Nope, I'm hopefully gonna have time to start it this week, can't wait to read the stuff about Muta. Got Jack Brisco's book to read as well, reviews seem to think it's a bit on the dry side, but there's a lot of good info there.

You motherfuckers are the Bootaaay/Mr Luchador of this thread.
The book is amazing because it's just fucking GOOD to hear all these crazy tales. Gart Hart was involved with some fucking ROUGH people and he does a great job painting a pictures of what it was really life, with no real "I was a boy age 5 growing up at..." but instead dives right into his shit, which helps because he BEGAN his career in some crazy shit.
It's just fucking good.

Has anyone read "Wrestling at the chase"?
My feelings were he could be the next Batista. Can he be more? Not sure. But I think it's safe to say Batista level is in reach.

Roman hasn't flashed any kind of potential mic skill to rival Douchetista though. I give Batista a lot of shit but I thought he was solid on a microphone. I think Roman has the potential to be the next Sid Vicious. He's got the look and a few really good power moves, but keep him away from a microphone at all costs.

I don't think Reigns will be DOA in LA, but it's not impossible that he'll get booed

No, but it's definitely on my list - Sam Muchnick seems rare amongst wrestling promoters, in that I've never heard a bad word said about him, and St. Louis was a real interesting territory that I wish there was more footage of.

Legends of Wrestling at Citifield this season. Think it's the same deal the Marlins had last year (or maybe 2 years ago?).

Looking back on some of the older footage it's crazy how over guys like The Rock, Austin, Mankind, Eddie, Benoit, I'd even add in guys like Edge and Cena... where over and accomplished before they got the main title. The only one I can remember where it seemed pretty quick was Bork, but he was an unstoppable monster, I still didn't like that he got pushed to high heaven at the time.
So what has Roman accomplished outside of a weak RR win? At this point I don't care much, it's obvious that the WWE has had trouble building up a consistent top star/upper mid card stable of people.

I'm fully prepared to accept "JOHN CENA HAS TIED RIC FLAIR'S RECORD" by SummerSlam
Without question.
The first thing Batista had going for him was looks. Ring ability was always ok maybe even solid. But he was not good at the microphone at first. At all. He got better as it went along to levels I didn't think were possible.
I watched NJPW on AXS on Friday. Davey Boy Smith, Jr. impressed me, I liked him in the ring, can't understand why he failed so badly in WWE.
Also, you can add me to the list of Nakamura fans. His match with Ibushi(?) was excellent. It was one of the more intense matches I've seen lately, just great all around.

What was the Stang sign from last night referencing?
Don't tell me Sting, I am not stupid I know that.

It wasn't referencing Sting. It was referencing STANG.

Then he came back and got bullied by Daniel Bryan fans who called him "Bluetista." I think this is why we're finally starting to see pushback to Daniel Bryan fans.
Not this time, not again.
Remember how Daniel Bryan unprofessionally mocked Lesnar's attendance despite Lesnar only doing the legal thing and fulfilling his contract?

Sitting on their hands isn't going to change anything either, so might as well voice their displeasure.
Fact is nothing is going to change until someone other than Vince wrests control.
Oh, speaking of movies I watched this weekend. I finally got around to watching the RoboCop reboot this weekend.
I never went and saw the reboot in theaters or bought on bluray because I just had no ambition to see a movie destined to fail my expectations, that and the trailers made it look bad. After watching RoboCop 3 and remembering how awful RoboCop can actually be when done poorly I gave the reboot another chance.
Eh, it wasn't RoboCop 3 level bad but the movie did absolutely nothing to stand out. I'd say RoboCop 3 had more stand out moments (albeit for the wrong reasons). It definitely was inferior to RoboCop and RoboCop 2 though.

It's like they learned nothing from John Cena. It's why I can no longer feel pity for it. You keep showing up, you keep watching, you take whatever Vince McMahon tells you to take.

The movie had an abrupt climax and ending. Michael Keaton just turned weirdly evil.

Remember that Raw where Sting appeared, and that distraction was enough to let lolcenawins happen so Dolph/Rowan/Ryback could get reinstated, and HHH spent the next 3 minutes screaming STANG into a microphone
That. That's what it's referencing.
Oh yeah? I watched it this weekend as well.
I thought it was pretty good.
Had me laughing a little bit as well.
RoboCop 3 was offensively bad. The remake just had nothing of it's own to bring to the table. There really wasn't any new interesting satire (in fact it wasn't biting enough in it's retread), there was no violence, or any other new ideas. The only memorable thing that stuck with me was Murphy hanging there outside of the RoboCop suit. It's a serviceable film but if you can chose you should watch the original.
Yeah, a couple of the bad guy motivations really made no sense.
I'm probably going to do a LTTP about it later so I'll save more of my thoughts for that. But you're pretty on point here. The RoboCop reboot doesn't do anything bad but it doesn't do anything good. At worst it strips out a lot of the charm and appeal of the original and doesn't replace it with anything substantial at all. Sam Jackson's Novak character was a pretty good satirical character at the start but about midway through the movie he stops being a good satire of modern news and becomes a supervillain mouthpiece, which ruins it.
And yeah, RoboCop 3 is offensively bad to the point where I'm stunned the franchise limped on after that.
I like that the main fight between Beerus and everyone starts because Majin Buu refuses to give him pudding.
Only way to get back at WWE is to not watch their product.
Their attendances, buyrates (not that they matter now), ratings, etc, have been dropping year over year, so that argument doesn't hold much water.

Yeah, I could see Yoshiko/Act being a work that went way way waaaay too far because Yoshiko is a jackass

Because of the way ratings work, this isn't even a good way to do it. If you aren't a Nielsen family, what you watch is irrelevant.

But hey keep talking about WWE and how much you hate it, because people will get curious.
Honestly if you want to stick it to WWE, don't pay, don't watch, don't talk about their product. Completely ignore it.
But nobody wants to go that far. They'll hatewatch - wwe still wins. They'll only support the WWE wrestlers they like - WWE still wins. They'll "only watch NXT" - WWE wins again.
Bottom line is not very many people are willing to cut WWE -entirely- out of their lives, and WWE wins.
Personally I really like WWE's product right now. I have no qualms about being a subscriber because it's worth watching for many different reasons, for me. YMMV though, and that's fine.

That always holds true, but with the advent of the WWE Network, there's a new means of boycotting that would show up in their numbers.
Don't subscribe to the Network.
ROH acted quickly. Good on them. Hope we see Joe wrestle for them.
Doesn't matter. Vince doesn't have competition, so he'll coast. Hasn't mattered since WCW folded. Don't like something? Oh well, we'll still have enough business to keep afloat and not be worth taking a risk on anything.
some awesome shots
