Apparently my computer is going to reset in <5 minutes. I'm trying to keep it from doing that, but it might happen. A shame, I have the biggest viewer count in personal history

Mine did that this morning, resistance is futile. Are you on Windows 8?

WM 24 feels like the last one that was good all around, great atmosphere as well.
Bar a few good matches sprinkled throughout the following years it's all downhill from 24.

Yep! Should be fun. I'll tweet about it but if people are curious I'll throw a link in here. It's nothing special.
I highly encourage everyone to watch Bootaaay's stream - Mania's been overshadowing it, and he has a ton of great stuff.
I really like Veetle's scheduler so you know when to come back if you're not into, say, PWG (but who wouldnt be?!) and you know when to come get some NJPW, etc. Highly recommended.
I feel that somebody should make a BIG WHOOPI-DE-DO.gif

Is that Tokyo Magnum? I just tuned in, and I'm pretty sure it is!

Yep! It's not much of a match, but Magnum's awesome either way. The main event on this one's great, CIMA vs Minoru Fujita, and there's a good women's match too.

A bit LTTP as I'm just watching the last Raw now. First thing's first... what the fuck is with Big E's suit? Are the fucking serious? his entire massive ass is just bulging out of that thing and it's like only covering 2/3 of it. They dont even cut away, he got up on the apron to stop D-bry from jumping out the ring to hit Ziggler and they didn't cut away, this planetary sized male ass right in the middle of the screen.
Jesus christ... this is why teens don't watch wrestling anymore, because of how "gay" it is. It's no longer "cool" like it was when we were in hs, it's gained this "gay" stigma. You turn the channel onto Raw and what do you see? an enormous male ass right in front of you. I have nothing against homosexuality but straight male teens were a huge segment of Raw back in the day and the loss of that demographic has killed ratings. It's unbelievable... how are Vince/HHH watching the show and not realizing a huge mountain of an ass staring right back at them.

Ah that crowd spot is great, love it when people get out of the way
I don't think that's a valid complaint when teenage and young adult males are super into MMA, which is almost always far more homoerotic than pro wrestling. Any fight that goes to the ground is "gayer" than anything non Goldust/Rico/Billy and Chuck related you're going to see in pro wrestling.

Agreed with this point. It's one thing to see male asses around, it's another for them to be in what amounts to the missionary position for quite some time.
People need to get in touch with their inner queer.

Are you serious? They're legitimately trying to beat the shit out of each other in MMA, that fact alone makes it less "gay" and more "cool" to the younger crowd. Not comparable.
Also, they don't wear underwear that shows off half of their ass. (correct me if I'm wrong)

One thing I always love about all japanese wrestling is the abundance of strikes or kicks to the head. Some of the best.

A lot of MMA competitors wear pretty much the same as wrestling tights. If anything it's even more form fitting.

That finish was so nasty;
*edit, Jinsei Shinzaki/Hakushi was so awesome, other than the small feud with Bret how on earth did WWE fail to do anything of interest with the guy?

The only difference between boxing, mma, and wrestling is the booking and the amount of fixing.
They all share promos, managers, and booking. And various degrees of fixing. MMA and boxing even have their own term for jobbers. MMA and boxing competitors will often cooperate with other and make outlandish comments that they don't really mean to drive up the buys from the marks.
If the WWE can't sell a match to a people, it's because of their booking sucking and hype machine being terrible, not because the competitors are not trying to actually harm each other (in theory)

And there's not a lot of sustained ground grappling in WWE and announcers screaming about getting the mount, the rear mount, the rape choke, numerous submissions that feature balls right in someone's face for an extended amount of time, guys pawing balls on accident, dudes literally just resting on each other in the missionary position. WWE has just been completely lame and uncool for about a decade. If it gets hot again, teenagers will watch it again. When it's been super uncool shit for babies and people who watch out of habit, teenagers don't care about it. It's definitely not because sweaty dudes in tights fake fighting is much gayer than sweaty dudes in tights for real fighting.
who that?

Vince has a hard on with showing off their pecks...and man ass apparently.
This is true but the hardcore fans of both sides hate the other side and never will admit they are very similiar.
Also, the breakdown of age groups that watch wwe are this:
23 % of our audience is under 18 years old
24 % of our audience is 18-34 years old
21 % of our audience is 35-49 years old
32 % of our audience is 50+ years old
I was surprised to see a WWE film actually making money for once.

Just finished Raw... not sure how I feel, I guess exhausted. I fast forwarded some of the matches and still feel a bit deflated.
Dana White says Vince wanted to fight him.

McMahon would've whipped that doughboy's ass.

Don Frye talks about Takayama breaking his shoulder & back in their infamous encounter and tells us about the time he choked a steer to death;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ue-RdkKQE7c
This is ahead of AJPW's huge Sumo Hall show in a few hours, featuring Masakatsu Funaki vs Suwama for the Triple Crown, Mutoh & Frye vs Takayama & Kono, Omori & Soya vs Akiyama & Shiozaki and a whole load more. Really can't wait to see this one, Frye & Takayama going at it again should be real fun.

AJ really lucked out in his hood flopping up perfectly when he SWERVED James Storm on Impact. I also liked him taking off on the Batpod in the video package before the match. It's too bad they're ruining what has been a pretty awesome thing with Joe Park by getting Matt Morgan involved. How gross. That beard is pretty awesome, though. Too bad everything else about Morgan sucks.
