I need to watch more Japanese wrestling. I'm in the middle of Okada vs. Takahashi from Invasion Attack and this shit is incredible. Great psychology.
I see I see. Yeah that would hurt.

Oh wow...The Victory Star Drop is one I haven't heard of in a LONG while. The reasons are obvious though. Both parties could end up with broken necks.
If he plays his cards right he can use that. He should never shave his hair. Keep this dirty look.
The Tombstone version is nothing like the real Piledriver
That would actually be a great way to explain why Taker just disappears after Mania. Just have Stephanie continuously warn him before Mania that the Tombstone is banned and he is not to use it. And then the underdog can keep kicking out of his pin attempts and submissions until he has no choice and hit the tombstone. The pop would be huge and then Steph can ban him from competing for a year and he can go back to where-ever it is Mean Mark goes when he's not doing wrestling.
In Your House Canadian Stampede
Holy shit, this is surprisingly show of the year for 1997 so far.
It had all the hallmarks of a PPV that I would hate on paper. Short card, only 4 matches, the title isn't the main event feud, and the main event feud is a ten man tag. I've never been a fan of multi man tags main eventing PPVs but this show did it right. In fact, all four matches are must see. You have Mankind vs Triple H which is a white hot feud at this point, you have the debut of Taka Michinoku and The Great Sasuke in the light heavyweight division, you have the continuation of the Undertaker and Paul Bearer feud with Taker defending his belt against Vader and that ten man tag. The Hart Foundation is firing on all cylinders. While I wasn't as big of a fan the first time I saw them, this re-watch has me convinced they are up there with some of the greatest heel factions ever. And the other team is perfect, everyone has a reason for being there. It normally feels like they throw together tag team main events at the last minute, but this one has some thought to it. And that crowd....quite a different reaction from the norm. Bret Hart had turned on his fans in America,but his Canadian fans still cheered him like never before and they even boo'd Stone Cold Steve Austin which never happens elsewhere at this point. Ever since this PPV, Canada has been an odd crowd and this show explains that. Is it wrong that I'm looking forward to Summerslam 1997 more than Summerslam 2016?
A+ No curve

Top three for me so far: Hogan/Warrior (VI), Hart/Michaels (XII), and Austin/Michaels (XIV).

It's insane how he looks like he doesn't give a shit about this
I'm not blaming him tbf
So beauty pageants are sport?
Sounds like it's better than Cenas "curation", but why?
That intro also makes me think he's in the game.

Didn't Owens and Cena bust out a Canadian Destroyer during one of their matches?
Thanks REAL DAVE
I hope diddy is a playable character so i can recreate the East vs West Coast 90s rap wars in wrestling form.
Billy was full time for the company and apparently they make that distinction.
You know why.
Brock was really really sorry so they let him stay whereas Billy was merely really sorry so they fired him.

Brock is not subject to the same rules due to his contractual status.

Don't you ever get tired of being wrong?
Not quite, same setup but muscle buster you fall back while the kinniku buster is a sit down stunner type thing that basically shatters your neck.
Cena's Yoshi tonic or whatever right?
brock's contract states: "you can't punish me for being on the juice. you can't even test me."

Tonight is the night
Is tonight th-GOD DAMN IT. Mondays are no fun now.
No. Not any more. Monday night will never be the night again.

Complicated people and redemption stories are nice, but bad decision-making is not a must for me to be interested in someone. Seems kinda messed up to be rooting for that to be celebrated outside of fiction.

Can I be there when Vince fires Cena for doing a banned move?
Really fun atmosphere and main event.

So Nia Jax got a shirt.
Available for men.
Available for men.
Huge patch just hit today that made pretty drastic changes to the game. It's why there aren't reviews hitting yet despite a rushed one that was posted in the review thread.

Whoever is in charge of the merchandise should be sacked.
