What the fuck did they need Nash for? They had Hiroshi Hase and his sexy moustache.

Shocking fact of the day.
WCW was founded on October 11th, 1988 and was bought out on March 26th, 2001. It lasted twelve and a half years.
NWA TNA was founded on May 10th, 2002. It's 2014. For TNA to last longer than WCW it only needs to make it a few months into 2015.

Bret's a mong as well, doesn't even know what his best match is (vs Bulldog, Summerslam '92), lol. I'm pretty sure any shootfight Nash entered would end with him on the floor clutching his knees in agony. Hashimoto's son is only 21 and still in the young lion phase of his career. If he sticks it out and ZERO1 don't drop the ball, he could be a real big deal in Japanese wrestling.
Big E should be watching old Steiner Bros matches to learn new moves. Like he should do Rick's catch powerslam thing.
Only a Brit would think anyone's best match involved Davey Boy.
Now hit. My music.

What about Davey's best match?
Some Owen match where he was at ringside.
SummerSlam 1992 with Bret "The Hitman" Hart.
Good pick!

Nash beat up more ring-invading fans than any japanese.
USA > Japan > whatever hell hole Bootaaay lives in

The thing I find most dubious about Nash's claim to only be in it for the money and not being a mark himself is that he went out of his way to never, ever, ever lose or put anyone over.
Now you might say well Man God, he's just taking inspiration from some decently smart business minds like Hulk Hogan and Roddy Piper, and I can agree on this.
When it doesn't make sense is during his IMPACT run though when he was mid card for the vast majority of it. Still called out sick anytime he needed to do a job.

Nash put over Shelley completely without having a single match.
Plus, it's pretty obvious Nash hated TNA and just had a few of the young guys he liked enough to give the rub.

no one worth putting over.

Goldberg ?

i think it was literally impossible to get Goldberg even more over than he was.
Shouldn't have tried to beat up a limo.
He jobbed to Goldberg a few times after Starrcade.

there wasn't much to win from beating Nash in WCW, the guy who could put you over in any meaningful way was Hogan.
Jake predicted The Assassination of the DDT by the Imbecile John Cena

Once Cena no sold DDT on concrete, the move officially died.

there's an alternate reality where a healthy Magnum TA put WWF out of business, Sting is the COO of WCW, HHH and Undertaker job in comedy matches and DDP is a 12 time champ.
And Macho Man has a reality show instead of Hogan?

Jim Ross is rumored to be signing with Fox Sports . Would be a welcome addition to UFC broadcast.

Since we're talking about Jake...
Earthquake killing Damien goes down, to me, as the most I've ever been worked up by an angle in wrestling history. Number 2 is Elizabeth getting slapped. So Jake is involved in the first and second most emotional moments in wrestling history to me.
With Elizabeth, it's long-term booking. It's that everyone loved Elizabeth and stuff like that didn't happen. With Damien's death? It was ALL Jake's reaction. No offense to Tenta, but it was all Jake that carried that angle. It was even cartoon-y how Damien 'died', but there wasn't nothing funny at the time. It was dark. It was unsettling. It was so much more evil than I bet it was intended just based on how Jake sold it.

Watched a couple of those Volk Han matches - I think I preferred the match with Nagai, although the Yamamoto one was great as well. Volk's ridiculously good at takedowns and grabbing a hold out of nowhere, some of his transitions were awesome, like when he floated over Yamamoto's back, stood on the side of his knee and wrenched the other leg up into a standing ankle lock. Also, that lucha-style side-headlock takedown that's just a feint to grab the leg is freaking sweet. I also really enjoyed the weird double-leg crab-esque position he got himself in early on against Nagai. The finish to that match was great, loved Nagai's comeback with the single leg crab, then Volk just finished it with that brutal arm lock. Fun stuff. Gonna watch the Tamura match later
Volk being awesome;
BIG axe kick from Nagai;
