They made the babyface look stupid. The second he put Paul in the Vice, everyone and their mother knew Brock was gonna break the hold and win the match. CM Punk looked like a stupid dumbass. If he just kicks Paul in the head, and turns right back to Brock, but Brock has already recovered because he's an inhuman monster, that's fine. Punk had to do something about Paul, and the outside interference cost him the match. But instead, Punk being fucking stupid and torturing Heyman while the 300 lb UFC champion ubermensch was recovering... That's on Mr. Brooks. I dunno, I think it still sort of works with the story they were telling. Punk was only ever able to gain an advantage over Brock because he was basically throwing himself at him, and using physics and weapons against him. Anytime Punk got too confident and tried going toe to toe with Brock, Brock would take over and beat the shit out of him. So Punk going after Heyman like that is just another example of his hubris getting the better of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much detail. EWR is having a resurgence thanks to Janela and some indy guys on Twitter, but this is totally worth 20ish dollars. I'm still an EWR guy 15 years later, so I always wonder if the level of detail in TEW would be kind of overwhelming. EWR to me is good because I'll just book a show or two real quick on a random night before bed or something just to kinda cool out from the day, like how some people read or watch TV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlaeBlazer Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I’m new to this place and I just discovered Pro Wrestling Only. What’s the difference between DVDVR and Pro Wrestling Only? They look basically the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get the computer to streamline a lot of the detail oriented shit or features that make life more difficult/realistic if that's what you want.

Wreddit has a lot of younger posters who think they know more than they do. DVDVR has a lot of older posters here, which is good because most of us are too old for that bullshit and just want to talk some wrestling. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I remember when this place only talked about wrestling. I remember the current events thread. The green background and yellow links. The sleaze thread. The ... adult forum. I've been here forever, it seems. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I came here because I was very frustrated with Wreddit. I still go there but I definitely needed an alternative. There are so many people there who are more casual or only watch one promotion but think they know so much about wrestling as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Wreddit to me is like Meltzer or cagematch ratings — a useful tool to keep up with general trends and prevailing opinions. At a surface level. Nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a broader sense - if you want non wrestling discussion you are going to only find it here. Frankly there are plenty of people here who ignore the Wrestling Forum and just visit for the Movies and Video Games or Sports. Specifically - there are certain areas that discussion is lively here than there (and vice versa) Just picking one randomly off the top of my head - I would say you find the discussion of Joshi far greater here. As you poke around both places - you will find the stuff you are looking for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
