Holy fuck I just realized I asked for something like this during March Madness. Never did I think this would ever happen, yet it's now a possibility. This shit's blowing my mind, all of it. Monday I was left speechless just trying to process the idea of these four coming over, especially Nakamura. Raw immediately became a non-factor as I spent the time trying to wrap my head around this. Fucking crazy. For Nakamura, ideally I'd hope they keep every single thing about him intact, including the music (that theme rules so much) AJ should be able to fit right in, looking forward to what he does. And I honestly like Doc and Anderson a lot. Talk'n Shop really showed off their personalities, and as long as they can tone down the non-PG stuff they should be fine. Either way, this year is going to be very interesting and I'm excited to see what happens.

That new Godzilla movie looks like a scary good time. I would love to see the Japan version untouched when it hits the states. Just put subtitles and let the good times roll. And I'm so happy to have a DVR, it took a helluva lot the past two years with El Rey's Godzilla marathon. Still sitting on some from last year I need to get around to. But I can say nothing will ever top the original. That movie hit all the right notes for me. You had people to care about, Godzilla fucking shit up and it was glorious. If they can give characters I care about for the new one this might come awfully close to being my all-time favorite.

Lio might be a CZW guy, but I've seen him a lot in MCW. At the last show he had a really match that wasn't all about flippy movez. I think he's going to fare quite nicely, just wish I knew about this before seeing him last Saturday.

Cosby's lawyer was on Today Show, and holy crapola she's a piece of work. It's like she was the only lawyer batty enough to take the case.

Ooh, now's a good time to take advantage of that sale. Sometimes it does pay to be patient.

They all look great,really feel most of them are spot on. Trish and Perfect got a holy shit reaction from me.

The game's likely going to be Pong, and Xavier will likely be thinking "Don't beat Vince, don't beat Vince, for the love of everything don't beat Vince!"

I forgot Legends pack is out. I can't wait to get home and try it out. Only image I saw was of Trish and she looked great (especially given how bad they can be with getting the looks of the Divas right) Need to lookup how the others fared.

Saw it earlier, will have more thoughts later. But holy shit Han's death did us in. So fucking heavy.

All that I ask is that Talk'n Shop and VIP Lounge stay relatively unscathed (aside from Alice leaving VIP, of course) Those two shows are fantastic listens for very different reasons. But it sure sounds like a lot of crazy shit is going on with MLW lately.

Yeah, pretty much. After slogging through SD when 36th Chamber came on everything got so much better. Any word yet on what Godzilla movies are coming on next week? I love watching them, but am hoping for more variety this time around.

Really fun show. Was interesting watching it at work, especially with Nia/Bayley where I was super into it. When she won I really wanted to react in some way and it took some effort to not do that. Loved Asuka/Emma, Emma looked strong and they had me guessing at the end with the attempted screwy finishes. I liked the tag title match and they had me going near the end when Enzo/Cass did their finisher. If only Cass wasn't so in the moment he could have avoided the save. And the chants for Enzo/Cass had me laughing. Crews/Corbin did nothing for me, and I like both guys. In terms of match placement this should have been the buffer match between Bayley/Nia and the main. A similar deal happened at Brooklyn where after Bayley's match I didn't have as much excitement as I should have had for the main. Similar situation happened this time around. Regarding Bayley/Nia, I wish Nia was knocked out with that choke and didn't tap, definitely a booking misstep. But they could totally spin this as Nia knowing she was ill-prepared with her smiling and the song and the cocky pins. With the legdrops they didn't have the air they normally do in her squash matches. Why not spin that into her knowing she didn't crush Bayley with it like she normally does. I'd be happy as can be if Nia goes all "Fuck this", gets super pissed off and the music is more evil. A better finisher that looks more powerful would be good to. As for the crowd, I loved the song they did for her when they showed clips from the house shows. While I liked it for the beginning of this match, they really should have dropped that. Joe/Finn was technically good and I liked what they were doing with the match. But man did it miss the hate that it should have brought. If this is Finn's attempt at being pissed off with the demon side, then changes need to be made fast. The Jack the Ripper thing was what it was, loved the body paint and the back especially. The aforementioned buffer match of Crews/Corbin would have done wonders to get me into this, but it is what it is.

I actually really liked Alice. I don't listen to Cornette's podcast nor care to really, but I heard a lot about how she wasn't liked on there. She was part of the VIP Lounge with MVP and I really liked her on there. She wasn't parroting ideas and was more giving her take on a topic. So at least for that she'll be missed (well, by me at least) She did mention Jim's views on there and she did say she wasn't cool with it. Didn't sound horribly pissed off about it, but did say she tried to take him to task.

Dawson is the bald headed guy.

Mainly to avoid spoilers. For Beast in the East I woke up and turned on wifi on the phone. Right away WWE spoiled the result of Finn/Owens. So pissed off about that one. And besides, when it's slow as anything at work it's a good way to kill time.

As much as I want to gripe about this airing at 3 EST, I don't see the sense in that. People in the UK have to watch wrestling live in weird times all the time. So sure, no complaints here. Now I do wish it aired Saturday instead of Wednesday, but again, UK puts up with seeing Raw late at night. The only thing I'm hoping for is nothing insane goes on at work for two hours. That's all I ask. But yeah, really hyped for the show.

Really wish they had a show closer to Maryland (Philly would be a great option) But I'm hoping later next year they'll have more cities to go to. And Library Dude, you and the other folks who went to that show deserve a billion gold stars. The chants for Jordan/Gable and Bayley were tremendous.

That is definitely one of the top shirts they've made this year. Holy shit that's fantastic. EDIT: Just looking at this more, and am in such awe of it. They absolutely nailed it, whether people know what it's about or not it's an outstanding design.

I'm delighted to know if Smackdown is not worth watching I'll always have 36th Chamber to keep me entertained. It's like a movie version of comfort food for a cold night.

Bayley put videos up of the crowd doing those chants. That was so wonderfully awesome, seemed like a helluva crowd.

Absolutely, Godderz really impressed me in that one.

I normally make the mistake of watching this right after NXT. So after a normally awesome show in NXT, I pretty much "hatewatch" TNA. Decided to hold off seeing this week until today and what a difference. Don't care for Sheera so just avoided that match. But I noticed starting in Godderz/Hardy match how suprisingly good Josh and especially Elijah can be. Compared to what we normally get with WWE this was great. And really loved the main event, awesome last few minutes. And again, I'll give Josh credit and say he brought the urgency in his calling. Good stuff all-around.

Between the Asuka and Bayley shirts, I'm pretty sure at this rate my wife will have as many wrestling shirts as I do. Considering how many I have that'll be quite something.

Well, is it really a heel turn if he's being forced to do it? In that situation no matter what situation you're fucked. But if he's going to risk losing somebody, might as well be the guy he barely knows.

I've looked around for one, but haven't found anything other than something like a "Wrestling Booker" game that I don't think had any reviews and cost money, so I didn't download it. Along the same lines, has anyone bought the WWE 2K mobile game? Considered buying that, but passed when I saw it was $8. Looking at it it just didn't seem like a worthwhile option. You might be better off with those MDickie games. I've enjoyed his Wrestling Revolution and Booking Revolution games, and the MMA one he has now is fun too.
