Watching WK11.

Bucks vs Vice sucked. It was just moves and flying about for shit sake. It was awful. Instantly forgettable junk.

It really wasn't. All year RPG Vice had been losing because of Rocky and it almost broke up the group. This match was about him having to stand alone and get the win with Baretta laid out. Not a great match or anything but it told a clear story, and yes there were moves around it.

 

[Zach]

You suck

You do it to yourself, Pikma. And that's what really hurts.

 

[Brian_FETO]

The Bucks banging out the T2 drums on the canvas to hype up Kenny's dive to the outside, goddamn

10/10 ring psychology

 

[Raw64life]

I'm sure anyone here who isn't watching NJPW already probably isn't ever gonna watch it for whatever reason but it bears repeating for the Nth time. Boy are you missing out. Main event went over 45 minutes and was never boring. What a fucking wrestling show.

That's how I feel. I was jumping up to the close calls at the end. That missile dropkick to the back of the head was fucking insane. I then thought Kenny died when he was launched over the top through the table.

I thought he might've Rick Ruded himself for a second. He came pretty close.

 

[Zach]

I'd subscribe and watch if it was exactly as convenient for me as the WWE Network, Raw64life.

Agreed completely. The sympathies for WWE's audience just went down even further than a lifetime of both Mania 32s and whatever the fuck that Raw post-show debate was could ever achieve

 

[HashtagLapsed]

The ME really, really didnt feel like it went for 46 minutes.

Thats like a third of the time your average Raw.

It's also more wrestling than you get on Raw

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Anyone have Progress promo codes? I thought I recall someone saying there was the option to get a free month

Pretty much this. If they truly embraced their international audience and gave us an English portal without having to use translators I would give it a shot.

On a similar note, I'm finally giving Progress Wrestling a shot. I now have a Roku where I can watch it on TV instead of just a PC.

 

[Zach]

Oh, so the debate thing turned out to be trash?

 

[Lightning Count]

WK11 had more wrestling than a full week worth of WWE televised programming.

Well you're just full of excuses, aren't you?!

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Oh, so the debate thing turned out to be trash?

It was entirely what you'd expect a WWE version of First Take, with questions about what the fans think and want, to be. People were either pissed or laughing watching

 

[Sephzilla]

Pikma got fucking buried in the WK11 thread

 

[Future Foundation]

Starting to sound like CENA with all these excuses.

You mean Bring it to The Table? I thought you were talking about Raw Talk. That looked like someone wanted a wrestling version of Princess (which could be fine, but that really wasn't).

 

[Future Foundation]

Whoops, double post.

 

[Hasney]

Daniel "He might be bigger than we think he is" Bryan is the best

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

You tell him, Future Foundation.

 

[Pikma]

Pikma got fucking buried in the WK11 thread

You suck too

 

[HashtagLapsed]

Oh, so the debate thing turned out to be trash?

Heyman came across like a fuckhead in the 'should Raw be 2 hours' bit. Despite the third hour generally tanking and ratings going down the drain, everyone still shilled the three hour program and anyone who disagreed was a stupid mark who should try and run their own promotion.

Although, it was proabably a work to piss people off to get them to talk about it and keep watching/hate watching.

I dunno. After tonight I feel like it will be really hard to get into WWE programming for a while. Similar to after last years G1.

Between NJPW, Stardom, DDT Universe and Progress I really dont need WWE, but I am an idiot and probably wont cancel my sub.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Pikma got fucking buried in the WK11 thread

What happened?

I think SomewhatGroovy not being around has made Pikma lose his heat.

 

[miserable]

The code I had has expired unfortunately.

However, Smash's On Demand has 9 PROGRESS shows on with a 2 week free trial, if you want a taste. They're 2 shows behind atm.

[Ithil]

Glad I popped in to see people clowning Pikma.

Looking like that Kojima gif in there

 

[Lightning Count]

Now watching - Jun Akiyama vs Kenta Kobashi - AJPW 17/9/1992

Loving this Kobashi Iron Man DVD boxset especially his early 90s bouts with Stan Hansen.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

RIP Pikma

 

[Pikma]

Looking like that Kojima gif in there

I'm obviously the face

 

[Caderfix]

I'm disappointed with the result of Okada vs Omega.

 

[Bluekaveli]

I didn't see this but apparently the judge preceding over the Snuka case has dropped all charges.

All charges were dropped against WWE Hall of Famer Jimmy Snuka today at an unscheduled hearing in Allentown, PA by Judge Kelly L. Banach, according to WFMZ-TV. The judge ruled that Snuka’s mental health will not improve enough to stand trial.

Snuka was facing third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter charges in the 1983 death of his then-girlfriend Nancy Argentino at a motel in Whitehall Township, PA. Snuka’s lawyers have argued that he has dementia and is not fit to stand trial. Both the prosecution and the defense asked the judge to drop the case back in August if she believed Snuka’s health would not improve. The judge needed more time to evaluate Snuka’s condition and made her ruling today.

I found one to get the first month for 99, thanks though!

 

[cordy]

Ambrose has a pic for his haters who think he shouldn't be holding the midcard title and main eventing as we know he will.

 

[Zach]

I like when there's a Triple H match and I get to fast-forward for like three minutes because his entrance is so slow and boring.

 

[DMczaf]

I'm hearing word that DaMeltz ran out of stars last night 😔

 

[imBask]

*skips HHH stuff*
"HHH sucks!"

do you also read movie reviews and then shit on it without watching it?

 

[Beefy]

So what wrestlers should I look out for when I watch WK11 later?

 

[Pikma]

I'm hearing word that DaMeltz ran out of stars last night 😔

He was out of stars by the 4th match because he gave them all to the Bucks spotfest.

 

[Zach]

Yeah, I need to watch Triple H's same exact entrance 5000 times to be able to judge him as a wrestler.

 

[cordy]

How did Cody do? You can spoil it if you want but I'm interested.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

But you don't get the feel of Triple H.

 

[imBask]

Yeah, I need to watch Triple H's same exact entrance 5000 times to be able to judge him as a wrestler.

what if that entrance was special? how would you know?

you're letting me down Zach

 

[Sweeney Tom]

lol if you watch WWE entrances that aren't Batista's or Edge's

The most special entrances

 

[Sephzilla]

*skips HHH stuff*

If a movie is shit I usually don't finish the movie and do something better. Just like a HHH match.

[Zach]

I started fast-forwarding his entrances when they became tedious and annoying, so if anything it helps his standing I'd say.

 

[Caderfix]

So what wrestlers should I look out for when I watch WK11 later?

Omega, Okada, Naito and Tanahashi ALWAYS deliver, but, honestly, everyone involved in the event. Im new to NJPW, but the 4 WKs I watched were great from second one all the way to the end.

 

[Roland_Gunner]

How did Cody do? You can spoil it if you want but I'm interested.

Its was fine but, at best, the 5th best match on the show. He did some nice work on Juice's leg and was able to get some response from the crowd. They were more into it than Cole and O'Reilly that's for sure.

So what wrestlers should I look out for when I watch WK11 later?

If you have time watch the entire show. Otherwise skip to the last four matches starting with Kushida / Hiromu. They're all excellent.

 

[Hasney]

Undertakers entrance is the one I skip the most. Unless it's the NBC version of Wrestlemania 27

[Pikma]

I fast forward every time I see Imbask posts come up

 

[Sephzilla]

Undertaker entrances that aren't Wrestlemania entrances I skip (or if its live I go use the bathroom or get a beer)

 

[imBask]

I fast forward every time I see Imbask posts come up

i'll fast forward a chair on your skull ya punk
