    I mean I think a lot of it depends on Harrison's adjustments and if the Mayra Bueno Silva fight was just a bad at the office for Holm. Holly looked terrible in that fight. And that one, given how Silva looked against Pennington, probably could have been Holm by decision years ago.

    I think they had one the night after Canadian Stampede off the top of my head.

    I would say if you haven't seen Kayla Harrison, I would say in certain areas, she looks like a novice especially when she's in a totally different situation than she's use to. She's fought Larissa Pacheco multiple times and in the first fight, she clearly won. It wasn't as dominant as her other fights. Then the next couple times, she looked a bit out of sorts especially the last fight where she didn't do anything and lost to Pacheco. Pacheco is much better than she showed in the UFC, but she isn't exactly doing anything that would uniquely bedevil folks. She was just more experienced than Kayla and also 15-20 pounds heavier than she was in the UFC. More importantly, in the latter fights with Harrison, she managed to figure her out and use her weight functionally against Harrison. Now all that said, I think Harrison is more like a Mackenzie Dern than a Ronda Rousey. She's not going to pull guard like a Dern but she isn't going to spam the same techniques as Ronda did. I think she is kinda like a Sara McMann mixed with Dern. In addition, Rousey vs. Holm was almost ten years ago now. Yeah, I think Holly's experience could be very valuable. However, she doesn't have the explosion she had years ago. There have been several moments of the last few years where she has looked every bit her age. Keep in mind, she had a long fighting career before MMA. There is a lot of wear and tear on her body. Meanwhile, I think if Harrison has been working on a lot of weaknesses at American Top Team, she can look better than she has been at the end of her PFL run. I think the made up weight class (for women) didn't help her one bit in terms of growth. It was either fight girls with just as much as experience as her OR fight someone with three times the experience. It was a no win situation or room for growth. I think this is her sink or swim moment because honestly she was meant to be in UFC from the beginning. Same with MVP. It was just a question of when. Now we're about to see if she was worth the investment. I think you can say the same for Bo Nickal as well. There is a lot riding on his fight with Brundage. He has to deliver as well.

    This is all going for naught when WWE signs Ospreay in like 3 years to wrestle 35 times a year. Then all sudden, it's not going to be an issue and he's one of the hardest working men in pro wrestling. I mean they signed someone who had multiple physical altercations backstage. I think there aren't too many things they wouldn't be able to get over.

    The grind doesn't recognize illness and any other characteristics of weakness. Like sneezing.

    I believe they have been billing their respective Saturday and Sunday live events as that for the last couple years. They alternate between those titles and Road to Wrestlemania/Supershow/Holiday themed ones.

    I was going to go with The Bikeriders, but I played it safe.

    You say that this in the same thread where someone posted a picture of Tony Schiavone 25 years apart and he doesn't have a single strand of white hair. He also has a black goatee. The man is Benjamin Button.

    Without Googling it, Vaquer has wrestled against or with Lluvia, La Catalina, and Zeuxis like a billion times. She is also flying back and forth between countries every week and also between Mexico City and Guadalajara. She also wrestled AZM tonight at Windy City Riot. She is absolutely killing it.

    Curt looks mischievous as fuck, man. He looks like the dude who might set the whole school on fire. You know if you wrestle 100 matches this year for WWE, they give you free Pizza Hut for a year. That's either a reward or punishment.

    I think there is an episode of What Happened When recently where Frankie Lancaster runs out as one of the extras to break something up or he's in like a random match. It led to this exchange. Tony: I think that's Frankie Lancaster. Conrad:.....Who the fuck is Frankie Lancaster?!
  21. Elsalvajeloco
    Lancaster was around a LONG time in the business. Not Chick Donovan lifer long, but a good amount of time. He was Frank/Frankie Lane in the territory days (mainly Florida, but stints in Memphis, World Class, Mid Atlantic, Georgia, Mid South and UWF, Puerto Rico, and Continental). He also got to tag with Curt Hennig in All Japan. He did various stints with WCW. However, he did a bunch of enhancement matches on Saturday Night and Worldwide and other syndicated shows. Lancaster is one those guys who was the definition of a vanilla wrestler down to the name. Good hand though.
  22. Elsalvajeloco
    I know when it came to Hogan and his pay, Bischoff absolutely denied the shifting around of money when it came to Meltzer reporting that WCW moved Hogan's salary around to make it appear WCW was more profitable than they actually were. On subsequent shows, Bischoff said other divisions within Turner got to move their losses over to WCW. So I am assuming his take is indeed that WCW had to take on everyone's losses as opposed to it being the other way around. My question is when did that stop if it did happen? If you have a budget and stay within that budget, does those losses being move over count against your budget?

    If the artist in question wasn't "cancelled", there could be room for a T-shirt in wrestling with "I Don't See Nothing Wrong With a Little Bump N Grind". Matter of fact, surprised that there wasn't a PWG event titled that. ...Did he talk like Nikita? Especially being on the wrestling team. I am just picturing a guy looking and built like Aleksandr Karelin tossing people around like little children but with a ridiculous, over the top phony accent.
  24. Elsalvajeloco
    I take it all of those are not pictures as seniors and just ones they could find. Zenk looks like fucking McLovin in his picture while Brady Boone and Nikita look like 25 going on 35. Nord either could be 17/18 or 23.

    I believe Steve Simpson relocated to Lithuania.
