I don't think so. He was supposed to be the Mexican hero as a face, so his catchphrase becomes "made in America"? It's just a stupid move when trying to sell him as the Latino star.

Surprised how many jokes are able to be made about Sheamus as Vader.
EDIT: Ithil, this may be an international thing but in America, they were specifically focusing on their American Latino fans, not Mexico itself - it's a huge demographic here and a lot of them came here chasing the American Dream (not Dusty) and wanted the fuck out of Mexico, and they love America. My Latino friends!

Surprised no one is in there crying about spoilers.
Taker's streak's already been devauled. In the video package on Raw didn't Cena say he wanted to be the one to beat the one?
Yeah, Cena's AAing Brock so hard they retcon WM30 into Cena beating Taker.

Sheamus as Dart Vader? What the fuck

Well, he's now a fired Mexican hero so I don't think you need to worry about that anymore.
if it's true, he's probably just going to be the guy in the suit and someone else will dub over him
No, Vader is totally gonna be Irish now.

I was gonna compliment him on his technique, but then I remembered it was a jackknife.

Cena is walking out champion. Ot's a guarantee at this point. After the subs were announced, it moved to a guaran-damn-tee.

Cena isn't the answer. Even WWE has to know that. He won the title and they dropped at least 10k subs as a result. And it's probably more. But it was Whatever Amount They Gained - Who Dropped The Network = -10,000 after Cena won the title.

Watching some '99 CZW again, not really sure why. The undercard guys are all complete garbage, but at least the main event guys (while also garbage) are willing to do some stupid shit. Have some gifs;
Excellent. This reminds me, I need to catch up on BJW now the G1's over.

You are watching pure garbage, Boots. I saw that collection and considered it...
Just an outsider's perspective. Then again they're now hoping Kalisto will be their next big Latino star, yet down on NXT commentary keeps calling him and his ilk a "lucha" and not a luchador. I can't imagine getting basic terms wrong does wonders for any lucha fans watching.

What's going on with Punk's trunks/ass when he gets picked up?

I think it's a happy medium for their targets. Luchador might be too much for white kids, but lucha is simpler. I honestly think they don't have any real interest in the real fans in Mexico where that culture is much stronger - perhaps they feel they can't compete with that type of solid, diehard wrestling culture down there but would rather focus on the crossover.

I've seen worse, but only just barely...that one Australian deathmatch fed where a dude got his nutsack stapled to a chair comes to mind.

Best of G1 Climax 2014 Day 4
A great day of wrasslin even if the other matches on the card were KOTR 1995 level garbage. Best over all day. Shibata/Tanahashi was fucking dooooooooope, but I can't decide if I would put it over Okada/AJ for favorite match. Different kind of matches. That shit got heated.

Sometimes when I watch XPW and how unsafe it is, I have trouble finishing it because I can just feel the concussions all the way from here. Several years later, and it makes me uncomfortable because I'm a human who has sympy.
Bootaaay is a monster is what I'm saying.

That has to be one of the dumbest things someone has done in a wrestling match.

This was probably the most a young Dragonzord ever marked out for in New Generation
Diesel was my fav wrestler in WWF back in the mid 90s. Loved him, Razor Ramon, and Shawn Michaels.

Liked the Day 4 writeup. I guess Anderson will never work for you. Honma's Kokeshi is a crowd-pleasing move and I laugh every time he goes for it. Fuckin limp fish. He's so great in these matchups though.

Sandow's probably going to have to dress up as Buff Bagwell tonight and take a bump from one or all three of these grandpas
He does absolutely nothing for me. His spots are so convoluted and telegraphed. If something intense was going on, I'd be instantly taken out of it by how 30 reversals into a cutter where he fakes the cutter at least 4 times and all of them look like they're obviously not going to hit in the first place. I just can't figure out how he was the US indie picked for that spot besides that he's taller than most of them.

....is that the techinical term for "he's got a white guy's flat ass"?
id put money on him coming out as bischoff
Last year during his feud with HHH

A good portion of the stuff Anderson does in NJPW goes against the grain of their usual stuff, so it's refreshing to see him try to make creative things happen. While those of us who've seen a lot of wrestling everywhere like yourself are kind of used to the idea of say, Anderson storming his opponent before the bell rings it's less frequent over there and is a direct result of him trying to keep things interesting over there, and I like it. I think he's a good fit for NJPW because he brings in things they usually don't see so much of, or haven't for quite some time.
I enjoy watching the reversals to see how he makes them work in the end - I never really look at it like "Well there's no way his Gun Stun is going to hit until....." but I just kinda enjoy watching to see if it'll be him or his opponent getting the finisher.
