*Reminder: insert pic of Eddie Kingston w/ "Huh?" sound clip a la Botchamania here. Millions of likes will follow.*Never in my wildest dreams, going back to when I was buying ROH tapes and DVDs, did I ever think Daniel Bryan would be the potential top guy in the WWE. So, so awesome and I think this feeling is going to become more and more rare as time goes on. There will always be guys who could come in off the indy circuit, but more and more guys are going to come up from the farm, so Daniel Bryan may very well be one of the last of a dying breed.

I want to ask this, so I apologize if it's been mentioned (I'm at work and on page 13, but I'm way behind schedule today):
What's the chance of Lesnar/Bryan thrown into the mix of this? And if it happened ... how many stars past 5 would it be? My thinking is, if Lesnar/Punk happened, Lesnar/Bryan isn't so far-fetched, eh?
^ HA!

I have a few I dig:
1) Hennig's Exodus riff is just ... just fantastic. I seriously don't think a day has gone by since I graduated college that I haven't hummed this to myself at some point, and yes, every day.
2) Yes to Huka Blues. Yes to Adrian Street's "Imagine What I Could Do to You."
3) I completely enjoy the goofy aspect to that song the Road Warriors recorded for that music video.
4) Enjoy the theme for RVD, "One of a Kind." Far better than the TNA theme by Van Kushinator or whatever. Just terrible ...
5) Samoa Joe's ROH championship reign resulted in now I can't watch Godzilla without some point hearing "bum buh-buh bum, THE CHAMP IS HERE, bum buh, bum buh, THE CHAMP IS HERE ..." and so on.

Cocaine, too!It's a plant, silly.

Ooh, also "Dutch uncle," so it works TWO ways! HAW!

If no comp comes from this, 'tis all for naught, NAUGHT I say!I'm going through my boxes upon boxes of pro wrestling VHS tapes since I finally got a VCR and I'm finding things that are absolutely mind boggling as to why I even have this shit. Green Mountain Wrestling out of Vermont, Buff fucking Bagwell's shoot, a handful of IWA-MS shows. And I've only gone through a dozen tapes. No idea why I would even have some of this shit nor do I know why anyone else would, completely bizarre.God only knows what I'm going to find next. I haven't even started on the boxes from my cousin who was one of the more popular tape traders (I guess?) 10-15 years ago.

3) Don't slag on Philly too much. We have a well-deserved reputation. But we also have a huge gay presence in town. There's a neighborhood downtown called The Gayborhood. There was an attempt to rebrand it as something more generic but people -- and not just gays -- refused to let that happen. There might be some mooks who say something awful to Darren Young but I guarantee they'll be met with a bad reaction and will also get kicked out -- and maybe their asses kicked. That stuff doesn't fly here too much anymore.
How would Philly wrestling fans have reacted to, say, a tag team with a flamboyantly gay gimmick in ECW?
The Christopher Street Connection worked the Philly area for years and from all the (albeit limited) footage I saw of them, they never got booed for being gay, just mediocre workers.
Google tells me that someone who has a copy of 2002's Ring of Honor: A Night of Appreciation should watch the CSC match and give us a report on the Philly crowd's response.
They were working as heels on that show.
Does that mean it's okay for the crowd to chant racist things at black wrestlers if they are working as heels?
Hey, I've been to indy shows in the South where they chant racist things to black wrestlers working as faces. But no, not okay.

Since nothing has been mentioned, I'm assuming that Jay Briscoe's Twitter is cricket-chirps about the Darren Young issue?

If I sign on to the board on my work computer tomorrow and find that you have a cute animal .GIF for a sig, you are so the first entry on my DVDVRMB Friend List 2.0.Good on Darren Young. More tolerance and acceptance of others makes for a better world.

On the "Superstar bringing an animal to the ring:" Daniel Bryan. Fainting goat. The heels constantly scare the goats into unconsciousness. Play it up with "Piper just pulled that kid's leg off!" seriousness (see also: Chikara - Mysterious and Handsome Stranger, as a guideline for how to make it work).
Re: Darren Young - I just hope no one in WWE has seen "Chasing Amy," to assume that gay + black = "notoriously the swishiest of the bunch" is an actual character trait, as opposed to bullshit Kevin Smith's navel gazing social criticism.

What the fuck happened in this thread?
Pretty much the same thing that happens to every thread.
Could be worse ... look at what happened to June ... well, back when you *could* look at what happened to June ...

oh man Zybysko on Worldwide. I can still hear him saying "Is he a millennium man...or millennium mouse?" With this smug look like this was the most brilliant statement.
If you think he's bad on Nitro, you should pray that you never stumble onto a later run WCW Worldwide match on Youtube, if your overdubbed commentary team is Hudson and Zybysko, just mute the fucking thing.Watching "Best of Nitro" vol. 2, and what a harsh reminder of how ... just ... the depths of foul judgment lies just out my grasp ... to describe how awful Zybysko is in booth. It seems as if every match he's on, he's on about the "human game of chess," as opposed to the "robot game of chess" or the game of human chess (which is what I assume he really means ... ass).
Actually, I should have waited a little bit longer, because then, instead of bitching about how bad he was, I would have just posted a query:
Which is the worst Zybysko comment of these two:
1) During the Misterio/Juventud/Garza vs. Parka/Psicosis/Silver King match, he poses the explanation for the luchadores quickness as a result of their flight from the "federales" during their youth; or,
2) During the Scott Hall/Bam Bam Bigelow ladder match for a shock-stick, Zybysko dismisses a statement to the fortitude of both men in this grueling match by exclaiming, "So what, I could go down there and break both their necks?"
Polls in your area ARE open ...
(And it was Heenan who got throat cancer ... fucking lack of justice in the world ...)

Forgive me a brief aside:
How could WWE put out their Attitude era set and not include a montage or some other retrospective on all the instances of Jacqueline's titties popping out by "accident?"
Missed. Opportunity.

Y'know, I liked this the minute I saw it, but my good god, I LIKED this.Davey Richards in an Ironman scaffold match. He only plans on getting thrown off four times because even he thinks that being pushed off the scaffold five times and still competing would be ridiculous.

I would be really in to a story based around Teddy Hart's cats forming up like voltron in to Big Show. They could do a moonsault, but the impact would shatter them back in to just an army of cats.
Reading this and looking at your avatar, with the cat that looks like he has a "no scratchy-scratchy" cone around his dick, made me burst out laughing in my office, behind closed doors. With no one in here with me. At a mental health clinic.

The Chamber of Horrors match where Abdullah gets electrocuted.

I like this revised version of SummerSlam 2004 by WWE.
Yeah, I remember that show ... *STEVIE RICHARDS* really brought a great match out of Orton that night.

Someone on this page has the best signature ever: I think everyone can guess who.
Fuck a WCW/WWF Wargames ... The kitten, the puppy and the sloth. You will TAAAAAP to their triple team finisher, "Adorable OVERLOAD '13!"

I'm disappointed that none of you took jabs at the Christian/Slater match; holmes ain't had that good a set-up for a great "name vs. name" match culture reference since he took on Judas Mesias in TNA.
-
I feel as though if Teddy Hart did his infamous shoot shooting star press off the top of the cage in today's ROH (and most importantly, on to Davey Richards), he would win march madness.
Off the top of a steel Davey Richards onto Davey Richards? The space-time continuum A'SPLODE!

Just want to point out that @D_V_D_V_R live tweeting Impact is making my night. There were COMIX. It is good.
GodDAMN, that puppy is so fucking cute! FUCK, that thing is cute! Up there with that sloth that Cool Arrow had that kept sticking his tongue out at me.

As much as i want it, i dont think Danielson is ging to wiin.I think, as Dave wrote months ago, this is designed for Cena to fiiinally have a classic (5 star) match.
Wait a tick, didn't Cena have a 5* with Punk at MitB?
WWE SummerSlam 2013.

But dad, Kingston is "THE last of a dying breed," which doesn't make sense anyway. Besides, it was just a joke, YOU'RE THE REASON WHY MOM LEFT!!!
