I've ragged on Colt before for his half-speed World of Sports spots, but this was swift.
Is the gif at normal speed though?

The opening video package to SummerSlam 2001 has Drowning Pool "Bodies" video interspliced in it and for a second I thought the singer was Bray Wyatt

Is...is this a shoot?
Making Chikara's costumes look Hollywood-quality.

I miss this show. And the announcer saying Red Dragon Chris Casamassa.
Eddie Guerrero vs Brock Lesnar at No Way Out 2004.
Hahahaha.

I think a lot of people considered it under selling, but I enjoyed "The streak... is over." I thought it fit how somberthe mood of the arena was.
You should check out a little pair of Samoan brothers named the Usos! They get Uso-crazy! Sometimes we get ta see us some flyin' Usos!The 'masked wrestlers tag team splitting their masks' gimmick is my favorite tag team aesthetic gimmick

"Spinaroonie? That sounds like something delicious Chef Boyaredee would make." - JR, effortlessly working in the sponsor of the show in the main event.

Inspire Pro internet banners from BattleWars 2 (which is Inspire's show with Chikara) are coming out. Here's what's been announced so far. Would expect maybe 2-3 more unannounced matches. Probably won't know what those are until the official event poster comes out:
This was arguably the hottest indy show in Texas last year, and front row for this one was sold out the day the date was announced, with no idea what the matches would be, so it's going to be another big show for anyone into indy wrestling in the Central Texas area.
Boots should be excited for the Franco d'Angelo match... Keith Lee vs. Franco d'Angelo is hoss-er-iffic.

thread worthy imo

Why wasn't Dean Cain given a match at SummerSlam?
Honestly? Would be IC title Jericho or tag team of the decade with Eddie
I would have liked to seen them fight for that title with Rick and Scott.
Imagine all the US Flag Tights.

WCW pretty much killed his chances dead with that kid's "Juicer" gimmick.
His career Resurrection was after that gimmick anyways. It was pre-internet oversaturation, and it's not like there weren't plenty of wrestlers with stupid gimmicks in the past.
Man, 90s tag team wrestling. Ain't no other decade like it. Not even close.

There's just something about Roman's confrontations.
This was the most cringe worthy shit. Lesnar shoulda killed em. Look at the little baby grip on the title.

Goldberg was cool in the Elimination Chamber, but it's funny he still went for the spear even though H's sledgehammer handle was very apparent. Would've been huge if he won.

So who do what WWE/NXT match ends up being the best this weekend? My money is on one of the two NXT main events or Cena/Rollins.

Title tug-of-war is still the dumbest shit build up. The fact that its the final spot before the supposed biggest and most important match on their biggest event of the year makes it even more ridiculous.
Seriously, they all come off looking stupid, who came up with doing that lol.

This gif looks like a potential faction in the making.
I'd go with one of the two NXT mains as well. I think the ending to Cena/Rollins could probably taint everything that comes before it. If Taker doesn't get concussed, I think his match with Brock can be great at what it's trying to accomplish.
Orton looks like he just had a flashback of on of his cocaine fuels benders

What if they do a draw like Punk and Cena did at Night of Champions a few years ago?
It would certainly help Rollins to go the distance with someone like Cena in 2015. Plus it could fill up time on this show. So yeah, I'd like this.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I'm like 90% sure it's a fuck finish
I mean, I guess I'm being too negative here. It's not like Rollins will win clean or anything, and if he does it would be in a career making sort of way, which would make me happy as shit.
I think it's too early for Shaemus to cash in. I wouldn't mind if he feuded for the case with Ambrose or Reigns over the next few months and one of them got it.
There's just no one in the uppercard I'd like Cena to feud with if he got the belt besides Rollins, and they could only do that match one more time, twice if generous. HHH or Undertaker would be fun, but c'mon, that's not happening. We've already got a lot out of Brock and Cena, and that's about it for top of the card heels or heck, even believable contenders.
