  1. Man fwiw I loved Jericho/AJ. Their series is just nice to me. Every match built on the previous ones in ways the announcers don't even always catch, and it makes me feel like they are just having fun with it. Nothing too complex or anything, but just nice, thought out, generally pleasing matches with a little progression from each one to the next. And they put AJ over huge the next day. I also expected him to win at Mania, but it makes sense to me that they're not gonna put the new guy over at their top event right after he comes in and it's just weird to see people outraged about that, like you're still after all of this time getting angry when WWE doesn't follow your fantasy booking. Like the Ryder win, which turned out just to be a gateway to Maryse returning, Miz getting the belt and Sami/Owens moving up. Not that it wouldn't have been a NUCLEAR pop if Sami had won, but you can't deny Ryder deserved that brief moment of big glory. I don't know.
  2. That's me on live commentary, I miss those days
  3. oh man that hurts to lay eyes upon.. I rented mine to a dutch wrestler who ended up never even playing it and losing it in some box in some storage facility after changing houses - had all the names and outfits changed, too..
  4. I just realized Muscle Sakai really looks like Mr. Satan duhh duh duhhhhhh
  5. the fergall devitt docu has some stuff about his dojo time I mean watch it anyway you know
  6. oh yeah I spotted KUSHIDA from the future at Wrestle Kingdom, maybe he came back to relive his title match I mean ain't that some shit??
  7. Is this how people are coping? There's always these fantasy scenarios when a good worker sells out but how can you remotely entertain anything remotely like this to happen?
  8. yeah I can't wait to see what these guys can do in 7 minute NXT matches!!!!!! how oddly idealistic.. did you expect the same matches as outside WWE?
  9. Striker will talk through a big spot to rectify something he said about 2000s JAPW half an hour ago also I couldn't watch Styles/Nak, I could not bring myself to watch it - just fucking go
  10. it's getting tiring for me giant bernard made into a superstar - bye prince devitt - ok bye machine gun and another dude who already got booted before - later non-WWE king of US wrestling brought to replace devitt as BC leader and blossomed into top gaijin main eventer - ok see you have fun on midcards at full sail university as JJ Myles next thing fucking HHH will sign Ishii and have him work lighting at house shows it's like fuck you Imma take all your favorite shit and make it suck
  11. Oh, give me a fucking break. Literally 12 people probably pull that "Rock isn't black on a technicality" bullshit and actually believe it. And Mark Henry and Booker T's title reigns were so awesome, I literally couldn't tell you who had the other belt when they were champs (Cena? Orton?.) Both of them took what they had and not only did they fucking run with it, the bookers ran with it too. You act like when they were "given" it (which, wait, what?), that they were then treated like they were Rey Mysterio. Mark Henry murdered everybody and King Booker was far and away the champion I actually remember.Sorry. Done. I dont believe Vince is walking around backstage ranting like Hulk Hogan or Donald Trump. Im just saying that there has never been a black WWE champion and, given the demographics of the US, that feels like an odd thing to have never had. Is it though? African-Americans make up roughly 12% of the U.S. Population. Demographic-wise there's a disproportionate number of African-Americans on the roster. I personally don't understand why this talking point seems to constantly pop up. Why aren't we having conversations instead about the lack of Asian WWE champs? They make up 5% of the U.S. Population and are comically underrepresented on the roster. The only "Asian" champ WWE champ ever had was Polynesian. To make this statistic more embarrassing is there is an entire Japanese wrestling scene with hundreds of trained wrestlers and yet they can't even get on the WWE roster let alone dream of a championship. Obviously the signing of Itami and Asuka may be the sign of a sea change but it's still a joke. yoshi tatsu kung fu naki indeed ching chong potato that's why
  12. fuck you for multiple reasons
  13. so nice to see joey ryan and dino randomly going viral as fuck what's the last time a bunch of mainstream shits picked up on a wrestling meme? that osirian portal dance video?
  14. Wow damn, how do you stick around with someone like that for so long? "Going into a bout of depression" after Honma said some shit on TV. Dude needs to get out of that shit.
  15. It is corporate commercial shilling with some very simplified formulaic wrestling sprinkled in that has to adhere to the sponsors' wishes. NXT is a flashy, watered down, formulaic idea of indy wrestling appropriated by a giant corporation in order to make money, that waits for people to get super dope outside of WWE then buys them, limits them and puts them in wacky backstage promos where you have a former GHC champion doing slapstick interviews after his 4 minute match. I don't get the attention it gets. I try to get into WWE/NXT from time to time but it's so much easier and satisfying to like, watch some Hashimoto matches on Youtube.
  16. I am apathetic towards TNA but it's just funny that this exact post could have been posted a year ago, 2, 3, 4, 5, all the way to 10 years ago, and probably was it's the little cockroach y'all just love to keep hating
  17. I remember marking out huge for this spot. That was a hell of a match. this gif made me think of watching my best of tanaka/awesome tape back in the day, I was just on a permanent mark out the whole tape through
  18. The irresistible force vs. the immovable object. ... no wait it's a box vs. a robot, sorry
  19. Being Yang and Paul London that was almost 100% planned for sure. that would be.. well, a lot of things other than smart and responsible
  20. You know they are heavily produced by agents right
  21. ....................................... heavy metal?! lol I have such giant gaps in my knowledge of WWF history
  22. is there a little sayama in there or did he nab it from wos?
