Ricardo Rodriguez looks like a star at the 2012 Rumble.

 

[Zach]

I don't even care, I enjoyed the Socko/Cobra faceoff.

Jinder Mahal is in this Rumble! :O

Khali is still around in 2012??

This has been the most entertainment Rumble ever. But I even kinda liked the goofy announcers-entering schtick. Not bad.

 

[klonere]

In 10 years we'll be rolling our eyes at how overdone KitamuraOka is.

 

[Foggy]

Alright DDT Universe acquired. Anybody got a good place to start if I want some context for this years big show at the Super Arena?

The leadup Road To serves as a primer for the top 3 title matches

The Seika Sekiguchi vs Tetsuya Endo match sort of serves as the backbone to the tag title match and sets the stage for a prolonged rivalry down the line
http://ddtuniverse.com/program/index/20170219_DDT_060

KUDO vs Takeshita Konosuke put Konosuke back in title picture for the Saitama show
http://ddtuniverse.com/program/index/20170129_DDT_060

Most of the Saitama card aside from this is built around spectacle and some storytelling that I'm just in the dark about, especially with the undercard jokey guys.

 

[Zach]

There are a lot of boring dudes in 2012.

LMAO

 

[Heroman]

Imagine playing Overwatch and ARMS like a total nerd.

Imagine living that life.

2011 is dead to me! Just a few more years to go!

Zach you make it so easy.

Hi Wrasslegaf, been lurking for a bit and decided I should start posting in a community thread. There was no better time to start posting than the night of the highly anticipated PPV tonight. I was going to start posting here or the anime thread and since I watch more wrestling than anime.... Congrats?

 

[Seraphis Cain]

Did you see Suzuki forearm him to death a month or two back? That was awesome

Suzuki murdering Young Lions will never not be great.

I'm watching Super Brawl III for the first time. Only two matches it in and it's been a fun time.

Erik Watts sucks.

 

[Zach]

Oh, man. I think Sheamus is about to win this thang. Booorrriiinnng.

SuperBrawl III was pretty good, Recall.

Hi, Egg0. Looking forward to the Fave Five.

I like that I just weaseled my way in here and had no fave five asked of me.

 

[Zach]

We know your Fave Five, strobogo.

 

[Rimfya]

It dawns on me that Cien's character makes perfect sense in 2017.

He's a guy that doesn't care about wrestling. But he's kinda into wrestling.

In 2017.

Jericho was fucking amazing in WCW, still is. I need a Monday Night Jericho shirt.

 

[Zach]

Hit us with that all-time Fave Five, Slizz. We're on the edges of our seats.

Why didn't cool guy CM Punk bring back the winged eagle? He brought back ice cream and Howard Finkel and stuff. Cool guy Cody Rhodes out-cooled him by bringing back the fun IC title.

 

[Slizz]

All time? So hard. No order and I'll cheat

Flair, Sting, Austin, Rock, Hardy Boyz.

Right now?

Dunne, Scurll, Omega, Naito, Styles

Jericho Lifetime achievement award.

There should only be threads for the PPVs that matter.

That means wrestling died when they took the belts off eddie and benoit.

Thanks man this is exactly what I was looking for

I'll always say WCW's treatment of Steve Austin and Jericho in the 90's were the company's biggest misteps ever. People always cite guys like Mysterio, Benoit, and Eddie as missed opportunities but honestly at the time none of those guys really had the charisma to carry the ball. Austin and Jericho did, however.

 

[Slizz]

I hated Jericho at my young age at the time. HATED him in WCW, the shit he'd pull to retain his belt or get it back. Looking back its an amazing heel run.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Welp my free month of Wrestling Circus that I didn't use at all was up and I'm now paying them for this month because I forgot. Guess I'll watch the fuck out of their content to make it worth it

Eddie had a fuckton of charisma

[Data West]

Eddie had a fuckton of charisma

Not initially. He really struggled with it for a long time. There's a reason Art Barr was the one with all the heat in the Love Machines.

 

[Egg0]

Thanks for the welcome

Looking to catch up on BoSJ finals before Extreme Rules.

 

[Zach]

Eddie and Jericho as heels in WCW are, like, Fave Five material for ol' Zach. Both were fantastic.

 

[Zach]

Uh-oh. You guys got Data West on one of his Art Barr kicks.

 

[Hex]

Also if anyone but Nintendo put out ARMS I have a feeling it would get absolutely mangled for its lack of content. Style only gets you so far but it goes a little further when its Nintendo.

just wait until Gundam Versus is out if you want a good arena fighter that doesnt feel slow and has shit to do in it.

Not going to lie, same with Splatoon.
They would have been sent to die and been free for PSplus and LiveGold in months.
But maybe it will inspire other devs to take chances on odd concepts, which is good for everyone.
