Do they seriously need to specify exactly who is at what live event months in advance? Do tickets for WWE live shows sell that early?

Yes.

The local WWE Raw ads that have been running for months has changed 5 different times. Cena isn't even advertise for Dec. 30th Raw anymore. He's probably going to be at the Toronto house show. If they advertise someone not on the show, then you can get your money back.

 

[Reneledarker]

strobogo, do not watch AAA. They been trying for years to copy WWE/WCW/ECW. Watch CMLL instead if you want some lucha action.

From this week's Observer

It’s no great revelation that Reigns is being groomed down the line for one of the top spots on the babyface side with a big push at the Rumble. That said, if anything, the plans right now are even bigger than one would have thought.

[British Monsoon]

What happened between hm and ROH?

Nothing, as far as I'm aware - he just left for TNA. Also, probably this;

They have a strict No Fatties policy

I need to do a puro show next. Preferably NJPW because I'm not really into the DG style.

Old or new? I've got some old stuff you might like up over here and the new stuff's easy enough to find. I'd recommend Invasion Attack, King of Pro-Wrestling or Day 4 of the G1 from this year.

Reminds me, I was driving on the I-4 today near downtown Orlando and they have this ridiculously huge advertisement for a house show in a month on the outdoor screen on the Amway Arena and its just a huge picture of Randy Orton standing on a turnbuckle with him in his ring attire.

It just looks so ridiculous but I guess it works because I had no idea there was an event going on and now I know.

But, he said he doesn't 'get' lucha. CMLL is lucha for lucha diehards who've been going to CMLL shows since before World War II. If he doesn't like AAA, he'd hate CMLL.

Actually, I think since the ticket says something to the effect that, 'card is subject to change,' it may not matter. At least in the US. But, the reason why WWE shows just announce people being there instead of matches is that house shows matches change weekly, if not daily.

Probably new. I've only seen one NJPW show this year.

Or NXT.

I might do a random NXT. Right now I'm trying to touch multiple genres (sleazy indy, deathmatch, TNA, WWE, puro, lucha). NXT kind of falls in line with WWE and indy.

But, he said he doesn't 'get' lucha. CMLL is lucha for lucha diehards who've been going to CMLL shows since before World War II. If he doesn't like AAA, he'd hate CMLL.

It makes no sense to me and I haven't heard anyone who has been able to explain lucha psychology.

What are the chances that he'll mention Guardians of the Galaxy? I'm going with somewhere between 80-100%.

Stro you should try to track down the wrestle 1 show from 2002 featuring Gimdber and muta vs kronik

Goldbergs entrance is ridiculous

 

[Pavaloo]

Brock vs Batista?

 

[Professor Beef]

He'll mention that he's a GUARDIAN OF THE WWE UNIVERSE, BROCK. HIS REIGN OF TERROR ON THE WWE ROSTER WILL COME TO AN END.

*seagullpop*

 

[Razorskin]

At least Bryan made it to the cover.

 

[Ithil]

Only one of those was consistently involved in "the best" of RAW.

I've had this idea in my head for a few weeks now that Reigns is going to fight the Undertaker at Mania

and win.

 

[Anth0ny]

the two people involved with the match of the year aren't even on the cover?

this is an outrage

 

[Xater]

Hearing Austin say he enjoys watching the Zumba DVD somehow made my day.

 

[TheWarrior]

If anyone else is bored check out this old MTV doc on pro wrestling during the attitude era. Not WWE produced but probably the prequel to Tough Enough. WWE and Indy guys are featured.

I remember this from when I was a kid. I might give it a watch again soon. I remember Tony Atlas being on it, that's about it.

Which is the best NJPW show to watch from this year?

 

[Man God]

What's next Stro, early 90's Japanese women's wrestling? How far down the rabbit hole are you going to go?

 

[Ithil]

Which is the best NJPW show to watch from this year?

The G1 Climax, which is actually a week of shows.

 

[JesseEwiak]

What's next Stro, early 90's Japanese women's wrestling? How far down the rabbit hole are you going to go?

Hey, the All Japan Women's dome shows are all awesome.

It may not be the 'best', but I think doing this year's Dome Show might be a good way to look at how things went this year.

 

[Man God]

The early 90's stuff is actually amazing. The point I was making though is how esoteric Stro was going to get with this.

 

[strobogo]

I actually was planning on doing a joshi show, preferably late 80s/early 90s when it was huge. One with Bull Nakano doing a leg drop from a cage or something.

Which specific day is the best?

Bad wording on my part, I meant how obvious will he make it that GotG is the reason he's back in his promos (and the commentary)?

Let's see...I recall 1, 3, 4, and the final day being standouts, but there's at least one really great match on every day. 3 and 4 have like 3 MOTY contenders alone.

Whichever ones had Ishii/Shibata and Ishii/Tanahashi

 

[Mr. Luchador]

I'm happy that they eventually had a feud over the La Parka legacy with the real La Parka against the other ones.

 

[strobogo]

Did the real one beat the shit out of the fake ones for being so terrible?

Holy shit Shark Boy was in this.

I think I'm going to go with King of Pro Wrestling. I don't want to watch a random day in a tournament.

Yup. For that silly movie.

Shameless Batista.

Still better than Rock promoting his shitty new movies.

 

[Rapstah]

Did the real one beat the shit out of the fake ones for being so terrible?

Yes, and then I think they resolved it by splitting the fake La Parka into three fake Las Parkas, sending the real one to the indies. Lucha Libre.
