Couple of great puro shows to watch while we wait for the G1 - first, a New Japan show from May that has finally surfaced, featuring the young lions of Takahashi & Watanabe taking on Taguchi & KUSHIDA in the opening match, the team of TenKoji, Liger & Tiger Mask facing Yano, Iizuka, Jado & Gedo, Tama Tonga testing himself against Shinsuke Nakamura, a big 6-man tag with Tanahashi, Naito & Captain New Japan against The Rainmaker Kazuchika Okada, ZERO1's Masato Tanaka & YOSHI-HASHI. Plus, in an excellent main event Hiroki Goto defends his IWGP Intercontinetal Title against Tomohiro Ishii in a tough-fought, hard hitting bout.

I have to admit I thought that was Beth too :lol

Eh, they look sorta similar, but you can still tell the difference easily.


Somebody's hiding:

Probably should've screened the ending too, but...


The guy posing as Sandow looks absolutely boss.
 

Aiii

So not worth it
Wow they actually put Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar from WM on there.

No way they didn't edit the crowd out of that one.

Awesome, enjoy - I really enjoyed both those main events, great stuff. 2000 era Michinoku Pro was a ton of fun.

you are out of Line Brother. G-fex watch your back because when the Dean Amboseholcs come for you

Dean Ambrose is the man of the people, the real voice of the voiceless. You should tread lightly.

guys... it's finally official.

- PWInsider confirms that there was a recent settlement between WWE and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) which allows WWE to use their old WWF logo on footage. WWE made some kind of payment to the World Wildlife Fund. WWE is allowed to use the WWF logo and say WWF over footage as long as it is old footage. For example, WWE couldn't have a Legend come out on RAW next week, cut a promo and talk about how he used to hold the WWF Title and wrestle on WWF pay-per-views.

inb4 wwe re-releases all their Wrestlemania/Summerslam/Survivor Series anthology sets with the unblurred logo.

inb4 I buy them all

In related news, WZ has been told that the addition of Kevin Rudolf's musical performance on the show will make it highly unlikely that both Damien Sandow vs Brodus Clay and Cody Rhodes vs Sin Cara will take place.

CHIKARA Grand Championship Match signed for the 2nd Night of King of Trios on Saturday, September 15th in Easton, PA;

iEI9GcQmlzQXX.jpg


Tadasuke from Osaka Pro returns to CHIKARA for the first time since he won last year's Young Lion's Cup. Should hopefully be a good, hard-hitting match.

Hot damn this will be great. I was bummed Tadasuke was injured after winning the Young Lions Cup and couldn't make any defenses state side, but this match with Kingston will more then make up for it. These two are going to kill each other.

Yeah, it should be a pretty brutal match - I haven't seen much of Tadasuke in singles, so it'll be good to see him square off against King.

Some potential spoilers about a team that likely won't make it to the third night of King of Trios;

The Extreme Trio will go out on night 1 or 2, as Jerry Lynn is booked to face RD Evans for ACW on night 3

Also, I forgot to mention that Quack hinted on twitter that SMV may pull their 24hr DVD magic for the King of Trios - if they can get each day up 24hrs after the shw, and in MP4 download or VOD, god-damn!

Not enough, they also need the original entrance music and unedited commentary.

Triple H had the greatest intro of all time at Wrestlemania 27, and I can't watch it in 1080p BluRay glory with the might Metallica blasting me away.

I sad :'( Life is sometimes, not fair.
 
OH YES

Brock Lesnar vs. Leviathan
Ohio Valley Wrestling 28th September, 2001
This reminds of the story from Batista's book where he was told to buy a suit so he splashed out most his money on his swanky new duds only to find out he needed the suit to tear the sleeves off for a Leviathan promo scene.

Remember when I said G-Fex will ban the wrestlers you all like? well look who had him pegged correctly once again!

Don't worry, Nocturnowl. We all know G-Fex doesn't have any actual power.

It is still Dean Ambrose week. You cannot stop Dean Ambrose(unless you're the WWE). He will soon realize this.

that sounds great if they get each night up so fast. Pulling for the 3 faces of pain even though its probably going to be one of the swarm teams

I don't know, I still can't see a Swarm/Colony team winning unless someone turns heel/face. I'm backing the Spectral Envoy this year.
