it's 4th of July in my asshole
I just remembered that Uso in Swahili means face. Uso's face fo life.
I just finished Wrestling Kingdom 9 and it is the first time that I watch something related to NJPW.
I really liked but the greatest thing to someone who doesn't know shit about them is when you see it for the first time you can actually feel the importance of the champions.
Man, in the two last matches the champions seem like a final bosses (and it should be like that) and even that I don't understand Japanese it feels important, great, awesome to be champion and a #1 challenger.

I know it may be a stretch to ask, but... Is anyone else actually excited for the Rumble? I may be easily impressed, but it's always my favourite PPV.

Enjoyed RAW
Interesting what they did with the ending
What's everyone saying how the title match will end at RR?
Though i skipped Usos and diva matches

Making Seth look like an actual threat in the match.

I'm more really nervous about it than excited, it'll be a stressful event for sure
Who are we expecting to return this time?

Absolutely. There are only two possible winners. One equals a fucking disaster. The other one was a pipe dream three weeks ago.

Honestly, that almost made me buy it. That and the Jig n Tonic/MK Ultra getting added so I could I give it to Corey Graves. Fuck it, I'm going deal hunting. I'm sorry Bobo.
Brian Cage fucking sucks.
Well that's not fair. I find him entirely uninteresting is more accurate.
So it's a shittier version of the London Riots' finisher? https://twitter.com/senorlariato/status/511230275503026176
As someone who owns the fucking deluxe version of the game and has $4 in their US PSN account, I'm finding it hard to resist, even though I know I'll never use them...

Last hour of Raw was actually pretty good.
The Brock/Rollins promo was great and really set Rollins up as the top heel of the company, dude did NOT back down from Lesnar which was awesome to see. Rollins has been booked pretty well and has done a fantastic job with the material given. I can totally see and accept him being champ.
The final Ambrose scene with the therapist was good, he really nailed it despite the last few sentences reeking of Vince's shit.
Lana is dynamite on the mic, "What is it you stupid American's say?", awesome delivery. The USA plants were so awful it was hilarious lol. Ambrose & Rusev are going to do damn damn damn good business together, already selling like champs! Real good impact on their hits too, looks hard. Rusev looked so damn happy to win
Seth selling soreness walking to the contract signing while grinning like a cheshire cat at the same time was great to see, true professional who cares about his craft! Oddly enough Cena hustled to the ring looking no worse for wear after that match, oddly enough he got beat up by 14 men but looks a million dollars! Fuck Rollins making Cena look had like that, how dare he!
Rollins was fucking great on the mic with Heyman during the contract signing, put him on blast over the triple threat thing lol. Rollins left Cena in his dust during that promo, I'd expect that would have put him over big time backstage. Dude was electric.
Don't bottle it up man, I used to do that and I've felt a lot better since I've been voicing my thoughts more. That would be a great thing to talk about with someone, might have some tips on how to slowly open that up a bit more.

Talking about it is a hugely positive first step, a lot of people can't do this. Definitely take the step to see someone about it, at worst you'll think they're shit at their job and you can easily move onto another doctor since there are tons out there, you'll eventually find one that you can work with.

Well it is customary to introduce yourself with a fave five, so you could do fave five Paige gifs.

I've got a Doctors appointment tomorrow, so hopefully that starts the ball rolling. Also, a member of the WrasselGAF Community reached out via PMs last night. Best community. Thanks to you all.
That's what happens when you book your champions as amazing athletes and competitors, and not just sports entertainers. Vince lost the plot a while ago when it comes to this. Don't get me wrong, Nakamura and Tanahashi are totally performers as much as they are wrestlers, but they can go pretty damn hard in the ring and are booked s athletes.

Good luck sir, rooting for you.

Only if you want it to last less than 5 minutes! They could put on a great show for everyone, they match up really well.
Thanks for the link Vince, really well put together affair. Production values are quite impressive considering it was 1982, impressed with the sound quality/camerawork.
Von Erich looks great, I'll have to track down some more of his matches!
Hall was super behind DDP too so I'd expect he still would have gotten there one way or another. DDP seemed to have a ton of friends at WCW, understandable I guess.

Good luck Luchadude, getting help is the first step, but it's also often the hardest. Hope it goes well for you, mate.
Hah, that MetsFan goober was told to expect "a very high profile news worthy show". Dude's been exposed numerous times over, yet wreddit seem to hang on his every word.

I'm slowly working my way towards that show. WCCW has been a great watch so far, even though the matches are slower paced and pretty tame, the story telling and commentary have my total attention.
The interviews with Flair and Von Erich are great too. WCCW starts on Episode 42 or something of their run, but by the end of that episode you know the ins and outs of what's happening and why. So you know Flair might have paid The Great Kabuki to break Von Erich's knee, and you get the feeling that Flair is ducking Von Erich despite Flair playing it all cool and acting like he's shit hot.
The best part is this all feels like Broadway Theatre compared to modern wrestling as it's not dumb down. They don't ham it up and outright tell you YES RIC FLAIR DID DO THIS.

Thanks everyone, I really mean my thanks with the support over the last few weeks. It was the push I needed to sort stuff out.

People still listen to his bullshit after the whole 'The roster is stepping it up for TLC' thing?
To be fair, Ziggler and Harper had a memorable if not reckless ladder match, and the ME was good too...until it got totally nullified about a month later.

So it's one step closer to being total elimination. Bummer. I kinda liked the original version. Looked like it made more sense for a pair of meatheads.

I was the only one, maybe another, but nobody that posts a lot
It's a lonely life.That crowd really helps, too. Doing the slow burn and building up to it is the best way to do it. Really some of the best stuff.
I honestly feel Kerry was the best of all of those brothers. If you're interested in the tragic tale of the family, there's a WWE documentary about WCCW that digs in since the Von Erichs basically were wrestling in that area and that period. The other stuff about the promotion is good as well, and worth seeing.
Damn right.
I think he has potential, a lot of it. And I like the monkey king schtick. Also...

I like the monkey king stuff, I just wish YOSHI-HASHI would get in a bit better shape - also, his war crate is kinda shitty. I like the flipping blockbuster, though. And his left armed lariat is ok. He did well with Okada in the tag league, interested to see if he can progress any further this year.

I'd like to see more tumble-based moves. More rolls. And do a monkey flip from the top turnbuckle, because you can't make a monkey flip dope and that's really the only way.
He does need to diet and lift more, though.
I would argue that is his shittiest move. It has no impact and he looks like he's taking far more of the brunt of the move every time. I think it is the way that he doesn't even hold on while doing it. He does the flip, barely grabs the guy, and keeps going. It's basically the same idea as the Zig Zag.
Apparently this is what a $4M+ Kickstarter gets you:
WWE was adopted by carnies. Japan was born in that shit.
Holy fuck lol.
I'm glad I didn't back that Kickstarter. I'm a big Mega Man game but Inafune was always carny as fuck and kind of quietly the guy who pushed Capcom into the gutter.

Mighty No 9 looks like absolute trash. Looks like a low-rent knockoff of a megaman game, which I guess is what it is.
