August Wrasslin |OT| I'll tout it to the papers if I have to

No he's just standing next to normal people. He's next to 6'6, 280 guys so often you forget that next to the average guy, Bryan would seem quite ripped/bulky.
Honestly, I'm glad to see that people are finally starting to realize just how great of an asset Glen Jacobs is. No, he isn't amazing at everything, but he's arguably the most dependable worker the WWE has had in the last thirty years. He's wrestled more matches than anyone else in the past decade, he's a good worker who's compatible with everyone, he's still over, you can give him any storyline, he doesn't complain, gets along with everyone, works every show with little time off, and he can talk too.
He reminds me of an old factory or coal mine worker. He goes in everyday, does a dirty and tough job, and doesn't complain. No one notices him, his hardwork seldom gets rewarded, but everyone knows the company needs more guys like him.
those three weeks probably pay more than TNA does in 5 months

Re-posting for the new page. We've got jazz, J.R. and trippy overlays!
All valid points. Even with Kane as, well, Kane, most people who are aware of Glenn Jacobs have no qualms with the man.

What makes you think Impact offered him a contract? They seemed to only pick up a couple of guys from that tournament.

Good riddance to Triple H. I wanna play Eddie Guerrero's theme on his grave.

I need help guys. Trying to find the vid for WWE 12 Triple H/Kevin Nash promo where Trips is calling Nash on the phone and Nash is talking to him and suddenly Nash is in the same room. Nash powerbombs him, Trips no-sells it and walks out of the room pissed.

Octagon was in that amazing tag match with El Hijo del Santo against Art Barr and Eddie Guerrero. Everyone needs to check that match out. One of the greatest ever.

I found the thread where it was posted, but apparently the guy's account was terminated because of multiple copyright violations. Sorry mang.

I see what you are saying. You pretty much can't fight how people will see it - and people will straight up refuse to do it. I think we're a ways away - despite Jericho vs Chyna being as good as a match as she'll ever have, and Chris being happy to job to her. If my memory serves.
Bottom line, it's REALLY uphill if you aren't interested in looking like a barbie doll.

There were rumors from wrestling observer he signed with Impact wrestling a deal that pays him per appearance but he denied it because he was going to the Summerslam tryouts.
Then supposedly he didn't show to the tryouts but it seems instead they used him to shoot 3 weeks amounts of anger management skits.
So I guess he decided this is better opportunity then per appearance pay and he might show up on the show as Kane or Bryan's sponsor.

Which theme and why?
With the workers in that match, it's easy to be average and not make the match worse. And it will be in my lucha post
Also, Scorpio had a tryout match last week according to pwi

I'm almost crying manly tears at this post, CM Punk don't deserve no respect until he gives Kane the earned respect live on Raw.
NEVER GETS OLD!
It was like an omen of things to come, incredible and unintentionally hilarious.

But with a match of that quality one of the participants can't just be carried. Everyone involved needs to be of a great standard. Also will that match be the full version or the one with a section cut out?
On today's Wrestling Observer Radio they said he was well very received.
Octagon carried his end of of the bargain. But in a tag match, his faults are easily hidden. There's a reason that no one can think of a single great Octagon singles match. All his best matches are tags and trios. And it should be the full version. I was unaware there was a cut out section one

I'm sure you are far more knowledgeable about Lucha than me so you are probably right. I just love that match so thought I'd mention it in his defense. Yeh, the majority of the versions of that match from When Worlds Collide that I've seen online have a pretty significant section of it cut out. They are taken from Classics on Demand which has a fast forward during it.
Probably should have used this gif in my first post back.
CM Punk stuck Cena in that refrigerator and told him to stay there because the world was ending. With Cena out of the way, Punk could now headline main events and go to Casa Bonita. Cena will now venture forth into the wasteland and try to rebuild civilization.
Quite possibly over a hundred, seriously.
Is the FF version the one that cuts out
My personal favorite part of the match where Art Barr kills Octagon and hijo del Santo does that spectacular dive to the outside?

Watched some old-school IWA-Japan from 1994, namely the 'Fire on Earth' event with a crazy main event Fire Death Match with Terry Funk & Hiroshi Ono vs Shoji Nakamaki & Nobutaka Araya - as if a normal no-rope barbedwire match wasn't enough, here they've hung metal lanterns full of flaming logs from the barbedwire, not the wisest stipulation, as it turns out...
Terry Funk goes face first into a flaming lantern;
After a messed up spot where Terry badly burnt his fingers trying to pick up a flaming log, followed by him running round the ring and tripping over a fallen lantern, he's understandably in a bad mood, taking a chair to the remaining lanterns and sending sparks and flaming logs flying everywhere;
Having had entirely enough of the match at this point, Terry swiftly finishes things with a piledriver on to a flaming log;
Post-match, Terry pushes away doctors trying to tend to his cuts and burns, and continuing his animosity with Atsushi Onita, screams into the camera "I don't need fucking stitches! Not like Onita, he's chicken shit! You hear me? CHICKEN SHIT!". IWA-Japan was nuts, I love it. Guys like the Headhunters and Leatherface scaring the shit out of the crowd, and ridiculous and over the top death matches.

lol!
That is really sad, but what makes it really worse is that I don't think that the wwe doesn't have anything else for SmackDown. Also Rio and Sheamus were suppose to wrestle each other and extreme rules fyi.

Good man, Boots. Thanks for alerting us to this.
Too bad the American Joshi Queen of Queens Tournament 2012 wont be released until "early Sept."
Wish all the past QoQ tourneys were on mp4 download too...
It's great that they are rolling them out now for download, and I know that server-side storage isn't dirt cheap anymore, but Anarchy and Smartmark should work together to at least get all the yearly "major" shows from the promotions they carry (In ACW's case, The AJQoQ, Guilty by Association, and From Innocence to Insanity series of events especially) out in the downloadable formats ASAP.
I had a custom-made 3-disc "Best of Crazy Terry Funk Matches set with this match, and many others, on it. Ironically, it burned up in the fire with the rest of my collection. LOL
Those Japanese fans must think this shit is real after watching those kind of matches.
Bootaaay, have you seen wXw's 16 Carrot Gold Cup 2012? I was thinking of picking that up and the Tournament of Death 2012 since it has the CZW matches from Miami on it.

I have seen it, Sandman. Good stuff. Sami Callihan rocks. But you know that already. His matches with Finley, and the three-way he's in are ****+
EDIT: Looking back over the card to remind myself, really, the top 2 matches on the card all three nights were very good.
I love the atmosphere of wXw. I wish I could watch it more often, but as it is I only really have time for the 16 carrot gold tournament.
I'm sitting here trying to think of Owen Hart dream matches, and Owen's pretty much done all of them.
Owen Hart vs Jushin Liger(super underrated match)
Owen Hart vs Chris Benoit
Owen Hart vs Dynamite Kid
Owen Hart vs Brian Pillman (funny, but I wish it was a real match. Those two have perfect chemistry)
Owen Hart vs Shawn Michaels
Owen Hart vs Ultimo Dragon
Owen Hart vs Bret Hart(I think this is one of the best WM matches of all time. Between the feud building up and the match quality of the two, especially since they're technically mirrors of one another in some ways but complete opposites in others)
Owen Hart vs Mr. Perfect(4 minutes long ,but the fact that they were in the ring together is still amazing)
I'm struggling to think of a realistic dream match that he could have had and didn't other than like Macho Man and Steamboat

Yeah, the 16 Carat is always worth a shot, but I especially enjoyed this year's - Callihan vs Finlay and Zack Sabre Jr. vs Jon Ryan on night one were both great, plus another four tournament matches from nights 2 & 3 that made my best of the year list. Outside of the tournament, Big Van Walter has an AWESOME title match against Daisuke Sekimoto, there's an excellent tag on night 3, plus a great World of Sports rules match with Johnny Kidd. Definitely worth the asking price, imo.
