Joey & Candice are a lot of fun. Probably the most I've cared about watching Joey Ryan matches in years.

There seems to be a bit of a trend for intergender matches on the indies. AIW are doing an all-intergender show next month.

In case you've never seen this, you should watch the Ric Flair Command and Conquer series.

He's a general...but he's Ric Flair.

Thank God for the last scene, was waiting for that.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

I'll start hating the Vaudevillians when they start recreating Birth of a Nation.

EDIT: Third place but whatever, new page!

Goddam Alexa Bliss. Veronica also has a future in this company if she so desires....

What the hell have I just watched...

Edit: And now I've just found the Jenny McCarthy scenes. My afternoon is done.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

It is Friday morning, and Bobby Lashley is currently the top champ in wrestling by default

Thanks WWE for not stripping that scrub Bryan sooner, this is all your fault

 

[El Pescado]

Vaudevillians is the greatest tag team in years. Strongman Simon Gotch is the best gimmick to ever come out of NXT.

 

[British Monsoon]

Bobby Lashley isn't the top anything.

Also,

Strongman Simon Gotch is the best gimmick to ever come out of NXT.

He'd been using the strongman gimmick for a while before he went to NXT, probably what got him signed;

[Sblargh]

Having a strongman gimmick in the same ring as Cesaro is going to be tough.

 

[Data West]

Bobby Lashley isn't the top anything.

Also,

yeahhhh not much better

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

I'll take Vaudevillians over CAW #1 and CAW #2.

Anything in moderation, but honestly, ya'll need to lighten the fuck up.

It really isn't, because we don't know if they're being called, when they're being called up and how they're being called up. This is NXT and I'll enjoy NXT being NXT for as long as NXT is allowed to remain NXT. If you know what I mean. Not really bothered with what-if's like this, we'll see.

the Vaudevillains entrance is my favorite part of NXT so far this week, fuck y'all

There really has been a huge influx of fucking gimmick posters around here lately.

Help us, friend Heel.

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

I think you're missing the big picture.

Once they turn face they can adopt a high flying moveset and be called the Vaudethrillians

 

[British Monsoon]

yeahhhh not much better

I beg to differ. You couldn't pay me to watch Bobby Lashley wrestle, while I've enjoyed a bunch of AJ's matches this year.

Also, I was thinking more about prestige - you might not like the guy holding the belt, but the IWGP title is more prestigious than the TNA title. Along with about a dozen other titles in existence.

 

[Data West]

more like the bullshit club. boom.

 

[British Monsoon]

Oooooooh, snap. Or something.

More possible matches and it's wrestling, there should be no reason intergender matches can't be good when you're trying to book cruiserweights vs heavyweight UFC fighters as legitimate matches.

WWE probably won't start doing it on a regular basis until Vince is dead.

 

[Sblargh]

Vince's idea of an intergender match (sans Chyna) would probably involve hilarious angles mocking domestic violence.

*Male wrestler punching and kicking a supermodel-turned-diva who can't fight back in the corner*

Jerry Lawler: "Well, that's one way to shut her up! I have to remember that when talking to one of my ex-wives!"

 

[Data West]

I don't know, when intergender matches are booked realistically between a match between a male MMA legend and a female faux MMA wrestler, you guys got really upset.

 

[Cagey]

The Young Bucks are the size of women wrestlers anyway, don't let that GIF fool you.

A cruiserweight versus a UFC heavyweight is miles more believable than Paige doing anything remotely harmful to that cruiserweight.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

WWE doesn't touch intergender anymore, at all. Terrified of the implications.

Also AJ Styles is a great wrestler.

 

[FallingEdge]

Been watching a fair amount of 2002-03 ROH lately. Kinda funny to see how different the product is compared to now but at the same time, a lot of things are the same.

TNA Press Release:

TNA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP CHANGES HANDS

BOBBY LASHLEY WINS TITLE FOR FIRST TIME ON IMPACT WRESTLING LIVE FROM BETHLEHEM, PENN.

BETHLEHEM, Penn. (June 19, 2014) – TNA Superstar, MMA fighter, three-time amateur wrestling Collegiate National Champion and former Army man Bobby Lashley (twitter: @fightbobby) tonight became the new TNA World Heavyweight Champion, defeating reigning champion “Showtime” Eric Young during an explosive episode of IMPACT WRESTLING (Spike TV, 9/8c) broadcast live to millions around the globe from Bethlehem, Penn.

This is the first time the behemoth Lashley has held the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. Ranked by “Pro Wrestling Illustrator” as Rookie of the Year in 2005, Lashley has spent nearly a decade dominating the squared circle with his rare mix of size and athleticism. Lashley originally joined TNA in 2009 and after a hiatus returned to the promotion at the “Lockdown” Pay-Per-View event earlier this year. In recent weeks Lashley has joined forces with Director of Wrestling Operations MVP to wreak havoc on the TNA locker room.

Lashley is a decorated amateur and professional wrestler, including:
NAIA Collegiate National Championship (1996 - 1998)
NAIA All-American (1995 – 1998)
CISM Armed Forces Championships Senior Freestyle Medalist – Gold (2003), Silver (2002)
Pro Wrestling Illustrated Rookie of the Year (2005)
Two-time WWE ECW World Champion
WWE United States Champion
TNA World Heavyweight Champion

A savvy businessman and single father of two, Lashley resides in a suburb of Denver, Colo.

A savvy businessman

Genius.

Good because I haven't heard it yet.

Latter is arguable, former is wrong. Dead wrong. Shit aged hard, but most (if not all) simulation sports games in the 3D era do.

I still think there is a lot of things that are done better in 2K5/2K8 than Madden, but yes, the game has indeed shown its age. It is depressing because I can only imagine how amazing 2K15 would have been =/

This gen? It would have been microtransaction garbage if their PS4/Xbox One entry of NBA2K14 is any indication. The single player is practically a F2P model now, locking all of the good stuff behind a pay wall.

I'm so glad I bought the physical version of it at launch, was able to trade it in for $44 at Gamestop. My digital brothers on the other hand.... *nationofdomination.gif*

 

[JavyOO7]

Madden would be better if there was a competing studio who also made an competent NFL game. Though I haven't played a Madden in a while, it only makes sense that their game has slacked since there's no competition. Same goes for WWE, really.

I've only played 2K14 PC version but isn't The Association Mode free from all of that? I thought it was My Player that had some sort of F2P model.
