Used to get lucha footage from him, but Google didn't turn up anything helpful and I only remember a first name. I don't think so. His site isn't around anymore, and I haven't heard anything about him starting a new one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missing: Bryan tries to end the show...Dave starts a new subject and goes on for 5-15 more minutes. "These guys could have a better match outside WWE" Dave mentions PWG Bryan starts yelling for no good reason. Bryan mentions his kids and/or cats Dave mentions that nobody at Cody Meltzer's school dresses as WWE superstars on Halloween. Dave saying "You know" really should've been the free space. He's been known to use it 3 times in a sentence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RazorbladeKiss87 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I'm sad the video cuts out just before what appears to be that girl busting out the robot. Her Cena-esque "Can't See Me" into a making it rain was a good transition spot. The robot as the finish would have pushed it to 5*.

Casey Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 (edited) Since we were talking about tape traders earlier - if anyone ever comes across a Bull Nakano comp, I’m definitely in the market for it. I don’t have a DVD burner, or the time really, so… yeah. All I’ve ever come across are those “Best of Joshi” sets on like Highspots and stuff.

zendragon Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 On 5/21/2021 at 10:05 AM, Technico Support said: For WWE, what is the purpose of non-relevised house shows, anyway? TV deals are netting them more money than they'll ever need. WWE merch can be had in ways other than at the concession stand. They could cancel non-televised house shows altogether and be fine, and their workers would be much healthier. So what's the deal? Just Vince being stuck in that old school mentality? to add to what other people have said. road testing matches and gimmicks. getting stuff ready for TV, gauging audience reaction to thing and adjusting (this is supposedly why Bret and not Luger won the belt at WMX). Used to be before you saw a match on tv it had been on the road for a couple of months 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Ospreay vacated the IWGP World title and left Japan to return to the UK. Because he has a neck injury. But newz reports say he's considering going to NXT-UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming that was the OP adding something by accident. I know Alvarez just said on one of his shows that "they got a million" and nothing else. All I know is that, in the next round of "let's murder suspension of disbelief for money corporate synergy," WWE is sponsored by John Wick 4 or Requiem for a Dream 2 so we can see wrestlers assassinated or OD in kayfabe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagan Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Will posted a photo today of what looks like a pretty fucked up x-ray. Also, regarding the NXT-UK stuff, VOW reported that that may be some confusion of Japanese sources not differentiating between NXT and NXT-UK.

For me, I'm shocked he made it this long. I remember 3 or more years ago where he was talking about his body just falling apart and Meltzer talking about how Ospreay's shoulder and neck are super fucked. I don't think there's any way he's doing any wrestling, much less for NXT. Edited May 25, 2021 by Craig H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagan Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Buff Bagwell got arrested for a DUI in Cobb County, Georgia.

Goodear Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 It's funny but where people are from has no resonance to me anymore but hailing from a place used to tell you a lot about someone just from how it sounded. Cobb County sounds like a place with fat cops running speed traps so it fit so well. Now, I couldn't tell you where anyone is from because its all so generic. This kind of ties to the Hulk Hogan weight discussion from a few weeks ago, but no one seems to come from anywhere as interesting as Stone Mountain, Bucksnort or Seasonal Residences. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Punk being from Chicago is maybe one of the last wrestlers where the place you hailed from actually mattered. Maybe Daniel Bryan being from Aberdeen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eoae Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 (edited) I had no idea until just now that Isaac Yankem was billed from Decatur, Ill. Holy shit, that's hilarious. WWE would be in better shape if there attempts at comedy today were half as clever as that. Edited May 25, 2021 by Eoae 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
