New York is getting the better ROH/NJPW card, but I'm still excited at the prospect of Tanahashi and Liger teaming up.

 

[jred2k]

It's pretty crazy how polar opposite their careers have been since around that time. Tyson would probably beg to be on Superstars now and Bryan is the world champion. That wasn't even that long ago either, like less than 2 years.

I saw that too. If I order one it will be the New York card. Court Bauer said how the matches were booked were due to New Japan.

You can't think like that, because that is a valid and right response for 80% of situations in wrestling and once you go down that path, it is ruined forever.

There's a line between suspended belief and goofy cartoon shit. That shit fell right out of Chikara.

Saturday Morning Slam was WWE Chikara

 

[XenoRaven]

But it was on a show bookended by cartoons.

One is also the Raw GM.

 

[Data West]

That sounds horrendous

 

[slightconfuse]

not really

That's too bad. The Global Wars show has like 1.5 interpromotional matches, and the rest are regular ROH and NJPW matches. With tons of tags. I'm hopeful we'll see the best tag matches in North American history. Heh.

 

[Data West]

That's just taunting though. Not that weird.

 

[Vylash]

Saturday Morning Slam was the shit, I miss it

 

[darkbanjo]

There are different styles of wrestling that are totally valid. You wouldn't put that spot in a super-serious match like Taker vs. Lesnar but when it's Bryan vs. Kidd on a wrestling show that's specifically intended to be light-hearted and family-friendly, what's the issue? It's a super reductive way of looking at things to suggest that something like that hasn't got any place in wrasslin'.

I will need roughly 1,000 more Saturday Morning Slam gifs before I am satisfied.

And Hawkins wonders why he got released with such shit dance moves.

 

[BHZ Mayor]

These Saturday Morning Slam gif are just amazing.

This Google Now activity monitor is pretty cool, apparently I walk for a cumulative 23 hours in April. I feel like I got the same experience as Strobogo's Italian vacation for a fraction of the cost.

 

[slightconfuse]

 

[Rapstah]

At least the guys look like they're having fun with the concept.

 

[Vylash]

He didn't get released

 

[Data West]

When you book a show like DDT, you associate those wrestlers with being in comedy spots. In their world, that is how they wrestle. I disagree with it, but it makes more sense than having a show using the same wrestlers who are saying 'I'm going to end you' on one show then coming to the ring and having a match that's nothing but comedy spots.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Saturday Morning Slam needs GORE GORE GORE.

 

[Marvel]

He didn't get released

Oh.

 

[lovely ladies]

These Saturday Morning Slam gifs are going to better than Extreme Rules.

 

[Vylash]

 

[Marvel]

Axel actually had a personality on Slam.

 

[El Pescado]

That one was 100% real.

Well then.

Pardon me for a second while I walk on back over to the April thread...

This is why it was so amazing. Saturday Morning Slam was the best. Filming new episodes for The Network would be great since they'd have to do less editing, but could have a whole show dedicated to comedy gold.

I hear what you're saying, but considering the sort of talent that were showing up on Saturday Morning Slam, I don't think it's too far out of character.

Eventually, this is where I hope WWE take the Network. Raw and Smackdown can be showcase shows on TV, then on the Network there's a few speciality 'brands' that cater to different styles with different rosters, that then can show up on Raw and Smackdown as and when necessary. Imagine Regal booking a brand that's inspired by all the old comedy he goes nuts for and British wrestling, then having Dutch book something more serious and instigating the sort of riots that Ring Ka King got going. It would be so dope.

He really did! I'm seeing these for the first time and they're really funny.

 

[Liquidsnake]

Oh shit legends is on today.

I love watching when I get home from work.

 

[slightconfuse]

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

This trip is awesome.

Hopefully you learn how to film matches in Japan.

 

[slightconfuse]
