    It's not my story to tell, but @Cristobal actually met Misawa. As for me, whilst I was always a Kawada guy first, so much of what made Kawada great was because of Misawa. Greatness calls to greatness. Although I've come to love the young and hungry Misawa who struggled to overcome the mountain that was Jumbo Tsuruta, probably more than I love the golden god and Ace of the World Misawa. The head drop epidemic was very much a bad thing, and still is.

    Well, ran into, more like. I went to the second show that Pro Wrestling Iron (the promotion Michael Modest and Donovan Morgan briefly started after their fallout with APW owner Roland Alexander around King of the Indies) had, got there early to beat I-80 traffic, and as I walked out, passed him and Yoshinari Ogawa on their way in. I did a full double take. Misawa and Ogawa, who were unannounced, teamed against Doug Williams and Vinnie Massaro. (Vinnie couldn't stop smiling even when he was selling)

    EDIT: Unsurprisingly, Vinnie still remembers that, too:

    So you know how the UK Government is introducing legislation to stop under 18s from accessing adults only websites? The way they're doing it is, everyone who wants access has to go to a shop and buy a pass (for ten quid!), and the person working behind the counter will verify their age. Whether they turned 18 yesterday of fifty years ago, everyone is in the no pass = no access.

    Well. Guess who's shop is going to be selling passes? Yeah. My shop. And I do all the late shifts*, when the sleazebags are awake. This is going to be awesome! I have power of attorney over the whole town's Porn consumption!

    * Five out of seven, anyway.

    Astonishing that the minds behind this scheme can't figure out how to Brexit.

    I'm pretty sure @Cristobal only watches WWE stuff. But he's not been around much (in threads I've been in). And I've not seen him in GTA because I stopped playing it really late at night all the time.

    I only watch fetish wrestling videos, youtube videos of backyard wrestlers falling off of roofs, and NXT UK.

    Graves said something along the lines of, "these guys are really vikings! They make their own weapons and eat raw meat!"

    I sat there after hearing what was obviously fed to him and thought it was the dumbest thing I ever heard.

    I spent an hour in stunned disbelief at how terrible the name was, (well ok I spent like eight minutes in disbelief and the other fifty-two cooking up jokes about it) and then I'm like "alright this is trash but I'll bet the match is gonna be fun" and then Graves said that line and I went nope and turned off the show.

    I remember people saying how they enjoyed Asuka/Bayley from NXT TakeOver: Dallas 2016 more on a second viewing, myself included. Asuka/Bayley were unfortunate following Nakamura vs. Zayn. That's still the best NXT swansong from NXT to main roster.

    I think Zayn still holds up as arguably the greatest NXT run of anyone, bar none.

    Are they paying people less now? I remember a comment years ago Punk made about Shannon Moore being able to afford by a $300K house. Moore would have been a slightly lower position than Enzo during a less money making period, and I would imagine lives a modest lifestyle.

    Moore made about $200K in 3 years of WCW, then worked another 5 years or so in two stints at WWE. If he lived frugally, it's pretty easy to see him having $50K from his WCW run, and $50K/year from WWE.
