Asuka is very close to breaking Goldberg's real streak but probably won't beat his inflated one if she loses at the NXT Wrestlemania show.

Does Goldberg's streak include house shows? I don't know anything about WCW or if they even did house shows.

half of goldberg's streak was house shows against jobbers

 

[BronsonLee]

They also boosted Goldberg's streak by adding shit twice

Goldberg destroying a jobber was the most hype thing ever

that's the charisma that guys like ryback or stroman lack

Spending an evening watching the wrestling, gone through the second EVE show I missed and currently starting to catch up on the SHIMMER backlog I have, in the hope they'll sort their shit out by the time I get through it! Going through SHIMMER 67 at the moment, great match with Kay Lee Ray and Evie.

Aren't SHIMMER in some financial trouble at the moment?

god look at that fucking crowd.

 

[Cosmozone]

I see, thanks guys. Then the streak itself is totally fine I guess. Just boasting about it is probably a bit much.

Asuka is probably going to break the real number but the one WCW said probably is not going to happen. I doubt WWE will even mention her beating the real number when it happens.

I guess? Dave made some posts about how they weren't doing well.

They made their own bed to a certain extent. Women's wrestling and indy wrestling are as hot as they've ever been, with WWE main eventing women who've worked for you, and you're 1) ALMOST TWO YEARS BEHIND releasing shows and 2) Still doing DVD's only with no digital downloads or On Demand for current shows or back catalog

 

[Nocturnowl]

Damn, they just HAD to choose worst Kane for this.
Still want.

Hero vs Andrews at SSS16 was the match that sold me on both men and on PROGRESS as a company. Must see match. Haven't checked out Scurll/Hero yet, so i'll get to that.

It really sucks that they don't have a proper on demand service, I would love to check some of their stuff out.

So, like, say I wanted to play the best wrestling game ever... what would it be?

Notes: I love Revenge (WrestleMania 2000 and No Mercy are good, too). I've dabbled in Fire Pro Returns and thought it was kinda cool, but definitely prefer Revenge. Smackdown/2K games range from bad to decent to me. I love Fight for NY, but want something more grounded in wrassle reality.

Are there awesome Japanese games I can play somehow without involving emulation?

The best wrestling games are:

Fire Pro Wrestling Z/Returns

Virtual Pro Wrestling 2

Giant Gram 2000

WWF All Stars


All amazing, all for different reasons.

I PERSONALLY love Toukon 2: Brave Spirits for N64 but it is objectively worse than the aforementioned games.

 

[Data West]

WWE All Stars and King of Colosseum 2 are the best pro wrestling video games I've played. And I've played a lot of them.

 

[Acosta]

Watched Wrestling isn't Wrestling for the first time. I've heard Max's opinions of wrestling before and I thought this was a pretty good deconstruction of Trips.

Plus, he's not wrong.

It´s awesome, had a great laugh over it. And loved the take of Cena.

There are no plans to do others like this right? It would be great having several careers explained in this mode.

What puts KOC2 over the Wrestle Kingdom or Toukon Retsuden games for you?

What puts KOC2 over the Wrestle Kingdom or Toukon Retsuden games for you?

WK play like more arcadey DoR and No Mercy games which I don't like as much. King of Colosseum feels much more balanced in terms of difficulty. Those other games tend to swing one way or the other and quickly turn into really one-sided affairs.

I don't mind losing in KoC 2 which is something I can't say for other games.

 

[Syder]

and yet these movies still make money...

 

[The Shapesmith]

Matt Riddle just defended the Progress Atlas Championship vs Michael Elgin in Glory Pro and it was a FANTASTIC match. Have not seen Elgin look much better than that and they absolutely brutalized each other.

This was my first PWG event. Holy shit that was an amazing time. The turnaround time on this blog though. Posted three hours after the event. Work rate!

Im highly entertained by all the missteps and backstage reports they don't know how to book stars or create them.
