The Arthur Gies of wrestling. The kind of guy who argues for womens rights because they clearly need a man's help.

I can't find any further info on Graves release. Nothing but Rafa's comment.
I hope we're ok.

Google All Access Music is the greatest thing ever. I don't know why I waited so long to jump on board with the streaming music bandwagon.

I was debating between that or Google but in the end, Google won due to the fact that I can upload my own music on there.
I'm with you man. I was resistant to it because I like owning music, but this is just too convenient.
WrassleGAF House?
Just don't let anyone bring pigs feet.
Well, I agree that gender, racial, and social equality should be battles fought by everybody, but it's possible to come off as a self-righteous turd if you White Knight too much.
Btw, why don't we say BLACK KNIGHTING? CISM.

I prefer Rdio over Spotify, but still use Google Music for all the uploaded digital versions of the weird physical stuff that I own(ed).

Managing your own digital media can be a pain in the ass. Ripping all my CDs was a chore but at least it's done. But I decided I wasn't going to do it with DVDs. Too much of a hassle.

Just the answer I was secretly hoping for.

I'm sure this is all according to Bootaaay's keikaku but every time I click on our thread I think of the CZW theme. Goddamn I love it.
For those who have never heard this magnum opus:

It's also fun to see Dean Ambrose singing the CZW theme:

I really, REALLY want a WrassleGAF Viewing Party for some early 2000s CZW.
I really really want this to happen. Anyone else up for it? Just the concept?

Who will be the Marty Janetty of the Young Bucks? Both of them.

If I had to order the star quality of the Shield, Ambrose would be solidly #1 and Reigns would be solidly at #3. Reigns is tall and handsome but he's got one face which is kind of smoky but mostly sour, and one tone of voice which is that he just woke up. When Taker has displayed 5x the emotional range you have, and you don't have a gimmick to cover for it, then you're in trouble. I doubt that he can be turned kid-friendly like Cena is, and that's also concerning because he's below Cena's cringeworthy limited skills and abilities when it comes to a promo.

...and the match went on for 10 more spot-filled, no-sold, flippity floppity floopity minutes after that.
Star quality is rough. Reigns #1, Rollins #2, and Ambrose #3 to be honest. Reigns has the look and the exciting high-impact moves and people like him. Worst case, he gets overpushed and crowd turns on him and he goes full heel Batista and then everyone loves him again. I'm happy no matter what. Rollins comes off as a bore when he's not wrestling, but his wrestling is exciting and crowds love the moves so that will last as long as he does physically.
Ambrose, I mean... he's a great talker but I feel like he has a ceiling. Masked Man hit on this briefly (though he disagrees with me 100%):
Raven isn't "star quality". Raven is "interesting bad dude in the middle of the pack".
And I was just starting to like them based on their work in New Japan. Oh well, back to square one I guess.Someone say young bucks

That match is a MOTYC. Top 3 easily.

My body is ready for 2002-era CZW Nite. Me and FE will be the only attendees.
It'll be the precursor to the Buck-A-Thon night that's 2 hours of YB matches.

I think roman reigns, dean ambrose, and seth rollins should form a group called The Shield.

Remember when we were on the ORIGINAL BOndwagon and you guys, a lot of the same guys who like YB, weren't taking us serious and thought it was all a big joke? That we were just being hipsters/contrarian by liking Bo when everyone hated him?
That's how I feel about Young Bucks.

Zandig is one of the more powerful personalities in wrestling. I love his fire.
I went to this show last Monday, forgot to tell you guys.
I might do a better write up later, but not really. Here are some highlights:
- Rob Conway won the NWA championship. He is now known as "Iron Man Rob Conway", his theme song is Black Sabbath's Iron Man.
- They did a tribute to all the fallen wrestlers in the last year. The tribute was nearly 20 mins long, pretty sure over 3000 wrestlers have died in the last 6 months.
- The tribute ended with Ultimate Warrior, they literally ripped the Youtube version of WWE's tribute and played that.
- Rum and Coke was $5, with very little rum. I was paying $5 for Coke...
- Matt Hardy is slow, fat and dead inside.
- This was Bobby Sharp's Titantron : https://www.dropbox.com/s/ip3t4n9kky5m11w/2014-06-02 20.03.14.mov

Goddamn dmczaf
I'm becoming more of a fan of Shawn Michaels every time I see a PPV with him on it. I don't know if he thinks about his stuff or if his instincts are in the right place, but he got everything down in such a solid way. It never feels like he is there to do anything other than entertain the people watching the match. This probably changes at some point in his career given his problems with Brett, but watching him on the early 90s, it never feels it is about him.
He is great at what he does and, at the same time, he is great at making the other guy look strong. Isn't afraid at all to look goofy or to score the cheapest of wins and, at the end, he is constantly doing some little thing to keep your attention, there's always something about his maneirism that he is never in a neutral state.
Quickly becoming one of my all time favorites.
