I'm sure DEAN or somebody already posted this but so what, it's a young skinny Tenryu all full of babyface vim and vigor against that dastardly Ueda, who isn't afraid to blade right in front of everybody before the bell rings. Three guesses as to which pile of human excrement spoils the match and makes Tenryu a human bloodbag. It's kind of charming watching baby Misawa, Koshinaka, Kojika etc. try and break up the fight. Oh, and Tenryu's enzuigiri sucked even then.

Hey, guess what? I went looking for said tag from above (buried somewhere in this thread) and found two more tags on the Tenryu retirement tour. He hit NOAH and being all Revolutionary and whatnot hit up FREEDOMS for some bloodletting. Go figure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdJJCY4CY80 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TAN2r2VWvg

Just think, if Vince found out Charlie had HIV from a pre-match physical, he could be rolling in the blackmail fuck money right now

Also, apparently Sheen has a very small amount of HIV in his bloodstream, has told every sex partner about his infection, and the two that he HAS had unprotected sex with are under the care of his personal doctor. Yeah... tiger blood.

So tomorrow night on @Midnight, one of the guests is (drum roll please)... Michael Shannon?!

I don't remember how good they were in the ring but I loved the Deuce and Domino gimmick. The concept of an aggressive heel team made of asshole greasers/rockers/rockabillies/raggare with a put-upon valet is perfect but the plug was pulled on it before anything could be done with it. Put a team like that under Heyman in OVW or something and he would have ran with it I bet. Turn down the Fonzie and turn up the Ace Merrill and there's a lot to work with there. EDIT: and of course I look it up and they started in OVW under Heyman. Go figure

Wait. I was joking. You guys are saying that those two in the ring was a serious proposition?!

They had an idea for a Daniel Bryan/Charlie Sheen tag team?

George Gulas, Mike Graham, and Chris Von Erich say hello (or don't, they're all dead) EDIT: Mike Von Erich too EDIT II: and Erik Watts

And WCW guys were always on MTV's spring break events during the Monday Night Wars. So MTV really has a better overall history with wrestling than most.

Well, you can't say it was a good match, really, but it wasn't actively horrible. There was a flint of psychology there for a second where Tenryu was working on Okada's neck, but because he can't follow up because he can barely stand in the ring and can take no bumps, it was a non-factor. All of Tenryu's big moves were hit just like a man of his age and wear -- the enzuigiri is to a kneeling Okada, and the powerbomb is done in the corner and he flat-out Pillmans (or should I say Sids?) Okada on it, rolling him up for a second before unceremoniously dropping him on the back of his head. Even his punches and strikes to the back to work for the powerbomb were light. I guess the tour really took it out of him because he seemed pretty damn spry in that tag match from earlier this year. Afterwards Hansen and Terry come out, which was a nice gesture, and his possible daughter/runner of Tenryu Project? comes out for an emotional little speech. Then a bunch of wrestlers flood the ring with Tenryu sitting Buddha-like crosslegged in the ring with them for a photo op. I picked out Fujiwara, Kikutaro and Kea but that's it. There was one moment which was weird and special. Maybe I'm reading into it, but when Tenryu and Okada were staring at each other right before the match, it shot back to Okada who had this strange frown on his face, almost like he was going to cry, and Neil Young's "Old Man" started playing in my head right then and there. EDIT: I guess the gal is both his daughter and the person behind Tenryu Project. And that match really isn't good. I just can't talk bad about it because it's Tenryu and it's his last and all that. Okada even takes mercy on him with a very undeadly Rainmaker and you just kinda feel sad. That tag, where he was just punching Sato or whoever in the face at the end, was a much cooler way to go out.

Shit I forgot about CB4. Yeah, it wins.

YES.

I think the story was that Marty was actually walking on his ankles it's so bad.

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2ph0eb_the-crusher-cuts-up-mad-dog-vachon_sport Dunno where to post this so here it goes. I was digging around this poster "AWA" on Dailymotion and found this. The brawl, if you want to call it such, is absolutely piss-poor but there is one amazing closeup that freeze framed could easily have ended up on the cover of an old wrestling mag. I don't know how they let that air in '71. Mad Dog really wasn't afraid to tap a vein (or an artery, as the play-by-play dude says).

What did Hak die from? OD? Also, the hair is what's doing him in in that photo. He needs a fresh blonde dye job, even if his hairline is receding. Combine that with his drunken leer and you def. got the uncle that drinks a gallon of eggnog and calls his sister a cunt at Xmas or Thanksgiving.

I'm amazed that Razorback hasn't been on El Rey yet. Talk about tailor-made...

Razorback redux? Bill Moseley? Yes please.

I thought that Walking Dead preview was hilarious because it showed NOTHING. If idiot fans sat through a show they didn't really wanna watch for 20 minutes just for that, they deserve to suffer.

I'm gonna beat J.T. to it and say that Into the Badlands was pretty neat. Then again anything that opens with a rotting child carcass and a series of people getting their limbs broken and summarily murdered by kung-fu is gonna appeal to me. The plot is gonna be dizzy as a motherfucker (it already is -- a kung-fu opium plantation? an Asian Mad Max of a karate master/swordsman hero? a kid with telekinetic powers that appear when he's injured? "Badlands" that look like the rural South more than a post-apocalyptic wasteland?) but you probably guessed that already.

Tom Magee's kicks are like someone crossed Raja Lion with green RVD. Good lord. You will laugh and laugh and laugh.

Sly Stallone Director's Chair is pretty good, nowhere near the others but hey. Better than that though (and I hope you all see this in time): DEATH RACE 2000 is on at 1:30 AM Central (followed by Switchblade Sisters). Yeah, baby!

Hey, thou shalt not disrespect the punch perm!

I still -- STILL -- haven't seen the Vegas broadway with Hennig. At least there's this (I mistakenly attributed it to Tabe but he mentioned the UWF match. Hey Tabe watch THIS one!):
