Ah, memories. My favourite was posting playlists and cards of indie puro shows that no one except me wanted to watch. And arguing about whether Naito was a wrestling genius or destined to be a flop...gotta admit that Data was probably right on that one, in the end

Japanese Pro Wrestling has made major strides, no question, but they're still a long way away from having Pitbull and Flo Rida perform at their shows.

You have to keep it all in perspective.

Thank you, ConfusingJazz.

[thequestion]

If the global force wrestling impact aquired Brian Danielson, CM Punk, Kenny Omega, and the Hardy bros, plus some legit commentators, and maybe a Netflix deal, would they actually become a legit contender? Is it even a possibility for this to happen?

Punk, Bryan, & the Hardys would never do that. Kenny maaaaaaaaaaybe.

 

[Egg0]

At least there were no Minions involved..... this time.

Add in some new management and there might be a chance.

Edit: Oh wait, not a legit contender to WWE. That ship has sailed.

No, in the age of the internet wrestling will never be as big as it once was no matter what the quality is. WWE is only as popular as it is because of its name value since its been around for a long time and people have nostalgia for it. It's just like the circus.

Man if August gets locked for the month I'll be sad, lots of wrasling to discuss. Everyone be cool, we're all friends here.

[Draxal]

TBH, three bans have happened.

Keep it civil you guys, when somebody tries to have a legit conversation and it goes to memery like in the first page, its really not a good look.

This is what happens when there's an August thread before it's even August.

 

[British Monsoon]

Wrestling will never be as big as it was in the late 90's for the same reason that metal won't be - the internet boom has allowed mediums to diversify. There's more options available, everything's much more accessible, but it's all geared to drawing a niche audience because there's room for it now. The trade off is that it's much harder to reach the mainstream.

Ironically, wrestling's kinda starting to head back to the situation it was in before Vince Jr. - lots of people making comparatively good money, but no one person making GREAT money.

Japanese Pro Wrestling has made major strides, no question, but they're still a long way away from having Pitbull and Flo Rida perform at their shows.

Is Marty Friedman analogous to Flo Rida?

yeah stop being a jerk to me bootaay

Hey now, I just said you were right about Naito all along, dammit!

Oh god I just remembered it's not even August yet.

Ohhhhh, I might swing that

 

[Brian_FETO]

Ohhhhh, I might swing that

And its Global Wars so Takahashi will at least be there

2017 we did it

I booked a flight to New York for Progress to rebound from PWG failure and then they hit me with this. Truly we are blessed on this day

 

[giancarlo123x]

Has Tanahashi ever played a note on the real guitar ever in his life?

I would say he's closer to the frontman of Fozzy, at best.

Honestly, this thread self-regulates pretty well. The regulars are all chill people.

Unfortunately, sometimes people don't know when not to rise to the bait of a couple of trolls. It's like clockwork with these guys, they occasionally jump in here to stir shit up and then peace out.

 

[Zach]

rodeo

Well it's blades and blood
It's Dust and son
It's the roar of a Sunday crowd
It's the white in his knuckles
The gold in his buckle
He'll win the next go 'round
It's wrasslin' boots and chaps
It's John Cena hats
It's straps of latigo
It's the ropes and the Reigns
And the joy and the pain
And they call the thing rodeo

Not until they burn all of their six sided rings to the ground.

I thought Sweeney implied he was going to ask for a temp ban.

Yep. Every time.

A bunch of the UK wrestlers did, then one of the guys who tried to organise it all signed with WWE lol.

I would say he's closer to the frontman of Fozzy, at best.

Fuck, that's majorly offensive. And not to Jericho!

 

[Damn Silly]

Oh god I just remembered it's not even August yet.

I'll be honest, the only reason I pay attention is because it's a family member's birthday on the 1st.

 

[XenoRaven]

What's Marty Friedman's social media presence like?

Yeah, we generally do a good job of self regulating. Honestly sometimes people just need to utilize the ignore list though.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Has Jeff Jarret?

Yeah, he loves covering smash mouth, loot at that crowd!

Also while going through gifs he has laid out more than a handful of woman, jeez

 

[Ronin Ray]

I am up to day 6 in the G1 climax which is my first ever g1. I love Japanese pro wrestling and it's ignited my passion for pro wrestling that I haven't had since 2006. Just sucks they don't have American commentators for all the days.

So I had a question for Wrasslin gaf. What if new Japan started something like new American pro wrestling? Could be an offshoot american-based promotion they could send over half there belts since they have too many anyway. I feel like they could keep the high-quality wrestling and then use a few gimmick matches that they don't seem to do in Japan. I would love to see some of those guys over there in cage matches, table matches, last man standing and things of that nature.
