My tastes must have changed from puroresu to lucha because I'm now getting Meet Latina Women ads on this site as much as Meet Asian Women ads.

Oh that's exactly what's happening. You could tell by the way Goldberg came out, barely mentioned Lesnar and talked about the world title without once referring to another wrestler, or even the world champion by name. I predict we won't see or hear from Lesnar between now and Royal Rumble and he'll come in and eliminated Goldberg, setting up their last match at WM. You know, they could have king-sized Kevin Owens by having him come down while Goldberg was talking about his last title run, and had Owens say something like "There's one little problem, Grampa, I'm the world champion. I'm not just going to give this title. You're going to have to take it from me." You don't even ever have to have them wrestle, but just have him stand up for himself. I think that's the biggest problem with watching Raw, is just how many missed opportunities there are at elevating/getting people over. It's not even wins/losses, it's just having guys look tougher or like they give a shit.

Hard to make new stars when these guys are writing the show: 'Membah Bill Goldberg? 'Membah Shawn Michaels? 'Membah The Undertakah?

Hey you know what, for a guy to go from Indy jobber to main roster in 3 months is absolutely amazing. Congratulations James.

The bigger problem is that Baron was taken off the team due to a leg injury that he just seemed fine now. If Baron hobbles down on a crutch and blasts both guys with it, great. Instead, he runs in and beats up two guys and instead we got an exhibition of Shane McMahon's fists of fury.

Cesaro has no one but himself to blame for that loss. If you see him tapping and don't hear the bell, why the fuck would you let go?

Yeah but if he tries to buy just one anywhere in Toronto, the crowd will insist he gets 10.

Personally, I was an angry youth who was frequently getting into trouble fighting authority and I loved big boobs. WWF RAW was perfect for me.

I would love Dr. D as Santa Claus. At the mall, some kid tells him he's a fake santa, D slaps the shit out of the kid and asks him if that was fake.

I have seen a punch exchange like above since this:

Today is the first day I haven't had a drink in years. Without a doubt this'll be a difficult and shitty 8 days.

Just trademarked/registered a shitload of board names..

There's lots of great wrestling moments in your average calendar year of WWE. Enzo and Cass' debut. AJ Styles debut (Styles wins over Cena were pretty great, too). Strowman's first squash match on Raw. Nia Jax putting Alicia Fox through the barricade. Sasha-Charlotte getting the Raw main event (Replete with Charlotte's insane moonsault). Bayley's debut on the big roster. Goldberg's return promo. Daniel Bryan's return. The Miz promo on Daniel Bryan. Yeah, you have to wade through some crap to get there. But the highpoints outweight the lows. And if they don't for you, for the love of God, it's 2016, watch something else!

I feel like this conversation happens every year whenever the first guy goes out on RAW and says they are the first guy in the Rumble. It is obviously meant to mean that they (in this case Goldberg) are the first person to announce entry in to the Rumble, not that they will be be person who starts the Rumble match in the #1 spot.

It's for the same reason I still watch current WWE despite getting almost no enjoyment out of it. I'm chasing the wrestling dragon. It might take weeks. It might even take years. But I know deep down there's going to be a great moment or great payoff that is going to make all of this worth it.

Belt? It's a championship, PAL.

Today I went back to my apartment to watch princess robot bubblegum on tv while I actually went deer hunting irl. I did this to keep the game on for a while so my plants would grow at the grow house. when I got to the garage, I noticed a TRON bike laid down in the street so I proximity mined it then went upstairs. I was getting my camo on, half listening to the tv when I heard the kaboom and looked over to see I had gotten a bite. Agreed, its the little things. I got him 7 times in a row during that before I got bored with him. I gave him a pass and the lil twat came back later and got one back on me while I was in a pause menu or something.

Don't bump for Brock? No problem, he'll just kill you.

Dude. If WHOOSHES and irony were a renewable fuel source, we could permanently convert to wind power with that press statement.

Good, fuck off. Maybe Matt Millen will cry some more. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/18115641/former-penn-state-nittany-lions-players-upset-deandre-levy-comments-joe-paterno

Brock's follow up Tiger Knee from half way across the ring was sick too.

For as bad as WWE can be at times I am enjoying this past year or two way more than say post-mania 24 through Mania 29.

i luv u, lumbernerd steph

Or the time Brock got tired of his lack of ability and just potatoed the hell out of him.

The payoff has to be Triple H beating Goldberg once again to finally set the record straight that WWF > WCW and by transitive law HHH > Lesnar.

Bret's hair always got terrible after a few minutes of wrestling. By the end of Wrestlemania 12 he looked like a palette swapped Doink the Clown.

It was mentioned earlier that this show had only 5 matches. I just want to mention that I think 5 matches is the perfect amount. I can actually watch the entirety of a Takeover, whereas the standard Big 4 PPV is an absolute chore midway through.

I'm hoping for more fresh material. Coming soon, never before discussed topics: 1. Monday Night Warz! 2. NWO 3. Montreal Screwjob. 4. Mr. McMahon/Austin 5. WCW Died.

He can hold up signs like Chip Kelly only with words on them. "RUN THE BALL!"

It is pretty twisted that nothing makes me happier in this game than catching some dumb bastard in a clothing store and blocking him in with a sticky-bombed car. It's the little things.

He can't be pinned down because he doesn't know what he's doing. He's making it up as he's goes along.

"That's gotta be...that's gotta be....Cain!"

After posting news for almost 15 years now, This is the final Lucha Report as I feel like I haven't been doing everything I need to do to make this what it should be. There are a variety of reasons including mainly my workload at my dayjob has increased and it has become more of a chore than a joy of doing it. Now I love Lucha Libre with all my heart and have been a fan for 27 years now and that won't stop believe me...I will be looking at stuff and posting stuff on Twitter but it won't be as extensive as it has been in the past. Now there are some people I want to acknowledge..... Rob Bihari = Rob was my predecessor in ways as he used to do reports on the old Highspots message board and he passed on his email contacts to me to send my reports to when he decided to stop on his own. Rob has been a great asset to me over the years when I needed him and I thank him. Alfredo Esparza = We go back many years and it was an honor to be part of his awesome Luchaworld.com website for all these years. Alfredo also has been a tremendous asset for me all these years and I feel like I'm passing the Lucha Report over to him since he will be still posting it but with his own style and flair that has been doing already but it will be completely his now. Jose Fernandez & "Dr. Lucha" Steve Sims = They are the OG's of the game who always had the knowledge for me to rely on when needed for historical context. Two great men indeed. Black Terry Jr. = The main who inspired me to start digging for all the posters wherever I could find them to expose more underground groups and random shows. BT Jr. also is the man when it comes to Lucha Libre handhelds and I'm so pumped he will be working for powerbomb.tv now to expose his work to the masses even more. The Cubs Fan = Last but not least the man who is the hardest working man on the wrestling internet I think. He amazes me with how much he does in such a short amount of time. Either he has a body double.....robot...or something because he is a freak and it makes me envious at how much he can get done. Go to his site thecubsfan.com/cmll because it is the ultimate treasure trove for Lucha Libre life. Along with Fredo, I know that Cubs continue to do their awesome work to keep the masses updated on the happenings of Lucha Libre..... I also want to thank all the places that posted my reports such as F4Wonline.com, pwinsider.com, pwbts.com, gerweck.net, 1wrestling.com, Rudo Can't Fail Magazine, and lots more over the years. You guys have rocked and will rock forever so again thank you.... Well on that note....let's do one more for the road shall we.... "It's time to say goodbye, but I think goodbyes are sad and I'd much rather say hello. Hello to a new adventure."

Gallows and Anderson at Mania? Syxx and Nash at the HOF? 1/2 of the Progress card?

What about the Internet? Edit to add: it's kind of fun to complain about it and read others complaints about it. Because they are generally correct.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.

New Jack claims he "didn't like Austin's attitude" and that Austin disrespected him. Supposedly, Austin went to New Jack before the match to go over the layout of the match, and what Austin proposed involved him getting in a decent bit of offense and Jack selling for him. New Jack thought Austin should basically job for him and not put himself over as being at his (New Jack's) level. New Jack also claims they had heat in Smoky Mountain over Austin lying to make himself look good and NJ calling him out for it, So... yeah... New Jack being New Jack. Take New Jack's version of events with as many truckloads of salt as you can afford.

Called it. And love it. Goldberg should retire on Raw and Brock should just go on a rampage. I think Sami Zayn needs an F-5. I posted:

Don't do it, man.

I wish Dave would do a long history piece about how we reached the point where the biggest draws in the company are Goldberg and Shane.

Apparently, Sasha was in the Roode Choir last night. Ha.

Going off the work of The Revival over the last 2 years i would say Dawson probably put it together. The Revival is the one constant.

You both forgot to say "Damn it Steve"

Also: Brutus Beefcake has Down Syndrome

Separated at birth?
