More like eat my insufferable existence.

Speaking of which, I'm catching up on NXT right now and watching Eva Marie hit the ropes makes me physically angry. I swear you can read the "Okay one, two, three steps....TURN!" on her face as she attempts to. Fucking...goddamn it..

I started ranting so much about how much I hate the inability to sell the irish whip properly the other day until my wife was sick of it.

It's one of those things that's really obvious with bad female performers because they don't have the weight to hide that they're just stopping and turning around.

Big network update today. The pilot sd is back and they've added like 10 2000 SD's.

But what about more Nitros?!

 

[Bluekaveli]

It's almost as though I'm on your ignore list...

:-(

Spoiler

I misread this and though SD had been on for a lot longer than it has...

Only like 4 months older than it should be.

CageMatch.net ratings through 1998:

Haha... that average...

Eric Young made it to NXT TV before La Sombra.

Spoiler

They have bigger plans for La Sombra, an entire tourny to put him over and the memory of OG Sin Cara burns deep BUT STILL it's funny to think about

It looks like SD is more or less complete now through 2001.

EDIT: 2003 actually!

Watch and listen to clips of Lillian Garcia...and then don't do what she does.

I liked how Rey Mysterio did it and just bounced off the second rope. I wonder how viable that would be for the female wrestlers?

Depends on the chant. What was it?

Remember only to chant what is deemed appropriate by the minority of this thread. Otherwise you're in deep shit, my friend

Nxt! Nxt! Nxt!
No way! No way no way no way! Jo-se! Jose! (in the Ole Sami Zayn rhythm)
We want Eva! Clapclapclapclap clap
And many more.

one of these chants is a lie

Not at the moment

It looks like SD is more or less complete now through 2001.

EDIT: 2003 actually!

I am excited, once the brand split kicks off, I'm just going to watch SD exclusively. I don't have any interest in that reign of terror shit.

Call out Obama or Hillary during your ring announcing to get sure fire heat.

NOOOOO! He going to get buried there.

 

[Man God]

I've got a couple of shows left to watch on Netflix and a few other streaming services but it looks like I'm going to get back into week by week wrestling soon. It ate up a lot of free time last time I did it!

So probably in June I'll start 1998 Raw, WWE PPVs, and Nitro. Already watched all the WCW PPVs.

Everything up until 2004 is complete for WWE primetime shows. I wonder if the missing Nitros will be done by the time I get there.

 

[klonere]

No way! No way no way no way! Jo-se! Jose! (in the Ole Sami Zayn rhythm)

You can't do this. You are building up a man with no hope. NO HOPE. He's Adam Rose and Zack Ryder and the Ascension AND the Vaudevillians AND Tyler Breeze wrapped up into one, ready to bury on the main roster package.

You are a monster.

Shit, you know those guys are hired to troll online forums when they're not taking WWE Network calls.

[Gurrry]

Smackdown last night was actually good.

If WWE really is going to put Roman with Karl and Luke, they are doing everything to throw us off the scent.

Booking Roman against heels, make AJ act a little more heelish, constantly tease that "Did AJ hire Gallows and Anderson for protection?" angle, Usos coming out to help Roman all the time...

If Payback comes and we really do get that giant heel turn with Roman siding with G&A, then damn, amazing booking all month long WWE.

However, I think we all know how these things go.

Theyll try and turn AJ heel to make Roman a babyface. And all of the booking wasnt a swerve, so everything at Payback can basically be predicted.

 

[Caderfix]

Shit, you know those guys are hired to troll online forums when they're not taking WWE Network calls.

I bet they say they like Roman, Kane, Batista and that everyone else is a vanilla midget.

 

[Fox318]

If Vince ever walks past the halls he must view them with such contempt.

"You actually like this carny shit? You know its fake right?"

 

[Tom Nook]

She reminds me of Olivia Munn

 

[Kaladin]

Does she call that their internet HQ in those videos? I'm going off memory and can't get sound on it at work.

Also, she looks like the same random hot chick places like IGN hires to do these kind of videos.

 

[Penguin]

Was looking at Howard Finkel clips on Youtube for our announcer friend

and found this painful segment of Out Think the Fink

Fink would have gotten more if Stryker could read faster, but jeebsus at the rest of em

And funny that only one still wrestles and only two are still with the company

Have your voice crack Chimel style if you have to use the term superstar.

Or for actual more obvious advice, clear voice, ensure you've got any odd pronunciations down.

We'll feel his wrath when Uncharted 4 drops soon.

I'd rather they get SNH on there before putting the missing Nitros lol.

The thing is, I really don't think a swerve with Reigns siding with Gallows/Anderson is good booking at this point. It'd be something people aren't expecting but that's about it

If they never had any physical contact and it was just Usos getting killed every week with Reigns staredowns then you have the seeds planted, otherwise it's just a lazy swerve. GOTCHA!

Something I am disappointed by is that there hasn't been any backstage stuff with Gallows/Anderson where they're saying like "yo man did you talk to him? Yeah we told him the plan" where you're like "who are they talking about? AJ?" and it ends up being Finn/Reigns/whoever

20 years ago, on this day:

Hashimoto challenges Takada for the IWGP Heavyweight Championship. NJPW vs UWFi. Big fight feel in the Tokyo Dome!

Hashimoto looks a little shook, maybe cause he wasn't expecting the massive pop he gets when he walks out. Meanwhile Takada is cool as a cucumber.

Takada's plan was simple. Kick the shit out of Hash then make him submit with a hold.Too bad for him Hashimoto was having none of that.

The stiffness of the kicks are over 9000. I love it maggle!
Every time Hashimoto gets some offence in, the Tokyo Dome explodes. I mean some INSANE pops! He knows it's his night, so he tries to hit his vertical brainbuster on Takada a couple of times. When he finally does, the Dome erupts.

After the battle, the two shook hands and bow in a sign of respect.

I love this match. Not too long, not too short, with just the right amount of action.And the Dome atmosphere is off the charts, which adds a lot to the quality.
You can watch it here, sorry for the potato quality but it's all i got:
