Reigns reminds me of Vamp from MGS now...
Reading between the lines, sounds like Lucha Underground tried to get the Bucks on the cheap - they'd previously confirmed that they turned down one contract offer from LU but were still in talks and now they tweeted;
"If you're a company and you offer us a contract. Make sure it isn't insulting before you send us it. We know what we're worth."
"And no this isn't the WWE. I won't say who it is but it's a very insulting offer."
Anywho, have a gif of Kana keeping it FnP;
Best bit will be when Konnan confirms this while high on his podcast.
He looked like he aged like 6 years and put on 10-15 pounds in the 2 years between Goldeneye and TNK.
side by side, yeah you're right.
I don't know a lot about joshi stuff but based purely on prior KANA gifs, why is she smiling and dancing and not murdering people?

Data you got a link to kana vs Misu?

She'd be perfect for the WWE
Part of it might be the shorter hair, too. He definitely looked like he aged a lot more than he should have in just 2 years.
Friend stro, you should construct a thread for OT talking about who is your favorite Bond and the things you like about each actor who played it.
Triple Six show. It's a weird promotion and that's coming from the DDT guy.
Tsubasa Kuragaki vs Hiroyo Matsumoto (7:06)
This is a short one, so it's not much to ask people to check it out real quick to get an idea of what Oz's roster is like. Unlike Natsuki Taiyo's retirement match which I just watched which is an hour long. And isn't an ironman match. Just a regular match. I've gushed about Tsubasa, but I do it for good reason. 39 years old, and I think she's one of the best workers in the world right now. She's big and impressive, strong as hell, but she never falls into the prime Aja Kong pitfalls of 'I'm big, so I'm not gonna sell for you.' or the Chiyako issues of 'I've been around longer so I'm not gonna sell for you'(fuck Chiyako) She sells. She sells very well, in fact. She reminds me a lot of Dynamite Kansai who I consider the best overall joshi in all of 90s Japan even if she's not my total favorite(up there though)
Hiroyo has a good showing too. Like I said before, she's just likeable. Every time you see her, you want to see her have a good show because you just naturally want to cheer for her. But I want to see Tsubasa win since she's a great Openweight champion. Hiroyo's height makes her look like a respectable challenge for Tsubasa, but Tsubasa isn't just all size. She's so good at everything she does, she throws stiff lariats, she can high fly, she can lift three dudes on her back at once. I was impressed by her usual springboard dropkick because it always look goods, but I was even more impressed when she threw Hiroyo out of the ring and then proceeded to nail an Asai Moonsault. Matsumoto always nails a nice looking spinning elbow to the gut which I've never seen before and does that beautiful backdrop driver. I feel like too many people kick out of that move but having multiple finishers is kind of an Oz thing so whatever.
Awesome rolling elbow into a powerbomb which looked way smoother than I expected it to. I do enjoy modern joshi despite there being some big flaws in it(lack of personalities or everyone has the SAME personality with a few exceptions like Hiroyo, Tsubasa, KANA, Act, etc) and going from insane 90s sold-out arenas to watching these small, quiet little stadiums is hard to accept. No matter how athletic these girls are, the storytelling is hurting big time from the lack of a huge, hot crowd. It's almost like an entirely different medium.
Do you mean the tag against KANA?

man a?

I might when I'm done. I still have like 10 to watch. It's hard to pick though. They all have their own style that works for them, with BronsonLee being the mash up of the others.

If only there was a weird James Bond: Generations movie that had all the bonds from the MultiBondVerse

Just realized that Bad News Barrett made his return in DC. The same place where he described their football team as racist and constantly losing six months ago.

I'm not really into video games anymore but I like GB
Neither are they, which is why I don't really like them.
They still are.
They care about as much as King/Cole/JBL care about calling a two minute Divas match.

Now that Patrick has abandoned ship, I could also care less if Giant Bomb goes tits up tomorrow. Dudes either hate gaming or just want to play DOTA all day if they actually do still enjoy gaming.
Does that mean Jon Jones can do a legit Kamehameha?
I wouldn't go that far but I think that happens when they don't get a vacation or detox from gaming.
Plus they all want to kinda cover their own types of games at this point.
Like Brad is almost dismissive of any game that takes place in a modern military setting or Jeff just not giving a fuck about most Japanese games post PS2.
The game of the year podcasts kinda illustrate that a little but they are still able to have fun and care about games outside of their preference.
Its still a fun site. Dan may be crazy sometimes but he really invigorated a staff that had become bogged down in the CBS corporate structure and deaths.
So he's a newtype?!?
You're not missing anything.
8 days until the first TNA live event in a long ass time. Slammiversary maybe?

Giant bomb is great. Main guys took a big hit when vinny left for New York.
There are two things I don't want to hear nerds talking about: Video games and wrestling. Analysis or reporting on those two subjects will forever be best in print.

You would hate that though.
...Why is this so mesmerizing to me.
Multiverse or it would confirm the fan theory that Bond is a code name and not a person.
Maybe they started watching NXT?
maybe Raw last night was one of those rare times where Vince looked at HHH and said "here, you call the shots tonight"
That's a stupid theory that is clearly not possible. Bondverse operates on comic book/soap opera time scale. Connery though Brosnan are the same guy. Daniel Craig is not, as his movies started a rebooted continuity. Things that happened in HMSS are referenced by Moore and Dalton. Things that happened in the Dalton movies are referenced by Brosnan. Moore references Connery stuff. They are 100% the same person. There is nothing in the movies to suggest other wise. It's the same fan wankery bullshit that has every page at TV Tropes ending in "It was all a dream/dying moment/coma".
Wednesday, to keep up the fight against TNA.
I like the Bond-is-a-code-name theory but i dont swear by it or anything. It's not like continuity between Bond films has ever been a massively important thing.
although the code name theory would explain why Judi Dench stayed along as M
