Thanks for the links, I'll check these matches out later today - just got the full 1979 Wembley show. There's a few guys I'm not familiar with on the card, plus a Steve Grey vs Jim Breaks match, so I'm looking forward to watching it. Don't see too many full shows of classic British wrestling.

No problem. I'm always happy to share them. Sadly so much is still lost to us either due to the damages of time or just missing tapes, but life continues to surprise me by what is being found and uploaded to Youtube these days, so I have hope.

Enjoy the 79 Wimbly. A good solid event, as long as you weren't hoping for too terribly a strong match between Big Daddy and John Quinn. Easy indeed for the crowds to enjoy all the way through.

Edit: Oh God, I love you Big E.
Big E is always amazing on these things, and Twitter. If he was ever pushed I could see him achieve Stone Cold Steve Austin levels of invulnerability to promos. Let Big E be himself and I don't even think Cena could bury him in a promo.
 
The WWE Backstage Fallout video irks me: http://youtu.be/dx4JWEC49WU

Tony Dawson, despite calling many of his matches, acts like he has no idea who Bray Wyatt is. Maddox sorta references that he knows about him at least.

Can we please stop acting like NXT doesn't exist? It's their best show and Cesaro is actually being able to develop his character there. :(

omg Big E. It's a shame how much Creative™ neuters this guy.

"Do you not see this fine plate of kielbasa?" is now my go to response when I don't feel like talking about something.

I know how he kills it on Twitter. Frankly, I'm surprised. You'd think someone like him would be a dumb meathead like Bobby Lashley with zero charisma but he's amazing. I'd love to see him just put Cena under the table with a promo.

Speaking of Lashley, did anyone see him beating Cena for the title at GAB?

Haha, you weren't kidding! Big Daddy finishes him off in just over a minute. Although I did like seeing him perform what I'm going to call the 'Samoan Flop';

I'd love another show at Wembley Stadium.

It's pretty mind blowing that wrestling was ever big enough in this country to sell out Wembley - wish I could have experienced that era, as I doubt it'll ever recapture those heights again.

Fucking LOL at Donst's responses.

Also, Classic Match of the Day;

Kenta Kobashi, Mitsuharu Misawa & Jun Akiyama vs Stan Hansen, Akria Taue & Takao Omori - (AJPW 01/31/00)

This one's the Giant Baba memorial match on the first anniversary of his death. Lots of good stuff going on here, Omori trying to stand up to Kobashi, Kobashi trying to put down Hansen, Akiyama getting his ass beat by Taue, etc. This is about 10 months before Hansen retired and it REALLY showed. Don't get me wrong, he's still awesome and does a good job here, but his knees are so shot he just can't run any more. The first thing he did when he retired was to get re-constructive knee surgery.

Bret and Vince look like an old married couple. And Vince is on the verge of a breakdown/generally hates his wife and is literally biting his tongue for the picture.
 
Following up on Net Wrecker's theory that the gaming industry and whole E3 build is uncannily similar to good old wrasslin I think Gaming side needs one of those end of show mass brawls the likes of which are seen before the Royal Rumble for the night before E3 properly kicks off.
Complete with bans and Jim Ross thread commentary.

Well unless we consider it being like that already, minus Jim Ross.

I just watched the Rampage/Angle stare down, great moment. My only question is, would Rampage be a regular member of the roster, or will he be Brock Lesnar who only shows up when he wants to and only gets the big fights?

I think he is going to be a part timer, he also signed with Bellator recently to fight for them, so I don't know how this is going to work out with TNA.


This is also from a recent interview

Brand-new pro wrestling moves? "I've got this move I've got in my head, I call it 'The Helicopter,'" Jackson said in an interview after the press conference. "I can't go too much in specifics because I don't know if I have the strength yet, but if I can pull it off, people will remember it."

Crossing paths with "King Mo" Lawal? "Mo's an MMA fighter and a wrestler, I'm an MMA fighter and a wrestler. So me and Mo, we're talking about teaming up and being tag team partners in TNA. Me and Mo, we didn't see eye-to-eye in the past. I thought I was going to have to put a whuppin' up on Mo, I ain't going to lie. I thought I was going to have to whup up on Mo. But Mo's actually a cool guy."

Summerslam 92 makes me so jealous. I wish I could say 'I WAS THERE', but instead all I can say is... I have that on VHS...

Oh MAN. QRJ and "King" Mo Lowall teaming up will be so awesome. Especially because you just know it will end up being the biggest tag team breakup since the Megapowers exploded, only they'll actually end up shoot fighting because QRJ and "King" Mo Lowall are real ath-a-letes.

I love how Bo looks the same in most of those gifs.....except when he's trying to keep himself from corpsing.

he's not corpsing, Big E's words are like an icicle in his heart. he is...and I do declare this without a shred or irony or ridiculousness...

LEGIT SHOOK.

jmdajr, nope those captions aren't fake.

jmdajr, that was basically the entire promo.

jmdajr, you live at home with your mama.

No sir! But my wife is a mama though. And my little girl does have the jammies with the little feet on there.

I often do not smile while waking up, horrible morning person.

Well the little one smiles, that helps!
