[What You're Watching, 2015!]

So i stumbled upon this.

I have no idea how aware you guys are of this, but it thought it was really cool. Not so much for Mascaras, but all the other guys really came through. You can really tell Fujiwara has an absolute blast being out there, plus the fans went WILD for Terry. Maybe there's too much nostagia stuff out there nowadays, but this was done right.

[Purotopia Catch-All Thread 2014]

I just watched this tag match from last November.... I think Fujinami may be reaching Backlundian levels of freakish physical fitness for a 60 year old dude. Save a few wrinkles he looks EXACTLY the same. Incredible.

[APRIL WRESTLING DISCUSSION THREAD]

Damn that's a good brawl. I chuckled at Bob Caudle calmly stating that they had now completely lost control over their own show.

[The Steve Austin Show]

 

I dunno why I didn't think of it at the time, but how the hell did Austin confuse Eric Young with James Storm? He's met Eric Young. Interviewed him in person at 316 Gimmick Street even.

 

Austin takes a lot of swigs of beer for the working man.

In his defense... With that much enthusiasm for RATS and DEER HUNTER 2014 ans DIET RED BULL and shit like that, I think we'd all get confused on basic wrestling facts from time to time.

[Examining post-prime wrestlers]

 

Rick Martels WCW run in 1998 came out of nowhere and had an excellent string of matches before he blew his knee out.

 

Holy shit, yes.  I remember being a huge fan of the Martel comeback.  He was in fantastic shape and really delivering in the ring.

 

 

I should add, he said in a local radio interview that he got BOTH hips done just a few years after his final run. Dude was hurting but he went all out.

[Walking Tall Moments MEGATHREAD]

There's a specific one with bare-chested Watts coming in at the end with a taped-up head and a baseball bat, with Jim Ross going nuts on commentary, that I wasn't able to find recently. Come to think of it that might as well have been a weekly event back then.

[2014 WWE Hall Of Fame]

Shit what did Carlito do? I missed it

[NOV WRESTLING CHIT CHAT THREAD]

Mad Dog Vachon died this morning :-/ http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2013/11/21/21283811.html

[Sept Wrestling Jibber Jabber Thread]

Punk must be a physical wreck right now. Throw in the fact that he famously won't take painkillers, and the guy must be in total agony most of the time.

 

It's not surprising he's been banged up lately but... He's been looking miserable for around 6 months, the coup de grace being the Taker match. I don't know if any amount of time off can fix him at this point.

[Raw 9-16-13]

Unless they make a u-turn in the near future, this angle is gonna end up with some crazy wingspan, I love it.

[[SEPTEMBER] WRESTLING PHOTO THREAD]

Wonder if Hillbilly Jim has been hitting the gym...

[AUGUST WRESTLING DISCUSSION THREAD]

Let's talk about R Truth....come on he is a vet, can talk, had a main event In Your House program with Cena and nailed it. Wtf?

I believe I agree with that. Also thought they dropped the ball on Miz&R-Truth: Lead Pipe Terrorists.

[[AUGUST] WRESTLING PHOTO THREAD]

It's 2013 and this may be the pro-wrestlingest Terry Funk picture I've ever seen, amazing.
