Thanks.
Props to people who make long distance relationships work.

Man, I was looking forward to that phone call. Expected a Festival of Friendship (well, the lovers equivalent) and well... I guess that's what I got given how that ended. 🤔🤔🤔
Yeah sorry to year that dude. Long distance is rough. Did it a couple times. Never again.


Watching SoomahSlam 97. Shamrock belly-to-belly suplexing Patterson, Brisco, and a bunch of refs reminds me why he was so fucking over with me as a kid

Tough watching that infamous piledriver spot with Austin. As part the match Owen is working his neck before that... just a sense of dread knowing what's coming. Lawler's slimy ass going "show it nice and slow!" as they replay what happened with the piledriver.

Austin not being able to clasp his hands and his feet just dragging as he tries to walk... fuck man. It's one of those things I don't make a habit of going back and watching again.

This is the best wrestling-related video I've ever seen. It's even better than the most illegal thing I've seen in the history of wrestling.

People line up to get slapped by Antonio Inoki.

*CLAP CLAP CLAP-CLAP-CLAP*

Love that video. One of the first things I watched when I got back into wrestling lol. I am going to be sad when my Inoki shirt eventually wears out.

Watching the ending to the Shibata/Okada match is very similar :(
 
Most folk style wrestling and catch grappling styles were influenced by those 3 nations.

Catch - Great Britan
Freestyle - United States
Jujutsu/Shoot wrestling - Japan

Oh Canada
Our home and grapple land
True shoot love
We'll tie you up with one hand
With roaring elbows
We see thee fall
The true north 1,2,3
From far and wide
Oh Canada
We shoot on marks for thee
Harts keep our shoots
Glorious and Free
Oh Canada we shoot on marks for thee

Oh Canada
We
Shoot
On
Marks
For
Thee

My kid self disgusts me how much I hated heel Bret. Dude was a fucking rock star. Never get tired of his entrance. Always gets a pop out of me.

Holy shit the at the amount of female screams when HBK's music hits.

FOX316 SHOOTS HARD ON CANADA'S LACK OF EVERYTHING(8/31/17)

I mean Jack Taylor and Stu Hart are famous Canadian shooters.

But as far as I know they didn't influence the style as much as those nations.

You probably could make an argument for Greece, Turkey, Iran, and India but those grappling styles aren't as similar to what we see today as submission grappling.
 
Sexy Star gave her first public statement post-Triplemania. You're going to be shocked at this, but it turns out she's still a piece of shit

The translated end of her statement said:
It seems that the girl is injured; I do not know, I do not know. That's all I can say.

Billy Robinson I think is up there as one of the biggest influences on shoot style pro wrestling. It laid the groundwork the UK for sure, and guys later on adapting the style here.
