Holy shit Steen is going to get killed when he faces a real wrestler like Nash.

 

[Future Foundation]

A running knee to the head...

Jesus, he just completely said "fuck you" to the second rope.

 

[G-Fex]

Holy shit Steen is going to get killed when he faces a real wrestler like Nash.

I was thinking the same thing.

RIP Steen guy

 

[Perspicacity]

Austin Aries has such a shitty theme.

 

[Conrad Link]

I was thinking that the other week, needs a new one, with more pop to it.

Or just something other than TNA generic.

 

[Future Foundation]

Austin Aries has such a shitty theme.

It sounds like the instrumental version of the first version of "Off The Chain".

[Conrad Link]

Bobby Roooooo's theme is coolest, reminds me of the 4 horsemen or something.

 

[G-Fex]

That Steen guy any good Boots?

 

[FallingEdge]

I had to laugh at these:

LOL too good.

 

[slightconfuse]

Bobby Roooooo's theme is coolest, reminds me of the 4 horsemen or something.

Agreed
His theme like a final boss for a square rpg

 

[Perspicacity]

If Aries and Roo have to fight again then Bobby Roo should be forced to put his theme song on the line. It's much more suited to the Greatest Man Who Ever Lived.

What is this from and where can I get 20?

That Steen guy any good Boots?

He's the best World Champion in the world.

 

[Cagey]

It's funny that themes and Kevin Steen are on this page, because I think the instrumental from Steen's theme is the best thing going right now. The guitar riff has this oddly melodic quality, which fits the character and his usual entrance perfectly: a large fat violent psychopath (and his Mr. Slave sidekick) looking to destroy a company, walking to the ring slowly, and doing it with a big beaming unsettling grin on his face.

I just wish the vocal didn't have the distortion screaming, because keeping the singing melodic and disarming fits better.

Similar reasons as to why This Fire Burns is so good.

 

[British Monsoon]

That Steen guy any good Boots?

Yeah, in spite of his size he's one of the hardest working guys on the indies and has been putting on consistently great matches in ROH & PWG for a good 3 years now.

It was from one of the BOLAs - 2009, I think.

 

[slightconfuse]

Steen/ el generico had a great year long feud in 2010 Lots of good matches

Also Nash going to blow his quads tring to lift him

 

[Entropia]

What a loser. No wonder he's stuck in the indies.

 

[Perspicacity]

Agreed Cagey, love the Kevin Steen theme. It's so simple that it's dangerously close to being generic, but it's dark enough to add the exact right atmosphere. Have you heard the rap remix some fan made? I like it, but it's too specific to ROH/Steen.

Steen/ el generico had a great year long feud in 2010 Lots of good matches

I'm fairly certain this feud is still ongoing, because it's too awesome to ever die. Steen + Generico are probably the hardest working/most charismatic guys on the indys who will never make it big because of their looks.

It was from one of the BOLAs - 2009, I think.

I really need to go back and get some older PWG, just started to get into them last year and they are right on par with Chikara as my favourite promotions right now.

 

[slightconfuse]

El generico could make it in then X devision. Jigsaw from chikara is competing there now. Both steen Kingston matches were great. And el generico vs Sara del Rey is my top match of the year so far .

 

[Perspicacity]

Jigsaw Rubix hasn't been back since Destination X has he? But yeah, realistically there was no reason why Generico shouldn't have been in that tournament. Kind of baffling really.

 

[slightconfuse]

No I imagine we wontnp see rubix till after king of trios is over if at all.

 

[tm24]

Also, Kevin Steen is the best color man in the commentary booth. The man can do it all

 

[British Monsoon]

Notes from the August 14th ROH Newswire;

• After a gruelling world championship match against ROH Champion Kevin Steen, Eddie Kingston has been invited back for future ROH events in 2012.
• At the Death Before Dishonor X iPPV live from Chicago, IL, on September 15th, rising indy star and one of the most athletic young wrestlers today, A.C.H., will make his ROH debut.
• On the 22nd of September Baltimore will host the 2012 Survival of the Fittest tournament.

For those unfamiliar with A.C.H. check out this MV;

Also, Kevin Steen is the best color man in the commentary booth. The man can do it all

Steen calling any match is gold, but even more-so with the recent SSB matches in PWG. Steen marking out as much, if not more so than the fans was awesome to see/hear.

 

[Kaladin]

Steen/ el generico had a great year long feud in 2010 Lots of good matches

Funny you should mention that.....

ROH just released this.

At some point in their lives every man reaches a breaking point, a moment where he chooses to either persevere through his difficulties or give in and let his problems consume him. On December 19, 2009 at "Final Battle 2009" Kevin Steen faced that moment. With several choice words and the brutal crack of a steel chair, Kevin made his decision and a slow descent into madness that would grow to effect all of Ring of Honor began...

From the closing night of Steen & Generico's ROH World Tag Title reign through the war at "Final Battle 2010" that brought this madman's time in ROH to a temporary end, this 2-DVD set is a chronicle of the matches & the moments that saw Steen spiral out of control. From his tag team battles against The American Wolves & The Young Bucks with El Generico to his Steve Corino-influenced violent turn, this compilation includes Steen's bouts against his former partner, bloody battles against Colt Cabana, his ROH World Championship battle against Tyler Black, and more! From the violence of his matches to the often psychotic words spewing from his mouth, this is Kevin Steen's descent into madness...

Wait Kevin Steen is good? The last time I remember people talking about Kevin Steen he sucked and was super lame.

 

[tm24]

Oh man, A.C.H is hopefully gonna have an amazing 2012. Have heard great things about him in his matches in the YLC tourney

 

[slightconfuse]

One man band babyyyyy

 

[tm24]

Wait Kevin Steen is good? The last time I remember people talking about Kevin Steen he sucked and was super lame.

When was this? Steen has been amazing for like 5 years now. Hell, the Super Dragon/Steen feud catapulted Steen to greatness The only people who hated him were back in the ROh days when they couldn't appreciate the greatness of Generico and Steen

 

[XenoRaven]

I don't remember. Maybe I got him confused with someone else.

 

[British Monsoon]

I don't know about anyone else, but I've been singing the dude's praises since 2009, and he's remained one of my favourite indy wrestlers ever since.

Oh man, A.C.H is hopefully gonna have an amazing 2012. Have heard great things about him in his matches in the YLC tourney

Yeah, really hope it won't be too long before SmartMark releases the next couple of CHIKARA shows. I haven't seen much of A.C.H, but what I have seen has been pretty impressive. Here's a full match of his from Beyond Wrestling;

A.C.H. vs AR Fox - (Beyond 11/19/11)

 

[Kaladin]

Take this with the usual dirt sheet grain of salt.....

In what I was told was a direct response to JTG ranting on Twitter about how he and other WWE talents are disrespected, WWE had a talent meeting last night offering the chance for anyone who was unhappy and had an issue to speak up and air their grievances.
I was told that no one spoke up, although as one wrestler joked today, "They just fired Abraham Washington and then ask us to speak up in front of the locker room. We may as well ask to be released!"

During the meeting, WWE officials reminded talents that they needed to handle themselves professionally via social media and to remember that what they say will be monitored by the media as well as the public.

More than a few wrestlers privately noted that just a week after he ranted, JTG was used on Raw for the first time in quite awhile.

One of the reasons some of the mid-card wrestlers were upset were recent payouts for international tours and Wrestlemania. In the case of Wrestlemania, a number of mid-card talents were upset that the payouts were only a few thousand. However, these were talents who weren't performing on the show. One wrestler pointed out that they were still utilized over the course of Mania week, but at the same time, WWE covered all the hotel and travel costs that week. So, it has to be put in perspective.

There were also some upset about international tour pay-offs, but at least one wrestler was told a clerical error was made due to the international exchange used and that situation was going to be cleared up in the next few weeks.

Doesn't sound too good to be in the WWE mid card right now.

 

[SousedLouse]

The Ryback match was hilarious last night, because the crowd started in with that stupid Goldberg chant but then went full mark by the end of it. Really hope they're smart enough to finally legitimize Jinder using Rhyhorn's excess heat.

I just finished watching last night's RAW on DVR, and this is one of the things that stood out to me about that match. It's nuts, it really is. I think it's the new theme they game him; it has a chant, and people love to chant stuff. It numbs the mind, and makes you hyped for pretty much anything.

The other thing was that JTG took a moment to freak out about Ryback's pink eye...and then went for a bunch of punches to his face.

I thought that this week's episode was OK, but I imagine that it would have felt like one long drag if I had watched it live. I liked the Jericho/Ziggler/Miz three-way match, at least, and nothing else really bored me.

So...this is an actual thing which is happening;

November 16th in Watertown, NY - http://www.2cwwrestling.com

£10 says Nash tears a quad trying to lift Steen.

Why is this happening again?

 

[Bowser]

According to The Wrestling Observer, Vince McMahon was reportedly upset with "Rowdy" Roddy Piper's performance during the Piper's Pit segment on Raw last night.

Piper's rambling during the segment was said to be noticeable, and as a result, Vince instructed Michael Cole via his headset to bury the segment on the live broadcast.

lol

What mid-card? There is no mid-card with the WWE.

 

[Kaladin]

Maybe I should have used the phrase, upper tier jobbers.

 

[butter_stick]

Cole did the same thing last time Piper was on.

Stop putting Piper on TV.

 

[Eidan]

lol

Piper was awful.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Posted?

lol

So basically anytime I hear Cole crapping on a segment from now on i'm going to imagine Vince frothing with rage out back and this will amuse me, unless the segment is actually good.

 

[Kaladin]

Cole did the same thing last time Piper was on.

Stop putting Piper on TV.

Piper has always come off as a drunken idiot....even back in WCW when he was a regular. What was Vince expecting?

 

[Laserfrog]

Ot oh Piper has entered the building!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp_K8prLfso

 

[Aiii]

So, lets stop being negative all the time... 5 things on WWE television that are good, Go!

I'll go first, of course:
1. The new NXT
2. Damien Sandow
3. Daniel Bryan
4. Paul Heyman as Brock's spokesperson saying MY CLIENT BROCK LESNAR
5. More wrestling, no more Nickelback, the new set and the new graphics on Raw.

It's been a depressing year for some of my picks. SFxT is $12 at Gamefly right now, and I bought that for full price + limited edition for the documentary about it my buddy and I produced. Bums me out.

Half Life 3 is Gaming Side's Dean Ambrose.

It's just the same 30 Vita owners (who make up most of the contingent of all Vita owners) crowing like they deciphered that their system isn't going to suck in a few months. Which is weird to me.

Bah. I'll shut up. There's no place for that crap here.

Half Life 3 is Gaming Side's Dean Ambrose.

Nah, because someday Ambrose will be released.

 

[XenoRaven]

Half Life 3 is Gaming Side's Dean Ambrose.

The only difference is one of them will actually be successful after they debut.
