He's technically not incorrect

Why are you clarifying how unimpressive it is

If he can't do those what's the point

OMG OMG My daughter went to be an hour and a half early and my wife is out doing her choir practice thing. I have 3 hours to do whatever! Wooo!

Gonna read two Daredevil issues, do some DDP Yoga, and catch up on wrestling on my DVR.

Or maybe watch some NJPW or ROH. Woo!

And that's another thing, since we're on my weekly indie rant. Chain wrestling! SO FUCKING STUPID! Fucking destroys your suspension of disbelief. And the fact that people like Alex Shelley and Quackenbush think it's a fucking skill.

Congratulations, you can hold a guys arm while you go from one move with no impact to another move with no impact to a weak looking submission hold. And for some reason, the entire time you're doing this, the other guy isn't kicking the shit out of you or punching you with his free hand. I blame Euros like Bootaaay and Bean Breath for this blight on wrestling.

William Regal has criticized this for the reason that guys like Quackenbush are just doing imitations of chain wrestling, which is the British style, like Johnny Saint or whoever. The only way to know how to chain wrestle like that is to go to the UK and learn from those guys. That's what Daniel Bryan did in his early career and that's why he knows how to do it and make it part of the match.

All those indie guys are just throwing a bunch of random chain wrestling moves together with no rhyme or reason.

Most people don't know what good chain wrestling is supposed to look like, myself included. I do know when I enjoy it, though. A lot of ROH matches start off with it. Ciampa and Lethal did it at Supercard of Honor, and Lethal and Styles did it in their match too. I love how effortless they make it look. Oh, and I loved the chain wrestling to start off Manik vs. Sabin back in the summer in TNA.

I just watch 80s World of Sport matches if I want chain wrestling. They're impressively fluid.

Tower of doom spots have to go. The guys on the top always stand there waiting around for no reason, then the bottom guy somehow easily throws 2 or more guys, usually with one arm and no leverage and he lays around like he's the one that just took a huge bump.

There's a real double standard here. MangaGaf (I don't think I'm saying anything everyone on this forum doesn't already know) doesn't pay for manga. I mean, they're probably not so out in the open about it, I don't know I don't hang out there, but they don't spend a dime on manga. They'll rationalize that it's not available in their country so they're not hurting anyone yada, yada.

White ComicsGAF are super militant about not pirating, at least on the surface. I was just wondering if it was B.S.

You mean the same White ComicsGAF that somehow has a screenshot of every comic book moment that they're talking about? Of course they don't pirate anything.

Now that I think about it, why the hell are the mods so butthurt about game magazine scans, but comic scans (single pages admittedly, not a full issue) are allowed here? So weird.

Funny how that shit works out, isn't it?

Just like Toku-gaf. Curious that everyone can watch stuff that only airs in Japan without any sort of streaming solution like NJPW has. AND WITH SUBTITLES, NO LESS!

I still don't understand how pictures from a magazine are an issue of any kind. Especially since most if not all magazines have an online equivalent that has the same pictures available.

You know that you can buy comics off comixology and then take a screen shot right? Or got to any comic book news site a pull all the previews they have.

Supposedly, the script from the last RAW has been leaked. Take it all with a grain of salt. It's laid out like WWE scripts are, but they've been leaked before so anyone could copy it.

The roster list at the end has tidbits, such as Cesaro being listed as a heel (clearing up that confusion) and AJ as injured. Also lists Miz and Summer Rae are listed as off til May, so they are filming that Marine movie now (explains the sudden breakup from Fandango).

CM Punk is in "miscellaneous", not on the roster.

I never said "Naito is more flippy and convoluted than AR Fox, the most flippy and convoluted guy on the indies", I just think it's funny that you can advocate simplicity in indie wrestling yet not ask for the same in a wrestler like Naito.

What do you think AIW, PWG, CZW fans, etc, are paying to see? You might not like that style, might find it impossible to suspend your disbelief and just enjoy a crazy indie spotfest for what it is, but it's what draws for them, so fuck it.

Incidentally, I wasn't so much thinking of Naito's sweet flipping senton and more that whip reversal, dropkick in the corner, floats over to the apron, kicks out the leg, spring boards back in and hits a basement dropkick to the face spot that he thinks is so fucking cute.

I got a big beef with Mangagaf. They dont support the mangaka. Complain about everything. Read the same shit every week for free and be like why i still read this shit brah. They are so untitled. They will come up with every excuse not to pay for licensed manga. I want to break their backs make them humble. Take their virginity.

Who's dissing the feud? I'm dissing that Bret can't cut a promo. He can't. Stone Cold and Bret's character(the whiny traditionalist) is what carried that feud out of the ring. Then Bret did the work in the ring. It wasn't because of Bret's promo skills.

No one remembers what Bret said in that feud. Everyone remembers 'Pink and black, what kind of crap is that?'

I remember a lot of quotes from Bret's final heel run. He was brutal with his words.
