He probably just made a pile of money while not having to do a damn thing
This reminds me of when Jay and Silent Bob went to kick the shit out of people who trashed their movie
UGUUUUUUUU
Speaking of uguuu, wtf at that Seth shirt

Thank god that shirt isn't real, from what I'm seeing. Unless it gets unveiled today or something.

That's not a WWE shirt, guys.

Randy Orton's debut just aired on the Network. Never realized how the OVW guys all basically wrestled the exact same. Randy was good though.

Jesus christ I just finished watching that PCW Bootleg thing.
I honestly have no idea why he thought that was a good idea.

Last Raw with the scratch logo tonight.
Interesting to see how Smackdown got Cena, Orton, Batista, while Raw got Brock...Renee Dupree...and Rob Conway.

It's overstayed its welcome and doesn't represent the current brand. Network logo seems perfect.

Watching some IWA Japan, featuring young Ishii (awful, very green) and Honma in his first year away from BJW as he tries to distance himself from the deathmatch scene. Fun six man tag, but after Honma dumps Tanaka on his face he spends the rest of the match just getting stretched to fuck by Tanaka. Poor Honma.
Seriously, no one comes off looking good there.

I love how hype the announcers get for the pose. RAINMAKER POOOOOOOOOOSE!!
End of an era, friends.

It -severely- pissed me off that when Okada came out for the ROH shows, they didn't do this when he did the Rainmaker pose.
Like..come on.

Piracy is a pain in the butt, but going to someone's house and threatening them is absolutely unacceptable.
I'd assume it's a work anyway, like I do all things
I thought the ROH shows damaged every NJPW roster member's reputation and made them look like indie guys instead of mega stars, honestly. ROH didn't deserve them.
Like, someone up and coming would have been ok, but seeing Okada and Nakamura in that tiny arena? Fuck that.
The rule of thumb is to never expect Corino or Kelly to do anything entertaining.

It became VERY apparent that Okada/Nak/AJ/Tana were on a whole other level from everybody else, with basically the lone exception being Steen.
Eh, that's a production/videographer thing moreso than any of them. That being said, it's such a simple thing to do on hardcam (literally just zoom out as far as you can). Really bummed me out how ROH stuck to their guns vs taking some of NJPW's awesome production cues
All that time around Ian has rotted your soul, friendo.

I guarantee you that every person in that arena came away thinking Okada & Nakamura were goddamn megastars - I've seen both Tanahashi & Nakamura in person (and will be seeing Okada in October) and even with them jet-lagged, wrestling in a far smaller ring than they were used to and not going all-out in their matches, they came across as top talents waaaaay beyond the level of anyone else on the shows.

WHAT A CHUMP
That's because ROH SUCKS and Nak/AJ/Tanahashi/Okada are four of the best dudes in the world right now. All this NJPW makes me want to get the most up to date FPR roster and go HAM. The best thing about ROH is Maria.
BronsonLee
Member
I think so too, but my reasoning has nothing to do with the sex appeal aspect. You could see in WWE she could do decent promos, but in ROH, sweet mercy me she got waaaaaay better at them.

Bennett would be so screwed without Maria. Before he was just getting heat for being super dull in the ring and people were calling for him to stop being booked in ROH, now he gets heat for being Maria's fiancée but people tolerate him for...unknown reasons.

Speaking of Aweosme ROH peeps
Fave five wrestler interviews out of character. So like guys in shoot interviews and the little 'talking head' style things that KC puts out.
5. Undertaker. Anyone who shits on Big Show being lazy is good by me. And I like watching him no selling Vader acting like a moron
4. X-Pac when he's sober. There's no other wrestler that I've heard in a shoot that comes off loving wrestling as much as X-Pac. He's a guy that, when you listen to him talk, you have a really hard time believing you ever hated him. Just seems like an awesome guy who took a bad turn somewhere.
3. Simon Dean. A recent one. I have no interest in Nova in ECW, and I never found him that compelling of a wrestler. He kind of had the Kanyon and Al Snow and all those other things for me. Like, yeah, you're competent, but you just don't do much for me. Simon Dean was a great gimmick, but it was hard to get behind for long because you knew it had a low ceiling. Still, the guy who plays Simon Dean is one interesting dude. He almost never seems bitter, he seems so happy to move on with his life, yet he can acknolwedge all the great things wrestling has done for him. He talks about a lot of wrestlers who you don't normally get to hear about, and he's able to provide information about the WWE offices as a talent, which is incredibly fascinating.
2. Bret Hart. Probably full of shit a lot of the time. Arrogant, very 'Captain Hindsight', but I dig it about Bret. He's just so honest about his opinion. I think people have issue with that because they think his opinion is fact when it's just opinion. He got WWE to do a DVD of him, and he got them to let him say whatever the hell he wanted. He also has an interesting perspective on that era of wrestling due to him kind of having a more 'old school' mentality.
1. Kevin Nash. This one's obvious. He's charming, he's funny, he's smart, my favorite incarnation of Kevin Nash has little to do with wrestling. He has a fresh view on wrestling and outside of a few interviews, he always comes off as nowhere near as bitter as most wrestlers. Even when he fucking says fucking every other fucking word even though i fucking know he can turn it off whenever he fucking wants, I get excited whenever they get him in a shoot. I also like to hear him talk because you can tell that he understands wrestling is about money, but he still loves it in some ways. He just doesn't let it rule his life.

"Arturo Rivera, AAA announcer, says Alberto Del Rio will debut with AAA this Sunday at TripleMania."
Shame it's AAA, but I guess there was little chance of him going back to CMLL.

Friends, I went to Cedar Point last Wednesday and had the time of my life. As pathetic as it may sound, going there had been a dream of mine since I first read about it in a magazine as a kid. So, in a way, I achieved a dream of mine. All I had to do was...

You've really never heard of Cedar Point? It's the most popular amusement park in the country outside of Disney/Universal stuff. It's in Sandusky, Ohio.

+venger Remember when Mark Henry pushed Batista and he flew across the ring? That was Beniot's ghost who did a German Suplex.
I'm sticking to the imaginary world of pro wrestling where it's black, and white, and the underdogs always come out on top.
