  1. There's a Wendi Richter and Joyce Grable vs Velvet Mcintyre and Judy Martin spotfest that I think should have made the low end of the AWA set, certainly over the Martel match that made it on. I THINK it's this one: But I don't have time to check right now.
  2. I have a working theory. It is that Judy Martin was actually really good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMm31IYzuLY This is from Southwest and would give further credence to that theory. Especially great was the short reverse back elbow but Martin's cutoffs are well done and almost all of her stuff looks nasty. Velvet, to her credit, shows good early fire and then has super solid body language throughout. We don't really get a comeback, just a flash pin here, but I imagine this built up to an even better live show run.
  3. "The Big Josh Memorial Six Man Tag Team Title"
  4. I knew about Edge and HBK, but Cody/Dustin is a whole different story.
  5. There's a Renee Young podcast with Dustin and Cody? why does no one tell me these things?
  6. I'm confused by this. Are you or are you not
  7. You have to admit, this is perhaps my finest work. I always liked the Punk arc from Pipebomb to hissyfit, but this will go on forever. This is all Jae's fault for not having the will to do what needed done.
  8. I think that Punk might be a bit better off with the stage name. I'm just saying.
  9. WON HOF aside, I was actually curious what the mindset behind Abdullah in the WWE HOF was, and all the WON really had at the time was that it was a good local interest story for Atlanta with the restaurant.
  10. "How I Met Your Mother" with Triple H would be kind of great. You could go all the way back to 97 and his stint on the booking team.
  11. I'd say that Virus is sort of a winner in this, just from the amount of people who saw him and dug him. I'd say the winners in this tournament in that regard were Casas, Virus, and Nakamura.
  12. I am kind of glad that I didn't have to see Tanahashi potentially beat Casas.
  13. See you later, sport. Mike's impending week off aside, anytime the WWE goes outside the normal format, generally when they're forced, it feels different in special. Just having Lillian there made it feel a bit more like an event, as weird as that sounds on paper.
  14. There's an argument about medium here, how it's harder to tell a nuanced story with a more subtle villain in two hours relative to dozens of issues of a comic released in a monthly format. There's just a lot more room to breathe in the latter. Superhero Movies have different needs. That said, this argument is so headache-inducing, I don't want to flesh it out.
  15. I've said this before, but there has to be some worthy content in the TNA library. Maybe it's not the best library, but it is one I see WWE wanting to own, and eventually owning. Even if all it gives me is thirty or so worthwhile matches then I'd be happy with that. Plus, variety is king, and adding TNA sometime in the distant future will give the Network even more variety. There's only so much time. Five, ten years from now, they're not even going to have all of their mid-south and Championship Wrestling from Florida up. I'd be surprised if they had all of Wrestling Challenge up in five years at this rate. Why dilute that at all with TNA? If they buy the library, they should do it to burn it.
  16. TNA would be a waste of bandwidth that could go to something more worthy like GLOW
  17. There are four or five shoots with Bill Watts over the years and they're all worth listening to.
  18. Damn you and all the Continental you have that I don't, Goc.
  19. We won't berate you for this. Sometimes you just have to find that one downside.
  20. I'd vote Casas over Cena, I think. Probably not Panther though.
  21. Yeah Undertaker was the one I was then going to troll about. Shame. Jae, look at this disruptive behavior. He's like the cocky bastard admitting to it and getting caught on camera. This is GTV in action. Flex your power. You were given the mandate of heaven for this exact reason. He can't. I am the darkness to his light. Without me, he doesn't exist. I wonder if I can report this post without getting staked myself for calling wolf.
