Lol at the ref stopping the count to watch Penta do the sunset flip powerbomb.
I mean, there is another combatant making contact with someone attempting a pin. I feel like that's a pretty good reason not to count, even though your point is totally valid.

Holy shit, The Sadness is soooooo fucked up. Fifty percent of the budget must've been on fake blood and internal organ mock-ups. Definitely one of the most unapologetically violent things I've ever seen as well as being a not-so-subtle Fuck You to Chinese COVID policy.
Thanks for the recommendation, guys. It is one of the great movies I'll never watch again for as long as I live. It is intelligent, heartbreaking, and totally grotesque.
Man, I started it last night, and I turned it off like 40 minutes in. It wasn't getting into the meat of whatever the fuck was happening quickly enough for me. Goddamn was that subway train scene fun, though. I don't think it sucks so far, it just didn't grab hold of me like I thought it would.
The gore is pretty fun, and I am definitely into the social commentary aspect of it. As I'm sure many other people have already mentioned, it feels a lot like Crossed, but less fuck-y so far.
I'm going to try to get back into it tonight, but I just wasn't in the right headspace last night.

I cannot get in to Warhorse. Like, okay, you love metal. What else do you have? Oh yeah, you walk slowly around the ring headbanging to harness your fighting spirit. Nothing he does in-ring makes me believe in him, and his double-foot dropkick he does off the ropes is the goddamn thigh-slappingest strike I've ever seen a pro wrestler throw.
He's all character, which he admittedly has nailed down, but I don't find any of his humor engaging enough to make up for the very pedestrian in-ring work.
Alexander hemmed him up real good there, though. So that's a bonus.

Where is the best place to buy high quality Lucha masks?
I genuinely have no idea if they will ship to the states, but that's my favorite maskmaker. But there are others out there and I'm sure that they will all do you right.
I have a pretty impressive dude that I have favorited on Etsy, if you want that link as well. The stuff in his shop is okay, but his custom work is really nice, but I don't know what his prices for pro-grade stuff is.

Man, the Dungeon Of Doom gets hella shit on for being cheesy, but as a 16 year old dude that hadn't yet seen the much more fun Florida stuff, I was fully invested on them bringing Hogan down. I knew it would never happen, but I ate that dumb shit up.

Am I insane, or did he initially appear in the WWF as "Steven William Regal?"
It wasn't his first time in. He used it briefly when he came back in 2000.

William F. Regal
I am presuming that the middle name in this case is "Fucking", but in my head, his middle initial is S for "Steven".

They run Fresno, Bakersfield. There’s been many Texas aew shows. I was thinking about secondary markets in California. You’ve got San Diego, Bakersfield, Sacramento. I don’t know much about SoCal but aside from theirs a ton of venues. Sacramento doesn’t have much aside from the nba arena, which would be overkill after a Bay Area show. But uc Davis has a relatively new arena that could seat around 4500 for wrestling, and it looks good. They’ve done worse, might not be bad after a big Bay Area show. I think on Monday we’re getting something.
I think they could run the Memorial Auditorium here, NXT has run there a time or two. It's really fucking small, so probably not ideal for TV, unless they wanted to pick up on the "Universal Taping" kind of vibe. Likely not the look they want for TV. But a great goddamn place to watch wrestling.
It's way smaller than The Pavillion at UCD. I can't remember when, but the WWF has absolutely run at UCD. I know that Erin O' Grady and Vic Grimes had a tryout there on a Shotgun taping or something.
I just looked, Memorial has a capacity of just short of 3900, The Pavillion at UCD holds 7600. Daily's Place only holds 5500, so that joint at UCD would be perfect for TV.

Hangman would probably hang out with Orville Peck.
The Orville Peck cover of Small Town Boy is on the "Anxious Millennial Cowboy" playlist that Page curated on Spotify, so excellent call on your part.

I finally figured out how to save my streams. Still just testing but if people want to see some GG2000 and eventually TK4
Followed. If you are on when I have Twitch open, I'll check it out.

I think Chuck Taylor used it on Twitter. Like when they would tweet about the shows they weren't on, I think?
Jay embraced it to the point that he put it on a t-shirt.

Whoever got Trent? to say Knife Pervert on here needs to raise their hand. It's either that or he lurks on the board.
Is it really some big DVDVR secret? There is a "Knife Pervert" shirt on Switchblade's PW Tees site.

So, against my better judgement, I watched the Chainsaw picture. Good, fun gore in spots, but absolutely devoid of any other charm.
All of the main kids are pretty bad actors, and in no way hook me for any interest in why they exist. And unlike the original, where I feel bad for these folks in a fucked situation, these dumb dicks bring all the bad shit down on their own heads. I hate them, and I enjoy watching them get clipped.
SpoilerAlso, why make a big deal out of resurrecting Sally? Chainsaw 3 makes reference to her dying in an institution. But in this film, here she is, trying to avenge her friends murders from 50 years ago. And she fucking fails! Why isn't she the destroyer of this monster that fucked up her whole life and killed her brother and friends?
It feels very much like where they have gone with the revenge arc for Laurie Strode, and it is every bit as meaningless and flat as that story.
Oh, I almost forgot! One of the main characters is a school shooting survivor, because why wouldn't that need to be a defining characteristic?
So much of this movie was like "Hey, this is a thing that is important. Oh wait, nope. Here's a fun-ish chainsaw murder. Never mind that other thing."
It feels very much like a movie that has been in and out of different people's hands, and something with too many studio notes worrying about how to hamfistedly get to this convoluted plotline in which Instagram influencers are coming to gentrify your town. There seemed to be no worry about trying to capture any of the stuff that made the first film so special.
Much like everything else in this remake/reboot/restart batch of TCM films, it fails pretty miserably.

I like all the "thumbtacks can't be a finish" talk. It made me think of IWA KOTDM and how much I love the Nakamaki vs. Ono match. That has a thumbtack finish.
I'm not sure about everyone else's pro wrestling brain, but mine sure as fuck bought a powerbomb and full-nelson facebuster into tacks as worthy of a three count.
If I saw that same sequence today for a finish, I wouldn't bat an eye.

Maybe I'm remembering wrong, just isn't the unnecessary capitalization in ReDRragon because they were beefing with the American Wolves and the use of his initials was to fuck with Davey Richards?
The pronunciation has always been "Red Dragon" though.

I have no idea if this is his mother, but at risk of sounding like a total asshole, this kid is WAY better looking than his parents. Two totally regular looking folks made a pretty hot young dude.

He's more Joe HIgashi
You made this reference in the other thread, and I didn't get it at all. Now having seen him in his ring gear, I understand. He hella looks like Joe.

That's a fucking great line. It would be great to hear that as the last thing said before a big match between he and one of the four.

I thought very highly at one time of SBS (Super Dragon / Excalibur) vs Steen and Generico from CZW Cage of Death VI, but I haven't watched it in a million years.
EDIT - Oh, online. Here is SD and Blitzkrieg against American Wild Child and Hell Blazer from Promo Azteca in 12/1997. It's on Bihari's YT channel, so I bet you could dig through there and find at least a couple other matches of his.

And one more with the same 4 guys from 11/1997
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aLsM75iC9I
Just from the personnel involved, it's likely fun, but I don't know for sure that I've seen either one of these.

I have nothing to add, but I wanted to kick in that I did post-production color commentary for like 3 years worth of ultra-tiny shitbox NorCal indies for shows that never got video releases.
I would have loved to have done it live to tape, but I was in-ring refereeing most of the time as well.
Fucking everybody here has commentary experience! What a group we are!

AEW x NJPW - FORBIDDEN DOOR - 6/26/2022
in ALL ELITE WRESTLING
Posted
This stems from the working relationship with NJPW / CMLL, I assume? I was unaware that AAA had actual, enforceable contracts with anyone. Is this the same kind of issue that plagued the Lucha Underground affiliated guys a couple years back?
I wonder if FTR not carting around the AAA belts right now is because of their upcoming involvement with the IWGP Heavyweight tag belts.
