Whoever wrote that for James Brown is a winner.
Exactly. Between his reading style and TV voice, it came off more contrived and scripted than a WWE promo. Something like this didn't need to be delivered in the same style as today's lineup updates.

Can I divorce my hometown? Because these Baltimorons wearing Rice jerseys and defending this clown make me sick.

For all of Triple H's flaws, at least he'd never deny being in the wrestling business.
That's a huge reason I'm looking forward to HHH taking over. He's not ashamed of wrestling and doesn't come off like he secretly wishes he was something else like Vince does. I do hope he has more control over the day-to-day than Steph when it happens, though, because crazy is an inherited trait.

He gave Frank Mir a career. The loudmouth douche was set up as a tomato can but won on a fluke and he never shut up about it.
-
I think he was also exposed in WWE because his size was such a non-factor there. He was big for ECW and Japan, then not so much for WCW, and definitely not so much for WWE. And facially he looked like a dude you'd get a home loan from.
Wasn't he working as a realtor when he died?
Though, I'll admit, probably not a very good one

PWI's ratings back in he 80s were solid, too. The Road Warriors were ranked as the #1 tag team in the world forever, even though they didn't hold the belts most of that time. Pretty good gimmick.

By the way, this is the worst local TV spot to hit the DC area since Eastern Motors

American advertising has gotten so homogenous that there's a commercial that always airs during football where I'm not sure if it's for:
- Dick pills
- Big fucking trucks
- Shitty American lager
Until the actual product shows up. Essentially, they're all "manly men doing manly things, manly, definitely non homo things that you need our product to do."

OH MAN Wrestling Superstars' dream matches were the shit. I remember they did a tag team tournament where the gimmick was the current teams were all mixed up and picked out of a hat, so you ended up with something like Eaton & Morton vs Lane and Gibson in a semifinal. They also had an issue where the dream match was Hogan vs Tyson. I loved all that as a kid.

Apparently, marks for Japan care a lot. Everything in wrestling is phony, it's all just business and nothing matters in 2014...except the main title from the magical land of hentai and ritual ball washing.
Common sense and fanboy-ism are two different things. AJ Styles losing to Roderick Strong is on the net in a matter of minutes. Shortly afterwards it'll reach the japanese online fanbase and from then on it could easily reach something more accessible like say Tokyo Sports. But it seems you'd rather troll than think and provide arguments.
Buddy, I'm not trolling. I just don't see it. Not everyone who disagrees with you is trolling. Come on, man.
If that's the concern, that fans in japan are giant marks who will lose their shit over a their champ jobbing, then I guess that's cool. I give them more credit than that, though. I think a lot of the issue here is smart mark American fans who take Japan too seriously.

All boner pill commercials must die. Every single one features a guy who is a total grey haired schlub or, at the very least, looks like granpa got into the Just for Men stockpile and isn't fooling anyone, who absolutely looks his age, while his "wife" looks like she just strolled off a MILF porn set.
Man: kinda chubby, wrinkly, dull, looks around 55-60
Woman: Sela Ward at her milfiest, looking maybe 40ish

It may have been from one of the competing magazines like Wrestling Eye or the Main Event, but I remember a story about how Honky Tonk Man made a deal with the evil spirits of the Mississippi Delta in order to become so dominant in the WWF. I guess the best explanation for such a chump holding the IC title so long was that supernatural forces had to be involved.

I'm shocked there are folks who have no issue with the IWGP champion doing a job on a PWG show. The second most important champion in the world should not be dropping falls in front of 400 people in California.
Bad news about Silas Young going on the injured list. His pro-bullying promos the last few weeks have been great.
He lost by DQ...like the only DQ in PWG history
and once again, who cares?

He’s somebody who thinks more of himself than really exists....Nobody cares about Vince Russo at Spike TV...Nobody cares or knows who he is.
God Damn. That should go on his tombstone.
As someone new to this iteration of DVDVR, can one of you please explain what "stuffing instead of potatoes" is a filter for?

Holy crap - drake younger is only 30?
He's got some rough mileage on him

I really like Silas' character and promos. I even like that he looks like Bill Cowher (I'm a Steeler fan).
I have always thought that. It freaks me out how much he looks like Cowher. Maybe they can find a Mike Tomlin lookalike to manage him (his gimmick is that he tries to trip his opponents as they run the ropes).

Ravens announce that fans can exchange their Ray Rice jersey in at the stadium store
I received an email from a local jewelry/Ravens memorabilia store who is accepting returns on all Rice-related merch and is also donating an amount equal to any return to a local battered women's shelter.

I do believe Ray Rice's NFL career is over. The outrage and how far he has to go to reverse the outrage inside teams... I believe he's done
Nah. Mike Vick ran a criminal organization that tortured and killed a shitload of dogs and he was let back in the league and, sadly, hitting a woman is more socially acceptable than running an illegal dogfighting ring. Look at how many people looked the other way between when the Rice allegations came out and yesterday. Shit, he even got a standing ovation in the preseason even though everybody knew what he did. People WANT a reason to look the other way.
Like many others have already said, all he'll have to do is lay low and then make some nice apology theater and enough people will accept it for him to play again.

Vince Russo would probably read the TNA News thread and be quite unhappy with a lot of us.
It would be worth it to see 200 individual replies that start with "BRO" and end with rambling mental gymnastics explaining how none of it was his fault.

The Midnight Spousal Abuser doesn't have a good ring to it tho.

Is NJPW really important enough for its champion to not job in the U.S.?
Are PWG and its indy fans who will forget about a DQ finish as soon as someone does a top rope frankensteiner on the floor in the next match important enough to warrant the IWGP Heavyweight Champion doing a clean job?
Is it far past cliche to post "u mad?" You're going out of your way to shit on an indy company and its fans because I dared question whether your favorite puro fake fighting organization is as important as you think it is. You are literally taking this personally and lashing out. That would be funny if it weren't so sad. Does Chris Coey still post here? Weeboo puro smark elitism was cute way back in the days of the old green board when it was hard to get hold of some NJPW tapes, so some puro knowledge made you "better" than other fans, but today it's just pathetic.
I knew there'd be at least one guy who'd just lash out like a baby instead of debating the point. Congrats on being that guy.

Is NJPW really important enough for its champion to not job in the U.S.? Calling them the number two company in the world is really damning with faint praise and is not really a big achievement. Wrestling has diminished so much that it's really WWE and then everybody else. When NJPW guys come to the U.S., they work with ROH, a company whose only TV outlet is on owner-operated stations in secondary and even smaller markets and who has almost zero PPV presence. I say all this not as a knock on NJPW, but just to qualify my opinion that it would not have mattered for AJ to do a job at an American Legion in Reseda in front of 400 people (ps no diss I love PWG more than any other wrestling right now).

No problem. In my own opinion, and YMMV, it needed to be delivered with no "style" at all, like a real human being just talking to you. Less polished, more off the cuff, or how about do away with the script entirely? Maybe it's my nigh worthless mass comm degree talking but the way he did it came off as really phony. There's broadcasting and there's talking. He came off like a polished broadcaster just broadcasting some bit of info, not a real person expressing an urgent opinion on a very important subject.
