October 2024 Wrestling Discussion

[The Natural]

We're in the last quarter of the year. Loaded month. AEW 5th Anniversary Dynamite tomorrow with Bryan Danielson vs. Kazuchika Okada III. WWE Hell in a Cell this weekend with CM Punk and Drew McIntyre inside HIAC. NJPW King of Pro-Wrestling where hopefully Zack Sabre Jr will be the new IWGP World Heavyweight Champion beating Tetsuya Naito, wish it was the IWGP Heavyweight Championship V4. I do miss that a lot. Enjoy!

They posted it on socials last night. Idea is Danielson just decided that he was doing it in part as an FU to Mox who was trying to control his fate.

They're doing the old Lord Steven Regal TV title gimmick (where the match had a 30 minute time limit, but the belt was only on the line for the first 15). Okada's Continental Title is only on the line for the first 20 minutes of the match.

Which does somewhat imply what the finish is might be.

there's a joke to be made about Stan hansen's eyesight and his attempts to find a certain part of the anatomy 

[Phantom Lord]

Is that Blue Pain or someone else doing a spoof?

[odessasteps]

Imagine being the person to tell Glen about that gimmick. 

[zendragon]

Reminds me JBL's response to the Gay Brock Lesnar idea "I'd like to see you tell Brock that"

also anytime I see a photo of Seth Rolling out and about

Carting a dog around in a stroller/pram is absolute madness. 

How so? Some dogs are old or disabled or have arthritis or other disabilities. Is carting around a human in a wheelchair madness to you as well? Or should everybody just put down any living being who isnt capable of getting around on their own?

First of all, fuck all the way off being a new person here and trying to start shit almost immediately.

Second, this isn't Reddit or some random board full of dipshit teenagers, most of us have been here for a long time and know each other quite well. The majority of people here know THAT I HAVE A DISABLED CHILD WHO REQUIRES FULL CARE AND A WHEELCHAIR. 

So congrats on discovering DVDVR and making an immediate ass out of yourself, and welcome to my ignored list you fucking loser.

My dog, Rayven had a very rare cancer. Rayven liked her walks so we walked her and when she couldn't we pushed her in a pram or carried her. Rayven was only 6 when she passed, just made her 6th birthday. Pets are family, I love all the pets I've ever had but I love and miss Rayven the most. Hurts like hell.

I forgot how old Larry is, so in that case it makes sense. I guess I'm just really used to how many Americans have little dogs that they carry around and treat like babies even though they are perfectly healthy. Is that an issue over there as well?

From my side of the pond when people have little dogs, the dogs walk. We've had three little dogs: Rayven, Offy (both miniature Jack Russell) and Robin (Chihuahua). All walked apart from when Rayven was unable with the terminal cancer so we carried/used a pram.

Last night, I watched a bit of the first match of the '86 Omni show WWE put up on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/live/4qlpQyqFqcs?si=8lY3y2tHIpXh3CBx). It's Bill Dundee vs. Dutch Mantell. 

When the match starts, they do the standard "feeling out" by circling each other and locking up a few times. Dundee is the heel in the match, so he complains about some hair pulls, nothing fancy, nothing we haven't seen a million times before.

But, when I was watching, it struck me how smoothly they both moved around the ring. They circled, they maintained a distance, then closed that distance, they approached and retreated, all looking smooth as hell, but not at all choreographed. It's something you don't see a lot anymore. Today, we have amazingly athletic wrestlers, but I can't think of anyone that just looks like they were born to be in a wrestling ring like Dundee and Mantell do in this match. Flair and Steamboat had this. I think Lawler had it, too. Bockwinkle also comes to mind as someone who just knew how to move about a ring.

Is there someone today (probably Danielson, now that I think about it) who has this talent? This seems like something Matt D has thought or written about at some point.

If this thread was locked, I wouldn't have had to deal with the shithead's reply? Well now, that would've been nice!

It’s not quite the same but I love watching Athena for her physical unpredictability. She’s quite often organically in the moment like few others today.

Or you could've just ignored it and him and moved on.

I think you made your point with the first statement.  There's no reason to go ad absurdum on your post.
