It's neat how NXT can base their advertising for next week off of a women's match and still make people excited. What a concept.

February Wrasslin' |OT2| Where TNA Careers Never Existed

I'm gonna start Watching Wrestlemania XXX now, for the first time. Was it any good?
Wrastlin story cuz I feel like it. Read it or at least answer my LuchaUgr question (bolded) please.
I had soured on wrestling when Brock, Cena and Orton came into the WWF picture. Something about those guys rubbed me the wrong way. They still do now, but not as much as seeing Kane and Show are still a thing.
So late last summer I decided to start watching RAW again after streaming all of Total Divas; yes, yes I know, sue me. The product was as bad as I remember it getting back in 2002 or whenever; however, Paige, Mizdow, Kidd, Adam Rose's bunny and a few others kept me thinking it might get good. It hasn't, esp. with Bryan proving to be such a sycophant. I know he's a "nice guy" but come on, draw a line. He really is a YES man.
NXT has been my real drug, for reasons expressed by others on the regular.
The only thing from NJPW I've seen so far is Wrestle Kingdom 9; I enjoyed it and plan to scratch out time to see more. If only I didn't have to tolerate so much suck it and sweet from Bullet Club, small price to pay I guess.
Lucha Underground, I only saw one male vs female match and haven't had time to go back since.
Could someone help me though; they had a special match or episode in January, I can't remember the date or what it's called. Remind me please; I think it was a kind of tournament, iron man or something.
ROH, TNA, etc = Not enough time

Well yeah, but fuck man, like they really botched that. Like really they think we forgot what happened between Rollins and Orton? They just had Orton run out and attack the authority, but now all of a sudden he is with them? WTF IS THAT?
Been over a year, and they still ain't taken over.

Who's the main WWE character? Cena again?

WM XXX was great but it will also make you baffled and upset how many guys who were stars of that show are either gone or reduced to shit now.
Lucha Underground did Aztec Warfare to determine their inaugural champion.

They were hottest for the women's match tonight too.
On another note Baley should drop the kick through the turnbuckle, it's pretty struggle looking.
Yes, thank you, Aztec Warfare, that's it; was it any good?
Fuck...I feel bad for reading this now.
Yeah, it is kinda bizarre.
*shrugs*
The tourney you may be thinking of is probably Aztec Warfare.
WWE just fucks up everything they touch, it doesnt make any sense for why randy would got to the authority and they didnt think we forgot what happened between Rollins and Orton because they showed the curb stomp when randy was talking.

Meltzer must have really loosened up his criteria for star ratings. That was not a 4 1/2 star match.
The real stars are Fred and Barney (and really hate the new voices)
I mean if the WWE side had a star, it would probably be CM Punk(Rock) who is the main villain of the film.
That reigns promo made no sense.

Just finished watching NXT. Balor's dropkick into my new favorite maneuver - just looks like it kills people.

Yep. Stockholm syndrome has effected everyone. Soon he will be saying Roman is THE guy.
So she worked the company with her shoot and they got marked like a bunch of jabronis so now they have to shoot a work to make people think they care about her shoot. So I guess my question is will it work?

Daniel-san will shoot on Ishii and win the NEVER Openweight Championship.
Neither was the NJPW 4 way tag. His rankings have always been all over the place which is why I never get why they hold so much value to people. He gives ratings just like anyone else, and a lot of the time, they're very inconsistent.
Daniel-san will get treated like Roman-san got treated at the Rumble.
Seriously. Way too generous. I think Bryan is Meltzer's new Bret Hart. A guy who can do no wrong and get an extra quarter or half star just for having his name.

It's funny. Everything Dave wrote down ive talked with friends about and even seen similar post on here, but that story shook me to the core.
I don't know when or why i got into bryan so much. Despite giving him mini title runs it's crystal clear he was never gonna get the run i hoped for. I was part of the epic miami crowd after 28 where it was 20+min of love for him. They treated him like shit so bad the fans had enough. It was surreal and something i never seen before. Fast forward 2 years later and shockingly he main evented and won in arguably top 5 best wrestlemanias. And what was gonna happen? They were gonna feed him to lesnar and send him back to tag title kane segments. Now he's used as a tool to build a wrestler that no one really cares for. They did the EXACT same thing last year with bray till they realized they fucked up. They know he's a great hand that can make inferior talent look better and that's his new role.
Bryan is the new HBK. Had his short moment in sun but 99% of his career is just simply being the best. And you know what? I'm cool with that. I don't need vince approval. Fuck him and his brass rings.

Bryan deserves 5 stars for his carry job he did for Reigns, but the match itself I'd say was 3 1/2 stars.

In the spirit of repeating old jokes
except for the fact that the match was actually really great and both guys looked fantastic during it
but yeah, it was rated so highly just because Bryan was in it, please

Yeah, I thought it was about a little better than the Cena / Rusev match. Not close to the other 4* matches from this year.

Sunny, I'm not trying to tell you how to run your flea market website or anything. But can you tell me why you haven't taken advantage of the fact that Hulk Hogan will get you a retweet for just about anything, brother?
Hogan vs Hart was an enjoyable match. Which made it all the stupider that they involved Sting.

How did Daniel Bryan carry Roman Reigns in that match?
I can't think of anything that stood out in their match. Could have easily taken place on a random Raw. 4.5 stars is just silly.

PARKOUR!!!!!!
Funny how a Bryan/Reigns match happens, the match is better than most of Bryan's matches in a long time (like dating back to that Wyatt flirtation angle), and none of the credit goes to his partner.
It's truly a testament to Daniel Bryan.

Not wrong though. His matches after that mainly consist of Kane Matches.

Solid main event between Cuerno and Mundo. Lucha underground had an amazing show tonight.
