Brisco

One of my 2021 resolutions is to watch as much current wrestling I can get my greasy hands on. While I have kept up with the product the last few years, I haven’t watched everything WWE has produced. Tonight’s episode feels like it is the upper echelon of WWE TV from the past couple of years. We had a good storyline match in the main event, a very very good semi main and a good women’s tag. Worst complaint I have is the finish of the women’s tag as I, like most, am not a fan of the destruction finish the WWE feels is absolute money. Let’s hope WWE sticks to a heavy wrestling format. Family had me distracted and I completely missed Sonya’s return. Very happy to see her back. I was one of many who thought Billie was a goner after The IIconics were broken up. Thanks fully, for her, they found something though surely Billie can do better than worst act on Smackdown. The truth is the truth.

While watching Brian Zane’s review of The Authority storyline, I kept remembering how much fun I had reading the DVDVR board at the time. Though I did have a quick foray here within the last year, I have really wanted to return despite my internal criticism of my writing. Looking forward to a fun 2021 with the good dudes of DVDVR!

I have started watching CZW from the beginning and holy shit the production quality is terrible. The PA system is atrocious but six shows in we finally have a graphic introducing the wrestlers and a play by play man to translate the promos. While the action is passable, the booking is Russo level at times. No surprise, the best match (by far) from the first six shows involves Mike Quackenbush. I hope the quality improves sooner than later. EDIT: I am unsure if this thread is for all Indie wrestling or just for the 2019 product

The Starrcade match is my favorite Luger/Flair encounter. Absolute perfection!

Love this show and love this match. Great discovery of two unknown commodities out of Buffalo, NY

Is there a test to know whether I am a smark? Is there treatment for this condition?

Has no one in the office thought to congratulate her and be glad she is on their team now? The older I get, the more I hate the WWE office.

Having recently dove head first into the world of independent wrestling (thank you streaming services), I highly recommend AR Fox/Bobby Flaco from ACTION Wrestling's (4/26) show on IWTV.

At the end of yoga class tonight the instructor said "What you learn on the mat you can apply to life". Apparently yoga is pro wrestling too.

Continuing ridiculous arguments is what we do here at DVDVR.

Edit: Comment deleted due to incorrect video.

This is great wrestling booking 101, the face overcomes the odds to win and the heel still gains prestige in the loss for having a great match.

At first glance I read that as Papa Roach...I deserve all back leg roundkicks that come my way.

YOU JUST MADE THE LIST!

This is possible, though I was hoping the negative points will negate some of this perceived advantage. We all know Cena and Hogan (possibly Triple H) will most likely be the winner, especially with the length of their title reigns. I thought of adding a way that PPV wins and losses to weigh heavier than TV matches but have not found a way to factor this in.

I am attempting to add a dorky element to my wrestling obsession by making a spreadsheet to track wrestlers progress to determine who is the greatest wrestler according to the point system in place. The following is what I have come up with and am looking for critiques and ideas and solidify my rules before i watch several shows and have to recalculate the results. I am focusing on individual wrestlers and people (Kane/Isaac Yankem are one person) with submission victories and losses being weighed heavier than a pinfall. Considering only events on the WWE Network starting in 1993, though I will eventually go back to the beginning and add results to my spreadsheet. Point system: Title Win:5 Submission:3 (4 in title match) Pin:2 (3 in title match) Winning Tag partner not involved in fall:1 Countout/DQ:1 Double Countout/DQ:0 Losing Tag partner not involved in fall:-1 Pinfall loss:-2 Submission loss:-3

I still remember Lords of Pain from the 90s. My friend thought Tito was the shit.

Why We Wrestle's Hardcore Hell in Cornelia, GA lived up to the hype and was such a fun show. I had never seen a deathmatch in person and it was quite the spectacle. MASADA slamming skewers into Brad Cash's head then letting go as they fanned out while staying stuck in Cash's cranium was insane. I really don't think the crowd knew what to make of this match at first but MASADA and Cash had them into it by the end. Met MASADA during intermission and he is beyond super cool. If this is what Why We Wrestle is going to produce on a regular basis it will be worth the drive to catch a show at the Church of Southern Wrestling. I posted the well written report by Larry Goodman from the Georgia Wrestling History page in the spoiler below.

I am lucky enough to be off for Why We Wrestle's Hardcore Hell show tonight at the Church of Southern Wrestling in Cornelia, GA. The first Why We Wrestle champions will be crowned and MASADA~! TAKE MY MONEY! Dean is not the only person in wrestling to show off his kids for no reason...PROMO~! The Reverend Dan Wilson is BACK TONIGHT~!

Richards ruins everything...

I never thought I would be able to own a home after making mistakes in my 20's, but my wife and I were able to work on my credit and we closed on our first house last week. Close to 2800 sq ft, and much closer to town (and the things we do in town) than we were before. Of course my 6 yr old son christened the house by getting sick two days after moving in, such is life.

I first saw Sexton in a tag team with Masada as the Texas Death Club. They won the tag titles that night from a blowjob babyface tag team billed from Myrtle Beach. Rippa has Jimmy Rave in March Madness, so apparently he had some good matches in 2015.

Screw you Rippa for ruining any plans I may or may not have had for the evening. Add me to the list of people who love this project, even if I have not found time to watch all of the matches.

Randomly remembered a couple of notes from the WWW show in Cornelia. Mikael Judas beat Todd Sexton Forgot about Kory Chavis beating Chip Day on the second half of the card. Chavis is billed as the Soul Assassin so either he reaches into the depths of his opponents and assassinates his soul or he kills people with soul and flare.
