New Year Dash starts on NJPW World in a minute or so, no matches announced other than Liger vs Despy, so we get a mystery show!
Also, I see that Lionheart (British wrestler who got his neck broke taking the Styles Clash) was tweeting links to pirate WK9 until the Bucks called him out on it. Pretty hypocritical for a guy who works mostly in PCW, which is the promotion that took Chris Masters round some dorks house who had been pirating their DVDs and intimidated him into giving them back, then uploaded it to youtube as a 'message' to other pirates.

They will do so much better business there though it's not even funny.
I'm still definitely at least recording TNA on Wednesday. I want to see what their roster looks like.

Are they Impact Wrestling or are they TNA?

Found this while looking for pictures of Bull Nakano. Today was a good day.
I miss Thickie.
They're still TNA, but they just call the show Impact Wrestling (as opposed to TNA Impact like they used to).

Thanks for the heads up, thought this was tomorrow. Can't wait for the main event, wonder what else is on there.

From what I could make out during the opening announcement, we're getting a Bucks & Omega vs Time Splitters & Taguchi match and Shibata's in the main event tag, not sure against who.
This is the card according to the NJPW website.

Don't know if it's still accurate though.

Hm, I just assumed Liger vs. Desperado was the main event, given how good that feud has been and because it's a title match.
Seems accurate, so far.

This match didn't need to be 35 minutes long. And Yoneyama works better in tag team environments. She really don't have a Taiyo quality war crate. I loved seeing the drunken master bit though.
And WWE really needs to adopt the 'wrestlers come out to watch the main event/title match but don't interfere' thing. Especially for something like Bryan/Triple H.

Don't suppose there's a list somewhere of all the content on the WWE Network?

He kinda looks like the big bad from Jeepers Creepers there.

Total Divas had some good moments but some of the writing was really sloppy. The Bella breakdown felt off and Nattie trying to have a fender bender while having a TV crew inside the car AND a car full of production people 2m behind them the whole time was a poor choice. All that should have been done in retrospective interviews cut back in with Nattie in the moment not saying anything and just driving wildly into a fender bender. Writers should hang their heads in shame at that shit.
C+ because Paige was great and will be great. Gives the writers a "look at this wacky foreign white chick being young and dumb!" angle to play with now.

Hah, fucking smarks at Korakuen chanting for the Young Bucks.
Also, that gif is nuts Data - Kasai's done a few of those 'ring deconstruction' deathmatches and they never end well. Most insane one I saw was in M-Pro, Sasuke took a disgusting powerbomb on the exposed ring frame.

Wait the Dudleys are coming back? *googles* Well then. I'm not sure how I feel about this, though them using tables again would definitely pad out the current 2-man Hardcore division of Ambrose and Wyatt (or at least that's what it felt like in the last few weeks of 2014).
Well, the worst, predictable parts about Kasai's death matches are when you see the big, 'holy shit they're not gonna do that' spots... you know Kasai is taking it. Because he's the only one who's gonna. Even if he was the one setting up the spot.
There's also a double underhook piledriver on the wooden ring with no mat. But the match before it, the semi-final with Takeda and Kasai is WAY worse. There's a part where Takeda gets a gusset board and just wails Kansai multiple times in the head with it. You see more and more blood get on the wood then he knees it into Kasai's face. And you watch the ref in the background, and she puts her hand over her mouth like, 'what the fuck am I watching'
Also I think it's hilarious that we're at the pointn ow where it's like, 'Pft light tubes? Fucking whatever' when I remember back when light tubes was like the most hardcore shit ever

how scripted is Total Divas? Because i remember hearing one of the divas (i think it was the Bellas) on Jericho's Podcast talking about how the camera is basically with them 24/7 and most of the stuff is basically real.
I'm sure there is some acting going on for the cameras but some of the stuff seemed real. Like the stuff with Nattie being slapped by Summer Rae and the consequences of that. The whole bitchiness between the divas seems like it's real.

My car brokedown, so I'm driving a company car. Holy shit. I've went from driving a matchbox car, to some sort of Jeremy Clarkson sex car. It's very odd.
