One thing I can say about NJPW is atleast they let the newcomers look good, even though they are jobbers (Cody Hall, Finley's son, etc).

This is disturbing.

considering Eva is getting time in NXT right now I don't think she's going to be eating up time on both NXT and the main show

Why

The other big strong point for the company is the WWE 2K 15 video game. The video game increased $6.2 million in company revenue from the previous year model, which was a 40 percent increase in sales. It was expected to handily beat last year's numbers due to an increase in consoles the game was released on, but it still exceeded expectations.

ROH about to fire back at the NXT women

They are looking at producing a test all-women's show sometime very soon. The idea is to be like some of the indie groups that have booked arenas and done afternoon women's shows taped for DVD prior to the evening men's shows (that also include women's matches). The situation will be similar, doing a test run show called Women of Honor on an afternoon before a women's show. Right now there are no plans on including this as part of the television package. They are looking at bringing in women from Japan for the first show after the great crowd reaction to Nanae Takahashi's match with ODB in Las Vegas and a dark match with Mandy Leon vs. Deonna Purrzo turned out well on the 7/25 show in Baltimore.

How fucking pathetic that ROH only seriously looks at womens wrestling when its off the backs of something else.


How very Ring of Honor.

And yet again there's anime-avatar shaming going on from the numbskulls who jump to the conclusion of: "Likes anime/similar art = Likes lolicon and CP"

On a less frustrating note: have you had a chance to play Tormentum yet?

I had to get it refunded. Wouldn't boot for me. :( I spent that money and a little more on Sheltered, and it wouldn't boot either. Windows 10 has been making me sad, just bad luck with my video card and their new shit. Clicker Heroes won't start, I can't try Sakura Clicker to see what people are all happy about...Life is Strange won't start.

I'm in a bad way.

Lana is #COOKED

Apparently the rocket on Lana's ass, so to speak, is about to be switched to Eva Marie per the people at the top. To Eva Marie's credit, she is busting her own ass in training now but they are going with the storyline of the woman that everyone shunned and made fun of for being so bad who works hard and makes herself into a superstar.

Owen DVD coming

The company will be releasing an Owen Hart DVD on 12/7, even though Martha Hart came out publicly against it. WWE absolutely has the legal right to do this, but it sure feels weird to produce a DVD on someone who died on the company's watch when his widow made it clear she didn't want them doing it. They are also releasing a new Undertaker DVD in November according to Wrestling DVDNetwork.com.

I have to say that Data West/Bootaay's back and forth about Japanese wrestling are some of my favorite reading in this thread.

On that topic I just randomly watched the main event of NOAH Summer Navigation this year, holy shit what a violent brawl. Takayama looked like hell after it was all said and done, so much blood, a beat up face from a huge exchange of slaps, multiple chair shots including a couple of barely protected ones straight the the head. How was that match received? I know Data and Bootaay are kinda down on what NOAH is doing right now with the NJPW guys booking it but I thought this was a compelling match even with all the Suzuki Gun interference.

Minoru Suzuki (c) vs. Yoshihiro Takayama

Suzuki's physique is pretty exemplary for his age.

Fuck. Sounds like I was right to hold off Windows 10 until my indie-game backlog is cleared. Been a productive few days on that front though. Since Saturday I've started and finished Her Story & Neon Struct, plus I've done the last 250 rooms of Spooky's House of Jump-Scares now that they've been released.

Next up is White Night, followed by Contradiction and Cradle. By the time I'm done with them, the big-name games should have started flooding back in.

Her Story is currently probably gonna be my Game of the Year unless it gets really popular, then it's going to the shitbin because I don't like popular things. I am in the middle of Contradiction and it's not grabbing me, but I'm too much of a "gruftie" like you people say to enjoy it.

Going from porn to team name that sounds like a drug name.

Does no one in WWE have Google, or Bing, or even AskJeeves?

If you AskJeeves he'll ask for a Dominos coupon so he can eat pizza in a suit. It might not be worth it.

Different time, but holy crap did the ROH crowds treat Lacey, Daizee Haze, and even Sara Del Rey poorly when they had matches on the main ROH cards.

Meanwhile, SHIMMER and SHINE are looking at Women of Honor with the side eye.

Total Divas S4 spoilers about Eva's push

So WWE is basically going to transfer Eva's Total Diavs storyline with the actual WWE product. On Total Divas, all the other girls don't like Eva because it took her two years in WWE to finally start wanting to wrestle. All the girls think she just wants to be famous rather than be a wrestler. Which makes sense to why WWE wants to push her now as everyone thinks she's trash and she overcame the odds

Second part of the spoiler would be interesting. Seeing if
Brock would torch him by ripping his beard off & steal his briefcase.

Looking forward to the season, not looking forward to our opening match - can't stand the gooner cunts, other than Millwall they're the most muggy side in the capital. And Wenger's a shitbag. Football makes me angry :p
