Freckle you're getting worse and worse. Like LITERALLY BY THE MINUTE
AJ Styles is one of the best wrestlers out there this year!

Batista is in a MARVEL movie, so he's set for cameos and shit. He's going to be in the next Bond movie, no..? Those are two huge franchises to be apart of. Big Dave is great. I sadly didn't start to like him until his last run when he was defeated by duct tape.
I just don't like Styles Clash as a finisher. Ending careers aside, it's just too much suspension of disbelief to set up for a move that has some pretty tame impact to it. He doesn't have a good look, his accent is too thick and his tattoo is too awful.
How can your movie be bad when you kill Ja Rule?

Let's be real though. Everyone wants the Fantastic Four movie to crumble.

Man, Wrestle Kangdom 9 was so good. Anyone here still on the fence? Because you shouldn't be. Spectacular show. I have very few complaints. Very happy where the Jr Tag titles went, happy where the NEVER Title went, sad for a few other things though.
Match of the night was hands down Ibushi and Nakamura. Stro told me he could see some Grumpy Old Fucker in Nak and he was right. Ibushi did a great job though, was a lot of fun to watch and he's ready for the heavyweight stuff. I just love that twink.

That movie isn't unwatchably bad or anything but it's not good considering the people involved. Like even as a dumb action movie that has Russell Crowe playing "Jack Knife" it doesn't deliver as much as it could have
They're probably the TNAtion of ComicMovieGAF so... probably not

Everything about WK9 was fantastic. Even the 3 and 4 man tag matches were fun.

Lemme put Wrong Side of Town like this
It's a bad movie

Oh cmon with that av - you couldn't get a Suzuki Pure one?
Suzuki/Sakuraba was dope too.

You should, because you're limiting your fun and enjoyment to ignore it. I can't think of any way to say it that doesn't sound dickish, but you are SERIOUSLY missing out. If you watch one NJPW show this year, WK should be the one. You should try it out. I think you'd really dig the undercard, honestly. Lots of fun.

More good wrestling never hurt anyone. If you have the time for it, go watch it.

Can we retroactively make Nak - Ibushi the 2014 match of the year then? Because the last match I liked that much was Tanahashi - Suzuki from a couple of years back.

FYI the PWG 5 DVDs for $40 sale ends tomorrow
I finally got around to placing my order (ELEVEN, BOLA, Untitled II)

I want to know if they micd Suzuki/Sakuraba to be louder or something. Because you can hear everything in that match, and it really added a special aura to it. The start when they're grappling is so awesome just because you hear them moving around, you hear hands grappling, you hear bodies moving.

Nah the match happened in 2015 so it's not eligible for last year
Would make sense. Great use of it too.

Go find any casual fan and ask which looks less stupid. Then explain that AJ is the more serious character of the combo. Even though the set up is just as dumb, the impact of the move, the pay-off for it is better on the Bucks' end.
Also, I legit laughed when they called the Indie-Taker, I've never heard it get called that before. It's so good.
You guys know what's up.

Nah, comicgaf is fine. That guy's just a little too passionate.
I have no clue lol, does it really work like that?
No casual fan is ever going to say anyone looks less stupid than the Young Bucks choreographed Rockers in 2015 moves. Styles Clash looks dumb but you can suspend some disbelief. Meltzer Driver(LOL WRESTLING REFERENCE) is like every other Young Buck move, it just says FAKE FAKE THIS IS A FAKE SPORT FAKE and plays carnival music in the background.

And you nerds going on about Kenny Omega need to watch Omega vs ACH from BOLA 2014.

Aren't there a few guys that are obsessive like him..? Yeah, ComicGAF is fine, poor choice of gaf. I actually like them when the comic topics come up. I guess I just don't like the guys that go ape shit over the films.

Young Backs were fun at WK9, I can't excuse MOST of their behavior elsewhere though.
The Young Bucks are brilliant.
People enjoy them on two levels. One is for people who actually love dude bro spot monkies working in tandem, only on a bigger stage. The other is the group of people who can't fucking stand them because of it, making them huge meta heels.

I agree with it looking like a stepping stone. When I started watching in 2012 I wasn't sure if Jr. was a weight class or if it was literally a stepping stone to main event contention.
Where I disagree is how to use Ibushi right now. One superstar isn't going to save that division. Ibushi is one of their top performers and it would be a shame to have him wrestle in a title match with almost no energy or crowd reaction like Taguchi/Omega had. If they can add 2-3 really talented guys, put Ibushi back down in the Jr. division and you've got something to build on. If they're not willing to do that, then keep Ibushi away. No point in wasting him if they aren't serious about building up the Jrs.

Sorry. But I think the Young Bucks stuff at least looks like it hurts. Styles Clash is quite possibly the dumbest finishing move used by a major wrestler. And in the gif Freckles posted it looks like he's wrestling in Pabst Blue Ribbon tights. Negative points.

I want to get an av from Suzuki from WK9. I will eventually, just wanted to get the one of me off lol.

I'm sure there's a difference between the Bucks (a team that are supposed to be somewhat satire from my understanding) and a guy like AJ who is supposed to be one of, if not THE best pro-wrestlers in the world. I would probably like AJ more and his dumb finisher if he didn't have such a prominent role in whatever promotion he was in.
I don't consider you a good heel if your match psychology actually makes me avoid matches that you're involved in. Like I don't think 'Man, I can't wait for Ishii to kill the Young Bucks!' I think, 'Man, I can't wait for the Young Bucks to go back to ROH'

Shit, I had no idea that Kenny-kun was repping the FnP Movement this hard.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUO1opfLY7U
Omega vs ACH was the 2014 FnP MOTY
I kinda want them in NXT/WWE but only if someone gives them the gimmick of the New New Rockers/some other late 80's tag team.

just placed the order for the DVDs today my dude. forgot Omega was in it, now i'm even more stoked
Shit, exposing the business be damned, I had no idea that Kenny-kun was repping the FnP Movement this hard.
everything i've seen from him says that he's FnP personified
This looks like Zangiefs ultra
