Wrestling is, was, and always will be a niche product except for the one time every 15 years when it bubbles up to the mainstream. Chasing people who don't like it and would only care about it if it looked like WWE's bright and shiny big top production is a losing proposition anyway. WWE is chasing off its own fans in droves with its bland offering.
And come on. I've seen some bush league-looking venues. My favorite company only runs shows in a Reseda American Legion post, with 80s stereo speakers on the wall and a disco ball on the ceiling. ROH does not look bush league.

Moose is billed at 6'5" and 295, so he's probably legit 6'3 250 but still, there must be witchcraft at work as it's the only logical explanation for how someone that big can have a spear that shitty.
I thought Terminal 5 looked very cool and "ROH's tapings look bush league" has gone from legit complaint to dumb talking point. Their lighting has gotten worlds better and their HD looks pretty swell. Meltzer saying no American fans will go for any wrestling that doesn't look like WWE is a pretty pointless argument, too, since only WWE can afford to look like WWE anyway. Besides, the way WWE looks is pretty bland and played out. I wish WWE would switch it up and shoot in different looking places, but that's KD for ya.

Troma has no time for that girl. His life, his love and his lady IS LUCHA.

Skyline & Battle:Los Angeles were so similar they sued over it.
Sort of. Also, Skyline was a pile of shit, while I enjoyed Battle: LA as "Black Hawk Down...with Aliens." It also holds the distinction of being the only movie in history that Michelle Rodriguez lives through.
Has anyone seen Southpaw? Has anyone in the making of Southpaw seen a real life boxing match? The movie isn't bad, but all of those fights would have been stopped in the first round.
Yep, that's Movie Boxing for ya. It's nothing new, as we've lived through watching Rocky take 15 unprotected haymakers in a row while the ref stands there with his thumb in his ass.

On the car commercials tip, fuck every single Subaru commercial. What mechanic do Subaru owners go to in order to get their cars' "love" topped off?

Oh and I forgot to mention how eye-rollingly out of place the impossibly gorgeous Australian new inmate feels.

It's Gregg's default strawman argument whenever someone doesn't gush over a worker like he does. See earlier this year, when he claimed that no one would have a problem with the Roman Reigns push if he'd come from ROH or NJPW.
Scrolling right past Gregggg's posts is one of life's little pleasures.

Just basically binge watched Orange is the New Black season 3 and I was honestly bored. I get onto a lot of shows that have these 20+ episode seasons because the middle of the seasons just drag. I'm usually a big fan of the slow burn storytelling but in a case like this where there are only 13 episodes there is no reason for every episode not to be packed with crazy shit. Instead it took all season for anything interesting to happen. The only thing that really had me interested was Lori Petty's character which I guess tied into the "who is going to fuck Alex up" story arc. Last season bothered me because I felt like I was watching 2003 RAW where every episode ended with the heel on top with V outsmarting everybody, at every turn, until she randomly gets ran over which even that I felt like was shitty because nobody else at the prison got the "rub" of taking her out. Instead she was just randomly ran over and still go over on all those bitches without any real retaliation from any of them. Atleast that season was still interesting though this one wasn't. I don't think I'll be back for season 4 the show seems to have ran its course.
Oh man I'm maybe 7-8 episodes in and NOTHING is happening.
There's no really captivating major plot arc.
"Piper's panty business" feels like it's something out of a different show entirely, especially her "rally the troops" speech. What the fuck?
They're giving way too much time and plot to Crazy Eyes, probably because of her fan favorite status. "Oh, you enjoy this minor character? Well we'll ramp up her screen time 500% this season!"
Either the show's creators 1) believe whole heartedly in the binge nature of this show and, thus, feel they don't need the standard serialization hallmarks and can treat the show like one 13 hour movie split into uneven parts or 2) they're way too pleased with themselves and feel they can do no wrong. Either way, this season is fucking baffling.

Of all the weeks for me to move and change cable providers to one that doesn't have El Rey. I hope I don't get introduced to Matanza for getting this show via other means.

Cool, I'll give the dude a second chance.

That all looks amazing, except for Galloway. I've seen his stuff in Evolve and he just bores me. Maybe I'm biased (like I am with Alberto) because he has the WWE style/WWE midcard stink on him.
The Guerrilla Warfare match should be insane. Both members of Trevorette have proven they're ready to die for our amusement.

I'm personally looking forward to seeing what legendary ex-wrestler is going to be the first to obliviously defend Hogan's "freedom of speech" on a podcast and get his own Legends contract terminated.
Is Bill Watts still alive?

Might as well make this a separate thread since clearly this will have legs for a little bit.
I am going to move posts over so don't be surprised if things are shuttling around

I imagine all Vince has to do is send a text to Styles and Dunn that simply reads, "Benoit Protocol" and the scrubbing begins.

Hogan can use the n word because he is a person of color (that color being orange).

Did they just realize Owens is a dude of size? They hired the guy looking like that because he's a great wrestler with charisma to burn. The guy lost a little weight but he's never going to look like Vince's fantasy man. It's not like he was thin and then packed on 20lbs after he showed up on TV. This is WWE in a nutshell. No set direction...make a move and then change direction on it a few weeks later. Vince is a fucking loon.
To answer the question, I think Punk said something to the effect of, "things will never get better until Vince dies."
Also, it's amazing how, for two ostensibly straight males, Vince and Dunn spend an awful lot of time thinking about other men's bodies.

Gunkel looks like a young Al Franken.
"You're going to win, Ray, because you're good enough, you're smart enough and gosh darn it, people like you."

Anyone know where I can watch the LU episodes in english for free online? I don't get El Ray, and I don't speak spanish so the replays on the other station don't really help me.
it looks like watchwrestling.cc has them

Maybe AJ Styles is really "Jay Styles" but his parents named him in Pig Latin.

So I have Hulu+ and they're running an offer to add Showtime for $8.99 a month. For those who have it, is there enough on Showtime to make it worth adding?
Well there's the aforementioned Ray Donovan, which I enjoy. Come on JT, it's only 2 episodes in!
Masters of Sex was good but it's getting a little tiresome and I can't stand whatever Lizzy Caplan's voice affect is supposed to be. Can you go back and watch old shows? The first few seasons of Dexter were good before it shit the bed. Homeland starts up again in the fall is is a good show, though season 2 was a little meh. Overall, I'd give it a shot.

Sleaze and Ball - The Date Rapists.
Reminds me of when Bob Holly and Billy Gunn teamed for a bit and their finisher was the "Gunn Holly Bomb," or "GHB."

Which ones? All I can think of are Drago vs. Pentagón Jr. which may have happened in LU but I can't remember, and Hero/Thatcher & Gulak/End which happened in Evolve over Mania weekend. Besides, does it matter? Hero vs Thatcher at PWG will be far different from their Evolve match, for example.
