I watched the new Mick Foley documentary on Netflix which led me to watch his match with Orton at Backlash. I normally have a strong stomach for violent matches but DAYUM Orton got fucked up in those thumbtacks.
Konnan 100%. Russo at least would have some kind of ridiculous worked shoot thing to say that was funny or entertaining. Konnan is just the worst. Of all the guys, including Bulldog and Anvil, he's the worst. At least Bulldog and Anvil don't look like they're going to accidentally break someone's neck in every match.
I guess I should mention that I made a RedBubble and I made this shirt that's now for sale:

Buy it and prevent me from going broke at college.
If any of you have any ideas for shirts you'd like to see or any ideas to throw my way at all that'd be cool!
hahahaha, tooooo awesome... <3
Considering that's my name, I kinda feel obliged to buy it. Just gotta get dat scrilla up.

Did they remove Ohno from the NXT roster? He wasn't in the intro as normal
The intro changes often enough, but I wouldn't take it as a sign of too much importance. They still have him doing signings and matches at house shows (tomorrow in fact).

THIS is wrasslin'
sold it like a champ. watch and learn, cenar.
He was told to concentrate on his physique and hasn't/hadn't been putting in the work required. He's been off the last two tapings and was off the NXT house shows for a while, conceivably as punishment. Somedevil posted some stuff about it back in the July thread if you want to look for the articles.

WWE app version 1.5 is available on iOS. Make sure you update for bug fixes and other improvements.

A Kane reference was just made on SportsCenter. Where's SoulPlaya when you need him?

lol, what a dumb thing to say.
Probably the same thing that happened to Davey Boy Smith Jr. They heavily restricted his moveset and treated him like a joke for years, which killed his confidence. Same thing happened to Axel, I think, which is why it almost seems like he's getting better with every match he has.

So will we know that racial equality has finally come when a a black singles' wrestler can come out to generic butt rock in WWE? The only one I can think of is Ron Simmons, and he was tag team partners with a white guy.

All this post does is remind how me that What's Up is among the worst rap songs I've ever heard. The studio version is pretty bad, but the live version is fucking terrible, what with Truth normally being unintelligible, but even worse while dancing and out of breath. I have a love of 80s rap, so I am not unfamiliar with terrible rap songs. What's Up is truly at the top of worst ever for me.
Even by wrestling standards, it is terrible.

There are some themes that I recognize as pretty bad but i can get enjoyment out of, whether for being silly as fuck or straight up cheesy. Somehow What's Up is one of them. I just lower my standards when it comes to wrestling music, i think. As long as it gets me hype for that wrestler or whatever it's alright.
BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!

Time to start an "Aiii said Japanese games suck" thread.
It may not bring in anymore viewers but it will promote Bellator and, in turn, keep Spike happy. And if you don't think that will work, you're in denial. Bellator did much, much better ratings when it directly followed Impact than it is right now.
Anyways, I watched this weeks RoH show for the Forever Hooligans and while the match was great, I found it bizarre that they have champions from the second biggest promotion on the planet, which is currently really hot and yet they didn't make a huge deal out of having them there. In fact, I don't think they even mentioned the IWGP Jr Tag belts, despite the fact that Koslov and Romero were wearing them, which is fucking dumb.
I'm also continually amazed that RoH is owned by a relatively large TV company and yet the production values are so minor league it's embarrassing.

Good first half to the second day of the G1;
Shibata vs Kojima might just be my favourite match of the G1 yet, what a goddamn slugfest. GIF: http://i.minus.com/ibsyR8HXggl5g7.gif Also, Archer vs Devitt was surprisingly great, even with the Fale interference. Bizarre to hear "Archer" chants from the Korakuen crowd, but I guess Devitt's hated enough to make Suzuki-gun faces in this instance.
Karl Anderson beat Shelton Benjamin with the Gun Stun
Yujiro Takahashi beat Hiroyoshi Tenzan with a moonsault
Yuji Nagata beat Toru Yano with a backdrop driver
Lance Archer beat Prince Devitt with the Blackout
Satoshi Kojima beat Katsuyori Shibata with a lariat

Certainly true. The thing is, it decreases interest for TNA. They hype things up and everyone watching gets dissapointed, because they're not debuting a wrestler we want to see. Good for Bellator, bad for TNA.

Holy fuck, Tanahashi/Ishii was incredible. Maybe it's just watching live or whatever but I think it's my favourite match of the year right now, it's right up there with Nakamura/Sak anyway.

Yeah, it was really, really fucking great, certainly one of the best matches of the year. Tanahashi played his role really well here and Ishii came across as a huge star in the making. Great reaction from the crowd, who were vocally behind Ishii throughout. Best match on today's card, for sure.
My Fave Five from the G1 so far;
1. Hiroshi Tanahashi vs Tomohiro Ishii
2. Katsuyori Shibata vs Satoshi Kojima
3. Yuji Nagata vs Minoru Suzuki
4. Hirooki Goto vs Kazuchika Okada
5. Tetsuya Naito vs Kota Ibushi

Kayfabe Commentaries is releasing their YouShoot with Kharma this Tuesday so hopefully that will be somewhat entertaining. I liked the DDP one back in May.
A few weeks later, Russo relives WCW 2000 in the Timeline.
I know I asked this once before but am I the only the KC fan on Wrestle-GAF?

You know, I bet this Bellator partnership was more Spike TV's idea than TNA or Bellator's. Bellator probably doesn't mind it because it increases awareness of their show, but TNA gets saddled with 3 guys who take up screen time and don't wrestle. Now 2/3 of these guys are names, and I think the hope is they will wrestle eventually, but I think as time goes on and probably sometime after the partnership is over, we are going to hear how Spike TV forced it on TNA and their hands were tied.

Both those headbutts caught me totally off guard, Tanahashi straight up tried to out Ishii...Ishii, and got a BACK headbutt for his troubles. Always apprecaiate your gif work sir.
Also
That la magistral near fall got me completely, if Ishii was going over I thought that would be the way they would do it, instead we got a totally sick screwdriver. Awesome stuff.
It's the principle of the thing. It's over $200 per jump. And you have to do 4 or 5 team jumps before you can do a solo one. I mean shit, I could just jump off a building and save my precious moneys. That's a rip off.
I hope he has just as bad of a time as I did. Actually, I hope they use my tumblr as a reference point.
Also, lol at Tito being a draw to anything. Dude hasn't been a draw since 2006 at best. Even then, that's pushing it. Lol. He's had ONE win since 2006. I don't remember any of his fights post Shamrock/Chuck besides the draw with Rashad Evans. Fucking Tito Ortiz. Get that shit out of here.

One of my biggest legit markouts of the last five years was when R-Truth re-debuted in WWE and brought What's Up with him from TNA. The song is terrible, the video is shitty, his dancing sucks, his rapping sucks, it's like a perfect storm of wrestling goodness. And the fact that he apparently owned the rights to it personally made it so much better.

Wild results so far. Anderson's gonna take it all the way! Believe, baybay!
Ooo interesting. I want to know more about what happened with her, hopefully this gives more info. I love KC.
Not after she started sharing photos on Twitter of Tito's medicine cabinet. Hoo boy.
