They seem to be good candidates to miss TWGP in favour of Chikara's favourite team... Teams From A Hat.

One day, they're going to pull Dave Batista's name out of the hat and he's actually going to be there. And it will be awesome.

Someone needs to convince Big Dave that indy wrestling's worth a damn. The idea of him throwing dudes about in CHIKARA is too awesome to ignore.

 

[Phoenixazure]

saw the rest of smackdown. Looks like they cut out Dean Ambrose's mental breakdown before the hells gate, but the match overall looked good. Those closeup shots of everyone's faces was very appreciated for sure.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

I wonder if CHIKARA have finally reached their peak in terms of size and recognition. I get the impression they're at the point where other promotions consider them 'regional rivals' in regards to their size and popularity now.

In the past you'd get CZW/ROH people helping out and appearing, but that doesn't seem to be happening much anymore.

 

[Jamie OD]

Seems that way. They're kind of doing an NWA territory thing with all of the Wrestling Is spin-off promotions.

 

[Arrowgigantic]

The bears on the knees was a nice touch.

 

[strobogo]

Too bad nothing else about it is a good touch.

Couldn't watch smackdown yesterday (Went to the movies and saw Iron Man 3 instead), so thank you very much for posting the match. It was very good

How does the tag grand prix work? Is it just a tournament bracket or is there more to it?

Just a standard tournament bracket; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_World_Grand_Prix

But for the year's where they had 12 teams, they did a 3-way in the final.

He pretty much only wrestles in Michinoku Pro and RJPW/Legend Pro-Wrestling nowadays, which is a shame. He's still training students, though.

Fake Razor Ramon on how he got releases by WWE:

I didn’t find out. They just kind of sent us home after a tour in Memphis and I sorta saw the writing on the wall. I actually phoned Vince. I’d saved his home number. So I called him and I said “Hey it’s Rick Titan here from Calgary, Alberta, Canada and it looks like my contract's up and I just wanted to see if you wanted to do anything else with the character?" All he said to me was, "Rick, please don’t call me at this number again." That was it. I saw my dream was destroyed and he didn’t give a damn.

LOL. What a dick.

So who is the best of the black suited bad guys? Scumm, Aces or Shield?

Is this rhetorical?

If you're not on The Shield bandwagon after Raw and Smackdown this week you're just batshit insane.

 

[Alucard]

So who is the best of the black suited bad guys? Scumm, Aces or Shield?

Definitely The Shield. I actually like SCUM more than Aces and Eights just because Corino is doing such incredible promo work. Heyman-esque, but with a different flavour. LOVE the way he introduces Matt Hardy before his matches.

"A wrestling ICON! A HERO! A man who deserves your respect!...MAAATT HARDYYY!"

 

[Novid]

Ill give the edge to the Shield. The question was a bit rhetorical though.

 

[Sokantish]

I've only seen a couple episodes of Impact with Aces and I have no idea who Scumm are so I'm not allowed to vote!

Don't worry man, the Wii U will take off in typical Nintendo fashion once we hit the end of the year. Nintendo Exclusives still rule all.

That said, I got like three 3DS games today (so I can get DKC as a free game from Nintendo), Luigi's Mansion 2, Fire Emblem and Castlevania. Can't beat that.

 

[KissVibes]

Where do I sign up for this? It's a unique mind synergy link like this that makes us the GWF Heritage Tag Champions!

We're going to be the worlds greatest tag team. Fuck a Benjamin & Haas.

Perfect response. lol

I still want Sting vs Taker

Do you still have the titles? No.

BACK OF THE LINE, JUNIOR.

Mecha and I could easily whip your asses raw. Either virtually AND in a real ring!

Heh, same here, but I got Luigi's, Fire Emblem & Monster Hunter. Can't wait to play DKC and these three should tide me over until it releases.

 

[tm24]

I'm jealous of you Europeans getting rewarded with an extra game

Dark Moon is so good, I got it Wednesday and haven't been able to put it down. After that I'm gonna move on to Sticker Star so hopefully it isn't as disappointing as people were saying around launch.

DKC almost got me to buy a Wii so I'm glad to see it coming to 3DS.

 

[Aiii]

Dude, this is like the fourth time I got free shit on the 3DS. It's insane.

90% of that is free stuff from Nintendo.

guys a damn star

 

[Nocturnowl]

My 3DS menu is nowhere near as organized...
Been getting tons of playtime out of it though, MH3U, LM2 and FE:A are all damn good stuff.
Castlevania was decent, not a patch on the likes of Order of Ecclesia but I thought it was acceptable considering its Lords of Shadow lineage.
I have no shame in double dipping for DKCR when the time comes, I'll use the free game deal on Animal Crossing as it benefits more from being on the console itself.

Oh yeah, so about wrestling, Taker's face was pretty amusing when he got lobbed through the table on Smackdown, he looked drunk, not quite on Entropia's level though.

 

[Aiii]

Got MH3:U on my Wii U. Cba to get on the 3DS as well, I almost exclusively play at home, so playing that game on the gamepad instead of the 3DSXL is much more enjoyable imo.

 

[mechashiva]

Anyone familiar with Maxwell Chicago? He's my favorite comedy wrestler behind Colt.

Lat night on the FIP show he was interviewed about being 3-0 in FIP and his response was to sing the theme to Saved By the Bell the College Years.

how is the music in theLords of Shadow 3ds game? i really liked the 360 lords of shadow music and the dialogue. curious if the same is true for 3ds game. is it good in short bursts like between work and classes?

 

[KissVibes]

Look at Ryder's heelish demeanor.

I've never not lived in a world where Starter wasn't a brand you'd buy at a Kmart of Walmart. People still rock it, though.

The music continues the LoS trend of being more movie like in the grand scheme of things as opposed to the rest of the CV series, it works and fits the atmosphere the game is going for, that said there's little I remember off the top of my head musically speaking but it's good enough though it's not as strong as the LoS soundtrack.
The dialogue and plot is a bit bare bones though, it's kind of funny how both LoS games have gone out of their way to get recognisable voice talent only for them to have little to say.

The game uses an autosave feature, it saves pretty frequently so it should work well for short bursts of play.

Mirror of Fate is basically like the mashing up of LoS style with slight elements of the other handheld Metroidvania games, it doesn't have the full strengths of either but aside from a slowish start I did enjoy the game all the way through even if it's nothing too special.

No way man, Starter parka sports team jackets were the shit in the mid 90's. I was poor so imagine my luck when I found one at Ross. Sure, the team was the new for the time NBA expansion Toronto Rapters, with their liberal use of purple, normally I'd steer clear but I didn't give a fuck.

Can't find a pic of the one I had :/

Edit: Oh shit! Nostalgia!

 

[Aiii]

Had a Bulls wintercoat when I was younger. And a LA Raiderrs cap, but that's pretty much all the Starter clothes I've ever owned.
