Penta El Zero Miedo Appears At AAA Lucha Libre Event | Fightful News

BOO!

I want someone to zoom in on that so it's just an ENORMOUS closeup of just the head and then we can use it to taunt Natural 😆 And use it as an emoji on the Discord!

Now what dastardly fiend would go and do that?

*checks admin list*

Hehehehehehehehe....

Love ya, Natural but I could use some new emojis on there.

What would the wrestling equivalent of “dropping the ball before crossing into the endzone”?

maybe if somebody started celebrating too early in a 3 count and got up before the ref counted three, breaking the count

Every royal rumbler who throws a guy over the rope and immediately turns around to wipe his hands clean and make sure he doesn’t see the other guy skin-the-cat

ME: about to attend the SVN King of the Deathmatch Tournament that is here in Los Angeles tonight. I am strangely intrigued by Bestia 666, Ninja Mack and Journey Fatu being competitors in tonight's tournament along usual deathmatch suspects such as Hoodfoot, Shlak, and Orin Veidt.

So, Ninja Mack adapted to being put in a deathmatch environment by taking the opportunity to throw ninja stars at Shlak and also shoot at him with a dart gun that propelled wooden skewers at Shlak, and it was absolutely beautiful seeing a non-deathmatch wrestler adapting to deathmatches by finding someway to adapt their existing gimmick for the DM environment.

I am legit trying to wrack my brain to think of other examples where that has happened, can anyone else think of such a move off the top of their head?

And I also went to the NJPW Strong Style Evolved show the following night. Pretty fun show from start to finish, and Mercedes vs Hazuki was an incredible match to experience live, but...

This was my first time seeing Jack Perry live since Brawl Out UK went down, and in all honesty, him being booked in a match with wrestlers that I care about may stop me from buying a ticket in the future. The heat he gets is very decidedly not GOOD heat, and the sheer amount of CM Punk stans that kept chanting CM Punk's name even when Jack wasn't in the ring absolutely ruined my excitement for seeing Shingo and Takeshita battle in the ring during that match. I am a CM Punk fan but genuinely have no opinion either way on Jack Perry and it fucking sucked seeing two Japanese stars that I was looking forward to seeing interact get ignored and drowned out by folks catcalling a guy that was just standing on the apron at the moment. 

That was admittedly the only disappointing experience of the show and I screamed myself hoarse by the end of the main event cheering for Hazuki, but the CM Punk chants was SO distracting that if there is a show where the rest of the card draws me in, I'm taking a lap around the arena when Jack wrestles so I don't have to listen to that for 20 minutes.

I'd watch the "Stone Cold, RVD, and Trish celebrate their birthday together" skit on repeat.  No Cap.

An embarrassing admission: because I watched basically no WWE from just after the Network launched to Mania 39 weekend,  and because the beard was enough to scramble my visually-impaired facial recognition, I did not realize until today that Matt Cardona is the former Zack Ryder.

That's okay, but how do you feel about Cardona now, after that realization?

Bout the same; generally mildly positive but not emotionally invested.

No need to be embarrassed, mate.

Don't feel bad. I've had the audio equivalent. I didn't realize that Biggie was doing a voice the first time I heard "Gimmie The Loot" and of course my dumb teenage ass posted about it on here and got roasted by someone. Sometimes I'm glad the old board is gone.

I’m not much for radio-edit/clean versions of songs but I’ve listened to some clean versions of rap songs on Spotify and I was surprised at how clearer the annunciation is on a clean version of an Ice Cube song compared to the version I’ve always heard.

Also the other day I checked the lyrics for Natural Born Killaz and found the lyric was “never made a ho stay” instead of “never made a whole steak”

random thought occurred to me today as I stumbled into a half-casual wrestling conversation

about the prevalence of Canadian Destroyers and how they're a sign of a world gone mad

and it got me to thinking about the DDT. and how it was the prior example of a move that meant instant death when applied by its creator before turning into a transition move

i was always sympathetic to what became of the DDT due to the time I spent backyarding in high school. they're easy. they don't hurt. the person taking the move is the one in control. they look good.

i guess what i'm getting at is that the current generation of professional wrestlers have turned the Destroyer into what it is now because i have to assume Canadian Destroyers are significantly safer and less painful than taking a flat back bump. that wrestlers can't help but calculate the ratio between how much a move hurts (or can hurt) vs. how much the crowd thinks they hurt, and have decided that the Destroyer, no pun intended, offers the most bang for their buck. like i 100% have to assume wrestlers think to themselves, whether they mean to or not, "why do we do moves that actually hurt but don't look that painful instead of moves that look like death but don't hurt one bit?". and then end up devaluing the moves that don't actually hurt because they now possess the knowledge that they don't hurt. when you know for a fact that taking a reverse hurricanrana is exponentially more pleasant than taking a bodyslam, like... can we at least understand how things wound up the way they are? because i never see that point brought up in any conversation.

I think only 3 guys had legit killer DDTs. Jake is the obvious one Arn Anderson is 2nd as he phased out the Gourdbuster in favor of the DDT and of course Big Hash's heavy head drop ddt (not his vertical drop brain buster but his standing ddt where it just looked brutal because it looked like he using his weight to drop his opponent on their head).

Other guys use the DDT but it's never looked as impressive as those 3. Those 3 guys would hit the DDT and in your head you knew it was a 3 count.
