I've only been reading what others have had to say but, uh, did it go like this?

Referee: 1
Bischoff: 2
Referee: 2... 3.

Or have I been grossly misinformed?

So the ref still finished the 3 count? This is more confusing than the WiiU unveil!

Pretty sure it was Vic Grimes. I used to have another one where New Jack kind of jumps off of a balcony backwards while holding on to Grimes. Grimes then flips off, preparing to take a table bump. But New Jack falls through the table first and Grimes eats a concrete floor. It was the dumbest spot I've ever seen. I don't know how it was supposed to happen or who was supposed to be on the receiving end of the bump but it just looked retarded.

I think I remember that, definitely remember Jack jumping off a balcony with Vic in tow and botching badly.

Also from XPW I remember a 3-way match between Supreme, Altar Boy Luke & 'The Hardcore Homo' Angel - they climb up some scaffolding, a good 25 feet in the air. Supreme tosses Luke off the side of the scaffolding and he crashes through the merch table, he then picks up Angel and freaking jumps off, bodyslamming the guy through a table to the concrete. Supreme was 300 pounds, Angel half that if generous and when Supreme tries to pin him he actually has to force his back straight because the poor guy's body has just recoiled in shock. God, XPW was so dumb.

Another particularly dumb moment is from one of CZW's Tournament of Death shows where some fat-ass named Mr America goes feet first into a garbage can full of glass and light tubes, his leg just starts spurting blood from just above the knee. Also, Necro Butcher vs Pondo in IWA-MS where Necro gets a fucking CHUNK tore out of his arm, like bone deep. Ugh.

I'm also partial to Jack Evans botches. Quite how the guy isn't dead yet is beyond me. I distinctly recall a double moonsault off the cage onto Abyss where he lands on Abyss and because he's too tall Evans spills to the floor on the back of his neck.

No he didn't. He counted one, bischof hit the mat for the fake two while the ref pointed at bischoff and then the ref counted two and sting thought he counted three because he heard the fake one bischoff did.

Kinda weird seeing Jarret lose a #1 contender match. I remember the days when he was the Triple HHH of TNA

Looking at the man and the way he's booked it's hard to believe that 6 years ago he wrestled two match of the year contenders against Kenta Kobashi in ROH and against AJ & Daniels in TNA :|

Yup. AJ jobbed too. Ever sense Hogan and Bishoff came in they seem determined to drive away, job out, fire as many of the originals as they can.

Shane-o did have some talent in him.

I always had alot of respect for Shane and the stuff he did to himself. That respect grew tenfold after his match at King of the Ring 01 with Kurt. Sure just about anyone can have a good match with Kurt. But god damn did they putting on an amazing match, Shane got to absolute crap kicked out of him that night. The Multiple Suplexs through the stage where mind blowing. Plus the huge top rope Angle Slam he took.

Man I miss Shane

Oh hell yes, NOAH announced today that Kenta Kobashi will return to in-ring action on the 23rd of July at the Great Voyage 2011 show in Osaka! It's been over 18 months since we've seen Kobashi in a NOAH ring and while injuries and the wear and tear of the physical Japanese style have taken their toll, I'm still super pumped to see Kobashi back wrestling. Since Misawa's death that connection to old AJPW is something NOAH have been lacking, Kensuke and Takayama weren't enough on their own so it'll be fantastic to see him mix it up with those guys again.

In celebration, here's some classic Kobashi awesomeness;

Kenta Kobashi vs Stan Hansen - (AJPW 07/29/93)

Kobashi has never beat Stan Hansen before, but he's determined to get the upset and has the crowd firmly behind him. Stan's damn near going to have to kill Kobashi to stop him this time;

Toshiaki Kawada (c) vs Kenta Kobashi - (AJPW 01/19/95)

Kawada is well in to his first ever run at AJPW Triple Crown champion, but his toughest test yet comes against Kenta Kobashi and these two just tear it up in this hour-long classic.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fGpLvk604Q

Kenta Kobashi (c) vs Mitsuharu Misawa - (AJPW 01/20/97)

After defeating Akira Taue for his second Triple Crown Championship, Kobashi has to face his old rival Mitsuharu Misawa and the result is one of the greatest pro wrestling matches of all time;

Kenta Kobashi vs Kensuke Sasaki - (NOAH 07/18/05)

Two of the strongest heavyweights to ever grace Japanese wrestling face off here in this hard-hitting and brutal classic;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IryM6jdrCos

Kenta Kobashi vs Naomichi Marufuji - (NOAH 04/23/06)

Misawa's student Naomichi Marufuji gets his biggest singles opportunity yet as he faces Kenta Kobashi in the main event, but while Marufuji is severely out weighed by the legendary Kobashi he's out to prove that he has every right to be in the ring with him;

AJ losing doesn't mean he jobbed. It was all about the story of Ray claiming to be a man and calling AJ a boy in a man's business. In the end, AJ looked like more of a man by putting his body on the line and taking extreme risks to get the victory, while Ray kind of 'fluked' his way to victory.

It's one of those matches where the result doesn't matter and you had to know the full story on impact to really get a sense of it.
 
Let the future endeavoring begin, per the Observer:
List of those released by WWE so far today:

Michael Tarver, who was technically on the main roster but never used

Jacob Novak, who was a regular on NXT two different seasons

Buck Dixon, Ethan Levine and Buddy Stecher, who were all FCW wrestlers

After much speculation Prince Nana has announced who The Embassy's hired bodyguard will be. Making his debut at ROH - Best in the World 2011 live on iPPV from New York City it will be Homicide vs Rhino representing The Embassy!

Actually strangely excited for this - should be an great brawl with a good big man vs little man dynamic. The whole card is looking great so far - Eddie vs Davey for the World Title, WGGT vs KOW vs The Briscoes vs ANX for the Tag Titles, El Generico vs Daniels for the TV title, Corino vs Elgin, Jay Lethal vs Bennett and now Homicide vs Rhino. Colour me hyped.

ROH - Best in the World 2011 $14.95
 
WWE released Michael Tarver and Jacob Novak over the weekend, PWInsider.com has confirmed. Tarver was on the original cast of NXT and was a founding member of the Nexus. After he was dropped from the group, he was brought back for several appearances that saw him standing in the back as the beginning of a re-introduction that never fully happened.

Jacob Novak was part of the most recent cast of NXT, including a mini-feud with William Regal, before being eliminated first from the season.

Edit: Whoops.
 
This is so confusing. Hogan promised Sting nobody would interfere in the match, and yet out comes Bischoff. Then again, nobody said wrestling...oops sorry..Sports Entertainment had to have logic. How TNA is still in business is a huge mind boggler. They've been on WCW 2000 territory for a few years now thanks to Hogan and Bischoff and now they're trying to cross wrestling with motocross, can anyone figure out how they are still in business?

BTW, can next month's thread please be named "Little Jimmy"?
