Hopefully soon, this fake Strobogo that JR is pushing on us is fooling nobody.

At the very least they've been running polls on WWE.com for season two of Countdown.

I like em both, but Vol 2 was better because it dug deeper into what I loved about Nitro - the undercard.
At least it's not Bootaaay's exam. I'd fail that hard.
Then, now, forever.

Looks like the incredible moment from the Michigan State game in January that killed Daniel Wyatt in one fell swoop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0ttEbPycDs

I hope her and Ambrose make it. Classic good girl falls for the bad boy. They should work it into storyline. I'm serious. I never though Ambrose would make a good babyface but I was completely wrong.
Duncan and friends, it's time for EVO finals Nerd Chat.

Can't wait for CM Punk's Son vs old man HHH storyline that will happen in 25 years. Old man Punk returns to finally main event Wrestlemania
I would sign a lifetime WWE Network contract in my blood to see Trips in his 60s wrestling saggy tats Punk.
That Deutsch power.

Yumiko Hotta vs Suzuka Minami - (AJW 1993/01/24)
This is a good watch, shows why Suzuka is a really under-appreciated wrestler. She apparently didn't have much of a personality, promo-wise, and suffered from being in the shadow of so many other talented wrestlers (her Marine Wolves tag partner Akira Hokuto, for one), but was a very versatile talent who showed a lot of fire and could hang with just about anyone on the roster. Hotta's martial arts background sometimes hindered more than it helped, but this is one of her better matches at this point in her career and she gets good sympy from the crowd when Suzuka's punishing the hell out of her legs. Although Suzuka's popularity never reached that of her peers, with matches like this she showed that she'd often come close to stealing the show.
Kyoko Inoue vs Takako Inoue - (AJW 1993/01/24)
Double Inoue's collide! Fun match, with all the usual goings-on you'd expect from tag partners facing off in singles competition, lots of counters. Kyoko has the distinct size and strength advantage, but Takako plays the underdog role really well and does a great job of getting the crowd behind her as she freaking explodes on Kyoko later into the match. If there's one complaint to make, it's that Kyoko takes a ridiiiiiiiculous amount of punishment, which takes something away from the finish, but worth a watch nonetheless.
Toshiyo Yamada & Manami Toyota vs Aja Kong & Bull Nakano - (AJW 1993/01/24)
Yeah, this is good. The match is totally all over the place, lots of back and forth action throughout with Toyota & Yamada making some hot comebacks to try and overcome their much bigger opponents. Bull is awesome here, she looks dangerous as hell on the attack and sells brilliantly once Toyota & Yamada start working over her leg. However, Aja's never far away and, while never really the focus of the match, is always on hand to deliver some nasty-ass strikes, or just dump someone on their face. They do a great job of stringing the crowd along throughout the match, which only heightens the craziness of the finishing stretch. FUN.
Aja ain't got no time for flippy shit;

Might as well jump back into this thread.
Anyone else excited to see KENTA in NXT learning how not to break people's faces in various ways with his knees? It kinda sounds like him and Steen will show up around the same time, as well, unless all the Steen to WWE rumours end up being BS.

Prince Devitt as well. KENTA in NXT will probably have to learn to tone down the stiffness in his strikes. NXT is becoming some super Indie right now.

It's sad as FUCK we'll never see anything but fitness and swimsuit models with the OCCASIONAL breakout wrestler in the WWE women's division as long as Kevin Dunn is around. NXT is making me look forward to future WWE women's division when he's gone, at least.
It's the best indie promotion in the US currently. Arguably the best woman's promotion too.
1) It's the best that they still make them carry belts and stuff
2) This looks like a dress code violation.

Pepos ode 12 of SNME might be the best of the whole set. It has the flavor. Great promos. Preview of Reigns vs Cena.

Also cocaine, 87 might be the Year of Cocaine.
So what you're saying is that Punk is bombing Sting's debut.

Is there a good joshi documentary DVD out there? Or one with some of the essential matches from the 90s and before? Or just a Manami Toyota doc or DVD? Or a book or something?
