I remember there being some talk last year of trying to watch 1,000 matches in a year, anyone still doing that? I've been keeping track of the matches I've watched so far here;

Also, this is The Zandig's year. As is every year. All praise Zandig!

Already at 81? You have this in the bag. Bookmarked because I love the content.

 

[Kaiterra]

Yes, instead we got Big Show ruining Cody Rhodes. Motherfuckers.

What a let down, I was actually looking forward to the Shaq match too.

Wolverine looks more like Beast than Wolverine

I was just reading a book the other day where Wolverine painted himself blue to impersonate Beast heh

 

[rrc1594]

Even tho I'm not a fan of Face HHH, he was pretty over.

Show gets a lot of shit but putting him up against celebrities is always cool. Simply because of his size and he is able to protect them.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Watching some of last night's NXT that I missed, Viktor really is looking MARKEDLY improved.

 

[Barrage]

Guys give me the absolute best top to bottom PPV from WWE circa 1996-1999

I want to watch it tonight.

Canadian Stampede 1997.

Followed by Summerslam 1998.

 

[Serpens007]

So is WWE releasing Daniel Bryan or will they keep him? What is GAF prediction on the subject?

Keep, 0 reason to believe that rumor

 

[FallingEdge]

Avatar rumble.

Jerry Flynn will be my entrant.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

If I see the phrase "gimmick poster" used again, there will be no Avatar Rumble. Let's fix this place.

 

[Serpens007]

Speaking of the Avatar Rumble, since we're still in Star Wars season, can I enter as the Shockmaster?

 

[Angry Grimace]

no you have to be tugboat

 

[Kaladin]

 

[FlammableD]

Frustratingly, search seems to be broken on 2K16, so I can't search for entrants.

Do we know game/platform choice?

 

[Heel]

I don't think the threat of potential action against the community will deter them, Sunflower. The NeoGAF moderators have tried that about 5 times now, and here we are.

 

[Gurrry]

So i heard a spoiler for smackdown..

Spoiler

that kalisto loses his belt already to alberto del rio. why the fuck would you even let him win if youre just gonna redact it the very next night. stupid ass booking.

stupid!

Also - I watched NXT today, id actually love to see a asuka vs eva marie match... i know.. eva sucks. But thats what makes it good. We all want to see eva get her ass whipped. Its a win win.. as long as she dosent actually beat asuka.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

If we make it to Rumble Season, and do the Avatar Rumble, it'll be on 2k15 for PC. Since we can actually have some fuckin' entrance music.

Well you know what they say.

 

[rrc1594]

Is there a reason Orton won at WM24? I mean I know the most over person doesn't always win, but man HHH seem like he was way over.

Everyone knows about the spoiler already. It's very stupid.

If that match is just Asuka stiff kicking the shit out of Eva and winning I am game. But I also need the Total Divas or Prooving Groung episode in which Eva cries about it.

 

[Fox318]

Make sure you use the modded shoot mode where its real and not fake

 

[Deleted member 47027]

I'll go searching for a deal.

you don't need to. virtually everyone is made. 0 worries.

 

[rrc1594]

Is someone calling someone a "gimmick poster" just aways of saying your opinion sucks?

If so that's just plain corny

 

[Menome]

If we get custom themes, I want mine to be Duke's Travels by Genesis and Sandow doesn't come out until the full eight and a half minutes are over.

 

[Fox318]

There are 5 types of posters

The shooters
The Workers
The Marks
The Smarks
and Frecklestein

It is. It's a dismissal of someone's opinion in a shitty manner when you could just use New York jiffs instead, like this

Really though wrestling has some of the best dismissive gifs in the world. So use them.

 

[Plywood]

I'm Frecklestein.

 

[rrc1594]

I agree If your going shit on my opinion at least entertain me with a Gif

I'm Smark

 

[Menome]

It seems it went from semi-serious accusation to an in-joke in arguments, that still got taken seriously. I don't think anyone using it these days actually thinks the other person is genuinely gimmick-posting.

[Seraphis Cain]

Gimmick poster is supposed to mean "pretending to be a wrestler and cutting promos and shit on a goddamn internet forum".

Over time, it's somehow drifted into meaning "posting opinions I don't like".

 

[UberTag]

I'm Frecklestein.

No no... I'm Spartacus Frecklestein.

 

[Plywood]

In a world where everyone is working their shoots, you've got to shoot to work and that's new kayfabe for you.

 

[Frecklestein]

I'm Frecklestein.

Not even I saw this coming

I actually think the people mostly accused of gimmick posting by your first definition are the ones responsible for saying people are shitting on their opinions.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Hunter being in the match was random. It should've just been Orton v. Cena. Many felt like it should've been Hunter v. Flair instead with their history.

WM 25 is a different story.

You might not be wrong.

 

[DMczaf]

You wanna know who really is Freckle?

That does make more sense

5 STAR UPDATE

JoMo pinned Carlito after the latter accidentally spat apple in the ref's eyes and the former used a low blow. So so main event.

...I thought I was doing well because I had seen almost 20 matches so far this year.

JEEZUS.

I see that Sunny got his BOLA temperature question answered by Meltzer.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Speaking of our other Lord and Savior, Zandig, has he ever had any other gimmicks?

Maybe his odds need to be increased.

 

[Bluekaveli]

That does make more sense

I don't remember much from 24 other than the whole Taker and Edge feud. I kinda remember how the HBK Fleihr thing started. The rest of it, I don't remember how it all came to be.

 

[Xater]

Man I don't know if I should go to 16 Carat Gold this year. Not sure if the show is worth the premium price this year, because the guests seem underwhelming. Zach Sabre Jr. Is great, but I don't even know who the fuck Mike Bailey or Shane Strickland are.

Isn't it always good, though?

I think a mark.

Shane Strickland is a flippy CZW guy. You might know him as Kill Shot on Lucha Underground.

 

[imBask]

of course you are, RomanFan69


what a mark

 

[Xater]

It is but it does cost more than their usual shows and I was always alright with it because there was some serious cool talent coming over. So far it seems underwhelming in that regard.

Edit: Just noticed only standing tickets are still available which makes it even less appealing. These are long shows...
