I hope some of you watched ROH last night, because the best match on any of the shows was Dalton Castle vs Jushin 'Thunder' Liger;

It will probably be good to watch for schadenfreude reasons. I don't know why but I'm interested in this season. Maybe it's the seperation between this and NXT over how people in the company think their future stars should be.

Just to correct Meltzer's post, there is at least one actual wrestler in the Tough Enough Top 40.

Whadya talking about? Why tarnish the legacy of being the valet for the Stoner Brothers, Rickscott and Scottrick?

Not going to lie, I loved him in this role when he was in TNA.

Mundo vs puma in an iron man match next week? Dis gun be gud
Hey look it's Wrestlemania headliner The Miz.
I never understood why they thought he would be a good face of the company.
I mean most people said :"Is that the guy from the real world? Wow that wrestling is fake"
Instead of trying to make it feel real like when they got Tyson.

I've seen him on Countdown. He's obviously been a huge fan of the biz for a long time.

Elite hot takes on my silly Twitter about the nonsense of wrestling, y'all
Who's that tall dude who always reads from the card before the match?

TNA news:
Impact last night in Canada aired without commentary. Someone fucked up.
A station in India is airing Impact focused on Khoya (like how SD always ended with Khali's segment or match). The problem is it's Khoya, who will more often than not (as in 99% vs 1%) never be used on Impact. Someone fucked up.
Cornette said on his podcast his friend Mike who works in TNA's office? Accidentally received an Excel spreadsheet copy of their financials that was meant for the Mike who's head of merch. The war between TNA and email continues. Someone fucked up.

So on Observer Radio Meltzer was saying that Vince has no idea Prowrestlingtees exist and that despite Owens selling tons of merch and network subs for NXT he doesn't want anyone else from ROH or indies to maintain their character because of a toy?
Does Hasbro own a stake in WWE or something? How many Kevin Steen figures does he think they will sell vs the money they make?

I believe they don't know about Prowrestlingtees.
If they did they would lawsuit them so hard they would be knocked out of existence.

Austin, Nash, Hall, Foley, and Punk have stuff up there. I'm sure they would want to go after them for anything they can considering how bitter the company can be.
I mean they have Latino World Order and Blue World Order shirts up there and they went after the bullet club for the kliq sign stuff.

Seiji Sakaguchi;
He was one of Rikidozan's students and started out in the JWA with Inoki & Baba, then followed Inoki to New Japan and became the secondary star of the promotion throughout the 70's, much in the same way Fujinami did in the 80's. After retiring he took the role of IWGP commissioner, which is why you'd see him reading the official match contract at the start of title matches. He occasionally shows up on commentary for big New Japan shows, but not very often these days.
Indie twitter's really been getting its knickers in a twist for the past couple of days. DRAMA!
Hell, they have a Macho Man shirt up there:
http://www.prowrestlingtees.com/classic-macho-man.html
That is very much a knock-off of one WWE Shop has:
http://shop.wwe.com/"Macho-Man"-Ran...Purple&start=4&cgid=superstar-alumni-machoman
Same reason why WWE wants to own the names of wrestlers even after they fire them. They hate it when others make money from "their" work. They'd rather keep something and sit on it rather than let it go and see someone else succeed with it even if the success is minimal.
Vince didn't own many of the guys gimmicks until later on.
Like how Brutus the Barber Beefcake had to be called Brother Brudai

they know it exist, asutin had to take one of his shirts down. dont think they really care. this toy thing seems petty espcially since the steen figures are only going to have one run and thas it.

Indie wrestling is the dumbest shit imaginable behind the scenes. Goooood Lord.
I like how Pro Wrestling Tees went out of their way to say 'Hey fuck everyone else who sells them, we're hte only authorized NJPW Shirt sellers!!!!! We'll snitch on anyone else!'
then go to their NJPW section which they haven't updated since they first got them. Still the same old outdated shirts. I hope Vince DOES find out about that site

That's one thing when your company is making crazy money but right now ratings are down and network subs can't be doing fantastic considering they are giving away every PPV for free.
Owens is bringing in money and eyes to the product. Seems silly to throw that away because ROH is making 1,000 plastic toys.
I don't really get the big deal over the Steen action figure. The majority of action figures that will sell will be Kevin Owens action figures, because that is what everyone will know him as.
The Kevin Steen action figure will sell to collectors and smark fans but won't make a big headway into the casual fan's collection.

Pro-Wrestling Tees are terrible quality and are run by some ridiculously defensive assholes - at least the NJPW Europe tees are printed to a much higher standard and always have the sleeve & back designs.

If it doesn't have the lion mark tag from Japan, don't fucking buy it.
PWTees just screen print the designs. They're ass.

Yesterday was my first experience with Lucha Underground. Then I went back and watched a few matches from last year.
A few thoughts:
1. I didn't know John Morrison was still wrestling.
2. Prince Puma is damn amazing
3. I love the energy that these guys fight with.
4. I've yet to see a bad or horribly botched match yet.

It's not my fault you can't do drugs and write, pal. I did enjoy how you got ultraviolet on the pear though.

PWTees is a pretty shitty company. They use some "artists" that rip shit off wholesale. And they know it. They just don't care/and/or play ignorant.
Prince Puma is independent wrassler Ricochet.

You're welcome.
I will say I do like that Prowrestlingtees has such a wide variety of stuff even if some of them are crap.
Stuff like Hats, bandanas, and skullcaps are something that people might actually wear instead of the shitloads of bad merch wwe sells.
And outside of Reigns, Cena, Bellas, and now Owens nobody gets a ton of merch.
No reason why somebody as popular as Bryan had this shirt for so long while Cena had 4 designs during that period regardless of how well they sell.
I'm always amazed that WWE makes no golf shirts or gear at all. I could see some club covers being top sellers.

I wonder what happened to puro_yottsume. He was the best when it came to NJPW merch.
