Today (according to Independence Day's Will Smith) is a very special day... it's none other than Brad Shoemaker's birthday!

Let's wish him well with pictures of the best anime cakes we can find.

Things are so bad in wrestling right now, I have stopped watching regularly and starting playing DOTA and giving anime a chance with the time I gained. Tonight's PPV will be a horrible trainwreck - but seeing as I am locked into the Network for another 2 PPVs I am going to watch anyway.

I cannot see WWE turning things around until Royal Rumble 2015 at least.

Summerslam will be a mess too I fare, as WWE caters too much to celebs for that event every year.

Watch something else besides WWE. Wrestling is in a fantastic state.

Huh, Brad's birthday is almost a week before mine. Happy birthday, Brad!

This is too positive, we all know he won't see it. Quick, someone say he's bad at games three times into a mirror and summon him!

I kind of feel bad for those who are just starting to watch F1 now because it's a very faint shadow of what it used to be. F1 in the 80s through the early 2000s was truly something else.

Back in the mid-00 I was happy to look at some ROH, NOAH, and FWA, CMLL, and a few other promotions. There was a thing called The Wrestling Channel in the UK, and it aired a few of these. I then got interested enough to seek out a few more.in other ways

There is no way to get started again for me though.I don't really feel like paying exorbitant shipping fees for DVDs to be sipped here. I cannot do iPPV, as they are streamed in HQ, and do not seem to adapt for my iffy internet connection,, and (even without mentioning the legality) I don't really feel like opening The Pirate Bay to get my wrestling fix (which is IP banned in Ireland anyway).

Other than trawling through DailyMotion to watch a random PPV in a video split into 9 parts for god knows what reason, I cannot do much.

That's no good. Would you be able to download full shows? PWG is good (2011-mid 2013 was particularly great) and Highspots has full shows to buy and download.

...and I agree. WWE is in such a bad place. Epsecially after having such a great and hopeful Wrestlemania.

The Wrestling Channel was great.

But god damn they pushed Sheamus so damn much on that channel. Every other ad break must have had a promo for him.

(this was a year or two before he signed with WWE)

It's literally the same every year, guys. WWE's got some genuinely fun stuff going on most of the time but usually the main event storylines are either very bland or very exciting. It's pretty bland at the moment. Plus, WWE can't be in a bad place when they're showcasing the Big Lads Division as much as they are these days.

If I had millions of dollars to spend I'd start a company and make a wrestling themed MOBA. The theme would be the Dark Carnival (of Insane Clown Posse mythos) sucking in all the wrestlers to battle in 5v5 lane based combat. Creeps would be little snot-nosed kids shouting "Wrestling isn't even real".

It's a shame I don't live in a country that where I can create Kickstarter projects.

I SWEAR the sound effect used on this Japanese television show is from Sanrio World Smash Ball! (Or the Hello Kitty game, if you prefer.)

I've watched some other episodes where Cowboy Bebop music was playing and I think I heard the Super Mario Bros. fireball throw sound once too so it seems to mine from a lot of sources.

You sound like you have zero experience making games, so your Kickstarter would probably end up very successful. I'd back it.
