i'm LTTP, but the Nagata vs Shibata match at Dominion was some fun stuff
The ref shaking his head at the beginning like "Fuck he dead"
Bracketology and THE FINAL DELETION on two sides of the wrasslin' field. Best time to be a wrestling fan right now friends. Balee dat.
Woops, I did own up to it a few pages back, honestly never heard of the term being bad. Total regular colloquialism here in Ireland.
Yeah but will they go 30 minutes though

My favorite thing of the Final Deletion thing is the people that don't get it that feel the need to express aloud that they don't get it.
If you don't like it, that's fine. It's hypocritical to call something like that 'not wrestling' when you look at the history of wrestling with things like Inoki fighting on an island, empty arena matches, foreign spikes, and all of that and just shows your ignorance of the sport. But keep that to yourself because it makes you look bad. But then you need to write an 8 paragraph diatribe where you say, 'I didn't like it but it's ok that you liked it....... but if you liked it, it's not art, it's not pro wrestling, it's insulting. BUT ITS OK IF YOU LIKED IT'
Like it's the mainstream version of calling someone a gimmick fan for liking something. Like I'm not going to say, 'you're an idiot for liking it' but i'm going to insult its integrity, intentions, creativity, individuality, and you for watching it. but i'm not going to call you an idiot. i'm just going to be as indirect as possible.
The idea of bringing up Ricochet's 'wrestling is art' thing for a cheap pop and then putting out this narrow view of what is pro wrestling and that the final deletion isn't pro wrestling is the ultimate smarky cunt pretense.

My favourite are the horrified fans that it "made a mockery of the business"

Yeah, I had no idea it was derived from the offensive term for travellers (which you hear used fairly liberally around here, along with others, as we have a large traveller community who aren't exactly held in the best regard).

Wrestling encompasses so much. It's easy to hate flippy dippy shit, or #TheFinalDeletion or shoot-style matches or Suzuki vs Mecha Mummy, but its all under the same umbrella. It's all still the wrassles. Enjoy what you like. If you don't get it, much like the stuff I don't get, that just means I'm missing out, not that I'm on a high horse.

There's a lot of bad things that came out of Octagon being a piece of shit to Flamita and getting his way. But I think the worst to me is destroying that AAA relationship after he was a highly sought after talent from CMLL and AAA, getting put over by both Volador Jr from CMLL and Fenix from AAA only to have it ruined by some drunken bully. I do wonder if Konnan still being in AAA would've prevented that because Konnan had no problem putting Octagon's shitty self on blast.
But I would have loved to seen the occasional AAA talent in Dragon Gate, even just once. Drago and Aerostar would've done real well with the fans especially.

This is also my favorite. Like when people say that something is a good video game but not a good "Franchise X" game.

I wouldn't blame anyone for thinking that way, because the flippy shit is what brought him to the dance and that's what people are expecting to see, but he's going to surprise a lot of people once they get to see what he can do beyond that. He plays a good heel, for one thing, and can work a story into his matches beyond trying to one-up the other guy with flip after flip.
Damn, tricked into watching some UFC thing. Was hoping it was the nWo.

Finally caught up with this week's main event in WCPW.
Noam Dar vs. Rampage
Not a bad match!
Outside of them needing to tone down the commentary a bit/sort out some production issues (and it's only been two weeks), they've both been solid episodes so far.
Anyone else keeping track?

Same, I want to root for a lot of competitors right now, especially : Kendrick, Gallagher, Ibushi, Perkins and Swann.
Hey Sephzilla, you got a new car? Well I went and took it for a test drive.

Yeah I'm going to be upset when nearly everyone loses
THIS ISN'T FUCKING HARD WWE LOOK, I CARE. I DON'T EVEN CARE THAT MUCH ABOUT NXT ANYMORE.
Is that the Dark Britannico stuff? Thanks to TEW I learned he worked under that name with a mask before. Cool name as well.
Yeah, and I love how they really put over that this has never been done before by the WWE, no one ever expected it and it is a paradigm shift in philosophy with at least some parts of the company. I also love how Bryan puts over the guys "on the fringes". That may come across like a forced company buzzword, but it really puts over how diverse and special this tournament is.
Which is part of why I criticize the 100 miles an hour, gymnastics work pace of the independent scene. That shit is not good for you in the long-term. Look at Rey Mysterio or Takuya Sugi and think about what you're doing to your body just to get noticed by the WWE then to only either get noticed by the WWE and get immediately injured due to years of abuse to your knees or to not get not iced and lose all of your heat because you're not doing the stuff that people popped for when you were in the indies. Trevor Lee and Andrew Everett's knees are going to be dust in 7 years and neither have shown they can do much else besides HOLY SHIT BIG POP ALL THE TIME moments for the Resada crowd.
You don't get the lucha safety net of being able to slow down in your older years and still be respected as a veteran. Most indie veterans are treated as jokes and has-beens that couldn't make it to the big time and can't do what they brought to the table with very few exceptions.
And not everyone can transition into an AJ Styles caliber technical wrestler when the high flying's not working anymore.
this week will be a better judge of if it helped.
Hell I plan on watching impact again.
So I finally saw The Final Deletion. Matt Hardy's character is over the top cheese and I love it. Jeff Hardy is Jeff Hardy. I loved the drone attack bit, but the backyard wrasslin was all a bit cheesy. There needs to be more in wrestling like this though. I think the reason people liked this is the same reason people like Lucha Underground. It was different, over the top and you never knew what they would do next.
And the at the desk conversations felt so genuine. Just some guys passionate about wrestling talking about it. No, as you said, forced buzzwords, no shitty scripts, just from the heart. Good shit all round.

Dario and Mil will be at SDCC
Wow I have to check this out based off that photo. Maybe its just a fortunate shot but he really looks the part.
HHH was worried Mauro would go for the wristlock and go behind.
wow wrestling is fake thanks for that
Everyone involved just seems so excited about this product. I loved how Bryan (I think) compared it to the Super J Cup. That has me excited because they do have a real chance to build something special here. This feels like the start of a new tradition that can rival the best tournaments in Japan.

well I mean what's the point of rooting for anyone else on that side, it's like rooting for Fandango to win the WWEWHC
