as severe if the hyperbole about the NJPW guys wasn't so strong in the first place - I can't escape conversation about The Young Bucks, and people lose their shit about Omega being the greatest wrestler on Earth and act like Meltzer backing it up validates their claims as objective truth.

  36. It definitely is at least Jerry trying to dictate who he can sell too as opposed to being forced to sell the team to whoever the league wants.

  40. The idea of Vince McMahon starting a football league because there are people who think the NFL isn't violent enough and isn't politically reactionary enough for their tastes is the most Starship Troopers thing to happen in real life since Paul Verhoeven made Starship Troopers.

  41. I don’t buy this whole “Bock was gonna be Mr. Perfect “ bullshit. Bock was done then. And if any of you dum dums are actually shitting on Nick Mother Fucking Bockwinkel...Wow. I blame Trump. Because only the sub intelligent population who spend their precious moments away from their sad and depressing lives at the Wrestling Matches, would be booing a man like Nick Bockwinkel. A man who is clearly the better of all other men. These Ham and Eggers, as Bobby is prone to say, are so blinded by their preconceived notions and the utter flim flamery of Verne Gagne and the flawed opinions of the rest of the so called “ Leaders” of Professional Wrestling Criticism “ that they can’t see what’s right in front of their sad and confused faces. And that is the clear and undeniable fact that Nick Bockwinkel Fucking rules.
