bobholly138 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 For me the best current tag team is a tie between War Machine and Pretty Boy Killers AKA Shane Taylor and Keith Lee. Now I am a bit biased since over the past year gotten to know Keith and Shane pretty well. So damn happy they are getting some attention finally.

It'll never happen but i'd pay money for a War Machine/ Taylor/Lee match where "winner goes to NXT." I literally have no idea who would get the call up*. *Well, both would. But I don't know who would win the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobholly138 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I see WWE signing Keith Lee in the next year or so. Doubt they sign Taylor,mostly cause he has a very odd shape to his body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cody: GFW is still a thing? :::pauses to think about it::: I don't know... The only thing better than that is he's the NEX*GEN Champ. Not even their champion, but the b-champion as Magnus is more worthy of holding GFW's flagship than him. Jeff: Hey Cody, would you be interested in working some GFW shows? Cody: ...well, depends. You know I really wanted to be a World Champion when I left WWE...can I be the GFW Champ...? Jeff: Oh. Uh...that. Well, you see...um...Magnus is in the UK a lot, and there's other booking plans, but possibly, maybe, in the future...can I interest you in some gold? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red One cameras are like 20k "cheap" movie cameras. Annie Lebowitz used to take still images from the camera and turn them into photos. Seriously high end stuff. The problem is, those cameras are by their very nature, not designed to shoot things like pro wrestling. They're for making movies and TV shows in a controlled and staged environment. To capture the chaotic movement of wrestling with these cameras would require a skill level that is probably not humanly possible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly the greatest video game Canadian ever. You're forgetting about Jumbo Flapjack from Saturday Night Slam Masters, the most 100% accurate portrayal of Canadians ever.

Quote Every Enzo Amore and Colin Cassidy Promo Ever — English to Thai to Italian to Burmese to Uzbek to English Enzo Amore: "I am called Enzo Love and the letter G is bona fide or approved, and it’s not! And this person is Cass and he is seven meters long and can not be made to learn! A bad explosion most real men here!" Big Broadcast: "How are you?" I lost it at the bolded part.

My favorite part...I'm fairly confident that footage was not fully graded. That's like over 100k they didn't account for in their budget when they got access to their spiffy cameras. If Jeff is by chance reading this - Hey motherfucker, I'm still here willing to fix and edit the project just so you don't rip people off. To be fair mental issue is part of the reason it failed.

zev Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Regal could've done that Warrior translation word for word and made it work.

Seems like everyone being a star makes no one a star and the one guy who isn't becomes one because he's the only guy who's different. That's a different discussion and a real problem honestly. The biggest problem with post-Attitude Era wrestling is that fans say that someone is "wasted" if they aren't being pushed to the moon and receiving World Title shots. A lot of people fail to realize that the curtain jerker and the mid carder are all apart of the tapestry that is a good wrestling show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Unpopular opinion: Is anyone else kind of over the "british invasion" of sorts of talent like Sabre Jr, Ospreay, Scrull, etc? I mean, yeah, it's great that talent from the UK is getting international exposure, but I watch their matches and... ugh. I can't get into it. I try to watch WCPW or ICW or PROGRESS and it's just so bad. It seems really low-rent. I'm probably the only one that feels this way, but it's something I've felt for awhile and it came to a head during the Cruiserweight Classic with Sabre Jr. and now it's getting worse with ROH and PWG. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I love ICW, but that may be because it is more character based than other promotions, and I like that. I have not watched enough Ospreay or Scrull to comment on them, but I was definitely underwhelmed by what I have seen of ZSJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintedbynumbers Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 I would take Rev Pro over PROGRESS but I do see what you mean with the over-exposure. A couple of years ago they tried it with NJPW talent and now it seems that the new flavor is UK talent. Osprey is great though, Marty has a decent heel character, and Noam Dar is hit or miss. With ZSJ if he has someone who can keep up with him (cesaro, Danielson, Hero) the match can easily be 5 stars, but I have also seen where Zack will phone it in. Sort of like 2005 ROH AJ Styles.
