I need to catch up on the last few SHIMMER volumes. And watch some 90's AJW. That said, Fave Fives are personal likes, rather than trying to be objective, right?

Wednesdays I actually used to look forward to because I loved the TNA weekly PPVs. I was on the bandwagon of Jarrett needing to drop the title as well but looking back compared to what TNA would become, those Jarrett matches were fun.

Yeah sure it was the same "brawl in the crowd" match every month with a guitar shot and the "stroke" but they weren't bad matches. With some people they were better matches than others. You knew you were getting a good match say with Jarrett/Styles, Jarrett/Daniels, or Jarrett/Raven. There were also times when Jarrett had surprisingly good matches with Monty Brown and Kevin Nash among others.

I remember when I actually watched TNA and I miss that. There were times when it was actually passable and you could overlook all the crap they did.

Do any of you who follow the indy scene in Texas have any opinions on Steve O Reno or Ricky Starks? Thumbs up/thumbs down? Also has anyone signed up for the Progress on demand service yet? How has that experience been? Thinking about giving it a shot once I pick up a chromecast.

Haven't tried it on Chromecast yet, but I'm signed up and it works pretty well. The experience on the website you get as a subscriber is the same as if you're not subscribed, just unlocks the full videos rather than previews. It's the same as ICW On Demand, if you've tried that.

 

[XenoRaven]

Any shirt that gives props to Gary Albright is cool with me.

I would argue that the only "props" he got was "most famous wrestler from Montana".

 

[Cagey]

More "I can definitely read this in Steiner's voice" quotes.

I'm really digging this new viral means of starting a feud. The payoff at Wrestlemania 32 should be excellent.

 

[dr3upmushroom]

Kurt Angle is officially a TNA guy. His WWE run no longer counts.

whats a TNA?

 

[jmdajr]

Indeed

 

[NihonTiger90]

Smackdown is coming to my town in June. Worth going, WrassleGAF?

EDIT: Actually, MITB is in Columbus. Fuck that, I'm going there.

Monty Brown is good people. In a way that was TNA's most damning part - they had the POTENTIAL to be passable, but shit the bed every week for...a few consecutive years.

Fave Five female wrestlers!

1. Beth Phoenix
2. Bull Nakano
3. Madusa
4. Jacqueline
5. Bayley

Jackie was sooooo good. She also won that bikini contest hands down, that wasn't even a question for me. But she was legit as FUCK, loved watching her wrassle.

I know our pal Pristine_Condition keeps up down there.

Hogan is already dead.

Heidi Lovelace is awesome in my book

Mike Bailey is going to be huge on the scene, real quick.

Hey, you take what you can get.

Oh sweet, Raw is in Green Bay later this month

Milwaukee!

But WWE.com says Green Bay

I'm missing some kind of joke here, aint I

 

[XenoRaven]

Hogan is already dead.

I still don't understand how 100% of the people who have taken this move aren't dead or paralyzed.

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

real talk: far more excited for the human revolution sequel than I ever was for MGS5~

 

[Sephzilla]

If the next Deus Ex doesn't fuck up the boss fights I could get really hyped for it.

 

[Data West]

Why couldn't square give Sleeping Dogs the same treatment

Kind of bummed they're going with Jensen again.

 

[Chamber]

Is it because MGSV sounds like some sort of quasi-Splinter Cell than a real MGS sequel?

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Honestly shocked they're going with Jensen again, since his story seemed done by the end of HR.

 

[Fox318]

amen brother.

Sleeping dogs was fantastic

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

past timeline MGS just doesn't really interest me. who cares about big boss? No matter what wrinkles and twists you throw into his plot at the end of the day his big dream was to make some sort of nation of only soldiers or some shit? that sounds stupid. And dumb. And stupid! prequels are dumb. At least we got the sublime ending sequence in MGS3 out of em.

Deus Ex, despite its age feels like a more fresh idea, something that explores the crazy ass future that something like MGS2/4 and rising showed while still having some fuckin' weight and depth to it instead of being some inane bullshit like Rising was (fun as that game was to play).

 

[Data West]

I'm going to have to replay Human Revolution again after I'm done replaying Max Payne 1 for the 10th time.

 

[Sephzilla]

the only metal gear sequel i care about anymore is a revengeance sequel

 

[Showaddy]

All Red Suplex City:

Is there some story behind her having to try to learn to wrestle in a tiny gym somewhere, like why wouldn't she just go down to the performance centre?

It's dead, Jim.

Loved his boss. "AAAAAAAHHHHDAAAAAMMM"

 

[Sephzilla]

nah, silent hills is the one that's dead at this point. Revengeance was mostly sans-Kojima already, so it can still happen

R-Truth made this mistake and mixed the two up on the mic in the ring. Shows up a lot on blunder top tens because of cole's "you idiot!" Which is pretty mean spirited

oh shit i completely forgot about that lol

 

[Chamber]

I feel like that was a Kojima endorsed deal though. I think the only way Revengeance 2 happens is if it's so far along that it's pointless to cancel it.

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

Konami may see value in the rising series still.

It'll be a swipe motion controller iOS game~

Big Boss's story takes place mostly during the Cold War, where his country had betrayed him and the Soviet Union would likely not accept him. He had no skills outside of fighting. He had no unit or country to belong to. When he started meeting other soldiers in a similar situation he had the idea that an army without a nation was the only place for him and people like him to belong and have a purpose. Maybe it doesn't particularly interest you, but I don't think it's a dumb idea.

 

[sf2fanatic]

No love for Sherri Martel? She was a great heel as a wrestler too

 

[Zach]

I finished One Night Stand. JBL is the biggest douche ever for beating up the Blue F'ing Meanie. I mean, why ruin that guy's night? Pathetic and disgusting.

I'm glad WWE is so anti-bullying now. Yet that guy is on their main commentary team.

But really my list is Bull Nakano 5 times.

And then they tried to work it into a storyline because a Blue Meanie vs. JBL feud will definitely draw ratings.

I have to assume it got turned into a storyline and Blue Meanie got rehired so there wouldn't be a lawsuit.

 

[Roland_Gunner]

I still don't understand how 100% of the people who have taken this move aren't dead or paralyzed.

I remember the one time Ishii hit the Screwdriver on Tana. Looked completely brutal. At least Scott controls the guy reasonably well.

 

[Jamie OD]

Mike Bailey is going to be huge on the scene, real quick.

I hope he doesn't end up getting the same border problems the Super Smash Brothers currently have. I miss them in the American indies.

Wasn't Meanie gonna sue, but took the match w/ the bWo (& TV time instead)?

Is that why Uno and Stupefied seemed to have disappeared from the US indy scene? That's a shame.

On the other hand, Max Boyer has not been missed. Canadian Dynamite indeed.

 

[Sephzilla]

Its a Kojima endorsed deal in the sense that Kojima gave the thumbs up to Platinum to make the game after Kojima's own team dropped the brass ring

 

[RP912]

I been on a huge Cities Skylines kick lately. Last night I had to re arranged my city because of the education milestone putting all of the warehouse workers out of business.

Hard times man :/
