Usually everyone who does turnbuckle powerbombs is either in place to hit it before they lift (like Kobashi), or if they're doing the walking version, they peek around their opponent to see where the corner is. Nyla does neither, not only that she turns so the corner she does the move into isn't even the one she was facing when she did the hoist. And it's not exactly the safest move to do even if the person hitting it is trying to be careful. Considering WWE loves to put greener wrestlers out their and have them do advanced stuff they aren't ready for, the buckle bomb should be either on the banned moves list, or a trademarked signature spot of one person who can do it safely.

I don't think so. It was created by a guy by the name of Johnathon Martin: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/crowning-of-a-champion-p-a-w-d-w-c#/ I think it was struggling for funding, but then some Wrestling promoter came through and said he'd host the tournament. But it doesn't appear to be listed on Cagematch. EDIT: Yeah, F1ght Club Pro Wrestling: https://belltobelles.com/trish-adora-crowned-the-first-pan-african-world-diaspora-champion/ EDIT 2: It's on IWTV (you can probably find a five days free code quite easily if you're not a subscriber): https://independentwrestling.tv/search?q=f1ght -
So how've you been, man?

It's almost as if the Wrestlers unionising and having a collective bargaining agreement with the company would be a good idea for them, isn't it? -

OK @Matt D, here you go. 'The Golden Boys' Steve Regal and Robbie Brookside vs Kendo Nagasaki & 'The Rock no Roll Express' Blondie Barrett: Heh heh. -
The thing about Joel Schumacher movies that aren't as bad as you might expect: Just think how good they could have been, if a capable director had made them instead. If you think about it, the less awful ones are usually the ones with a good script and a great performance from the lead actor.

So, you didn't read the first page of the thread?

Twitter wants to cancel Cody Rhodes, because he liked a tweet by Rovert. It was a well dodgy tweet though:

So (not) in AEW, the next big match is Nick Jackson vs Matt Jackson, on BTE 200. Meanwhile in Impact, the throwback match a couple of weeks ago was, by pure coincidence, an X Division six-way scramble featuring both members of Generation Me. Jeremy Buck even eliminated his brother Max! (It was nothing to do with the BTE angle. It was actually building up Johnny Swinger vs Mike Jackson. Yes, the guy who was in his mid 40s twenty five years ago. He's a 70 year old now.)

See, his last WWE gimmick was that he wanted to be the Wrestling Genius and he was refusing to use any strikes in his matches. At all. So it was completely hold-counterhold, in seven minute WWE TV matches. Not the place to do that, and not enough time to do it right. -
And now I'm watching San Andreas (2015) starring The Rock (born 1972) and Carla Gugino (born 1971) as his ex-wife, and Alexandra Daddario (born 1986) as their daughter. So they got a good start on the age-appropriate casting, but not a perfect one. Unless Dwayne and Carla are both playing characters older than their actual ages. The pre-credit James Bond scene features a girl driving on a cliff edge, paying no attention to the road and just reading her texts and that. Then there's a tremor and a little avalanche and she drives off the cliff, so the moral of the story is don't text and drive... except she got away with driving while looking over her shoulder with oncoming traffic, and reading texts with oncoming traffic, and was paying attention when the avalanche forced her off the road. So the moral is texting and driving is perfectly safe, and you only need to worry about natural disasters. I can't relate to this movie. Too many rich people. Too much gratuitous opulence... unless the idea is that we're supposed to think that the characters in this disaster movie deserve to have disaster befall them. Oh look, it's Rickon Stark! EDIT: This looks like it cost a fortune to make. So much destruction! It's not shying away from the fact that hundreds of thousands of people die in this movie, but it does that thing of cutting away before they actually die. Even the villainous cowards who clearly deserve it. And there's a distinct lack of actual dead bodies anywhere amidst the devastation. Lots of people fall to their deaths, lots of people get swept out to sea, before a massive tsunami sweeps in from the sea and mysteriously fails to flood the city with fresh wet corpses. It's very much one of those "The death of one is a tragedy, the death of millions is a statistic" things. Very strange morality at play here.

The only recent matches I saw Ohno in were on NXT UK television. He seemed passionless, and not quite able to take himself seriously. But that's the nature of NXT UK tv matches. Apparently his Progress matches were much better, but I only watch Progress when it's free. -
So you know how people with storage devices like TiVo or SKY+, some of those people storage is never more than 10% full because they watch everything they record, whereas for others it's always at 90%+ capacity because they record stuff with the idea of getting around to it, then don't? If you're one of the second type, it can be fun to just scroll all the way down to the bottom and watch whatever the next thing to be deleted is. So I did that. Falling Down (1993). Had never seen it before. Thought I probably should, but I was disappointed as soon as the opening credits started rolling and it turns out it was directed by Joel Schumacher. What a total hack he is. I remember when it came out, there was a lot of controversy about people identifying with Michael Douglas' character, thinking he was right to lose his marbles and start being a complete arsehole to everyone because the early 90s were a stressful time. But it's clear within the first couple of scenes that he's just a complete twat. But anyway, this movie is not at all good. It's cheesily made, badly written and badly directed. It's as if nobody involved in it's creation had ever actually had a conversation with a human person, and therefore had no idea what human people talked like, or how they behaved. Also, this movie is massively bigoted. Not the characters in it (well, some of them), but the actual movie itself is super racist, sexist, homophobic, even ageist. Basically, this is "I'm not racist but..." The Movie. I don't like what this movie stands for. I don't agree with the message it sends. But also, it's just flat out not good. A bad idea, badly executed. Schumacher is useless.

Rewatching the March 11th Dynamite. Really sinks in how the five episodes since aren't aren't really the same story. They had angles they were building with people who this was their last show. Death Triangle were just getting started. Bea Priestley was coming after Nyla Rose's title. Big Swole confronted Britt Baker. Hangman Page was the ace of the company. Running Empty Arena since, they've countermanded a lot of the problems that have rendered WWE's empty arena shows so terrible. They're still not as good as shows with live audiences are, but they aren't as lifeless and unatmospheric. But having half the roster not there really hurts it. They've basically pressed pause on the whole thing. If they had just stopped running altogether, I don't think I'd have minded.
