Shartnado

Great idea! And while you're at it, tell him to make a pitstop at the Garganos' house when Tegan Nox is coming for dinner, because I have a feeling his services are going to be needed badly over there, also! I'd call him myself, but I have no idea how to get in touch with him, so no go.

Why does this make me think of BoBo the Angsty Zebra?

IWGP belts have been glorious since that one that got kinda ruined by Brock from the get go. That was another one that I was in awe of since the first pic showed up. They may have only improved since then, but when it first showed up it was so next level that it was hard to imagine anything else living up to that.

I felt so bad for him, when all he wanted to do was work and show what he can do and they weren't using him even on house shows. He had that insane match with Dijakovic on World Collide and still, nothing. I'm very selfish in not wanting guys to leave WWE, because I want to keep on seeing them, but I was so happy to see him GTFO and just get a chance to do what he was literally begging to do. Let alone this level of rebirth! Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside (I mean the coffee helps, too, but still)! Not filing for Dark Order membership just yet, but I can see the are an altruistic bunch, despite the rather misleading name. May I suggest something less gloomy? Then we'll talk.

So, I take it nothing important or interesting happened while I was sleeping? *looks around* How long was I out for F's sakes?

I just watched the match and enjoyed the crap out of it! Wonderful stuff! Glad they got the chance to do that before Holland moved over to the States.

Sure, we are all hoping they will have no long-lasting effects from the infection, but that WAS a good joke!

Apparently there is a WALTER vs Ridge Holland match on this weeks NXT UK episode, just a heads up! I'll get around to it in a little bit.

All the time while watching it you are all like " are you sure it's not still early enough to just hug it out and apologize? Oh, no, they're going at it! Please be careful!"

I originally used that to describe Xia Brookside vs Candy Floss on NXT UK, but this was exactly like that as well.

Some thoughts a few days late, as usual. The main event is just starting so, I may edit this a bit later, as usual too! The opening 6 man street fight (or whatever) was terrific! Fandango using Breeze as a catapult right...in...the...nuts was just that, nuts! The forklift spot was amazing too! Great story of heroes overcoming the odds on their own and coming out on top! Really good stuff. Tegan Nox wanting to talk things over with Candice was really nice, but you know, I may still be rather new to this wrestling thing, but somehow I get a feeling they still end up fighting, try as she might. Candice vs Kacy is like watching two My Little Ponies trying to beat the fuck out of each other! Kacy obviously needed to follow up on her offence, even Kayden told her to stay on Candice. LaRae had no such issues, she was on Kacy like sharks in a tornado, if that was a thing. The ending was NASTY! Stop hurting Kacy, you mean pixie! Oh, so Candice DOES want to talk things over with Tegan? I still have a bad feeling about this... Bronson Reed continues to be awesome. I figured Theory would mess things up for him. Thatcher moving closer to challenging Priest for NA-title, good for him. Rhea vs Martinez in a cage? Um, ok. You may have piqued my interest the tiniest bit there. Do you have anything else I might look at before I decide? Oh, excuse me, what I meant to say was, please inject this straight into my eyeballs and make it a double, thanks! The main event got going after the half-way mark. Pulling for Finn, personally. Looking at the stats during the entrances, apparently Adam Cole is 210lbs and 6 feet tall? I had no idea I was 5'10" and 230lbs, but apparently I am, if that's the case! Out of these guys, I'm closest to Balor's physique, but I've got news for ya, at 190lbs, my definition looks NOTHING like that! It was really cool for Barrett to basically give Balor the credit for retiring him. The last two falls were really well done, but c'mon! Are you fucking kidding me? Quite lucky they have another Super Tuesday lined up, to ACTUALLY give us a winner, jeez! The match was good and exciting, but as so many others, I too feel that these guys have already had their time on top. Still, Balor next week, please!

Design #2 for the Pride title, no question. And yes, I'm fully aware of the "irony" of Shartnado going for number 2, so don't even start...

I feel the same way. Pretty much the second I saw it, I was like "that...is...awesome!"

OK, yeah. Either way, pretty bad. I'll grant you that.

Open mouth, insert foot! Unless he was trying to be funny in some incomprehensible way? "Lucha Express" could be explained away as "senior moments" thinking Luchasaurus or Lucha Bros, and "Marty Janela" is close to "Marty Jannetty" , although how do you get "Marty" from "Joey" ? Not his best outing, obviously.

SAVAGE! !!

Yeah, so as you can see, if clowns hate JR, not only can it be because of JR'S intolerance of those with bright coloured hair, but also because they are just lashing out due to the hatred bestowed upon them (unfairly or not ). ...oh, shit! JR hates clowns, because they are always trying to make him smile and keep pestering him, because he's physically unable to do so, and they are not aware of his condition. Fuck! I'm sorry. No more clowning on JR!

You're not wrong, but a lot of people DO hate clowns, too! Just saying. .. JR, like Mauro is definitely an acquired taste at this point, but he is giving an air of legitimacy to the product, despite the fact that he is starting to be pretty much out of touch with today's wrestling (I refrain from using the word product ). He will be phased out eventually, but as long as he keeps his foot out of his mouth for the most part, I see no harm in keeping him around, so he can do what he used to love. But I also think he shouldn't have to be on TV every week, either. ...also, JR is on record not liking Doink's green hair, so clowns in general, may have an issue with him.

,A friend of mine has been battling with hip and back pain for the past few years now, so anytime I hear anyone having similar issues, it hits home. His descriptions of his condition sound so damn painful and uncomfortable that I never want to hear anyone going through similar stuff! Good to hear that you are able to get around somehow, but yeah not putting any weight on any extremity for a longer period of time is nigh impossible. Unless you could somehow immobilise the leg so it doesn't touch the ground while you move around, or something? And that wouldn't be without its problems if you COULD somehow remove the other leg from the equation (not literally, obviously )! But hey, maybe you come up with a resourceful way to do it within the next 6 weeks!

Wrestlemania 23 is the last one I have as a DVD. I remember HBK coming out to the DX-theme, and thought it made him seem like more of a main eventer and also thought, "well, we know he means business now, if he's using his heel theme! "

I'm a little bit of an Al Perez fan, but only know him for his short and rather uneventful stint as a slightly above a jobber, but below an actual JTTS on '89-'90 WWF. That release giant wing -move he got to do on a Conquistador on Prime Time, was a cool-ass finisher, but that's probably way beside the point. Just saying it Gary Hart and me, if only for a little bit.

Oh, man! That sounds horrible! Bruised bone marrow just jumped pretty high on the list of terms never you want to hear your physician say! I hope you heal up without a surgery. It sounds like a really painful condition, can you like function in everyday life with it (aside from not being able to work, obviously) ? Get better soon! Well, get better period, but hopefully soon!

This makes me sad. Velocity can evoke nostalgic feelings in some, but I have little to no connection to it. Considering I have so much stuff that I haven't gotten around to watching from the time period, Velocity wouldn't be all that high on my list of "priorities", if you can call it that.

Ok, it could be the suits on the other men? Shelton does seem heavier than he was, but he's probably looked like that sine his return? MVP is way heavier than in 2009(ish), by the looks of things.

He's somewhat smaller than he used to be in 2007 and a whole bunch smaller than in his main roster debut. I don't think he's ever been this ripped before. I kinda wonder if you confused the Apollo Crews pic for Lashley, since I'm more amazed that he's been able to retain this much of his size even after 14 years.
