The internet is to blame.

Zbyszko at least put himself over. Riley can't even do that. He's okay at giving impact to the moves but that's about it. We need a 'Riley reminisces about his times with da Miz' counter in the bottom right of the screen.

He mostly carries Japanese footage but also has hella rare stuff from Memphis, Portland, and other territories, including a collection of golden age footage from the '50s. He's got some old lucha as well. I received an update via email last month, even though it's probably been four or five years since I've ordered anything. Shoot him an email at jlynch779 at comcast dot net and I'm sure he'll add you to the list.
I'm interested, once I have some moneys, in purchasing some of his old Japan TV DVDs with commercial releases to fill out years that Dan Ginnetty hasn't yet done. Mostly mid-to-late '90s New Japan. Oh, yeah... Other than Lynch, Dan Ginnetty is your guy for Japanese DVDs.

Mexico wants an extra game to prepare for Brazil.

Braj, it's a plain jersey with a giant flag on it. How is that not an EA gener-o-jersey? That little white band around the left arm doesn't do enough to escape the comparison.

This ref is fucking with Clint on the pelanty. Walks in front of him twice and gets him to readjust the ball.
Game on.

Where's FSW? Dammit, son. This is the shit you live for.
Is the referee trolling yet?
About the only thing that hasn't gone right so far. Dude just booked a Costa Rican for diving in the box.

Costa Rica's starting to do FIFA '13 shit in their own half.
Better yet, they're closing down like madmen all over the pitch.

Well, this is about the worst start we could've hoped for.
Are you sure about that?

It looks like the generic national team jersey you get in NHL '99 or any EA NHL game for that matter.

Really enjoy all of Sullivan's KC releases. He's a blast to listen to.

The many faces of Phil Jones or Kikuchi, which is better?

Randy Anderson's reaction to Hogan submitting is the best. That guy was fantastic... WCW, in general, had great refs. Fuck Earl Hebner and his lame sliding tell on near falls.

A Dusty finish at NOC would be soooo good. Two PPVs in a row where Bryan has the title in hand only to lose it through nefarious means.
-
It would likely have been adopted from hockey. I don't think I've heard that called by British commentators, but who knows. Only ever hear the left/right/header combination referred to.
-
No, win the title and fight HHH to keep it.
Remember, the title is Triple H's property. He's just loaned it to Orton. So, yeah, this is the option that makes most sense.

Of course Jason Kidd will buy Jay-Z's stake in the Nets.

Foz is talking about a natural hat-trick in hockey.

My favourite part of the show was Stephanie implying that not only is Big Show a literal giant, but that giants are a separate species outside of homosapiens.
Yes, that was golden.
It makes me think of the Double J/Chyna feud way back when. I paraphrase, but Dubba J said something along the lines of "MEN... IS THE DOMINANT SPECIES," or so. Jeff is wonderfully trashy.
I don't get why Big Show is being reduced to tears over having to wrestle anyone who isn't his mother.
This cracks me up too. They weren't even friends like four weeks ago, were they? I guess it's less so Bryan and more so Show whoring himself to the McMahon-Helmsley corporation.
-
Also would note that it is incredibly idiotic to have Bryan even wrestling Orton this soon. Just completely awful. For all the slow burn talk - most of which I don't disagree with in principle - it seems unbelievably disingenuous to claim that this is all genius booking, slow burning, building for the long term, to a huge payoff, when they went and booked him in the main event v. Orton on the very next god damned ppv. It doesn't even make sense from a storyline perspective as the McMahon clan can do whatever the hell they want and there is no reason to believe waiving a rematch clause is outside the scope of their abilities. They could have easily booked him against Bully Ryback first, then maybe Reigns, then an Survivor Series team match where he gets the pin on Orton but not the title, et. People bitching about the people bitching because of three weeks of beatdown and citing slow burn and long term build, really ought to note that their version of "slow burn" and "long term build" is not what is usually meant when those terms are used.
I couldn't believe they hot shot the Orton/Bryan match so soon. That's been their biggest mistake in my opinion. I love this story and it's going to help a lot of guys out long term if the execution meets half its potential but there's no reason why they should have Bryan wrestle Orton at this stage. Make him go through the Shield in a decisive manner or something. Make him earn it. Running it now just makes the eventual screw job too obvious.
Randy Savage would have simply said "HHH, you can't fire the Macho Man!" and that would have been legally binding somehow as soon as Mean Gene said "There you have it. The Macho Man has spoken!"
"NO MORE FIRINGS," as he walks off camera.

I wish Dusty could come out whenever Cody returns and do a promo like this for him...
My favourite promo ever. Dusty is the best.
Agreed. This is just amazing stuff. I need to watch more pre-Hogan WCW.
-
"Let it simmah!"
Trips definitely adheres to the Kevin Sullivan school of booking for heat. Can't believe people want Bryan to win at Night of Champions. This needs to go on for a while. It could be executed better, sure, but the big picture stuff is getting done right.

It's said that Madrid didn't ratify the deal. Why would they loan him out anyway? Sell him or keep him.

"Missile" only applies when it's off the top though.
As a fan of pre-quad tear Trips, I didn't think much of the HIAC with Foley. Just a mess and it was never going to live up to the drama of the Rumble match or Foley's HIAC with Undertaker.
