I'm putting this out there. Winner of the GAF Rumble will receive one copy of DDT4 if theyre in the states or an iPPV. DDt4 was batshit insane

 

[Ithil]

Let's be honest about Nakamura - fucker is ugly. He can't help it. He's an ugly dude.

But his PRESENCE, the way he moves, the way he talks, the way he acts...proof positive you don't have to be good looking to be absolutely incredible.

I'm sure Soul knows where I'm coming from. When Kane was unmasked many people were shocked how ugly he was. Poor feller.

You get that a lot in wrestling, Hell, Cena's got lots of female fans despite looking like an Easter Island statue.

He has a hell of a physique.

Do not underestimate the mind of Vincent K McMahon.

Vince will change his mind on who he wants to win the Rumble a half-dozen times between now and Sunday.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

I shall give the winner of the GAF Rumble a Steam Game.

 

[FallingEdge]

I will give the winner of the GAF Rumble a hand drawn certificate.

 

[Joe Prodigy]

I'm guessing that Cena will win the rumble

Spoiler

ugh

and Punk will retain his title but probably lose it at EC to the Rock.

My Fantasy booking would be for Punk to retain the next two PPVs and then challenge the Undertaker at Wrestlemania. That'd be like, a 500 day streak vs 20-0? Something close to that. Who wouldn't want to see that?

 

[strobogo]

Nak has more swag than anyone in pro wrestling. By far. I'm not even into puro anymore, but Nak's gimmick of eccentric coke head with a heart of SWAG is the best.

What? CM Punk is really looking to defend against The Rock twice back to back? I haven't finished RAW yet and haven't read the past few pages. lol.

You got the wrong Mr., mister.

 

[funkystudent]

have people already entered the gaf rumble or is that still waiting to happen.

I havent entered. I dont want to miss my shot at greatness!

 

[tm24]

You got the wrong Mr., mister.

Hah! GAF's multi quote doesnt go away if you leave!

Also, speaking of Miz's terrible figure four, didn't Disco Inferno have a submission move that he didnt know how to apply either?

[Pristine_Condition]

Excellent ACW review Pristine, sounds like another great show and, even if the crowd weren't too hot on it because of the previous swerve, I think that sounds like a good main event angle on paper. Definitely going to pick up the MP4 of this when SMV release it, as I'm really interested in seeing Summers vs Lynn. Also, I'm really warming to Davy Vega the more ACW & AIW shows I see.

Thanks! It was a helluva show overall despite that one bump in the road.

The show was saved after Fitchett came out. Anarchy LOVES some "Flippy Shit" (the name of his old tag-team in ACW.) Palmer v. ACH was an epic battle, and so was Summers v. Lynn. And of course seeing Jessica win the Joshi belt. It's well worth picking up when it comes out. Really, the electric excitement BEFORE the Palmer v. ACH match alone was worth the price of admission. It definitely had that "fight night" atmosphere that people talk about, and the place was ready to pop before the guys even locked up. Maybe not THE "must see" show for ACW noobs this year as it's billed as (just because of that one booking foible) but certainly worth the SMV download price. After all, you can fast-forward through the bad promo! LOL. I'd say no wrestling fan would really be anything but pleased buying any of the last three shows whenever they come out.

Turns out Carson was bleeding from the eye and had a ruptured eardrum after his match with Bolt Brady, but will be OK. Surprised that he even went out there again to do the ill-fated beatdown of Darrin Childs, considering the condition he was in.

In other ACW and American Joshi/Independent Women's Wrestling news: I noticed that "The Goddess" Athena is listed in the voting for TNA's "Gut Check" poll. She's listed in Bracket 13 as "Adrienne Reese." Best of luck to her.

This won't be anything new to you, Boots, but for folks who may not know, Athena is one of the best, most athletic, hardest-hitting women in the entire world, IMO, and "The O-Face" (A Twisting "Diamond Dust"-style stunner caught in mid-air from a top rope dive) is easily one of the best finishers going today.

Athena's O-Face Finisher (YouTube)

On another note, just got PCSX2 up and running with Fire Pro Returns and the Puro Elitist 2012 save! I forgot how fun Fire Pro is, and how remarkably entertaining the matches can be - just wrestled Pat O'Connor as Zack Sabre Jr, and the story of the match was Pat trying to hit the O'Connor roll, to which Zack always had a counter. Zack tried using his speed and striking ability to put Pat away early, but O'Connor kept stunning him with a big belly to belly out of nowhere. Every time Pat went for a waist lock, Zack countered into a kimura and almost made O'Connor tap, but in the end he rolled through the kimura into a cradle pin, Zack kicked out at 2.9, O'Connor hit the ropes but held on, Zack missed a dropkick, ate a deadlift German suplex and finally got hit with the O'Connor roll for the 3-count. Man, I love this game.

Fire Pro is still THE game, IMO. Can't wait for a more stable version of PCSX2 for Mac OSX Lion/Mountain Lion so I can get on this. It's not terrible right now, but I'm loathe to run unstable software on any of my machines right now, since they are all "work" machines.

...

I've always thought Nak was a pretty cool-looking guy. But what do I know?

...

Thanks for the link to the 2012​ DKP​ PWP​ Annual. Awesome stuff for reading on the can.

 

[bigosc2k]

The one time I did gaf rumble I got stuck Jerry Lawler which was lame.

 

[TOM f'N CRUISE]

so when is the Rumble and when do we get our number??

 

[BreakyBoy]

Alright WrassleGAF. I took some time off from watching far too much wrestling (WWE and otherwise), and now I'm needing to catch up. I trailed off just after RAW 1000, so around SummerSlam time. I plan on reading up/watching what I can of the PPVs.

For those of you that have been watching this whole time, is there any great match* from the back half of 2012 (WWE or otherwise) that I should go out of my way to find a way to watch?

Edit: *or hell, even a promo or particular character/storyline run

 

[Keyser Soze]

I see SilverVision seem to be clearing stock

 

[Mr. Luchador]

I see SilverVision seem to be clearing stock

Some great offers there, I'd be tempted if I wasn't trying to clear out my old DVDs.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Someone needs to make some kind of database as to what DVDs have "WWF" censored and which ones don't. I never watched any of their reproduced old stuff because of all the censoring.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

Your calling has come. Go. BE THE HERO!

 

[Mr. Sam]

I see SilverVision seem to be clearing stock

I bought Punk's Blu-ray at £22.99 two weeks ago. It's already sold out, which is some comfort.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

WHAT WE ALL WAITING FOR?!

Only match that comes to mind is The Shield vs Ryback/Hell No

and no, theres no promos, characters or storylines ever worth following in modern wwe.

I guess if you hate Dolph Ziggler you could catch up on his feud against Super Cena and watch him be buried 12ft

I think your right, I dropped them. I thought Rock/Cena had more content than what is on he discs. The seems a rubbish release tbh.

Surprising that a Ryback match of any kind would be a highlight, but I spoiled myself and looked up what The Shield are. Ambrose and Rollins? I can believe that.

As for the rest, that's what I figured. Not what I was hoping, but what I assumed.

I did really enjoy watching Ziggler in and out of the ring too. And yet, still not surprised.

In any case, oh well, thanks.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

I think your right, I dropped them. I thought Rock/Cena had more content than what is on he discs. The seems a rubbish release tbh.

If it's the one I'm thinking of they ran it like night and day on Sky Sports before and after the Wrestlemania match. It was OK, but I wouldn't pay for it.

The Bret Hart & Shawn Michaels thing is OK, but seemed awkward. They're sitting down talking to Jim Ross who guides them through from the late 80s to the the screwjob, but things move so fast and nothing's really discussed. It's like they're trying to out do each other putting each other over.

I will second the Ryback/Team Hell No vs. The Shield TLC match...but also add on a couple of suggestions:

Cesaro's matches with Brodus Clay, Great Khali, and Kofi Kingston
D-Bry vs. Tyson Kidd on Saturday Morning Slam
Ricardo's match with The Big Show (especially the setup and backstage stuff, it's crucial)

AVOID ANYTHING JOHN CENA...he's been trolling for months now.

Greatest Rivalries: Shawn Michaels vs. Bret Hart Blu-ray (2 Discs) is pretty great if you haven't seen the interview, but all of the best matches on it are collected elsewhere.

Woah, R-Truth was in the 2001 Royal Rumble.

 

[Anth0ny]

"John Cena seems like a fucked up human being"

-Wai Ting

Woah, R-Truth was in the 2001 Royal Rumble.

He teamed with Road Dogg Jesse James in late 2000/early 2001. greatest gimmick in the history of our sport.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

I think I completely missed K-Kwik during 2000/2001 rewatch. :\ Was he only on Heat?

 

[Linkified]

I see SilverVision seem to be clearing stock

Well they lost their distribution deal in Europe and can't produce WWE product anymore

 

[Striker]

I think I completely missed K-Kwik during 2000/2001 rewatch. :\ Was he only on Heat?

No, they were made fun of by E&C.

 

[mechashiva]

I will spend the weekend harassing JoMo

You going?

 

[FallingEdge]

With Generico being picked up by the WWE, I'm wondering who the next big indy guy is on the list. I think the closest would be Steen but after that? Adam Cole?

edit: I'd have to throw Michael Elgin on there as he is starting to become a monster.
