Yuji Okabayashi looks delightfully ridiculous here: http://twitter.com/rsk_Jun_mask_Yp/status/756501345583128576

The New Age Outlaws tend to not get the credit they deserve anymore. They were legitimately one of WWF's top drawing acts during their highest period.

Because people are puss and try to rewrite history.

 

[Zach]

5. Minnesota Wrecking Crew
4. Terry and Dory Funk Jr
3. Midnight Express
2. Miracle Violence Connection
1. Road Warriors

As flawed as the Road Warriors were, their flaws were completely ignored by how amazing and awesome they were. Like, I'd have no doubt saying Miracle Violence Connection (and hell, all of my runners up) were BETTER in the ring than the Road Warriors, but there was something special about Honk and Aminal.

Steiners really belong on that list. Probably neck and neck with Minnesota Wrecking Crew...

We did this before. I posted:

1. Steiner Bros.
2. Hollywood Blonds
3. Brain Busters
4. Road Warriors
5. Midnight Express

That's probably wrong now, but I still feel pretty confident about the top three.

That Honma win.

 

[UrbanDandy]

I figured Honma would win to set up another NEVER title shot, the others were a big surprise to me though. Also, ouch;

What kind of move is that?

 

[Browny]

What kind of move is that?

Emerald Flowsion and what appears to be a Rikishi Driver.

That'd be a great avatar for someone if they wanted to rep THE YOOJ

Ah, Pretty Wonderful too. Just an excuse to post this:

You're dang right, Brown Town.

Your top 3 needs to be adjusted, 4 and 5 are great picks.

 

[Professor Beef]

Not a huge tag team fan, but my favorites are

The Hardy Boyz (though I always liked the Hardys more separate than together)

Normally I would say that you're part of the problem for keeping them apart, but then the #BROKEN Saga happened. So now I'm conflicted.

 

[Zach]

Stop telling me to like things differently, NVM.

Brother!

 

[bjork]

Road Dogg was likely part of why every kid back then thought they could be a wrestler. He barely ever did anything requiring strength, and he got paid to look like a dickhead with those braids and do his stupid shuffle thing.

The actual guy might be a nice person or whatever, but as far as Road Dogg goes, fuck him and anyone who enjoyed that shit. I'd rather watch a 3-hour Raw that was just 2003 HHH promos than one match with that turd in it.

 

[Kaladin]

Another day, another ugly shirt. This time for The Club. This time they steal the gas mask from Randy Orton and add some swords behind it.

Also, you have to dig deep into the Twitterverse to find out that #GB4-Life stands for Good Brothers 4 Life.

And finally, because "they're from Japan, Maggle!" they've thrown in some Japanese characters on the front.

That is a contender for worst shirt of the year if not last 5 years.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Top five tags:

1) Edge & Christian
2) Road Warriors
3) Brain Busters
4) Steiners
5) The Rockers

 

[Jamie OD]

What kind of move is that?

1. Air Raid Crash but without the head being cradled

2. Fire Thunder Driver

 

[Recall]

Honma once a major death match wrestler...

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Whoa. G1 Day 2 is completely free to watch here:

I like this list. Might swap out Midnight Express for Edge & Christian though.

 

[notworksafe]

The Miz is entertaining as the IC champ and one notable thing he has been doing is putting people over when he's on commentary which I always like when people do. As a heel he still makes it work in the sense of "they're good, but I'm better". I don't really care to see Darren Young win.

I love Miz with a title but I would also be okay with the both of the lower titles switching spots. Put the IC on Raw and the US on Smackdown, just like the good old days!

 

[Bluekaveli]

Jim Cornette would eat you for saying that.

Spoiler

I may agree with you.

 

[Striker]

Owen and Bulldog are my top tag team. Win win.

Meng and Barbarian were so fun to watch too.

 

[Kaladin]

Friends, No Man's Sky is 2.5 weeks out.

The hype is real.

 

[Zach]

I haven't seen enough of Edge and Christian (or the Hardyzzz). So far, through the tail end of '99, they've only impressed in that awesome ladder match. Other than that, eeehhh.

 

[bjork]

This is pretty close to mine, too.

Owen + Yoko #1

Meng/Haku + Barbarian #2

HBK + Diesel #3

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

There's only tag-team I need in life.

 

[UrbanDandy]

Speaking of tag teams, who would you pair up with in the Wrasslegaf Universe?

 

[korly]

I don't think The Motor City Machineguns get enough credit for their actual teamwork. Too many teams forget about that.

 

[Kaladin]

I am cautiously excited.

My pre-order is paid for and I'm just waiting on it to ship.

 

[FlammableD]

Their office is just down the road from me, so they get my moral support.

I'm the Dude Love to cranky Data West's Austin and he knows it.

I'm pretty excited. This game looks like it's going to scratch a massive star trek itch i've had

2 nights in London this year:

Due to the NJPW roster needing to fly immediately to Singapore following the events we have moved from our originally planned traditional weekend spots to give London a THURSDAY & FRIDAY night they won't forget for a long time to come!

On Thursday night - NOVEMBER 10TH we will return to the historic YORK HALL, BETHNAL GREEN for our final show of the year at the nations most famous combat sports venue.

Then on Friday night - NOVEMBER 11TH we will be live in the WALTHAMSTOW ASSEMBLY HALLS, a venue which although hasn't seen any pro wrestling action for many years is steeped in pro wrestling history having played host to several high profile events from both EWA (which featured European debuts for both Rob Van Dam & Sabu) & the original FWA which in many ways paved the way for a promotion such as ours. With a smaller capacity than York Hall you can expect these seats to sell out quickly.

 

[Data West]

NJPW givin the hot shit!@

oh it's hot alright

 

[Zach]

Don't listen to Bluekaveli. 1999 is death.

 

[FlammableD]

That night 2 venue is a pain in the cock to travel to.

Isn't Global Wars an ROH name? They get shafted again!

I feel like I've been saying that SINCE 1999.

No Man's Sky feels like a game you could dig into for a very very long time if you're into the space exploration stuff.

 

[Professor Beef]

Me and Nocturnowl
Me and FallingEdge
Me and DM, possibly due to commissioner shenanigans.

Too Sweet me bro. My LE is coming from Amazon.

I guess? They ran under that name last year as well, so I imagine it comes from New Japan.

HORRIBLE NSFL DEATHMATCH BOOTAY SHIT

 

[bjork]

No Man's Sky is definitely a "let the public test this for me" title. It looks super cool, but the promises are almost molyneaux level, so I want to see the final product in action before I throw money.

And you better not be throwing money at anything until you pay off that debt. You paid off that debt, right? bjooork.
