Schneider could sell ice to the Inuit with the way he describes matches. I sometime wish I could watch wrestling with his eyes, mind, and heart.

When I made my Reese's peanut butter cup of abusive toxicity comment, I forgot that Ari fucking Emanuel is also involved.

They were the scariest heels to me back then, just violent and crazy. It blew my mind when they became the Bushwhackers and made me laugh when some of my friends who only knew WWF wouldn’t believe that they were just on TV as bloodthirsty bad guys.

I mean, I did watch most of the 3/23 episode that someone posted on YouTube so that's close

I did not see ROH (is it technically Free TV) but I did see Zero Hour and I really liked Takeshita-Willie Mack so that got my vote. Better than Soup-Sammy and while I really liked Omega-Cobb I just liked the very similar Soup-Mack more.

Shortpacking of female characters goes back decades and was definitely a big thing for flippers (or scalpers as we called them then).

WWE definitely likes to tell their independent contractor "superstars" that the brand is what sells tickets, not them.

I mean there’s your Mark Cubans and then there’s your Dan Snyders.

It’s like a Reese’s peanut butter cup of sports entertainment conglomerates owned by abusive, toxic billionaires.

I was under the impression that a chancla was strictly for the abuelas and madres to use.

I imagine it’s in the ROH thread (I’m not reading because I don’t want spoilers) but Dante Martin having a catastrophic injury right when they seemed destined for their first title run really sucks for them.

They open with the best match on the card and it delivers. Sammy’s heeling keeps Soup’s bombs from dropping all at once. Sammy didn’t base well for the dove, you’d think he’d have learned. Not a clean win, but one of these days they needs to give Takeshita a big TV win. Poor Hobbs. I’ll never see anything storyline-wise for him. QT latching onto Hobbs’ heat sure is something. HoB vs. Best Friends was pretty good, always enjoy seeing King and Trent and Malakai not doing the mist makes me dislike him a little less and I do enjoy hIs various kicks and knees. Interesting to have a DQ given the kind of outside the ring stuff that usually is allowed. Marina is interesting because she is going to wrestle an awkward shootstyle and force her opponent to carry her through a match and force her into positions. So yeah that match kinda sucked. I guess Taya and Jade will be good. Screech vs Flip Twisterson could headline any high school gym and community center in the country! Probably best left for a Dark main event. There was nothing wrong with it, but it wasn’t the least bit interesting. I laughed at Anna Jay’s “I have a fat ass and a bad attitude” because I’m not sure either of those is true.

ROH revamp booking is the firmest evidence that TK still at least monitors DVDVR.

Intrigue, however...

In other positive news, you can still get a shot of penicillin to cure the clap but herpes is still forever.

I was fantasy booking live on FB and said I wanted BCC to run in and beat the shit out of Cole and someone said “as long as it doesn’t lead to Bobby Fish” and I said “no, Kyle O’Reilly is going to run in and then turn on Cole and join BCC”

The main difference is that now it’s balanced against “the champion is a special attraction who talks for 10 minutes a week and wrestles for 10 minutes every 6 weeks”

Was about fucking time

Maybe this should go on the main wrestling board and hopefully bring in a lot of the OG DVDVR contributors and old school RSPW folks, but I feel like this deserves some reflection.

The other guy did 95% of the work in that move, and I rarely complain about things that require a ton of cooperation

A 20-minute tag match where the first 10 minutes, including a PiP break, are just Penta and Jarrett spamming their taunts back and forth.

The house format has gotten pretty stale for sure, and I no longer think they have a need for a trios belt.

WHAT DEAN~! SAID!

Also, FFS y'all, watch Rocky. It's the ultimate gritty underdog movie, it's as much about Rocky as an avatar for a city as it is about a person.

I was going to say, I'd already have her in the top 5ish from the little I've seen in her YouTube matches.
