Eric Rowan would automatically be 10 times better if he kept the mask on all the time.

He should have just shot on the rock
 
I just got finished watching Shin Godzilla. Pretty enjoyable movie with some very dumb as shit subplots and characters, but one sequence is maybe the greatest thing I've ever seen. You'll know it if you see it!

I think I might prefer the 2014 american film (Oooooohhhh!!!) because I'm a total mark for Godzilla shooting on other monsters.

If you're looking for a random, pretty short, brawl-y match to watch, check out -- stick with me here -- Arn Anderson vs. Kevin Sullivan from Nitro #66 (Dec. 16, 1996).

Arn is just the absolute best. The entire match. Just fantastic. Constantly selling and entertaining and being awesome. And of course the crowd is losing it. It's just a lot of fun.

Hey this security lady that escorted Samson out of the arena is the same one that tried to stop Gronk from coming to ring at Mania lol

NXT title scene is a bit boring if it's just going to be latest big signing vs second big latest signing over and over. You either come as a title contender or you're made into a mid carder.

Man that Benoit video before that match....

Man fucking 10 seconds in on that nitro episode and the match and it shows how much it used to be better.

No playing to the camera
No dumb fucking chants
A commentary team trying toe make it seem real

Ughhh

i'm sick af so instead of going to the gym or doing things that involve movement i'm watching fake athletics. to be specific, meltzer 5 star matches

just finished tiger mask vs dynamite kid from april 1983. legit insane workrate when you consider the time frame. looked like a 2017 match at times. also, so many tombstones.


Kazuo Yamaza vs Nobuhiko Takada from March 1985 next.

Only thing I would have changed from that Arn match Zach is the bell was never rung and after the pinball it shouldn't have been.

The red being out of it after the ddt is a great touch.

Man what a fun match.

man TLC totally holds up, much more than I thought it would. The pace is absolutely ridiculous with spot after spot after spot, theres no rest stops at all. I even forgive Bubba for looking outside a couple of times to see if the ladder was in place because that spot was fucking dangerous tbh. And so was Matt going backwards through the tables to the outside, crazy shit.

Also lol, WWE loves to make hometowners lose in their hometown :3
 
Not gonna link the OP's tweet for numerous reasons but basically Zayn posted something sympathetic about the Syria crisis and someone (obviously a Trump supporter) was awful in response

Owens responded with "You're gross" and this

I try not to touch on politics but let's be clear: Regardless of your views, if you feel nothing for innocent kids suffering, you're evil.

I like Kevin Owens

That poster he responded to almost made me go blank with anger. A look at her page shows how much of a nut she is.

It is fucking surreal how evil people are and how proud they are for it.
 
Current nXt feels like the Evolve of 1-2 years ago: Hero, Tommy End, Biff (if he is staying in nXt), Gargano, Drew, Strong. They are just missing Sabre Jr. and Thatcher.

UWF 1984 | Kazuo Yamazaki vs. Nobuhiko Takada

WORK. RATE.

in true Japanese catch as catch can style, they feel eachother out for 20 minutes then go fucking insane for the last 5 minutes of the match. good stuff.



next on the list: Tiger Mask II vs. Kuniaki Kobayashi from March 1985

So I'm watching the episode where The Drifter gets fired from NXT and just noticed they're using the chinese talent from the PC as security lol

Also, not sure if someone here remembers him but my boy from CWC Kenneth Johnson shows up too!

Glad to see he's still around

Rollins/HHH was a little bit of a let down. Idk, this feud should have catapulted Rollins higher but it did nothing.
 
Morning friends! Bit of advice, don't get an impacted wisdom tooth, it fucking sucks.

That does sound like it would suck.

I drink so much water, when my wisdom teeth came through the flouride damaged how they formed. Basically ended up like egg shells and shattered apart one day. Had to get put under to have them cut out of my jaw. Wasn't fun!

Hopefully it all works out for you.

Oh god that sounds awful! Hope you're all good now.

Gonna ring my dentist as soon as they open, hopefully get an appointment this morning.
 
I really hope they have plans for Bray beyond what he's doing now. He's had this gimmick for years and it hasn't resulted in anything.

I'm pretty sure they just see Wyatt as a strong monster heel who is there to put over babyfaces and nothing more.

he's over because he has a cool entrance and creepy promos. he doesn't need to win matches/feuds. that is not his role.
