Let's start off the new year right guys! Discuss all wrestling here from AWA, NWA, WWWF, Crockett Promotions, etc.

No seriously discuss all types of wrestling here from WWE, TNA, NJPW, etc. Most importantly, have fun! Enjoy the new year guys!

The Lapsed Fan of Starrrrrrcade 1987 is up. This one is pretty momentous in the history of the event.

Do they hit on about the effects of it clashing with Survivor Series?

The Buyrate difference was something serious due to the threat Vince made.

This was the big feud before the ratings war. Ten years later you'd think that what used to be JCS was going to knock Titan off the block.

Why in the hell are so many RAWs missing from the Network?

So people like you and I can resubscribe when they get them on there lol. As a video editor, I kinda sit back and see what they change or add but they don't do much. It's not like they give the video borders, blur out, or bleep a lot so the content should be coming steady.

But at the same time, how many people do they have digitizing this stuff?

Just weird to not see ones from 2007, like the anniversary episode.

So now I'm watching Bash at the Beach 2000 and Juventud just did the people's elbow. What in the hell was going on at WCW at this point. Yeeeesh

I guess watch more New Japan events.

I am also looking forward to whatever Kayfabe Commentaries will have in 2016 including a new series called Raven's Restler Rescue. I also love their Timeline series though unfortunately the WWE 1998 will be done by Vince Russo. They chose him for Timeline WCW 2000 which admittedly was horrible but he did not stay on point at all.

I feel like they could have gotten anyone besides Russo including Al Snow who has been on there before or Billy Gunn who is also available I'm sure. Foley would have been ideal but perhaps he was out of their price range.

I'm really pleased to know that, as a junior member in WrassleGAF, my idea was chosen for the OT.

I'm reaching for the brass ring, boys!

That was the best part of the rumble match. Everything else was just disgusting especially when Bryan got fucked, I laughed but at the same time it was a bummer

Just the image of these two old wrestlers tossing the younger/popular stars like trash was incredible. You could feel the crowd just squirming in the arena as every preferable alternative to Roman was dumped out.

That whole night after Bryan got eliminated was something to watch.

You know I'm glad that R-Truth isn't feuding with or involved with new day in anyway.

It seems like anyone who's paired with him usually doesn't work out so well. Unless you're Cena or The Rock.

Ron Killings is awesome but he might be cursed lol.

This year's Rumble was very underwhelming. I can put it in the top 5 worst tbh. Usually if something is very disappointing, I'll forget it and this events was one of them. The triple threat match was the only thing that'll make you you say, "hey I want to watch royal rumble 2015 again."

And now Roman is over. Took only one year and the momentum of the entire roster sans Cena and New Day.

Let's get the new year started off right...



I really thought that London crowd added a lot of energy to the Takeover special. Thoughts?

They've got all of 1993-1999 up, which really isn't that bad either.

Last time I checked they had hole in 1998-1999 but as of right now you can watch basically all of the primetime shows from the start of Raw to the turn of the century, including the first bit of Smackdown.

I imagine it will only take them another few years to have a nearly complete catalog of those two primary shows.

That triple-threat was something special. I've rewatched that Rumble match once, and it still sucks to see the air drained out of Wells Fargo. Like no one really gives a shit about anything for a good few minutes until Roman gets in.

Well, it was more like HHH's body and Vinny Mac's jaw.

Not the entire 99'. They're missing a raw. Same with 96'. They missed The Raw Bowl lol but I think licensing purposes stand in the way.
