tlk23 Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 - WWE has reportedly made a deal to purchase the Mid-Atlantic Wrestling library. This material was shot in Virginia at ringside next to the ring announcer from Jim Crockett Promotions events. The footage filmed by George Pantas. Unlike previous Mid-Atlantic material that was purchased as part of the WCW library in 2001, the Pantas footage was filmed on Super 8 cameras and was owned by Pantas. Pantas revealed the news in a column for Norfolk Navy Flagship. The footage was also used for a Michael Elliott documentary on Jim Crockett Promotions entitled The Good Old Days, which is currently available on Highspots.com. PWInsider reports that that the purchase was done about two months ago. The footage includes what is possibly the only complete match on film of Ric Flair vs. Buddy Rogers. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Evans Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I went to the FIP show in Orlando tonight. Not a very good show when the best match was a Bravado match. Lots of bad finishes including the main with Rodrick Strong getting Dq'd for hitting Trent? with a title belt. That match was just so lifeless. I also really liked the Mia Yim vs ivelisse match till the bad finish with the Savages getting involved and beating up both women. I'm really surprised neither woman is in the two big leagues these days. Both are better than most of the knockouts at least. Trevor Lee for CWF Mid Atlantic and Tim Donst were also on the show. Trevor is a really good heel and has potential. Donst looked way bigger than I thought he would. Too bad they were booked in a clusterufck 4 way elimination tag match. Highlight of the night was Maxwell Chicago though. He's not for everyone but he's easily my favorite indie guy these days along with Mike Cruz.

The Nature Boy Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I'm watching NXT Arrival and the pre-match video package for Dallas/Neville makes Dallas's gimmick look pretty entertaining. He seems to do a good job as a 2010s version of Kurt Angle. Is there a reason why he seems to get no love here? I admit to not having seen a lot of him.

You get a lot of people who remember his early WWE run and initial NXT run before the crowd just flat-out rejects him and hate him. But there is a pretty big percentage who are firmly behind him because of his NXT turn and heel run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might sound weird, but I used to download videos of Trevor Lee when he was a backyarder and he would do the most ridiculous running shooting star press where he'd get this insane height and distance. It's stuck with me for the last 11 years, it was like an olympic long jumper doing an SSP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 KNOW MORE BO. Seriously, though, his ring-work is okay and not much beyond that, but he is so completely committed to his character, and it's so well developed that you can't help but love to hate him.

piranesi Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 You ought to see my wife when I hit him with the shooting star press. STOP EXPLOITING YOUR KIDS IN EXCHANGE FOR LIKES!!!!! It's revolting...and worse than that it's effective. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nature Boy Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Bo got me with the greatest reaction to a "Boring" chant. "Yes! This is Bo's ring!" I'm in love with his character work at this point. He reminds me of that kid in school who think he's popular but is secretly hated by everyone. He took the crowd turning against him and made gold out of it.

Obviously there is some bias on my part, being that I work for CWF, but the hype is real for Trevor. Track down his matches with Andrew Everett or Arik Royal as evidence. How was the Briscoes - Hardys match last weekend? I wanna see it. Those promos got me interested. As I mentioned in the old thread, me and Stuttsy called this match. It was excellent. It exceeded my expectations, honestly. Hardyz came to work, and the crowd was mental for all of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk_Sabbath Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Not really wrestling related, but I just saw this video on reddit /r/obscuremedia for the first time in my life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFdzSex9kDM Could totally picture Dusty being all like "We'll just put an extra R, baby, no one will ever know" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I watched that show every goddamned afternoon. It was amazing. They did a special episode for Dragon's Lair and every kid I knew watched because none of us had enough quarters or basic common sense to have seen the ending to what was, I think, the first ever two-quarter game. Neither of the contestants got near the ending though and we knew we would have to wait to get the finish we wanted and were expecting...HEY! DUSTY DID WATCH!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Sometimes you have a late night. Sometimes you sleep on a friends couch. And sometimes you wake up and watch Daisuke Ikeda vs. Alexander Otsuka for the first time ever on their TV and say, it is a good day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ultimoDANK Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Here's an article I wrote about the meanings, mysteries, wonders and juxtapositions of Bray Wyatt!Talk about an oversell. He's not even close to the Mike Trout of wrestling. I like most of what he's done but I wonder if the Wyatt family really has legs. What's Bray Wyatt in 3 years? Barring injury I'm fairly certain Trout will be one of the top 3 players in baseball. I cannot say the same thing about Bray and the WWE.Plus he better not run this dumb singing into the ground.
