I should probably watch Ready to Rumble in my chronological journey. >_>

It does play an important role in WCW

No you really shouldn't. It's bad.

Jimmy King's gonna crown the fuck outta RoboCop

Ishii/Fale was a fucking great little wrestling match. Ishii is just the best seller.

Marufuji delivered again with Tenzan (ofc) and #BrokenTana is an intriguing little storyline. What happens when all the stuff that got and kept you on top stops working, even against people you used to brush off?

yo, did you end up planning the trip over for Will/Haskins next week? I've got a ticket I need to put on the resale site if you want a heads up for one

I'll PM you.

Why don't they just keep the championships as-is and make it so that the dual-branded shows have a mandatory cross-brand defense of the title, and then elevate the B-title to make you the No. 1 contender for the WWE Championship at the dual branded shows (other than WM, obviously, which still has the RR tie-in)?

IDK, I just don't really like the idea of the second title so I'm grasping at straws for how they avoid introducing it.

 

[Cagey]

Zach, I see you're after my heart today.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Imagine if during the celebration, Bryan hits a running knee on Ambrose, hoist the belt over his head, fade out.

Only if Kane comes down to the ring to celebrate with his former tag-team partner. Heel/Team Hell No Bryan is best Bryan.

That'd be nice

I loved Ready To Rumble when I was a kid, watched it at least a hundred times. Not sure how badly it has aged tho

Never seen it.

but this, yes.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

It doesn't surprise me. I'm telling you guys, you have a problem with cliquish behavior. I can't tell you how many times I have seen people drop by, try to get a word in and get completely ignored.

WrassleGAF just has a problem with developing new superstars.

Ready to Rumble has aged horribly and the middle section of the movie is painfully bad

Is WrassleGAF doing a draft split into two threads? I feel like it'd be best for business.

looking forward to more of those smooth moves tonight.



ps. Goldberg had the most amazing spear in the world. These wrestlers today bring great shame to that badass move.

At most i expect them to use a different video board for their entrance way/curtain

I mean its a flatback bump where his legs just hit the ropes.

I watch with a few friends every week and agreed that we'd stick with Raw for now.

 

[notworksafe]

I do not. That is why I am dropping Raw. Three more hours on Monday to workout and cook a nice dinner. I'm already down to just skipping around NXT for the good matches as well.

plus 2 for the CWC and NXT.

And for the extra crazy throw in Superstars and Main Event

4+ Hour PPV
2 hours of Undercard wrestling
3+ Hours of raw
2 hours of Smackdown
1 hour CWC
1 hour NXT
1 hour of Raw/Smackdown Preshow

Don't forget upcoming Total Divas and Total Bella whatever

 

[notworksafe]

Anything real good from Raw will end up here and on Youtube, so I won't be missing much I imagine. I'll also still end up watching the Raw PPVs so I'll have the video packages to tell me the storyline.

We did this, we embraced an entire network of WWE programming and are reaping what we sowed.
They'll have us watching WWE branded cooking shows soon enough.

IDK, I just don't really like the idea of the second title so I'm grasping at straws for how they avoid introducing it.

What if there's only one belt, and it's only on one brand at a time, but the rival show can challenge for the title on the cross-brand super shows?

Nah, it's too weird.

: >

Zach, I see you're after my heart today.

Always and forever, my love.

looking forward to more of those smooth moves tonight.

Bless you for the gif.

Did anyone else think JBL's commentary was drastically improved last night?

Loved his comparison of Owens to Bam Bam Bigelow.

And it was the first time in months he didn't actively make an Ambrose match worse.

I think JBL as a face commentator could be pretty good.

He's really bad at trying to be a heel commentator for Vince.

Then again King drastically improved on Smackdown so we'll see.

 

[Skatterd]

Don't forget 2 ppvs a month on months where there's not a cross-brand PPV!
And there will probably be Takeovers those months so....

And I will watch all of it because fuck it if I'm gonna go crazy might as well go all the way.

I really liked how he was upset that he had to root for Ambrose. It was a nice touch.
