W.O.W. - Women of Wrestling (New Incarnation)

I was cool with it last season but it's just so goddamn hokey. -
IMPACT is still around in 2019...

As long as it's not Sammy Hagar, his ass is already on that channel way too much -
Two Terre Haute memories: 1. Going up to a show and having a guy think the Oi band closing the show were a bunch of Nazis (even though the singer was wearing a Conflict shirt), so this dude literally yanks the plank of wood serving as the handrail for the stairs off and wields it like a weapon. I'm standing outside and this just happens out of nowhere. I think dude ran off after that. 2. Going up to play a show and discovering the venue was a roller rink and little kids start filing in with their moms. We politely bow out and go drink in somebody's basement the rest of the night in order to avoid a serious scene, as some crusty hardcore punk band setting up and playing was NOT going to fly. EDIT: I don't blame the guy with the club because the residents of Terre Haute are just as shitty as Marion, IL's fellow population (and hey, both towns have big prisons, what a coincidence)

Yeah I knew it was her, it's just weird is all. Well, considering it's Art, probably not. -
Indy's nice and I've got friends out there, the problem is it's built in one big fucking circle so driving is a hassle. And the places around it in Indiana that I've been, like Terre Haute, Gary... let's just say it's bad and leave it at that. I've never had a problem with Chicago in what, 15-20 years of driving up for shows or just to stay with friends. South Side, North Side, wherever.

I made my dad take me to see Tank Girl when I was a kid. He HATED it.

[SEPT 2019] WRESTLING PICTURE THREAD

I didn't think anybody remembered that tape. I rented it as a kid and it was pretty poor. The women's match ended with a powerbomb though, which was unexpected. -

I know what you're getting at, but that pretty well defeats the purpose That also reminded me of that dumbass Lanny Poffo wearing a suit of armor to the ring in a come-as-you-are battle royale. It was on that WWF's Even More Unusual Matches VHS that had like no good matches on it. -
I already brought up him moving to line cook at the O'Charley's. That fits pretty perfectly.
-
I don't think that moonsault had any actual contact. That was one of the strangest things I've seen in the ring.

Man, they were Dead. Fucking. Silent. during the Rey match. It kind of pissed me off.

I was laughing my ass off at that Lighthouse trailer until that one part came out of nowhere and scared the crap out of me. Also, after reading the Ebert.com review of it now I cannot unsee Dafoe as the Sea Captain from The Simpsons.

Muta needs to come in vs. Joey Janela in AEW. It's only been three years since that, right? He can still spit some stuff and only bump off his finish. -
Jake Roberts would have convinced YOU to buy the eight ball But yeah, definitely Jake Roberts

This is when you run. Seriously, when the photo of a kid in high school football puts fear in you... -

To make up for being a dick about that match, here's some Cassandro and something that has to be good. Oh, and hearing that Superstar promo cold out of nowhere playing on the other browser while I was looking for something to post was BALLER. -

Ah. I skipped over the beginning so if they mentioned the titles, I didn't see it. -

Wow, this one... this one sucked. If you want an example of why people don't get into lucha, here you go: Multiple refs. Ring inactivity. Bullshit with the seconds. Lazy, bored-seeming work. Falls ending out of nowhere. It felt like all six guys (I'm counting the refs in this case) came here to get paid to not do much and then went home. I could be overstating the case, but I didn't like this match. EDIT: I think I can sum my opinion up with a phrase: mediocrity is poison. -
DING DING DING Him and Mark Lewin, together. It would be the funniest trip down memory lane ever. But modern day? Keith Lee. Or as mentioned prior to this conversation, Sabu. Now drinking with somebody -- and I am a fairly mellow drunk who prefers talking over any reckless behavior -- take your pick. Fuck it, probably Harley.

Well, this is embarrassing: I forgot Gene Wilder had died, posted a post and a thread about it because some idiot had done the same on Facebook, and here we are now. Anyway, here's Gene Wilder. FML Kids, don't drink. Stick with weed like RVD EDIT 17487849: Aaaaaaaand this hit a bunch of people too apparently. Which just makes me slightly less stupid than everybody else. Right?

There was something in his book where he did that spot and something went very wrong, and I remember it was against Gedo so it had to be that. I do remember his arm being broke in SMW cause I just watched that while digging through Gangstas interviews, but don't know if it was twice... somebody know? EDIT: I think it was maybe the fear that his arm got broke on the Gedo spot -

Couple things 1. This is part of my early WCW blindspot, so -- this is part of a tag tournament IIRC, right? Or is this this just them bringing the NJ guys over at random? 2. Steiners treated everybody like pieces of meat to tenderize. Fuckin' hell. It's no wonder Scott retired the flipping slam after not only collapsing Sid's lung but almost murdering himself there. 3. Jim Ross doing the call about "love or hate the Japanese, you've gotta respect 'em" was like Bill Watts' hand was reaching right up his ass to his jawline and working his mouth
