I was watching some documentary, and this lion was eating a buffalo, and his buddies caught wind of it. The other buffalo comes up and flips the fucking lion in the air and makes him do a 630 splash.
 
So yeah....cosplay.

People are into it and that's cool but for local conventions, what exactly is the point? For fun? To get noticed? A bit of both?

To me, it's no different than a halloween party but to them it's party time, all the time.

And that's cool I guess.

It's mainly for fun, dressing up as your favorite characters and all, plus there are competitions at a lot of cons where you get prizes and stuff, can even lead to jobs

I know some cosplayers and I kind of respect them even if I don't understand the culture. It's easy to point and laugh but it's brave on some level.

It is only cool when it is good cosplay, when it bad it looks fucking terriblle.

Anyone else watching Hogan standing up to mother Russia on Saturday Night's Main Event? Surprised the title match starts the show.

Was coming to say that

Weird how different it was

Hogan's opening the show
He was in the middle of the last show

And Hogan wearing all white is so strange haha

So, instead of PPVs, time is better spent watching Clash of the Champions and Saturday Night's Main Event, right? They seem consistently better than PPVs.
 
Daniel Bryan Autobiography synopsis

YES! YES! YES! Daniel Bryan is the real deal. Everyone's favorite underdog, he's proven to the world and to all of WWE that looks can be deceiving. Just ask everyone who's ever underestimated him…right before he went out and whipped the WWE Universe into a frenzy. This is Bryan's behind-the-scenes story told for the first time ever — from his beginnings as a child wanting to wrestle to his ten years on the circuit before finally making it in WWE. When his "YES!" chant becomes a full-fledged movement, his career skyrockets. This book chronicles all the hard work, values, influences, unique life choices and more leading to his watershed week at WrestleMania 30. You won't want to miss it. Yes! We're sure about this.

April 1, 2015 release date.

At least there's something to look forward to re: Bryan. Bryan's Hall of Fame induction will be the week prior to the release date. Corporate synergy!

Uh. Er. Okay.

This is a disturbing oversight.

Eh. The first few Clashes are dope, but most of the PPVs from NWA in the same period were solid. WWF PPVs weren't that good ever really, but they weren't about match quality nearly as much as NWA, so they shouldn't be judged the same way. SNME is way more fun for the out of ring stuff, whereas Clash had some of NWA/JCP/WCW's best matches.

Who the fuck wants a Daniel Bryan Autobiography published by WWE? I can understand a DVD doc but a book? We'll never get any good stuff from that. Then again, would Bryan even be the type to let go of juicy details from his career?

Foley's book was highly acclaimed and done under the WWE branch so there's hope. It depends if he's hands on with it, so hopefully he's not as passive about it as he was with his Kane feud.

The only Wrasslin books I can recommend are:

Hardcore Holly's
Foley's first book
Foley's second book
Death of WCW
Masked Man's book


So I guess that's a fave five right there.

how juicy was HBK's book? it's gonna be the same co-author and everything. I honestly don't think Bryan's book will be THAT interesting but who knows?!

Was this Bret book any good though? Been meaning to read it.

Catching up on NXT; Neville seems a good talker, not a spetacular promo machine, but he seems to know how to talk naturally without looking rehearsed... which is a lot more than most people.
 
If I have to hear JBL scream "the bull's twerkin'!" when he's wagging his dick, I'm going to throw something. How old and out of touch are these carnies?
 
For some reason I read Foley's one he did when he was with TNA. Imagine a book filled with his Facebook posts and that's what you get. The Kurt Angle story was good though.

That reminds me I read Kurt Angle's book when I was a kid.

I think a lot of people mistake his thick accent for "bad talking". He's working on lessening the accent in any case.

Seth Rollins has gone from dire on the mic to pretty solid (though he needs to not have such long promos), Neville is in the same slow process.

Hog Wild 1996 is a weird ass PPV. The shot of the mountainside is really cool. The bikers? Not so much.

Benoit coming out with Woman AND Miss Elizabeth. Lucky.
And depressing.

Bret's book was excellent. It totally changed how I viewed him, though. He cheated on his g/f and wife numerous times and was a bit of a horndog.

Territories books seems the most interesting to me because of how chaotic it seems; nobody seems to have a clear entire picture of what was going on, so multiple accounts help.

But for 90s and 00s wrestling; I don't know what secret people want revealed. It seems every contemporary backstage story is how some old man either fucked up or almost fucked up or wanted to fuck up but circunstances beyond his control accidentaly created a success story.

Seriously. He never has anything to say anyway, and now he has a book?

Reminds me of Lesnar's shit book deal.

I only care about the Daniel Bryan book that details his indy life and I dunno if WWE would ever want him talking about dudes that could sue them. I know he'll NEVER say anything remotely disparaging about WWE or those in the company.

Also, Brie Bella is actually writing this.
