Support NeoGAF

[Sephzilla]

TOONAMI also has a hard time leaving the Attitude era. Gundam and an hour of first run Dragonball are the top of the card starting in January.

It would have been wrong for DragonBall Super to air in the US on anything but Toonami

Missed Raw. Was is the Face doing all the assaulting?

Nope Rusev destroyed Enzo.

I guess those two really are a couple...

...OF HATERS

 

[Data West]

Oh, this should be fun!

Mutoh's starting up a Grumpy Old Dads promotion! Looking forward to the card being an early highlight in the 2017 indie sleaze calendar.

where's nosawa

 

[British Monsoon]

where's nosawa

It's not THAT sleazy.

 

[Nekofrog]

This whole time I'd thought Nekofrog was Laserfrog.

There's a guy named clydefrog on gaf, that was my username everywhere else on the Internet before I rebranded for my music. That was over 10 years ago and even to this day when I see a clydefrog post on gaf I say to myself "wait when did I post that"

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

That Lana & Enzo segment annoyed me because it was straight up Attitude Era level of creep.

 

[Beefy]

Alberto el Partron vs Ken (Mr Kennedy) Anderson in the UK in Feb. Wonder if it will be any good?

 

[Zach]

Classic Clydefrog.

Mauro about to body JBL like Styles did

 

[Sephzilla]

This one is great until the end. The leaning back kills it for me because that's not how the move is supposed to work/hurt in kayfabe

Someone couldn't spell the lead announcer's name circa 1998? Incredible.

I'd wait until at least late January, plenty of time for Del Rio to no show

Rock has the worst sharpshooter

Here's Bret Hart, about 5 years ago and after having a fucking stroke, putting on a better Sharpshooter

 

[HazySaiyan]

It would have been wrong for DragonBall Super to air in the US on anything but Toonami

When Dragon Ball Z Kai aired on NickToons

 

[Fox318]

That Sharpshooter is pretty damn legit, but I'm still partial to this one

This works the best because:

• It gets it over as a real fucking submission
• Perfect is in pain (mostly because of his shit back) and he doesn't need to sell it anymore than how he really feels
• Matches are more about "Can he get the submission in?" rather than "oh can the guy reach the ropes?"

The drama in submissions should be can they get it in and 2 times a year somebody should be able to roll out or reach the ropes.

Mauro about to body JBL like Styles did

JBL did rightly destroy Mauro on Smackdown after Mauro claimed to know what it's like to be put in the figure four. Mauro was silent for like 10 seconds afterwards.

 

[Data West]

benoit also has a terrible sharpshooter which you would expect better of him

Fucking YUP! The build up to actually getting the move locked in is way more interesting than the whole "can they get the ropes" shit

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Getting better, he only tore 5 muscles doing that one!

 

[Sibersk Esto]

I think the Montreal Screwjob has made the sharpshooter permanently over as a submission in some subconscious way.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Considering Sydal's done in Japan for getting got for vape, Colby's New Japan dojo deal is probably donezo

Maybe? It was a pretty over move pre-Montreal

 

[Data West]

If you want to shoot about the Sharpshooter though

Texas Cloverleaf > Sharpshooter
also wcwcrowd

 

[Fox318]

He had good ones

Its all about how long you can hold that squat.

 

[Sephzilla]

Texas Cloverleaf > Sharpshooter

It's pretty much the same move?

 

[Syder]

The Original Shartshooter.

 

[Sephzilla]

FAV FIVE SUBMISSIONS
1- Sharpshooter / Scorpion Deathlock
2- Figure Four Leg Log
3- Liontamer / OG Walls of Jericho
4- Crossface Chicken-Wing
5- Armbar

I don't think he could look more 'indy geek' if he tried

 

[jmdajr]

I liked it when it was called the Scorpion Deathlock

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Submissions, like kayfabe, are dead

 

[Bluekaveli]

JBL did rightly destroy Mauro on Smackdown after Mauro claimed to know what it's like to be put in the figure four. Mauro was silent for like 10 seconds afterwards.

That was a good catch last night, I was wondering how Mauro knew what it was like to be in the hold myself.

Did you sense some tension maybe between Graves and Aries? It seemed like Mauro and Aries took over last night, while Graves played second fiddle.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Remember when Dolph Ziggler tried to get the sleeper hold over as a finish in 2010?

Hoping my new 4k TV gets here today. Something tells me it is delayed as the last update was it arriving yesterday at a town on the other end of my state.

I intercepted it and I'm using it now. It's really cool, thank you!

 

[Uno Venova]

This submission talk is reminding me of when HHH tried out the Reverse Indian Deathlock about three times.

 

[Kaladin]

I intercepted it and I'm using it now. It's really cool, thank you!

You give it back.

It's not supposed to arrive tomorrow. At least any time this happens, I can contact Amazon and get a free month of Prime.

Torture Rack Top 5 submission

 

[slightconfuse]

Any UK wrestler Sign the mark deals?

 

[Kaladin]

Torture Rack Top 5 submission

Torture Rack is flawed in that there is no escape. A wrestling submission is supposed to have a way out.

Check out that Diamond Cutter! :')

 

[sf2fanatic]

Elbows to the face. But hardly anyone had a chance to try it before submitting.

 

[Rockandrollclown]

Jericho busting out the liontamer on special occasions is the best submission related thing in wrestling. It almost makes the shit ass walls of Jericho worth it.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Elbows to the face. But hardly anyone tried it.

It's because they're in excruciating pain.
