:(
 
Found the perfect opening for a full on wrestling post outside of wrestling context: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=213095586&postcount=66

Feeling pretty good about myself right now. Pretty sure I'm in the top 10 of Zach's next power rankings.

the rock vs vin diesel thread is full of these too bro.

anyways i caught up to this week's Raw. shit was abysmal but i really enjoyed that Rusev/Lana and Reigns segment. Reigns seems a lot more comfortable on the mic here. I'm surprised.

And rusev is hilarious. that finn balor shit tho...lmao. fuck all that.
 
Smackdown was alright and all but where was Kane?

Guys, I've just remembered something that used to annoy me so much.

Back in 2003-2004 or so, before a match, WWE would have the vs. screen with the wrestlers doing live poses, rather than just a static image of them. I've just recalled, for no reason whatsoever, how INFURIATINGLY ANNOYING Shawn Michaels' one was. He sort of pretended to punch himself in the chin, and then put on the smuggest face he possibly could.

I can't find a gif or video of it, but count yourselves lucky for that.

But that was the best one!
 
Kind of funny botch in the G1 just now. (Spoilers)

After beating Honma in the main event, Elgin said he would be the G1 Climax 26 champion. The problem is Naito won earlier in the night to move to 12 points, and he holds the tiebreaker over Elgin, so it is impossible for Elgin to win.

Elgin is gonna run in on Naito's last match and break his leg, thus forcing him out. THE MASTER PLAN

Did Daniel Bryan take up drinking when he was made to retire? On Talking Smack, he seems a little tipsy. I like it.

Gotta replace your life long passion being ripped out of your hands with something.

If those fabled animated avatars I always hear about were still a thing, that would be a good avatar for blackaroni.

Act Yasukawa has Graves' Disease and had just had surgery on the eye that Yoshiko deliberately targeted.

Act retired late last year due to doctors' advice. Yoshiko was suspended then supposedly retired, but walked out of her retirement ceremony. She now wrestles for Seadlinnng. How anyone can employ her amazes me.

And also she took medicine to fix her eye that would most likely make her infertile, because she wanted to wrestle that much. Now she's left with nothing.

Maybe he's hoping for a triple threat match. Naito beat Elgin, Elgin beat Shibata and Shibata beat Naito, so if
Shibata and Elgin both win their last match and Naito loses it would be a 3 way tie and you couldn't do a tie-breaker.

I know, I'm sure Elgin didn't actually think of this.

it wasn/t a botch. Elgin still has a chance, if Omega beats Naito and Elgin wins his last match, the 3 of them will all have 12 points and each of them would hold a victory over one of the 3. thus leaving it up to New Japan officials to do some kind of tiebreaker. the point is he's still in it

Didn't take too long, but I'm done with No Mans Sky. Weh. Too repetitive and samey.

Can this thread stop speaking ill of CM Punk, a man who has amassed a 600+ day unbeaten streak in the UFC who would beat up all you marks.

Yeah, I just expected more than I got. I didn't have high expectations, though, unlike most. It just failed to deliver on a level far lower. Sucks, because it has some neat ideas, but it's clearly unfinished.
