I know the Disciples of Death are supposed to have scary names but......Barrio Negro? I mean I guess some white folks are scared of black neighborhoods but that's pretty specific.

And then the baby will claim to have bodyslammed 1000 pound Andre the Giant to death and torn every muscle in his back in the process. Shit, I'm beating the wrong dead horse here.

Which ones? All I can think of are Drago vs. Pentagón Jr. which may have happened in LU but I can't remember, and Hero/Thatcher & Gulak/End which happened in Evolve over Mania weekend. Besides, does it matter? Hero vs Thatcher at PWG will be far different from their Evolve match, for example.

Wrestling is, was, and always will be a niche product except for the one time every 15 years when it bubbles up to the mainstream. Chasing people who don't like it and would only care about it if it looked like WWE's bright and shiny big top production is a losing proposition anyway. WWE is chasing off its own fans in droves with its bland offering. And come on. I've seen some bush league-looking venues. My favorite company only runs shows in a Reseda American Legion post, with 80s stereo speakers on the wall and a disco ball on the ceiling. ROH does not look bush league.

Moose is billed at 6'5" and 295, so he's probably legit 6'3 250 but still, there must be witchcraft at work as it's the only logical explanation for how someone that big can have a spear that shitty. I thought Terminal 5 looked very cool and "ROH's tapings look bush league" has gone from legit complaint to dumb talking point. Their lighting has gotten worlds better and their HD looks pretty swell. Meltzer saying no American fans will go for any wrestling that doesn't look like WWE is a pretty pointless argument, too, since only WWE can afford to look like WWE anyway. Besides, the way WWE looks is pretty bland and played out. I wish WWE would switch it up and shoot in different looking places, but that's KD for ya.

Troma has no time for that girl. His life, his love and his lady IS LUCHA.

Sort of. Also, Skyline was a pile of shit, while I enjoyed Battle: LA as "Black Hawk Down...with Aliens." It also holds the distinction of being the only movie in history that Michelle Rodriguez lives through. Yep, that's Movie Boxing for ya. It's nothing new, as we've lived through watching Rocky take 15 unprotected haymakers in a row while the ref stands there with his thumb in his ass.

On the car commercials tip, fuck every single Subaru commercial. What mechanic do Subaru owners go to in order to get their cars' "love" topped off?

Oh and I forgot to mention how eye-rollingly out of place the impossibly gorgeous Australian new inmate feels.

Scrolling right past Gregggg's posts is one of life's little pleasures.

NOOOOOO

Oh man I'm maybe 7-8 episodes in and NOTHING is happening. There's no really captivating major plot arc. "Piper's panty business" feels like it's something out of a different show entirely, especially her "rally the troops" speech. What the fuck? They're giving way too much time and plot to Crazy Eyes, probably because of her fan favorite status. "Oh, you enjoy this minor character? Well we'll ramp up her screen time 500% this season!" Either the show's creators 1) believe whole heartedly in the binge nature of this show and, thus, feel they don't need the standard serialization hallmarks and can treat the show like one 13 hour movie split into uneven parts or 2) they're way too pleased with themselves and feel they can do no wrong. Either way, this season is fucking baffling.

Of all the weeks for me to move and change cable providers to one that doesn't have El Rey. I hope I don't get introduced to Matanza for getting this show via other means.

Cool, I'll give the dude a second chance.

That all looks amazing, except for Galloway. I've seen his stuff in Evolve and he just bores me. Maybe I'm biased (like I am with Alberto) because he has the WWE style/WWE midcard stink on him. The Guerrilla Warfare match should be insane. Both members of Trevorette have proven they're ready to die for our amusement.

That's Eileen Whelan for the online stalkers out there

Trump/Hogan 2016

Is Bill Watts still alive?

(reads this post) "please call it the hogan dumpster fire thread oh please oh please"

I imagine all Vince has to do is send a text to Styles and Dunn that simply reads, "Benoit Protocol" and the scrubbing begins.

Hogan can use the n word because he is a person of color (that color being orange).

Did they just realize Owens is a dude of size? They hired the guy looking like that because he's a great wrestler with charisma to burn. The guy lost a little weight but he's never going to look like Vince's fantasy man. It's not like he was thin and then packed on 20lbs after he showed up on TV. This is WWE in a nutshell. No set direction...make a move and then change direction on it a few weeks later. Vince is a fucking loon. To answer the question, I think Punk said something to the effect of, "things will never get better until Vince dies." Also, it's amazing how, for two ostensibly straight males, Vince and Dunn spend an awful lot of time thinking about other men's bodies.

Gunkel looks like a young Al Franken. "You're going to win, Ray, because you're good enough, you're smart enough and gosh darn it, people like you."

it looks like watchwrestling.cc has them

Maybe AJ Styles is really "Jay Styles" but his parents named him in Pig Latin.
