I hate how the WWE is treating their unestablished heels. Damien Sandow is HILARIOUS and they job him...

Why Papa Shango? Was he really that popular?
But he looked strong against Cena.

Anyone remember the Nomad? It might have been called something else outside the US. I think Sega back then just made new shit because they felt like it instead of looking ahead to see if it would even sell.

I hope you aren't getting at what I think you are getting at. He was never going to win that belt, not with the unification plans. He came out of that the best he could given the circumstance. How he was booked afterwards has nothing to do with the fact that, on that night, he looked as good as anyone.

Acclaim, LJN, and Flying Edge were the 3MB of licensed games back then, I don't know how they acquired all the popular licenses.
Not sure. The only other character I do remember being in the game was some jobber called Ric Flair.

"Were"
I imagine that's why THQ stuck with Yukes ahead of Aki. I remember both Wrestlemania 2000 and No Mercy suffering delays.

Dog, you can't go walking around the favelas with a Game Boy. Someone might capoeira kick it out of your hands and run off with it.
I just realized nobody ever capoeira kicked me. Capoeira people are so beautiful, I wouldn't even mind.

First google image search, basically everyone very good looking in this pic; except maybe the 4th person from the left. But generally speaking, excluding CG and people who I am sure were very good looking in their prime, Capoeira either attracts or make people beautiful.
There are exceptions, of course.
Like that 4th person from the left.

Nakamura wasted on Gracies :|
This is the wost "MMA dudes invade" angle ever. If Rolles spent a few months in the New Japan Dojo, he could be pretty decent. Daniel is terrible, though. I'm sure there's MMA fighters out there who could do a far better job, but they don't have the Gracie name and that's what this whole thing's based on. EH.
Incidentally, Daniel brought up the fact that he beat Nakamura in an MMA match like...a decade ago. Wouldn't be at all surprised to see if we get Nak vs Daniel and Saku vs Rolles at some point.

They're not going to stop until Sakuraba's beat one of them, as he's known as "The Gracie Killer" from MMA and that seems to be the only damn reason they're using Rolles & Daniel. Hopefully they'll be entirely done with this angle by the Yokohama Arena show at the end of May.

So I've been watching the Ultimate Warrior Collection. Just got past Wrestlemania VI.
People say Hogan put warrior over cleanly, but Hogan did cover the Warrior for like 10 seconds after the ref was knocked out by the Warrior accidentally. I'm sure in Hogan's mind that made it not a completely clean loss to Warrior.
Also, people have been saying Warrior had the shorter blonder hair during his '92 comeback (leading to people thinking the original Ultimate Warrior had died, and there was a new one), but he actually starts dying his hair blonde around the time he beat Hogan it seems. Before Wrestlemania VI he had a promo about bringing together Hulkamania and the Warriors, so maybe the whole blonde thing was his way of saying he had taken Hulk's powers from him?

I think so.
Seriously. These past couple of months these threads have been moving insanely fast.

Goddamn, wish I hadn't read all the shit Warrior wrote on his site after the WWE DVD buried him - in particular, this paragraph about Bobby Heenan;
As for you, Booby Heenan, its just too difficult to keep a straight face talking about the pure two-faced bag of shit you are (and have always been), what, with you also actually wearing one as a piece of body jewelry. You are dying, dis-eased on the inside, and no more time is left to get back any of the integrity that matters the most on deaths bed. Imagine what it will be like, lying there taking in your last breaths, knowing you whored yourself out your whole life, and had to, in your final years, be faced with emptying your own personal shit bag affirming to you the true value of what you achieved in your life. Not even Vince could come up with a better finish than this. Karma is just a beautiful thing to behold.

styles better not win. Elgin vs styles is not a once ona lifetime match
The less said about his opinions on pretty much any topic in the universe, the better. I can celebrate his career, what he meant for pro-wrestling, the character, the dedication. If we go into his beliefs and his ethics... it won't end on a good note.

I want to say that I really don't like the current interviewer on NXT. She nods the whole time even when no point is being made. It infuriates me. It's no natural interaction, she probably doesn't even listen and just waits for her next line. Also when she talks it sounds like one of those annoying girlie voices. Basically she talks like a girl from Clueless but for real.

She is definitely a step down from Renne, but I think she is doing a good job. She seems to have a personality too, which was something many WWE interviewers were lacking lately...

Watched Rush vs Shocker in a hair vs hair match, good 3rd fall to this one;
Rush vs Shocker - Cabellera vs Cabellera - (CMLL 03/21/14)
It does the lucha thing where the first two falls are largely meaningless and have no impact on the rest of the match, but is pretty great once they pick up the pace for the 3rd fall. Rush looked like a huge star and Shocker played the crafty veteran role well. Incidentally, isn't Rush a technico? Crowd were booing him pretty heavily for a lot of the match. Also, love that dropkick - someone book Shibata vs Rush;

It was really good. Too bad the majority of the show was yawn-inducing filler.
