Its a shame that WWE only does shows in arenas.
This is great. Thought they wanted to keep the Hogan slam narrative alive.
Still left out the WM3 "93k attendance" myth.
Given WWE's penchant for inflating every attendance they get, even a random RAW, I'd side with the "93k is bullshit" side. They had promised to break the record, so they were going to announce they did no matter what.
I don't mean to drag ComicsGAF in here but this actually made me openly laugh.
Warner Bros. CEO says DC movies are edgier than Marvels and this fun little quote was in there.
Because an invulnerable alien, amazonian from a mystery island, green space power ranger, a guy who's so fast he can run back in time, and a martian need to be steeped in realism. DC movies need a fuckload more FnP in them.

Or that realism = Superman must kill.

Porn parody or bust!
Why do Superman and Batman gotta be so uptight?
Those characters don't have pre-established no kill rules (or in Superman's case, avoiding it at all costs). I'm more accepting of a superhero like Cap or Iron Man who's established at the very start as being willing to off someone in order to get the job done as apposed to shit like Batman where they try to portray him as someone who's above killing but then totally dance around the fact that he just killed someone.

Watched AIW's show from December - a bit on the long side (3 1/2 hours is an hour too much, imo), but there were some fun matches, highlighted by Uhaa Nation vs Josh Alexander and a goddamn slobberknocker between Chris Hero & Eddie Kingston. First time these dudes locked up in over five years and I forgot how much I enjoy seeing them beat the tar out of each other. This match really showed the potential Fat Hero has and Hero is the opponent that brings the best out of Kingston. Awesome stuff.

I'm trying to remember if Hero ever gave Kingston shit for being fat over the years.

Cause they're psychotics who need super villains to give them some purpose in life.

What are some quality Indy promotions you guys could recommend? I'm looking for quality in ring and from a production side of things. Just curious as I enjoyed PROGRESS after all the talk of them in this thread and am looking for something new and fun to watch.
PWG is fun. The shows can be hard to watch in on sitting because it as all-out the whole time. It looks pretty good for an indy and the crowd has a ton of energy which really helps the shows.
You'll have to order DVDs, though. If you want a promotion with more of an online presence you can check out Smash Wrestling. They put quite a bit of content on their YouTube channel and I'll always be happy to see someone support a Canadian indy.

Yeah I watch PWG, ROH, LU, Progress, etc but would love to check out some Canadian feds and I honestly prefer dvds but am ok with downloads too. Been thinking of checking out AAW and AIW lately and may drive up to check out a Dreamwave show soon.
Totally depends on the scale you're looking for. If you're into super smarky, but really, really, really fun matches, Pro Wrestling Guerilla is unbeatable. Ring of Honor is a more "serious" thing, sort of halfway between WWE and PWG in terms of it's story importance. NJPW is the best in-ring product in the second half of its cards.
Heads up though, that production is pretty bad in most independent events tapings. ROH's sound and replays are awful, commentary can be a mixed bag at best (though I do like PWG's commentary a lot).
Go. Have Fun. Boo and Cheer.

Fat Hero is a great future imho. 3.5 hours for an indie show is tough though, that's pretty long.

AAW & AIW are good, although the venues they run are a bit indie looking (especially AIW). For Canadian feds, check out SMASH Wrestling. The building they run is a bit indie looking, but they have some good production on their shows, nice vignettes and match graphics, etc, plus the product is a lot of fun. One of my favourite things about them is that the shows are always really well paced and never go longer than 2 1/2 hours, which is the sweet spot for an indie wrestling show I find.

Don't you think the title should be cloudy with a chance of Reigns?
Why heavy?

So I saw the GF gold banner while visiting a thread, what does it mean? I always thought it was a joke, is it?
SMASH also treats women's matches like they matter, which is nice. They have an all female show coming up in June and I'm sure Data would be happy to know Portia is on the card.

not a joke, it's definitely paid for itself with what's added. easiest sub I've ever made. Gotta PM Evilore about it though if you want it as it isn't publicized.

What do you get out of it? Or I mean what's added.

Inspire Pro's card for the 22nd looks final. If you are a Central Texas wrassleGAFer, you know what to do. (I think front row already "sold out," but they usually release a handful of additional seats when the poster comes out.)
House are whack but fun.

PM Evilore about it, I don't really think I should be citing the specific features beyond the other subforums and enhanced tools
Sunny is trolling you
Sting and Hulk Hogan codes for WWE 2k15.

AAW is the one that's been on my list of promotions to check out. I hear rumblings about RCCW Wrestling.
SHIMMER and SHINE are still out there doing their thing.
Smash Wrestling, ECCW, and C4 Wrestling from Canada were pretty good for a while.
And don't forget at about wXw; the 16 Carat Gold tournament is always good.
