Watching the Beyond the Ring doc about the AWA. One thing that gets my eye is the snippets they are showing of Hogan vs Bockwinkel is the quality. Looks god like. Can't wait to see AWA stuff on the network eventually.

Oh man, watching this AWA documentary. Hogan was already a big star when Vince nabbed him. He already had the catchphrases, the name, the maneirisms, the merchandising, he was already famous. Documentary isn't even subtle in saying that 80s WWF was in large part AWA, but with better grasp of how to make a deal with TV stations.

It is a crazy concept. Had my knee worked on last month and had to be put under for a bit. It'll be all good. Just have some record your post surgery gibberish.

Oh God yes - this a thousand times. I think I remember asking for more morphine repeatedly, only to be told I already had three drips in me.

Kenta Kobashi vs Terry Gordy - (AJPW 1993/05/21)

Kenta Kobashi vs Steve Williams - (AJPW 1993/08/31)

Kobashi vs The Miracle Violence Connection! Fun match with Gordy, then Kobashi faces Dr. Death to determine the no.1 contender for Misawa's Triple Crown Championship. This is the famous match where Kobashi eats a ton of backdrop drivers and both guys generally just beat the shit out of each other.

Also I kind of like the Nazi staff, but I'm not very fond of the tag titles...

Both are pretty ridiculous, but the staff's grown on me - the shield just looks silly.

this ROH PPV is not bad so far. Finished up Alexander/Strong, which was good. Lethal/Taven was okay, Lethal seems like a good heel based on that video package. Opener was a mess and mostly about everyone getting their shit in, but it was my first time seeing ACH and he's hella impressive. gonna watch the rest tomorrow.

I'm still pumped after Best in the World last night. There was so much good done, and I hope it's just the beginning of the company offering live PPVS on TV. If they can do 3 or 4 a year, that would be great. Perhaps do these on PPV every year...

Anniversary show
Best in the World
Glory by Honor
Final Battle

I also think the company needs to get its shit in gear on the online front. Their site is updated too infrequently in 2014.

WWE should bring back Lashley,could be a good addition the talent pool.
Click to expand...

Lashley's 37, and not the most talented either in the ring or on the mic. They've got Bork for that MMA publicity too...

Also, dirt sheets were reporting last week that the E aren't really looking to bring in anyone over 30 - they've got enough old'uns hogging the spot light already (oooooo).

Listening to LAW review the ROH PPV. They called Sinclair getting superkicked "the best ref bump ever." LOL.
Click to expand...

Well that superkick looked stiff as hell. I'm sure refs have taken bigger bumps, but that probably hurt quite a bit. Maybe not deserving of the hyperbole, but definitely worthy of recognition.

They're pushing (lol?) new blood Adam Rose and he's in his mid 30's.

True - although he was "just" 30 when he came in as Kruger, and that was FWC days too (pre-Performance Centre).

Steen and Devitt are 30 and 33, so that does kinda go against last week's rumour. I can see the argument being there - more "homegrown" and molded, no real problems with merch and rights - but there will always be "that guy" that you want to bring in.

Fuck, why is Samoa Joe so damn fat...

Aiii

So not worth it
I just laughed entirely too hard at the "WE FUCKED UP" chant after the crowd threw the streamers too early, well played Nashville crowd.

That said, what a pay-per-view. Kudos to ROH, great showing, great crowd, great matches. Perfect.

Also, so happy for Kaz and Daniels for breaking free of TNA for this. Great.

ROH and NXT are currently saving American pro-wrestling from being complete shit.

Look on the bright side, at least
