Also, there are an alarming amount of people here wrestling in boxer briefs.

Breeze, Kidd, Neville, and Sami in the main event scene. Vince was probably rolling in his grave.

I like him too... although if he wasn't angry all the time I'm not sure I'd want to listen to him, either. His angry rants are what make him entertaining.

B&V's TNA rants are the big selling points of the podcast archives tbh

He got injured from a botched powerslam in October but I think it was said he should be back later this month or at least he hopefully would be.
Poor guy has had the worst luck.

He and Dave actually commented on it at least once, they said a significant amount of subs came from that stuff being 1) easily available and 2) going viral. They don't like every single thing being uploaded but are fine with some hilarious stuff like the TNA rants garnering attention and new subs.
I think seeing that potential is why Alvarez even started putting some audio/video up himself on an official Youtube

Lol ECCW is hillarious fun.
If you're in Vancouver you have to check it out.
Decent workrate but awesome audience interaction.
Dr. Luther threatened to slap me XD

You pay to listen to Bryan Alvarez?
I pay for Dave and Filthy Tom.
Bryan is just a loser who needs to start taking some valium so he calms down, I get it's his gimmick but it's lame.
I like him when he's with Filthy Tom or when Dave Meltzer is totally no-selling a joke. I mostly wish he'd drop some of that radio cadence.
Vinny is the worst one of them all so I take pleasure in hearing him suffer through Raw.

Yeah Cody is one of the ex-WWE that I want out of the indies.
He is having mediocre matches with great talent, 2-3 star matches with guys that could have a 4 star match with a broom.
He is everywhere: TNA, ROH, Evolve, PWG, UK indies, and now NJPW.
He politics his wife to be a wrestler in TNA when she haves like 0 experience.
Trump supporter.
He deserves to be the exclusive champion of Global Force Wrestling.

Do you think is fair for the rest of the TNA women wrestlers to have Brandi, some one with no experience, to take their time because Cody wants his wife to wrestle?
Heck, TNA probably pays her more that the rest of the women wrestlers.
Pro wrestling isn't a fair sport.

SHOOTMAS Day 11
AWA/NJPW's Billy Robinson vs NJPW's Antonio Inoki
A classic match between two of the greatest in ring performers ever. Robinson was trained at the famous Snake Pit in the UK and is widely reguarded as on of the greatest catch wrestlers of all time. He has trained some of the greatest prowrestlers, Catch Wrestlers, and MMA fighters of all time.
Inoki on the other hand may have birthed modern MMA with his match against Ali and his matches against other martial artists and his promotion of shoot fighting helped popularize the sport today.

Doo Ho Choi and Cub Swanson killed Shootmas tonight.
You ain't gonna find a better shoot than that to put on your list.
You ain't gonna find a better shoot than that to put on your list.
Same happened with every talent that left WWE and had to tour the indies.
Shelton Benjamin, Christian, Matt Hardy in 2005, the ugly one from MNM etc etc
Hell it Taijiri fucking eons to remember how to actually work again.
If every fight in UFC looked like that I'd watch UFC. Incredible fight.
Then it would become the norm and boring. You have to experience shit to appreciate the good.
Seeing talk on Twitter this morning that WWE's UK announcement next week will be for a CWC style tournament for British wrestlers. The editor for Fighting Spirit Magazine confirmed that invitations for such an idea have been passed around. So I guess this ties in with the UK contracts story from last week to combat World of Sport's revival. Seriously lads this part of the world is going to be a major behind the scenes battleground in 2017.

Wanted to watch a random show picked Clash of Champions XXXV (the last WCW Clash) and the host and chef from TBS' Dinner and a Movie turned heel on Mean Gene , joined the nwo, and the host ate a diamond cutter...
I fucking love wrestling.

It's kinda amusing how much WWE are shitting themselves over what will probably end up being filler TV.

Well if they wanted to get rid of him with minimum fuss, "getting rid of the position" is probably the easiest way anyhow. Not like they need any writers given vince just ends up doing his own thing anyway
hahaha, wwf's really trying to kill WoS before it even gets a full series. must be really worried about how many people are going to be watching WoS (which will probably be more then watch raw in the US).
Sir_Crocodile
Member
I know right? wwf scared of the coronation street network.
I think all they see is the huge viewing figures on the station. I wouldn't be surprised if the WoS pilot did close to 10+ million if ITV advertise it properly.
More curious as to what it'll retain if it turns into an actual series. 5 mill maybe?

Initially it was going to be on New Year's Day itself, or after midnight, but the fact that ITV have positioned the WoS premiere in prime time on New Year's Eve suggests they have some faith in it and (if it does well) we could be seeing some more.

God I was thinking about the women's division, could you imagine Molly, Jazz, Victoria, Gail Kim and even women like Ivory and Jacqueline all being part of what the division is now.
I guess we'll get a taste of it with Mickie James now returning, but this is the most exciting time in women's wrestling in probably the past 30 years if not longer.

You probably love 80s to 90s joshi stuff.
The only thing getting 10+ million viewers is the New Year countdown. Last year the top 10 shows were in the 5-8 million area and even then I'd be shocked if WOS will reach those numbers.

Well, probably not if you're Japanese. They've had it great over there since the eighties at least, with wrestlers like the Jumping Bomb Angels who were so good that when they came to the wwf for a while, they were asked to tone it down as they were showing up everyone on whatever card they were on.
In the US you're right though, I think this is the first time women have been so well featured in a major promotion for decades (which is more or less vince's fault I guess). Ironwoman match should be awesome.

We'll see! I think it'll defo do over 8mill. They're going be doing some retrospective clips interspersed with the action, so there'll be a lot of nostalgia on the pilot show for the old show.
