Shartnado Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 11 hours ago, Elsalvajeloco said: The 2nd one in many ways a better match even though it was kinda thrown together at the last minute and it's now face vs. face. I think they realized that card was gonna suck if the top two matches were just Taker vs. Kama and Diesel vs. Mabel. The only issue is you can tell we're in full Shawn is a clear and utter asshole mode. Either it's that or he was just so much of a perfectionist that he was a bundle of nerves going into that match. Between showing up the referee before the match for hanging the belt up wrong (not absolving the ref cause you should know the correct way and it's not with the main plate facing up or down for that matter) and losing his cool over the botched finish (that WAS Shawn's fault), it's evident what path Shawn was headed down over the next 2 and 1/2 years from that point. I've always liked the 2nd ladder match more than the first, even with the slightly botched ending and other problems you mentioned. Then again, I like the SummerSlam'92 match with Warrior and Savage way more than I do the Wrestlemania VII, only difference being the post-match angle being awesome at WM VII and quite shitty at SS'92. I'm sure there are other similar instances, but I can't think of any off the top of my head. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably true for me as well. I mean I took 6 months off from watching wrestling all together in 2007 when that one slightly uncomfortable thing that has happened in the business happened, but even then I was reading about wrestling pretty much every day. Also, these days my chances of watching wrestling are severely limited even though the available material exceeds my wildest dreams. Still, there's always enough time to read through the Discussion threads. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ka-to Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 18 hours ago, DJ Hero Morganti said: I took Japanese in college(i failed) but i know enough to infer. Same with high school Spanish and lucha commentary. My brain turns off any English when I try to speak Spanish. However when I don't know the Spanish word my brain substitutes Japanese verbs in the Spanish sentence. I bought a mask from Violento Jack when I went to Japan last month. Our conversation was a mix of Japanese, Spanish and English. It kind of just flowed that way. I also went to one of the Fantasctica Mania shows. Being in Japan but trying to understand all of the videos and announcing in Spanish messed me up in my head. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

赤い竜 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 From Kurt's podcast Kurt Angle had successful back surgery work done. He no longer feels pain down his legs and has no more problems with his legs. The back pain hasn't went away yet. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For about two years I lived the language. I was tired of my History major, and always loved Japanese, so I found a school nearby that offered it, dropped out of History, and went for Japanese. Was planning on studying abroad for my degree but my anxiety caused me to not go and to drop out of the program. I lived that shit. I spent the entire winter break of 2010 studying only to drop out the next year. It's hard to master as the Kanji screws with people. I barely remember any of it now. Fast forward to 2019, and I ended up finishing my History degree at the school I started, lol. Got my MA after that, and now I'm going for another MA in Education. My life is a mess! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back still hurts but the lack of leg pain is wonderful. I can only imagine the shape Angle's body is in but I'm happy that he's finally feeling some relief. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt D Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I can only stand the Dallas crowd and their idol worship of the Von Erichs for so long, so that's the territory I've seen the least of, actually.

NikoBaltimore Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Dude, that I'm From Hollywood special messed with my mind when I first saw it. I only knew of him from Taxi and I sat at the kitchen table completely glued to the TV. It really showed me something I never knew Kaufman did and it's funny reading/hearing bits and pieces about it over the years. Dude was just ahead of his time and knowing it's on Youtube means I'll need to find the time to watch it. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 (edited) We just got out of the WWE Sunday Slammer Road To WrestleMania show in Denver tonight. Holy shit, it was great. The place was basically sold out and Denver lived up to its reputation as a hot wrestling town. We were on fire all night. My nephew and his pals had an amazing time and so did I. And, I had looked up what matches were being done on this tour and was expecting the same card. They gave us a different show than the rest of the tour. From memory the card was: 1. Bianca BelAir beat Chelsea Green 2. The Brawling Brutes beat Imperium 3. Bronson Reed beat Johnny Gargano 4. Charlotte Flair beat Liv Morgan and Sonya Deville 5. Asuka and Mia Yim beat Damage Control 6. Miz TV with Denver's own Bobby Lashley led to a three way match where Austin Theory beat Lashley and Miz when Theory pinned Miz. 7. Cody Rhodes, Ricochet, and Strowman beat the Usos and Solo Sikoa. The crowd went NUTS for Lashley. It was awesome. Oh, and they turned down the crowd lights for the Main Event. It looked great.

Curt McGirt Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I passed one semester of Spanish and dropped out of a second. I managed to talk Gezol from Sabbat from Japan in pidgeon English though and that's all that matters Just had to share that I guess 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ran a non-deathmatch show in Rochester, NY (he also runs a restaurant in Rochester) back then with Brian Cage winning a world title tournament, but since NY can't have blood he's been running bi-monthly shows in Los Angeles since 2022. And in recent months, he also took over ICW's venue in New Jersey and stole a bunch of their talent. So he's running monthly XPW shows in either Los Angeles or New Jersey. And occasionally he runs no-ring shows called "Theater of Brutality" out of his restaurant in Rochester and streams them for free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
