I was really amazed they let him call it the Curbstomp. That word has specifically be associated to hate groups and gangs in my head since I was a kid.

Obviously Baron Corbin never works longer matches at house shows or when he shows up to work at a performance center dedicated to turning him into a pro wrestler every single day. That big gym with the 17 rings in it is entirely for show.

A cat who knows he will spend the rest of his life being dressed up in very silly outfits.
All of her cats are just still really upset about Montreal.
Actually this cat remembers Montreal. But it's over it. It's water under the bridge. The cat is not going to be bitter about Montreal.
This cat figures it was all a work, anyway.

I feel like they're getting closer with Crow. Just drop the hacker stuff and just make him a tiny wrecking ball Tajiri buzzsaw tazmanian devil that you shouldn't get near. Just let his character be his reality: that he is a tiny thing that will eat your arm.
CJ Parker is going to one hell of a centerpiece in the indies. Wish the dude well.
I really dug Shoot Nation. I have also realized the one thing that the Enzo/Cass/Carmella trio needs:
A small boy in a Newsies cap from 1920's New Jersey. "And this here is The Kid, and he's from 1924. And you can't teach that." And the Kid just acts adorable and then passes a wrench to Enzo to brain guys.
And then WWE makes a billion dollars.
I love BLUE PANTS and I love that she is adapting to the WWE style even with her goofy character and music. The hardcam pose was delightful. 'The Narcissist' Sex Luger is green as hell, but she'll get there. She's no worse than Ryback when he showed up. I love that she just talks shit like a 90's Capcom game bad guy.

The moment they had Bryan connect their Hell No thread back into Kane's current angle I was all in.
-
Now that their relationship is on the mend, maybe Kane can lend DBry his DDP yoga DVDs.
If he does retire it will be fascinating to watch how easily we all slip back into calling him Bryan Danielson.

That's...not what science fiction is...
'booker' is carny wrestling slang for 'teleportation vortex engineer'

I'd want to see DEMBOYZ get signed because I want them to wrestle the Primetime Players so that Darren can start handing out receipts for tweets.
It always bugs me when people lump in Mark with the homophobic shit too. It was only Jay who said stuff.
In all fairness I'm not familiar enough with the Briscoes to be positive which is which. I know one is sort of doopy and fun and people like him, and the other one is the other one.

Maybe I just like absurdly long names but I wouldn't mind seeing a masked Chris Hero show up billed as That Young Knock Out Kid. Mainly I just want to watch Striker and Vamp get fed up with saying it constantly.
-
I really liked the Primetime Players taped promo, but shame on editing for not splitting it up it into jumpcuts. The little lulls were hurting the lulz.
Also, what are they going to do being down an Uso? I'd be down with Damien Usedow joining the superkick party.

If Stephen Amell wants to appear with the WWE he either needs to get cast on a USA show or be a rapper no one cares about anymore.
Or a Muppet.
Or just wait 10 years when Vince finally catches up to 2015 and finds out what "Arrow" is
"lets get that Batman kid in here"

I am so tired of the following things:
- John Cena getting booed to death and the announcers calling it a split crowd
- Those audiences immediately popping the second Cena says something happy clappy about their city
But I do love Bad News Barrett and I like it when he elbows John Cena in the face.
Do women die if they take an over the top rope bump? The women getting gently pushed off the of the apron under the bottom rope feels worse than lingerie pudding matches at this point.
Paige had a great promo, Namoi having a character beyond 'My name is Naomi and my butt will hit you' should be fun.
Nikki Bella's new 'my dad owns a successful dealership' character RULES. I HAVE SO MANY SOCCER TROPHIES

I'd buy an Aerostar or Drago mask but there's no way I could shoulder that kind of responsibility.
-
Man, the tapings yesterday were cool as fuck. I met a lot of new folks so I dunno if Scraylo was one or not but I hope it was a good time for you too dude.
Bought a sweet Perro tribute Pentagon shirt that is half his face and half Perro, with the cero miedo on the back.
Bought a mask for my friend. Like his actual mask. Beautiful workmanship.
Nice guy, really accomodating to the fans.
Then I saw Cuerno and introduced myself since I was telling him I wanted one of his shirts on twitter. He's a good dude. Bought the shirt from him- half Cuerno half Fantasma on a giant skull- and fuck, it's sweet. Wearing that one today.
Cuerno is ripped as fuck dude
I'll be there on the 18th, see you there?
Yeah dude, I'll be there. If you wanted to buy wrestler-specific t-shirts from the guys themselves, I'd bring cash and arrive early (I suggest that anyway- you get better seats showing up early and you need cash for the food truck anyway)
Mariachi Loco better be working that fucking truck

So is it fair to say that based solely on crowd reaction, the most "over" wrestlers in Lucha Underground would probably be (in approximate order):
- Pentagon Jr
- Alberto El Patron
- Mil Muertes
- Son of Havoc
- Prince Puma
- Johnny Mundo
- King Cuerno
?
Based on the last two episodes I'd put Havoc over Mil.

AR Fox has left EVOLVE
AR Fox's statement
Just sayin. This is the cards for next weeks EVOLVE shows. It’s 9 days away and not one match announced on this card. And since there’s a huge lack of communication checking the “DGUSA” website is how I know if I’m booked or not. So when there was about two weeks left I booked myself. And now they wanna take it personally that I was making sure I lined up booking so I didn’t have an empty weekend without even tryin to understand. Cause honestly my loyalty was to them of if we just talked like “adults” for a few mins I woulda ended up doin EVOLVE anyway cause that’s how I am. But instead I got responses in all caps with cusses. And tryin to future endeavor me like the WWE. Tellin me they wish me the best and hope to see me on Lucha Underground when a few months back they held me back from it when Lucha sent me details on a contract ha. And yea I didn’t like they flights they got me cause they were to the wrong f**kin state of course I didn’t like having my girl drive me an hour and a half to the airport and then pick me from there which means we’d hit tolls 4xs when they coulda just flew my from CT (like every other promoter that flies me) where the airport is 30 mins away from me with no tolls. So yea man they just made this shit into a storyline but this is what it is. Flights wouldnt of been an issue I still drive 15 hrs to shows. It was jus that our relation is goin on 5 years. I jus want everyone to Know I’m cool n jus wanna wrestle but they got sensitive way too quick over a booking.
Gabe's response
I am very disappointed to read Fox’s statement. He has been a very valuable member of our roster and I’ve enjoyed working with him through the years. We’ve had some great times together on the road.I am very disheartened to read this but I must clarify a few things:
Fox confirmed the April 17th and 18th dates via text with me on March 17th. I contacted him on Facebook messenger on Monday to go over his matches for Florida. He then informed he had taken another booking on April 18th.Without getting into great detail on the conversation, I treated Fox with the respect he deserved after everything we had been through together. He claimed that I “cussed” him”. I said the F word once in the context of saying, “This is F’d up.”
Fox also claims I used all caps, implying I was yelling at him. The only word in capital is the word “Never” in the context that we never canceled a booking on him.I am very disappointed and sorry that our relationship has ended this way and wish Fox the greatest of success.
This whole exchange makes me a very sad pro wrestling fan. Can you imagine Harley Race getting pissed off because someone texted him in all caps.
WWE really did have it right when they called themselves "Live action entertainment". Cuz two dudes going on the internet to complain about people being mean via Facebook/Twitter ain't pro wrestling to me.
If I ever start a wrestling promotion it will be called All Caps With Cusses Wrestling

Thought this episode was pretty great.
The trios match was just so, so fun. Three of the best babyface highflyers just getting to bounce and flip around the story heavy Rudo trio was a great combination. The idea of 'main event' and 'midcard' almost doesn't apply to Lucha Underground because everyone's stories are well told and everyone gets the chance to matter. Anyone in the Love Triangle trios team could get a shot at Puma next week and I'd completely buy it.
Moving into Sexy Star vs. Superfly...If this were WWE, Vince (who supposedly hates wrestling for wrestlings sake) would just have these three fight each other 46,000 times with no stakes and who cares. However, LU gives the match weight with Dario Cuerto saying 'yeah, there's no real reason for you guys to fight so I'm forcing one on you.' It's so simple and effective and it makes a filler match life and death important for both characters.
I don't think there is a single fighter on the roster I get tired of seeing: When King Cuerno rolled out with Cage and Texano as his partners I actually stood up and went OHH SHIT. These two aren't Kane and Big Show: LU has made them look like world killers and it's a big deal that they've teamed with Cuerno. Texano's losses to El Patron haven't made him look weak so much as they make El Patron look top shelf, so you combine a proven bad ass like Cuerno with a guy Puma barely survived in Cage and team them with a world class champion with something to prove? That's a combination I am invested in the good guys trying to survive. I honestly don't think they can. It's nice to feel like a kid that is worried Earthquake is gonna jump on a snake and then break someone's ribs.
On the other end, Puma gets a championship upgrade with his sweet new puma hoodie, and his very first opponent steps in to have his back. Konnan doesn't want Puma trusting Johnny Mundo, but a lot of people don't think Puma should be trusting Konnan. I'm even interested in how Hernandez plays into this. Are he and Konnan still friends from the LAX days? The tecnico alliance is paper thin, and for compelling reasons beyond 'one time you punched me by accident.'

Not sure if it is weird that they treating this like this show is way beyond his scope in his career. I mean granted that he never wrestled in front of 65 to 70 thousand but I would think he worked some 30,000 - 40,000 shows in Japan before. Hell as a main eventer even. But I guess we are supposed to act like KENTA never existed
How many Japanese wrestlers have been on Wrestlemania, 10 at the most maybe? It's a big accomplishment.
Plus, the entire last part of NXT was dedicated to the road from KENTA to Itami at Mania. Who is acting like KENTA doesn't exist? What else do you need beyond a ten minute video package developing the character of KENTA, the Japanese superstar who left his high spot in Japan to take a chance in another country, starting over on the card (literally his words) under a new moniker and making his Mania debut within 6 months? They even cap it with a montage of people saying moves that he invented and needs to take back.
Our boy Hideo is being treated as a huge deal.

If your responses to this thread aren't just reposting that MASK clip over and over, you're wasting your time.

I may have just gotten really into the idea of the champ being a monster that only shows up for special occasions, but I feel like I've already seen Seth Rollins, World Heavyweight Champion too much. He should be busy being the biggest celebrity of all time, not wrestling matches on Raw against rookies and getting into fights with Kane.
I agree, with WWE having Cena and Bryan with the secondary titles they could easily afford to have Rollins do less in the ring to make it seem more special when he does have a singles match. I mean they have plenty of wrestlers to fill a RAW card, I don't think Rollins should disappear for months like Brock does but he doesn't need to be in matches every week.
He should constantly be doing stuff that isn't wrestling on the show, like photoshoots for companies or being interviewed by a documentary crew that is doing a huge thing about his rise to greatness. Key to the city ceremonies, or Big Brother Big Sister appearances that end up like the SNL Peyton Manning sketch.
Or wrestling Jamie Noble for charity events

The Really Swell News Thread
in LAND OF CONFUSION
Posted
Random but fun news for me: I got to publish a funny book with Devastator Press, a comedy publishing house I've always really enjoyed. It's a book called Leg Drop Digest, a parody of old wrestling mags. Brian Kendrick makes a cameo and I got a good DVDVR nod in. You can grab a digital copy for a buck!
