he doesn't come off like ryder at all, not sure where those comparisons came from. he always fucks around like this on twitter, and also ryder sucks anyway so that guy can stay on twitter doing his thing forever.
next you're gonna say that tag team wrestling sucks or something

I don't understand this carny-speak. I don't get his humor. Now Santino, there's a comedian...
Remember that time when Santino smelled Natalya's fart and was trying to fight himself from passing out?
lol oh man.

How about that time where he was Lady Gaga for Halloween at the Hell in the Cell PPV last year and Ryder was a witch because of Eve? I just don't know how they come up with this stuff.

WCW Monday Nitro 5/25/98
Nitro is back to its regular time slot and length. Sadly. Sting/Giant vs Lex Luger/Sting is the main event tonight. Oh my. But how can that be?
Raven and the riot squad come to the ring. He also brings the Flock in the ring for more protection. He says a bunch of vaguely emo stuff about nightmares and paths that get darker as they get brighter. Next on the topic list is Saturn. He's talking about their time together as children and that dumb cunt who broke Saturn's heart in 11th grade. He'll fire the whole Flock if it makes Saturn happy. He then proceeds to fire them. Lodi doesn't really like this, so he gets an Evenflow. Raven begs for Saturn to come out, but he never does.
TO THE GLACIER. He says he got the best intro and exit because he's so awesome. He also claims that he created the super kick. And his kick is better than Saturn's.
Mike Enos vs Fit Finlay WCW TV Championship
Still can't get over the Beverly Brothers getting used regularly in 1998. Finlay dominates for a while. Enos comes back, but I was busy watching the security guard take a giant beach ball out of the crowd. What a dick. Enos hits a fall away slam. Better than Hall's. Enos tries a powerslam and his knee explodes or something. I can't even tell if it was real or not or just a weird botch. Finlay wins with a tombstone.
Saturn vs Glacier
Battle of the superkicks. Fuck yo' icebergs. They trade a bunch of kicks back and forth to prove a point or something. All of Glacier's kicks look like the Cryonic Kick. They're all front leg back kicks. Raven comes to ringside. Explodaaaah. Glacier gets his knees up on a Superfly Splash. Double cross body. Hammer attacks Raven. Glacier kicks Hammer off the apron while Raven was holding him, and he tumbled awkwardly to the floor. Saturn hits the DVD for the win. Raven then Evenflows Hammer on the floor and Saturn walks away from Raven.
Giant, Crush, and Virgil walk into the bar. That's the joke. I hope they let Virgil talk. Giant calls Nash a coward and wants him to come out to the ring by himself and they'll fight. The camera cut just as Giant did some hip gyrating, which is sad, because I would have gif'd it. Nash slowly comes out. I believe he called these three Hogan's fluffers. Were they off camera for Hogan's porn? Nash gets in the ring. Of course, all 3 attack him. The Wolfpac hit the ring...along side LEX LUGER. Konnan literally gives Lex the shirt off his back. Lex puts it on. Lex has joined the Wolfpac! Lol. Remember just a few months ago when Lex and Savage were straight up trying to murder each other for a solid 2 months? And how many fucking matches he's had with Nash this year?
Chris Jericho vs El Dandy
El Dandy doesn't even get music until he hits the ring. Jericho attacks right away. This is about a minute long. Jericho wins with the Liontamer. Jericho goes on another rant about conspiracies and JJ. JJ actually comes out this time. He changes his tune when JJ shows up behind him. JJ turns his words around on him and leaves. Jericho freaks out, then realizes he really wants his belt back and tries to beg some more.
Konnan vs La Parka
Konnan, always ruining my favorite wrestlers. This is worse than having Norman come out and following it with Konnan. Konnan wins in another match where the clearly shittier wrestler is booked to win.
TO THE MORTIS. We've received a home video from Mortis. This clearly wasn't shot at home. Mortis died when Raven Evenflowed him on the stage. KANYON was born! He's going to get to Raven again, again, and again. And he'll never see it coming. BANG!
TO THE MEAN GENE. Gene brings Piper out to talk about his tag match with Savage. Piper is lamer than Foley with his cheap pops. At least Foley had a sense of irony when he did it. Piper makes a lot of Village People references, colon cleanse, bad hair days, and other complete nonsense. Savage comes out and argues with Piper. Then Piper makes a Ru Paul reference. Bret comes out and tries to convince Savage that he and Piper were in cahoots. Helen says hi. Piper insists there were no deals or favors and Savage wants to fight right now. Piper sits in a chair and is going to be Macho's psychiatrist. By making hemorrhoid references. What the fuck. Everything with Piper has been awful.
Kidman vs Juventud Guerrera
AGAIN?! You've got to be shitting me. I'm pretty sure they've had at least 2 matches per month for nearly 6 months straight. Juvi rips Kidman's shirt off. Do you think Kidman gets sad when he sees old videos of him in his prime looking 300 pounds lighter? Juvi hits a big dive, but Flock members distract him getting back in the ring, allowing Kidman to go back on the offense. Kidman channels his inner Hansen with a killer LARIATOOOO. This match is a bit different than their other ones. A. The crowd is super into it, and B. It's really intense. They're not pulling any punches. Powerslam from Kidman. He gets out of the Juvi Driver. The keep reversing and Juvi hits a super spin wheel kick. They do some more reversals, ending in a release German suplex from Kidman. He went up top, but got hit with a dropkick. Juvi Driver. 450 for the win.
Recap of some Steiner stuff. Apparently, Scotty is hanging out in Hollywood trying to get roles in movies.
Chavo Guerrero Jr. vs Ultimo Dragon
Chavo is still freaking Eddie out. He's offering Eddie to hit him, but Eddie won't take it, because Chavo is kind of crazy. I feel like I've seen this match a lot as well. Stump puller! Grounded octopus. Dragon is doing all those wacky submissions his students would do. Chavo bails to recover. Handspring elbow. Chavo gets out of the super rana. Chavo tried to suplex Dragon from the apron back in, but Eddie grabbed his foot, allowing Ultimo to reverse and put on the Dragon sleeper. But he got out. Now he's cheating to win. Tornado DDT. Chavo wins! Gene comes out to ask Eddie what he's done to Chavo. JJ also comes out to announce Eddie vs Chavo at the GAB!
Dean Malenko vs Leafy Lane WCW Cruiserweight Championship
Lenny's gimmick is now spraying tanning oil on himself. No one cares that he has abs. A lot of people have great abs in wrestling. But Dean is that suburban dad with steel handshake that defends his yard from hoodlums without even staining his Dockers. I'd much rather watch that then a Lenny Lane match. Dean wins with the Tayhas Cloverleaf in not quick enough.
Johnny Atitude vs Goldberg WCW US Championship
Oh god, that's the most pro wrestling name I've seen in a long time. I hope his middle name is BAD. He does a Goldberg impression on the way out, so I assume that means he's about to get murdered. LOL at Mark Curtis just shaking his head, knowing what is about to happen. This guy tries to spear Goldberg. Didn't work. Killer spear and jackhammer for the win. You know how Ryback does that stupid march while he has guys up for the Shellshock? Well Goldberg started the jackhammer in the center of the ring, walked to the corner, then walked back to the center of the ring with a guy as big as him up in a suplex position.
Booker T vs Chris Benoit Best of Seven Match 1
Booker gets the best of the opening minutes. Benoit goes to the floor to regain some composure, gets back in the ring, and bails back out soon after. Book seems to have had Benoit's number lately. Benoit finally gets some offense with a front suplex on the ropes. He stays on the offense for a while, just pounding down Booker. Benoit missed the diving headbutt. A long serious of reversals ends in the ax(e) kick. Book misses the Harlem Hangover. Iron Crossface gets the win. Benoit is up 1-0.
Lex Luger/Sting vs The Giant/Sting
So many Stingers. I would imagine Sting isn't too happy that Lex has joined any nWo group. They jump "Sting" and go after Giant. Giant gets bumped over the top. The heels have been on the floor for a good minute and a half with no count out and no breaking of the count. Poor "Sting is getting his ass kicked before a boot from Giant changes everything. Sting makes the hot tag and fucks "Sting" up. He wins with the Deathdrop. Giant bails. He don't want none. The Wolfpac come out and offer Sting a spot. Fans want him to. He starts to leave, but gets back in the ring. He has the shirt, but WE'RE OUTTA TIME!

my friends watch WWE and for them its a show. They love all the soap opera BS!
I stopped watching WWE well over 10 years ago. I just want to watch pro-wrestling, not interested any of the wacky storylines etc etc.
Yeah pro-wrestling is a work but I still want to see it resemble some kind of sporting contest. Thats in the ring and with the promotion outside of it, like press conferences, promo's etc.
As long as the japanese promotions keep doing that I will always be a rpro-wrestling fan.
Come on guys, there's two simple options...
First rule of WWE booking: Lose on Raw, win at PPV.
Second rule of WWE booking: Champion loses in non-title match, new #1 contender. So, if AJ and Big E lose at SummerSlam, Natalya will be the next challenger. They do this all the time guys.
AJ was the notable exception so far actually. I think it was either on the Pollock and Bauer or on Bryan and Vinny where someone mentioned AJ has the most protected finisher in WWE right now because she gets to make people tap out to the Black Widow without fail. As soon as that thing's in, people end up tapping out.
I think the only exception is the match at Payback where she got the title, where Kaitlyn managed to wrestle her way out of the first Black Widow.
---
Seriously, I can't for the life of me figure out why Natalya breaks the hold. Did she maybe hear AJ's clawing on the mat as her tapping?

Seems New Japan will be keeping the contract briefcase gimmick from last year's G1, so
will hold the briefcase and have to defend it until he can cash it in at the Tokyo Dome show on January 4th. Meanwhile, Okada's first challenger for the IWGP Heavyweight Title looks like it will be
! As for the IWGP Intercontinental Title, Shinsuke Nakamura has been challenged by
. Definitely excited for the first match, not so much for the second. Nakamura also lost to
in the G1 and either of them would have made for a better match-up.

Unless they make one of the Korakuen Hall house shows (September 5th & 14th) from the upcoming tour an iPPV as well, the next one will be Destruction on September 29th. Should be a good show, it's always a fairly big one for New Japan and last year's was pretty great;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uD_7KxCn_WM
Ever since becoming the number two guy in the company, the only real feuds he's lost were against the Rock and Taker (one match, not so long build, ended after that). He's won at least twice in that span over Cena, Jericho, Bryan, Ryback, and Del Rio. All of the top regulars. Like against both Taker and Rock, him losing isn't in these bouts doesn't hurt him one bit. It doesn't hurt Cena either, but lolCenawins.jpg.
To me, this is probably a 1 of 2 match between these two. I'm not sure if they'll continue next PPV or what, but I see these two getting a win on each other. The Bork/HHH feud was dumb because it seemed like Triple H was often in control and in the final two matches they had, it felt like they were weakening Lesnar to build up Triple H. I didn't get that.
Cool! Looking forward to it.

Guys, I can't for the life of me remember who the IC champ is. I thought it was Barrett, but he's in the US Title battle royal, so probably not.
Did anyone watch the G-1 Climax tournament from New Japan?
Some of the matches this year have just been out of this world. Epic epic stuff and New Japan just keep delivering show after show after show.
Ishii v Shibata was just amazing. Crazy stiff, brutal!!
They will clean up again in the observer awards.

Yeah, there were a good few of us here watching the tournament - easily one of the best G1's in recent memory and it was absolutely fantastic being able to watch the whole thing live. Meltzer already gave Ishii vs Shibata ***** and I wouldn't be surprised to see him give the same to Okada vs Tanahashi (which would be their 2nd five star match this year). Nakamura vs Ibushi was amazing as well. There's just too many great matches to mention, fantastic tournament.
I didn't feel like Ishii vs Shibata was five stars. It was good but 5 stars?

That's the thing with star ratings, they're only useful if you have a good idea of what the person giving them out likes and doesn't like in relation to your views on wrestling. I was pretty certain Meltzer would freak out over that match and he ended up calling it "the Frye/Takayama of wrestling". I enjoyed it a hell of a lot, but I actually liked Shibata vs Kojima more - it wasn't as crazy and didn't have the same impact, but it was a very smart, well wrestled match. Tanahashi vs Ishii was amazing as well. I'd rank them as Ishii & Shibata's best matches of the tournament, but it's Ishii vs Shibata that will be remembered as it stands out a whole lot more.
No way was that match 5 star to me, either. It was definitely enjoyable and fun, but it wasn't even the best match of that show. I like two dudes beating the shit out of each other as much as anyone, but I couldn't see what made that match stand out so much. In my mind, that's the kind of solid match I associate with NJPW. Not the 5 star classic kind, but the kind you'd see in the middle of the show before things got more thematic and story based.

Basically night 4 and the final day of the G1 are five-star days.
That's my judgment at least. Day 8 was preeeeeetty dope too.
Man fuck Mania weekend, I'd rather make a pilgrimage to glorious uguu-pan and hit every G1 show next year.

It definitely stood out for a lot of people simply because of how hard-hitting a match it was - nothing else in the tournament was quite as strong-style as Ishii vs Shibata. But I think that if it wasn't for Goto's injury then Shibata vs Goto would have come very close, if their previous three matches are anything to go by.

It'll be Cena wins at PPV, Randy cashes in, Bryan leaves with NOTHING. Deal with it IWC

This makes no sense from any point of view Sunny.
Cena leaves, Bryan lost and Orton beat Cena. What is the storyline coming out of SummerSlam? It was always obvious Bryan is supposed to be their second top babyface coming out of this and feuding with Orton over the belt. I think Bryan beats both Cena and Orton this sunday.
