Greg and Austin are homeys. They help out with each other's YouTube channels.

I think he meant Vince.

 

[UberTag]

I think he meant Vince.

Man... that's actually funnier. And probably true.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

He probably doesn't know who Xavier is.

He's probably mad that Austin is exposing their method for deciding who to push.

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

So how do you guys think Cena vs Styles will go? I'm trying to be optimistic and I think AJ might get the win of the first match. Cena will probably win the overall feud though.

He's like Mr Burns with Homer.

There's no probably about that.
The only question is whether AJ wins the first match or the second match and how clean the win will be (if any).

I think it's most likely AJ wins the first match seeing how it's coming off the lowest-rated RAW in eternity.
In a perfect world, AJ would get his token Cena win at Summerslam... but that's probably not likely.

1999, you say?

Commemorate the anniversary of Mitsuharu Misawa's death and check out his epic match from June 11, 1999 against Kenta Kobashi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZapUp1eBJY

Or maybe Vader vs. Kenta Kobashi from January 1999: http://www.veoh.com/watch/v251589f5DK8DZy/AJPW.

Break up your misery with classic wrestling goodness.

If puro isn't your thing, you have:

• Silver King and Juventud Guerrera vs. Kaz Hayashi and Blitzkrieg from an October 1999 Thunder,
• the Bret Hart vs. Chris Benoit Owen Hart tribute match from October 4, 1999,
• Psicosis vs. Blitzkrieg vs. Juventud Guerrera vs. Rey Mysterio Jr. from April 19, 1999 Nitro,
• Rey Mysterio vs. Billy Kidman from the March 15, 1999 Nitro,
• Sting vs. DDP from the April 26 Nitro,
• Booker T vs. Bret Hart from the February 22 Nitro,
• Rey Mysterio vs. Juventud Guerrera from a March Thunder, or
• Billy Kidman vs. Psicosis from the March 1 Nitro.

It's painful if you're watching just the PPVs as you have been, but breaking it up with good stuff from the TV shows of the time might help.

Oh, I've been watching Nitro (and parts of RAW), too. I'm in July '99 now. I may check out the suggested Japanese matches, though.

The only question is whether AJ wins the first match or the second match and how clean the win will be (if any).

First win would be for the best, clean too (I'll take a dirty finish as long as Gallows and Anderson don't assist and it's something AJ does). Then again there's always the 0% chance of happening fantasy booking of a no-contest/DQ finish of Balor interfering.

Austin Creed future endeavoured because of Greg Miller would be the biggest e3 swerve of all time

EDIT: I wrote Austin Walker, i'm a dumdum

 

[tm24]

Data, i saw on lucha twitter that AAA uploaded Mesias vs Wagner Jr from Triplemania 17. Probably the best Triplemania match ever. I'm sure youve seen it considering your love of both but what are your thoughts?

And for the rest of you, enjoy!

Damn Lucha on fire last couple of weeks. lol WWE

 

[SallyIsNow]

Was Big Show really that much heavier for the second one? Looks more like the positioning to me.

 

[Adree]

I think the tattooed TM61 dude should get a solo push and leave the other one behind. Both of them need new entrance music and trunks.

 

[Toki767]

Why do the Authors of Pain dress like they were rejected from the Shield? One even looks like he'd be Reigns' cousin.

 

[Rhaknar]

Is Nash tearing a quad in that first powerbomb?

 

[Angry Grimace]

The only dude rejected from the Shield is Chris Hero.

 

[sf2fanatic]

So Matt Hardy is going to attack Jeff Hardy in his home?

hey Blue, I'm here. You think I was going to let you move on?

 

[JambiBum]

When was the last time that WWE did something outside of an arena? Like the Austin/Booker grocery store thing or going to someone's house or whatever. Feels like it's been forever since they did something like that.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Get out of here Dirty Diana

Does Cody throwing the MitB briefcase into the gulf count?


Or Swagger vs Mysterio on the beach?

Ah Damn ! Jericho beat the rock for the wCw championship, fuck. Well I guess he deserves it

 

[Adree]

I wish Lance Storm had a podcast, he's always great with Alvarez.

Does he still have his blog? I remember he used to bury the hell out of tna every week.

I wonder what'll happen next. So exciting!

 

[Bluekaveli]

The inevitable, he joins the Alliance so they can have both titles again. Vince can't even keep his company afloat.

[Angry Grimace]

I have to admit wanting the NXT crowd to shut up a bit. Mostly I don't care about them, but damn they *never* shut the hell up.

 

[Anth0ny]

Watched Backlash 2000 today...it really is one of the best PPVs ever, Super satisfying.

the real wrestlemania of 2000.

what a fucking year, ignoring mania.

 

[Adree]

I have to admit wanting the NXT crowd to shut up a bit. Mostly I don't care about them, but damn they *never* shut the hell up.

Now they'll just sing everyone's theme song each match. Entrances will never end.

 

[Kurita]

Renee and Summer were ridiculously cute in the video

 

[Bluekaveli]

*Snerk*

Watch mane, this stuff writes itself.


But how funny they have a night of Champions and everyone in Vince's company wins..... Hmmmm

 

[sf2fanatic]

Get out of here Dirty Diana

lol

 

[Kaiterra]

The only dude rejected from the Shield is Chris Hero.

Oh I think I get this gimmick now, they're flawed clones of Chris Hero

Bo Dallas getting chased by security around Full Sail is the most recent I can think of. Surely Ambrose did something. There was the time he skipped Raw to visit Coney Island and before Mania he got a chainsaw from Terry Funk but I doubt that's what you're looking for.

 

[Bluekaveli]

lol

Go to sleep Diana, I'll be watching

 

[Kaiterra]

Oh man that was great, with Bo getting in that tiny car and whatnot.

 

[Lightning Count]

Time to catch NXT's newest taping.

No action from twitter regarding the plagiarism.

That stuff is really weird. I wish I knew why people did it. I mean I get joke stealing but that is just crazy.

One thing that has stuck with me from the NXT house show: So Finn loses to a rollup with a handful of tights. Joe rolls out and Finn immediately starts admonishing the referee, getting in his face, being quite threatening.

His heel body languages is 10x better than his face stuff. He has got to be a heel at some stage. Then again, a lot of kids with his merch doing his entrance so he may be face 4 lyfe.

If he joins The Club then he'll automatically get to show those heel chops.

 

[Aiii]

I totally get why people can't resist singing along with Nakamura's theme song. It's my alarm clock and I enter work every day whistling that song.

Best Theme Song Of All Time!

 

[Bluekaveli]

Shane and Stephanie held Linda down and struck her. Why don't they handle their problems off camera? No one wants to see their soft core days of our lives bullshit.

 

[FlammableD]

I love when people come into threads and act like their opinion is the only correct one, and everyone else is lying

/thread catchup

 

[Lightning Count]

I hope his upcoming feud with Nakamura brings the change to heel, after losing he just goes ballistic and goes full on heel. He can start ripping into opponents verbally, complete disdain for crowd reaction or better yet angry contempt.
