[TheRook]

Continuing this theme, who's your favourite fictional video game pro wrestler, GAF?

It's a tie between AKI Man or Wolf Hawkfield first me.

El Blaze, Scorpion and Black Widow(ring of destruction),Ramon(king of fighters), La Mariposa(DOA), Jaycee/Julia(Tekken), Poison(Streetfighter/FinalFight).

So I'm working on a little project, I'm trying to compile a list of female characters in games(starting with fighters) that use a Frankensteiner or Hurricanrana as a move/attack. Not sure if there is a thread already for this sort of thing so I'd ask first.

Here comes the PAIN!

Sonya Blade?

 

[Bluekaveli]

I don't care what anyone says but Taz's excitement over moves is very enjoyable.

 

[Professor Beef]

Is this one of those polls that they share on reddit to get their fave in the number one spot?

It wouldn't shock me to learn that DM is a Redditor

Regardless of how you feel about any of this talent in 2016, it's hard to argue against Rollins as the #1 draft pick. He's the youngest out of everyone in this list. He's versatile. He's got a great look. He's incredibly talented and adept on the mic with the proper booking.

I think Owens is better "right now" but Rollins would still be my top pick of I was building a roster from WWE-signed talent. (I'd have other names at the top of my list if I was looking outside of the company, however.)

He was a good hype man.

His best work was Bork vs Eddie at No Way Out 2004.

 

[Dark Ninja]

How many people has Vince hugged disingenuously.

 

[Bluekaveli]

WCW HAS BEEN PURCHASED! BY Vince !


Damn Jeff fired already? Lol

 

[Browny]

WCW HAS BEEN PURCHASED! BY SHANE!

Bwahahahaha! Buckle up Blue, it's gonna be one hell of a ride!

 

[DMczaf]

Seriously, the Seth Rollins 24/7 is fucking great.

Then you realize they used his 6 months of rehab to put Roman over...

 

[Discotheque]

yeah the 24/7 was dope. seth's a pretty good dude, a lot of those wrestlers respect him.

it was cool seeing the home movies.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Bwahahahaha! Buckle up Blue, it's gonna be one hell of a ride!

I'm excited to see the invasion play out as an adult to actually see the faults that have been pointed out. I didn't notice anything the first go around so we'll see how my opinion changes.

 

[TheRook]

[Bluekaveli]

Data, is there an English translation guide for WK2?

 

[Adree]

They really never should have let Nia Jax talk

Asuka already a great promo.

 

[Nekofrog]

you shoe bee?


love you asuka

 

[Adree]

I hope Tye Dillinger is getting the call-up in the split. He has that great mid-carder for life look.

 

[Bluekaveli]

I wonder how did the guys who jumped ship to wwf from WCW feel when it was announced that Vince purchased their old company?

Also apparently King was in discussion to join them lol. Luckily he avoided that.

 

[miserable]

anybody seen the recent Sugiura - Shiozaki match? how was it?

 

[MC Safety]

you shoe bee?


love you asuka

Asuka is as great as contract signings are not.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

They really never should have let Nia Jax talk

She really doesn't have an intimidating voice does she?

 

[Data West]

Nia Jax is the most timid looking 'monster' I've ever seen.

Just awful. They need a fresh injection of female talent on NXT stat.

 

[Angry Grimace]

She just doesn't look scary despite them acting like she does.

All I'm saying is she got completely out-classed on the mic by a tiny Japanese girl that speaks no English.

 

[Lightning Count]

Yeah her in ring and promo skills do not match up. In ring she has the right style for an effective monster heel but her promos need a lot of work.

 

[Lightning Count]

Really hoping American Alpha retain at Takeover they are my favourite tag team right, Jason Jordan in particular has future star potential as a solo performer.

 

[Jamie OD]

Nia Jax is too nice. You can tell she is happy to be taking part rather than being angry enough to tear someone else apart.

 

[Aiii]

Nia Jax is too nice. You can tell she is happy to be taking part rather than being angry enough to tear someone else apart.

I'm gonna get shit on, but the problem is the way she looks. She looks like a regular (slightly overweight) person. Maybe it's the outfit but when you're that size, you need to have at least some arm and leg muscles to give the illusion of strength.

Either that or you need to become massive ala Rikishi and become a spectacle like that.

Say what you will about Kevin Owens, but at least his arms and legs look muscular and you can imagine that under that layer of belly fat is a bunch of muscle just hiding out.

 

[Lightning Count]

Sit here down with some tape of Awesome Kong and have her take notes on how to realise her full potential.

 

[Nekofrog]

can i say how much like music asuka's angry japanese woman yelling was

She sorta reminds me of Akeem...

(Minus the beard, skin colour etc - you know what I mean...)

 

[Lightning Count]

Akeem makes me think of Raiders of the Lost Ark - specifically John Rhys Davies character.

 

[Lightning Count]

Watching NXT- Tye Dillinger is so over right now, but it's hard to see him as more than a mid carder.

 

[FlammableD]

Matt Striker thinks sexual assault is ok

so did wwe and the wwe announcers

 

[Browny]

Lmao. Oooh that reminds me of the fancy poster I need to purchase...

Insert obligatory Ric Flair gif here.

exactly what i was thinking

That punk girls in gaming thread. Oof

What's happening over there?

 

[Data West]

they're back

 

[Lightning Count]

USA chants directed Asuka.

Disgusting, maybe one day these flag waving idiots will learn, I doubt it though.

 

[klonere]

anybody seen the recent Sugiura - Shiozaki match? how was it?

It was...fine? NOAH have murdered their crowds in the last year, remember we got the incredible Sugiura/Suzuki around this time in 2015 which was hot as fuck. Instead we have our two fellows this time battling to an uninterested, small and unlighted crowd. They tried very hard but because the reaction was so weak and NOAH have failed to make this match feel big by extending the Suzuki-gun storyline for far too long, it felt over-wrought and a lot of the closing sequence felt unearned.

Which is ironic considering Marufuji wasn't involved in the match. Why they didn't just move on to Marufuji vs Shiozaki after DESTINY last year is beyond me,

 

[British Monsoon]

NOAH's coasting on fan loyalty at the moment, not sure how much longer it can last - the Suzuki-gun stuff started hot, but has gone on for way too long and the pay-off has been largely unsatisfying. Kill it and send anything of value to New Japan.

 

[Lightning Count]

Nothing is a shadow of what it once was, not sure if they recapture their previous form.

 

[Data West]

bootaay i think this gif captures our conversations on general japanese wrestling promotions

you be danny havoc

 

[Lightning Count]

This makes me wish WWE would add the WCW/NJPW shows from the 90's. Unfortunately I think licensing issues prevent it.

 

[FlammableD]

It's probably time for my yearly "find some stupid lighttube matches on YouTube" period

 

[Lightning Count]

This reminds me, is CZW still a thing?

 

[British Monsoon]

Well, could be worse, at least I'm not Masada. Do you think the BJW guys ever wonder why all the US deathmatch workers are so shite?

This reminds me, is CZW still a thing?

Yep. Here's a highlight video from the last year;

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMfFndQUIGo

 

[Lightning Count]

It seems they have somehow gotten even more trashy than I had remembered.

 

[Data West]

Everyone should watch the last 3 matches of the most recent AJPW card even if you don't watch AJPW or much puro outside of NJPW. 3 certified bangers.

Takeda shocked me at how good he was at wrestling. Aoki was his usual awesome self, but Takeda was so quick and had zero problems keeping up with Aoki while being ridiculously over and playing to the crowd. They even worked me with a spot. Takeda was working Aoki's back, Aoki went to do a suplex, Takeda held down and Aoki basically crumpled to his knees. Then Takeda went to suplex him instead and Aoki went over like he was gonna land on his feet but flopped halfway thorugh. And I was like 'botch' but then I thought about the suplex spot and was like, 'oh my god he's selling!'

The last 5 minutes are beautiful. It's just Takeda trying to get out of a submission, only for the technician Aoki to turn that escape into either a pin attempt or yet another submission. At this point in the match, Aoki has taken over completely and you can tell there is no escape for Takeda. And the crowd is going crazy.

I hope they have another match. I loved seeing Takeda in a traditional wrestling environemnt against a strictly wrestler 'no gimmicks' type like Aoki. Who is probably the most underrated wrestler out there right now.

[British Monsoon]

Don Fujii and YAMATO just had the least Dragon Gate-like match of 2016, wasn't amazing or anything but, what with the slower pace with YAMATO working from under Fujii and everything being based around strikes, it really stood out.
