Is Grado the UK's version of Colt Cabana?

I guess, sort of. Grado's story is actually pretty cool - he was seen as a shite 'weekend warrior' sort of wrestler for years, not really doing much in Scottish wrestling and generally being regarded as bit of a joke, but ICW used that notoriety and turned it into an underdog angle, giving him a platform to show what a funny fucker he can be. The entrance helped get him over in a big way, but he's got a ton of charisma and that's what makes it stick. Now he's booked up and down the county and working for TNA. I'd say the only thing that connects Colt & Grado is that they're both 'comedy' wrestlers, but the way they actually go about drawing laughs and entertaining the crowd is entirely different.

Now can we finally get him a challenger that would be viable to take the belt off of him? It's practically become his vanity title at this point. Hey, Naito's not doing anything...

They've kinda put themselves in a corner with the success of the IC title - on the one hand, it's great that the secondary belt can main event shows, but that also means that whoever takes it from Shinsuke is going to have to be a draw on their own, which is why I think they're hesitant to make the change. Personally I think it needs to happen soon, Nak's been tied to the IC belt for too long.

 

[Data West]

Don't worry, I'm sure Fale can win it again. Perhaps we can give Tama Tonga the NEVER title too.

 

[British Monsoon]

If they thought Fale was a draw they would have allowed him to defend the belt against someone other than Nakamura. We're talking about someone actually taking the IC belt away from Shinsuke and keeping it. Naito or Ibushi are the obvious choices, I'd say. Shibata as well, but we know that probably won't happen yet.

 

[bean breath]

Cool, so his gimmick is a shallow paintjob then? That's the only reason he's special?

It needs to be every time because after a few months of brushing off DeMott's drills because he's a Triple H guy, they're going to have to paint in his pectoral and abdominal muscles.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Don't worry, I'm sure Fale can win it again. Perhaps we can give Tama Tonga the NEVER title too.

Yeah, but Fale can't draw main events yet. He might soon as Japan loves their gaijin monsters, but not yet.

And I'd put Yujiro over Tonga as the NEVER champ. Tonga is one step above Cody Hall on in the Bullet Club hierarchy...then again, he DID get the win in several of the Road to New Beginning tag matches with Fale against Okada and Gedo...

I, wishful thinking here, assumed they took the belt off Shibata because they last minute decided that Shibata would be the one to beat AJ. Since AJ is Tanahashi and Okada's cryptonite.

Some cosplay(?)/gravure girl is training to become a joshi.

She is going to get Yuzupon'd so badly. Apparently speaks English too which is always cool.

Are those all-natural, baby?

 

[bean breath]

What does is it mean to be Yuzupon'd?

It's that sh*t that makes your soul burn slow.

 

[British Monsoon]

I like Tonga, he's been improving, even if half his offence is a love letter to Sting.

It needs to be every time because after a few months of brushing off DeMott's drills because he's a Triple H guy, they're going to have to paint in his pectoral and abdominal muscles.

C'mon, that's MetsFan stuff. We're better than that, bean.

 

[bean breath]

It seems to me like Grado is the only reason to watch Impact.

 

[Data West]

In other news, Jun Kasai always looked like he was destined to get put through glass.

 

[jmdajr]

God damn Kingsmen was super fucking violent.

 

[Marvel]

God damn Kingsmen was super fucking violent.

That surprises me.

 

[bean breath]

C'mon, that's MetsFan stuff. We're better than that, bean.

Oh, I believe it completely. It's clear as day to anyone with eyes.

It's obvious just from the way the show is booked that some trainees are receiving preferential treatment and it's definitely not merit based.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

So what's Wrasslegaf doing today?

 

[Heroman]

So what's Wrasslegaf doing today?

Working

 

[Verendus]

Oh, I see how it is. Let's not ask BatistaGAF.

 

[Mengetsu]

So what's Wrasslegaf doing today?

At home playing the game and cooking dinner for myself. If I step outside and see one heart shaped balloon I'll end up popping that shit and a fight will follow. I stay myself indoors on this day.

 

[slightconfuse]

Jr 6 man tag on the Sendai card was dope. New japan needs more luchadores


Double indytaker !

 

[Gorillaz]

So what's Wrasslegaf doing today?

Not sure. Keeping it SnS today most likely. Watching out for "little gap".

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

God damn Kingsmen was super fucking violent.

Sounds like the perfect Valentine's movie to me.

 

[jmdajr]

I finally saw The Interview. I can see why Kim Jon why mad but you know... fuck him.

[FallingEdge]

So Ishii vs Honma is a MOTYC?

 

[Plywood]

Oh, I see how it is. Let's not ask BatistaGAF.

All 2 of you?

HomnaGAF is best gaf.

Isshi's bootleg mortal combat theme is the best

 

[TraBuch]

How do people think Balor's gimmick will play in the WWE? Specifically the paint. Will it be looked at as corny by the casual viewer, like The Ascension?

Hell no. The Ascension is just a different thing all together.

Never forget the summer of 2014, bean. Never forget. Better times.

Today? TNA is blander than a saltless saltine cracker.

 

[Plywood]

YOU ARE BATISTAGAF

I am?

 

[Gorillaz]

Michigan State student section doing the "YES!" chant again.

I saw that.

Not surprising they can relate to it. Michigan state knows the feeling of coming up short every year and being a "B+" team.

 

[Marvel]

I am?

You are now.

There's also spots open on the SoulpatchGAF roster too.

 

[British Monsoon]

It's obvious just from the way the show is booked that some trainees are receiving preferential treatment and it's definitely not merit based.

Pretty sure it was mentioned that when some of those guys signed they weren't on normal developmental contracts. However, I'm mainly laughing at the idea of a guy like Devitt who came through the NJPW dojo system being lazy and ignoring training.

 

[Verendus]

I am?

We are all BatistaGAF.

We accept everyone, even if they don't want to be there. Why? Because we're good people like that. Good people.

 

[Data West]

i think metsfan is a-ry

 

[British Monsoon]

BatistaGAF fears DuctTapeGAF.

i think metsfan is a-ry

They do both act like entitled shitbags, so you could be onto something there.

 

[Data West]

Quiet Storm's build and height would lend itself perfectly to working a midget promotion as the monster heel. Like he could be their Vader.

YOU *cough* ARE *wheeze* BATISTAGAF

There we go

 

[slightconfuse]

Homna is so fucking good

Him and iishi killed it

 

[dr3upmushroom]

So what's Wrasslegaf doing today?

Got the in-laws visiting.
