So not worth it
What would have Punk looked like in Immortals?

stro hating HOH is both fitting and fucking hilarious

Have you worked for them? Can you explain why the screen would randomly warp and turn green when they are working with digital cameras? Can you explain why a dude with as much or more experience on the production side of things than wrestling can put on a show with so many production gaffes? Can you explain how depressing it must be to go from working for Vince at WM to Dreamer at the ECW Arena?

I really like Daniel Bryan's hair now. Makes him look like Jesus Christ. Though just in the face. Jesus was fucking ripped, he didn't have the body of a doughy vegan.

The Catholic Jesus I grew up with was a sad sack of skin and bones hanging on a cross for my sins Gonzalez.

I feel a distinct sense of dread right now, like the world is about to end.

Not sure what do with myself right now, I feel like I should call my mom and tell her I love her.

Quoting this for the Wrasslin thread as I think a lot of y'all need to watch this match, because it was goddamned excellent. Masa Saito is so dope.

Watched Masa Saito vs Larry Zbyszko from a show in Feb of 1990 for the 1000/1 Project - I've always really liked Saito, because he's so big and looks...well, blustery. I've always been a fan of Larry as well so I thought this might be a good match to watch. This was apparently for the AWA World Heavyweight Championship that Zbyszko had at the time.

It's right up my alley. It definitely feels like some AWA shit. A lot of grappling, slow grappling and submission attempts which was really both of their forte, and they do make it look good. Some real quick transitions and I really enjoy it, but I realize this style isn't for that many others, so be warned. Saito locks in what looks like a kneeling figure four, and eventually Zbyszko counters with something I couldn't put my finger on (almost Brock Lock-esque) before Saito starts working on Larry's legs in earnest. Very few strikes until the end. Hot finish, however, once Saito starts exploiting Zbyszko's worked over legs. Love hearing the crowd get hot for Saito's suplexes, and it erupts when Saito hulks up against's Zbyszko's strikes.

Thumbs up despite the slow start. Really enjoyed this.

Don't read this spoiler until you finish the match

Saito wins and the place goes fucking NUTS. I love it.

Friends.....there is good wrestling. It is from a small building in Florida and features a great roster of established and rising stars who are making an impact. Embrace the future, jump on the NXT hype train.

He somehow finds a way into the shot all the time. He's like the Where's Waldo of wrestling.

I've been on the NXT hype train ever since Arrival and haven't looked back.

I believe one of my first comments on NXT after Arrival was "holy shit is NXT always that good?"

Thank you for making us aware of this small underground brand of wrestling. May I ask how you found something so incredibly small and hidden?


Did they try a gym?

I'm glad I didn't read those NXT spoilers.

Also add me to the list who would say Rick Rude had one of the best physiques in wrestling ever.

Once you realise NXT is HHH signing loads of international stars and fantasy booking them with no Vince interference it all makes sense.

I think we all know who is gonna win the rumble.

That cat is adorable

One thing I kind of worry about is what NXT will do after most of its big names are called up to the main roster. Are they going to run out of indie stars to sign?

They seem to have a good training staff on hand, because their non indie names aren't that bad either.
