Found out that AAA posts their weekly Sin Limite TV show to Youtube so I spent a lot of my day watching stuff from Triplemania (last August) onwards. Lucha had always been something I wanted to follow but I've only been able to do so for short periods of time. I would watch stuff like the Mistico Vs Dr. Wagner match in CMLL, the Psycho Circus undefeated streak (which was ridiculous at the time but seems to have paid off for AAA), the La Parka Vs LA Park feud and Mistico's rudo run but would gradually lose interest. Lucha Underground has given me the itch for some Mexican wrestling again and since that show is a AAA project there are already some names I'm familiar with.

2015 looks like it will be Alberto El Patron's year much like how 2014 was for AJ Styles. He comes off as a big star since his return to Mexico and he has his fingers in so many pies now. I have become more interested in him than I ever was during his WWE run.

Jack Evans remains the No, 1 "Why have I forgotten about this guy?" in wrestling. His aerial talent is unreal but since he exclusively wrestles in a part of the world we don't pay attention to he remains a face from the past that some ROH fans bring up every now and then.

Have you ever bought some knockoff food product at a discount store but tried it out and realised you like it more than the proper stuff? That is Angélico when compared to his fellow South African wrestler Justin Gabriel. He even pulls off the X Games look better, as in he actually looks like an energy drink.

I will always like La Parka even if this one has become too broken down to do anything well.

I think the Piledriver is no longer illegal in Mexico. Everybody does Package Piledrivers, Canadian Destroyers or Steiner Screwdrivers now. At least sometimes the move is still treated like it's a life threatening move with the victims being treated by medical staff after they lose.

I've posted links to the last 2 weeks of shows and am getting ready to watch the Toluca show in a bit. How awesome is Hijo del Perro Aguayo? Top notch heel work. I had a feeling Jack Evans was somebody but am too unfamiliar with American indie wrestling, is Australian Suicide lumped in with those guys since he wears the same color scheme? I hate the Psycho Circus, to trashy looking. I need to start watching Lucha Underground to become more familiar with these guys.

Watching WK9 thanks to NJPWWorld free trial. Quick first impressions is Captain New Japan is really cringe worthy. I could have sworn there was laughter in the audience as he made his way to the ring.
 
I really, really dislike how Chyna is all of a sudden back in the limelight because she got namedropped on the podcast. A tell-all interview was being advertised the very next day. Like what the fuck? Austin just shouldn't have went there. She does nasty porn and has no place in the WWE or the hall of fame and now she has this spotlight on her.

There are plenty of people that should not be in the hall of fame. So there a place for her in the hall of fame.

Heavy, I thought you were banned for stirring up the casuals into a frenzy.

Welcome back.

That's the point. He's a goofy jobber who no one takes seriously. You want a jobber who people really love? Go watch Honma.

DB - 67%
RR - 33%

when I voted. lol
Okay, guys.

Time to confess. Which one of you on WrassleGAF is repeatedly voting? There was balance in the world apparently, but it seems like the balance was ruined as soon as someone pointed it out in our equilibrium.

Don't do this baby girls.

Her business is her business. I doubt that she's awful , as you're insinuating. Hell, genuinely awful people are in the HoF, such as Jimmy Snuka, Shawn Michaels, and Jerry Lawler. In the case of Lawler, why should someone who actually performs consensual sex be omitted from the HoF, whereas someone who did it without someone's consent gets in a-OK?

We also musn't forget that this is a hall of fame owned and operated by a rapist who also dabbled in drug trafficking. Really puts into perspective how scummy it is for you all to support this company.

bean breath, what would you do if a heterosexual male friend like, say, Aiii bought you some underwear because he thinks it would give you a nice bulge and make you look really hot?
 
Did anyone here play the crap out of GM Mode on Smackdown vs Raw?

I'm so pissed that they dropped it.

Half the fun was fantasizing the booking as a kid.

It's like the perfect mobile game. Why are they making that crappy WWE Immortals when we can have a fantasy booking game.

I would politely accept the gift and avoid Aiii for the rest of my life.

Because kids don't know, or care, what booking is.
