SWCW is a beautiful train wreck and is running Saturday night in Okc. Sunny and I are Tulsa though. I'd think you're passing through there on the way to Okc.

I should be going through both OKC and Tulsa.

 

[mechashiva]

I should be going through both OKC and Tulsa.

Dude! If you're coming through Saturday I'll tell you what to watch. Elote! 4 women's tiny ring Lucha matches then yours truly wrestling in a dress.

 

[strobogo]

I-44 is what I'll be on, which goes pretty much through both Tulsa and OKC as far as I can see.

 

[tm24]

Wait, you're going to Huntington beach? Is there a different Huntington Beach or are you coming to SoCal?

 

[strobogo]

SoCal

 

[Kaladin]

I will make it out to California one day.....one day.

 

[tm24]

SoCal

Should of timed it out with a PWG show. Could of shown you around but i'll probably be at school or work.

 

[Kaladin]

This is so bad it's good.

The Undertaker - The Man In Black (Wrestlemania Album)

Not much in the way of quality. There's a few guys that are good. For almost all of them you're looking at cell phone matches. There's a group out of Lawton, OK called IZW. For a short period of time they were broadcasting on that comcast sports network and people in Philly wondered what the fuck they were watching. Now they do weekly gfl ippv's.
You can learn about current promotions and see some terrible gimmick names at oklafan.com. Feel free to shoot me any specific questions or if you're looking for something let me know.
It's a shame most of the opw footage is lost. Late 90s there was a solid promotion that ran out if the bowling alley every week.

I went to OPW during that time. Lot of good memories, a couple shameful ones too. Someone threw a chair into the ring and it opened up Bull Schmidt and my buddy and I jumped up and cheered. Kinda shameful in retrospect, he was taken away and couldn't finish the match.

Loved the hell out of Great Bolo. That fool came out to Misirlou. Good stuff.

Punk fell off the wagon.

Holy shit, this is actually amazing, I will die a happy man and then resurrect as a deadman walking if he uses this theme at Wrestlemania this year.

And cheesy wrestler sung themes like this gives me the excuse to post this Kurt Angle Classic.

 

[strobogo]

I see a TLC match at the IZW show next Saturday. A local indie TLC match sounds amazingly awful.

That gives me an excuse to post this other Kurt angle classic

Maybe she's the one holding the beer?

Someone could die. I'd go if Zandig was on the card. Does Zandig know he's a meme?

That's Lawton, I can't go but it definitely could be life changing.

I manged and then took a stunner from Schmidt last summer!

 

[strobogo]

Lawton looks pretty far out of the way. Probably won't do that. But the idea sounds great.

 

[Professor Beef]

My enjoyment of Bryan/Cesaro was hampered by SD's rather shitty crowd, granted SD might always be like this and I don't watch it enough to remember, all I recall are seagull pops.

If they were owl pops, you'd remember!

Punk fell off the wagon.

All he does is loaf around and drink beer.

 

[FyreWulff]

So Jericho had Edge on his TALK is JERICHO show. They go in-depth about the Summerslam 2010 elimination tag match main event with The Nexus.

Edge said they pushed hard for Wade Barrett to go over in the main event because of how red hot The Nexus angle was at the time. But Cena "wasn't feeling it". He suggested the whole DDT-on-the-concrete spot and that he come back from it to beat both Barrett and Justin Gabriel. They went with it because who's going to tell Cena "no"?

Just another awesome angle in a long line of awesome angles that died due to stupid shit before it's time.

 

[mechashiva]

It's an hour south of Okc so it's not a huge detour. It's a chance to visit one of the shittier towns in Oklahoma too.

 

[Dick Justice]

It's from the latest Austin blu ray.

Would that be The Bottom Line?

 

[Carnby]

Anyone here listen to Talk is Jericho? His 2 part interview with Chavo Guerrero was really good. Lots of emotional talk and details regarding Eddie's and Benoit's deaths, and Chavo taking a couple of jabs at John Cena and DX.

Where do I go to listen to Jericho's, Austin's, and J.R.'s podcasts? I'm very interested in listening to the Jericho podcast you just described.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

That's Lawton, I can't go but it definitely could be life changing.

Ah hell Lawton is a ways. I hate Lawton.

Broke down in Lawton when I was 18. Almost got hit by a car as I decided to RUN ACROSS THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT seeking help. I woulda deserved it!

Back to watching NJPW:

Tetsuya Naito & Tomoaki Honma vs. Tomohiro Ishii & Yujiro Takahashi

Hoping the second half of this show is better than the first.

This Valentine’s Day, NBCUniversal will either be giving WWE a big kiss or they’ll be breaking up.

The two parties are grappling over continuation of the sport-meets-reality TV programming on NBCUniversal’s USA Network and SyFy Channel.

An exclusive negotiating period ended last week with no deal in sight. We hear the pressure is on for a deal to get done in the next few days.

An industry source told On the Money, “NBCU has until Friday, Feb. 14, to respond to WWE’s final offer.”

It’s not clear where the price tag stands, but reports have suggested the last deal was priced at $140 million, and the WWE had been looking for a leap up that gives it a similar premium accorded to sports rights.

WWE — which announced the launch of its own over-the-top network for wrestling fans at CES — is one of the few things on TV ( besides sports) that fans want to watch live.

The question is, how badly does NBCU want to keep it? And where will it land if the two parties split up?

Next week, something could be very raw, and someone could be writhing in pain on the mat.

Stay tuned.

[strobogo]

If I'm going to take an hour long detour, it will probably be in California so I can go see a comedy show at the Ice House. Although I see no Deathsquad people there. I need to see Brody Stevens live.

 

[slightconfuse]

Fox sports 1 would be a good fit if NBC doesn't Work out . They need some content desperately

 

[JesseEwiak]

Just another awesome angle in a long line of awesome angles that died due to stupid shit before it's time.

I like how everybody believes Edge & Jericho, simple because they're slamming John Cena, who's the worst person in the world. Here's a clue, if a wrestler is talking, he's working you. Also, Cena could've wanted that finish as much as he wanted, but Vince was the final arbiter of what actually happens.

 

[Nocturnowl]

If they were owl pops, you'd remember!

Owl pops should be used to indicate an apathetic crowd, which is to say they should play during Orton's heel promos.

I wonder how Uncle Dana would feel about that though......

 

[slightconfuse]

Considering that the Raw overrun helped make the first season of the ultimate fighter a success he should welcome it .

 

[Alucard]

Okay, that tag match was very good. It just made my list of favourite matches of 2014. Good start to the second half of NJPW The New Beginning.

 

[Toki767]

Realistically I think Vince wants to stay with NBC as much as NBC wants to keep WWE programming. They aren't going to go to the highest bidder if NBC gives them anywhere near the amount they're asking for.

 

[Man God]

NBC is doing so poorly I could see them actually putting Smackdown back on Thursday nights on real NBC.

 

[slightconfuse]

I think Viacom will give series bid for smack down at least .

 

[Malvingt2]

well

The following photo was sent to us by a Redditor and features CM Punk with who appears to be his good friend Chez. Social media has been rampant with talk that Punk is holding the Bud Light pictured but it appears his friend is holding the beer and Punk is taking the photo

 

[RBH]

And WWE wants Smackdown to be live every week in the new TV deal, I believe.

 

[Toki767]

NBC really hasn't had a hit TV show in a long time have they? Since Heroes maybe? I could definitely see them just putting Smackdown on broadcast TV on Fridays. WWE doesn't want Smackdown on Thursdays anymore I think. They want either Tuesday to tape live or Friday for maximum edit time.

Someone needs to photoshop in a crazy straw going to his mouth so it can be case closed.

 

[strobogo]

Smackdown needs to be live. It's the only the way the crowds are going to not be silent and the shows will actually have some energy to go along with what are usually solid cards of matches.

The Voice.

They'd go live on Thursday/Friday if they got on flagship NBC.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

They don't want it to be live since it would cost more money to do a live production, but the idea is that they are "ready" to do it only if they have to.

 

[Man God]

They don't want it to be live since it would cost more money to do a live production, but the idea is that they are "ready" to do it only if they have to.

Being on flagship NBC would get them a ton of extra viewers just because of the expanded free OTA audience and extra exposure. It's the only way they'd ever go live again for SD.

 

[RBH]

They don't want it to be live since it would cost more money to do a live production, but the idea is that they are "ready" to do it only if they have to.

Gotcha. That makes sense.

To make its show more attractive, WWE is considering a live version of its two-hour “SmackDown,” which currently is taped on Tuesday before its Friday airing. To do that, costs to produce the series would increase, due to scheduling, and the show would likely need to move to a new night. But WWE would be willing to make the switch in return for a better fee for the series.

[FyreWulff]

Smackdown on NBC would pretty much mean Cena would start spending all of his time there, no?

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

If Punk was going to start drinking, you really think he'd go for a Bud Light?

 

[Alucard]

8-man tag on NJPW show was pretty good fun. Enjoyed it. Lots of chaos, as expected, but not overly memorable.
