Maybe Rey Mysterio? Vince McMahon?

Both guys were so good, it makes me sad that they couldn't make a success of BattlARTS and Futen. And that Munenori Sawa retired.
Speaking of Gary Hart, I see Court Bauer confirmed that the reprint of his book most likely isn't going to happen - seeing as an original copy will cost you anything from $200 to $1000 and that a PDF version is now out there in the wild, I'd say it's fair game. Can't wait to read it, so many people have talked it up.
Your face is so stupid.
Breeze's gimmick is fantastic.
That's an odd way to spell awesome.

move over uggo
Shut up Carny
I can't get into BattlARTS even though I've been watching a bunch of it. I just don't have time for it. I'm currently sitting on
NJPW(current)
NOAH(current and some of 2014 to catch up on stuff like the Harada/Kotoge feud)
Zero-1(current)
FREEDOMS(current) and maybe some BJW here and there
Pro Wrestling WAVE(current) hard to keep up with. Can't wait to see Hamada vs Shida and Hamada vs Meiko.
AJPW(current) which I just recently started trying to watch again due to Tenryu's retirement.
NOAH(2004-2006) mostly matches I missed during the time.
WCCW 'greatest' discs of which there are hundreds and hundreds
AJW 80s(mostly Dump's stuff)
That's a lot of wrestling.
I've been looking for it as well though I wish they had some sort of way to donate to the estate or something. Gary Hart never got what he deserved as a manager. He could have easily been considered one of the best of all time if he worked for Vince. He even made the Brody/Abdullah feud bearable. Which, to this day, I hold is Brody's only bad feud. Ironically, it is Brody's most famous feud.

"You have good vein coverage. I respect that."
I don't hate the product. There is nothing for me to literally hate. I can't get worked up about stuff like this, it's just silly. Sure every once in awhile they will do something that is just insanely baffling like the RR, but I am not gonna start a movement or write WWE an angry letter.
Sometimes a movie or tv show will simply be not good, Or a sporting event won't be good. But shit..I'm still gonna watch NFL. (maybe my team will win next week)
But yes if I literally hated the product I would not watch it.

God damn I love Gary Hart. His speaking voice and cadence is so excellent. He's so menacing when he needs to be, but still talks to people like they're idiots.
And that's awesome news that there's a PDF out there. Hearing Court say it's basically dead was the final confirmation for me that it'll never happen. Nobody out there wanted it more than Court, and if he can't make it happen, nobody can. I'm dying to read it.

"uggo"? Is that really what he says? You guys are insane for liking this. INSANE.

You're on the right path. Good vein coverage is a bullet point for marketability.
I'm honestly close to cutting off WWE. The last few months I watch Raw a lot less and even when I do I usually do something else while it's on and only actually watch when something I give a shit about is on. I'll stick around till Mania to see the Sting and Taker stuff and see what they do with Bryan this year, but I'm pretty close to NXT only at this point.

You have a really good knack for making things sound fucking disgusting
I take that as a compliment on that one.

Google 'Gary Hart PDF', it's available at the second link down.
Yeah, Abby stabbing Brody in the eye was pretty gnarly looking, though. Apparently Hart's family want to see the book republished, the roadblock is with the co-author who doesn't believe there's enough interest in a reprint or even an ebook, in spite of the fact that second hand copies are selling for silly money.

You don't complain every week though. You genuinely find joy in the show, and that's a good thing.
Dragonzord's post was about people who consistently complain and still watch. It's a weird thing to see, but I understand it because I fell in that trap for a couple years.
Also sorry Dragonzord but you'll always be Dragonzord to me.
You're the gaf version of people who chant husky harris.
It would make its money back in Texas in the first week it would go up for sale.
That cuts deep man.

Why is it you don't try any of the alternatives? What are they lacking in your eyes?
I googled some old Wrestlemania threads on GAF and man, it was a ghost town. This place has grown so much.
Honestly? I think part of the problem is that WWF/WWE is something I've always watched since I was a kid, so there's a bit of a nostalgic attachment. I do seriously need to start watching Lucha Underground though, I hear nothing but positive things.

So it's because you pretty much already know and are familiar with the cast - gotcha.
When you put it that way, yeah you're pretty spot on.
The other alternative is maybe I should stop taking WWE stuff so seriously :/
It's going to be bad either way, unless Bray crushes him the way he should. Why bother having washed up Taker go over Bray, and what does beating washed up Taker do for Bray? It's pointless.
That was a cool spot, especially with how Breeze worked it.

Report me for trolling ND/TLoU2 threads
roman reigns if it happens at mania
I didn't take Warrior losing to Slaughter well as a kid,
That Yokuzuna shit was pretty bad too. I was young, but still I was like... "really? REALLY?"
As for Miz, that's when my wife stopped watching with me. She was just..NOPE. "I know it's not real but I CAN'T."

i haven't been following wwe that closely lately but i thought i'd check out the nxt special
i want to like balor, but he isn't as exciting either in entrance or style as i'd like.
the 4 way women's match was great. we've all said it before but it's really a disgrace what they do to the women in WWE especially in comparison to their own sub-promotion. this match wasn't good 'for a women's match' - it's just entertaining fun, they aren't sexualised, they aren't given embarrassing romantic or catfight storylines, they just put on a good show which the only difference i see from a men's match is that the women are thinner and smaller so they have a different, faster style which can actually be more exciting than a lot of the male styles.
haven't watched the KO match yet.

It's not bad but I like belts to look more old timey. Block text and ornate designs make them look fancy and prestigious. That sort of looks like someone inscribed the company logo into the side of a tuba.

I for one can't wait to see Breeze jobbing to Zack Ryder on Superstars.
Fave Five Most Undeserving Champs
1- David Arquette as WCW Champ
This move pretty much killed WCW, or at least put them into a vegetable coma state that they couldn't be saved from.
2- Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania 9
Not only did he completely shit on the main event, but he also pretty much ruined Bret Hart's status for nearly a year, took the sails out of Yokozuna a bit, and then fucking left the company not long after.
3- Rey Mysterio
I don't hate Rey or anything like that but he got the title as a glorified gift to Eddie
4- The Rock (2013)
Comes back after 7 years off, has one match that he wins, and then gets the belt almost a year after that to act as a glorified transitional champ in order to make Cena look stronger.
5- Sgt Slaughter
Pretty much entirely because I remember absolutely nothing about this run.
