I was watching the intergender six man tag from Kana Pro with Dynamite Kansai, HUB, Taka and some people I don't recognize, and it got me thinking about why this works a little bit better than when a lot of american indys have tried to do it lately. And I think I've figured it out for me personally from what I've seen. In this match, it's obvious there's a size difference, and they play it up. They play up it's heelish for TAKA to beat up Yuu, but it's not like 'OMG SO DARK' and most of the heat is actually from TAKA and Kuuga cheating and letting Kansai get hits in as well. Not just 'oh man this guy is beating up that girl that's a dick thing to do.' It's more, 'this guy is beating up this girl and he's not letting her get a chance because he keeps cheating. what a dick.' which is a much better message in wrestling, in my opinion. Because Yuu got offense on TAKA and Taka is accomplished enough that he can be taken as a threat to this smaller competitor(Yuu) but he's not THAT much bigger than her so it's believable that she can fire back on him. She nails him with several chops, but he gets her back by a poke to the eyes. It puts heat on him, and it makes her look like she could stand a chance. She looks like the underdog instead of the Kimber Lee/Rayna Von Tosh(or Scarlett? I can't remember. Those two are interchangeable) where it's like LOOK AT ME THROW THIS GIRL AROUND ISNT IT CRAZY HOW SICK THESE BUMPS SHES TAKING ARE FOR NO REASON BECAUSE SHES NOT GOING TO GET HER HEAT BACK AND THIS IS CLOSER TO THE FETISHIZATION OF YOKOZUNA SQUASHES ON YOUTUBE THAN INTERGENDER WRESTLING?
That groping shit I saw in AAA(I think?) with Pentagon and Jennifer Blake was just fucking gross though.
Japanese promotions have it too though with shit like POLICE in Oz Academy. But Ozaki can't book for shit, so that's why it's that way.

Oh yeah! There are poems between the chapters, too. So, so bad, man. One is about Dory Funk. It's so weird.

Don't mind at all. I'm going there to study film production. They have a pretty extensive program.
No, for the time being they are a weekly televised hour of lucha libre.
Good stuff, man. Congrats and enjoy being able to attend NXT events on the regular...unless they become a super indie that starts traveling around regularly.
Lucha Libre PPV? My country is poor man.

Thanks. I figure they'd probably still do most of the TV from Full Sail because it has all the setups and such, but even if they don't, I'll be fine. As fun as NXT will be, I'm not going for that.
Good thing, because I'd imagine being in the program is the only way you're going to get into NXT at Full Sail. Those tapings sell out lightning fast, and it's usually people already there that buy them.
I guess you could go to the box office on a day you don't have a ticket for and get one for the next one, but good luck with that.

They sell them online IIRC. Also, according to people who have went to a few, only about half the crowd is people who buy tickets every time.

Currently back on my Attitude era rewatch. Farooq is shooting on no black wwe champions.
EDIT: And Savio Vega has a match with current wwf champ, The Undertaker

I've started to put an opening post together for a 'WWE Network Roundtable' thread in OT, loosely based on the Netflix Club idea where we nominate an event/program each from the Network's library, choose one of the nominations at random and all watch it that week. We share our thoughts and opinions on the show, and generally discuss the crap we've watched. Screenshots and gifs welcome.
Not sure if there should be a 'theme' for each week, so for example
Week 1 - WWE
Week 2 - WCW
Week 3 - ECW
Week 4 - Vault
Week 5 - Documentary
Or it's just a general free-for-all on nominations from anything across the entire library. I'd like to see PPVs and Weekly content available for nomination, maybe documentaries too.

I had no idea at the time that Farooq had been the NWA Champion and came into the WWE with a huge history.

This Owens/Riley stuff is great on NXT
They do sell them online, but once they go online, they're usually gone in short order....and forget about the live event specials.
I went to a taping the day after NXT Arrival. I bought a GA ticket, but because I arrived late (place is hard to find if you're not from there, GPS took me to the wrong spot) I wasn't allowed in until they found seating for me....they oversold. I don't know if that is still an issue.

For Vault stuff, Legends of Wrestling is easily my favorite show there. Good guests, good conversations, and a damn good first hand account of a lot of wrestling history.
Plus it's cool to see all those guys just kicking it, drinking, and smoking cigars while shooting the shit about the "good old days".

Just finished watching the first MitB match, it was alright. Benoit was the highlight, he sold his injury and did some spectacular moves. I started to tear up when he did the headbutt of the ladder and busted up his stitches, knowing what we know now. Shelton was the second best, what happened with him man?

I haven't seen any of that stuff yet, and I can imagine there would be a ton to discuss about after watching it too.

and Jerry Lawler has now dubbed Van Dam as Mr. Monday Night. History has just been made friends I have goosebumps

They put tickets for the next taping on sale at the box office as soon as that night's taping is over. That's why it seems impossible to get a ringside seat if you're trying to buy online.
Are you legit shook?

It's also a nice lineup of those who came close but fell short of breaking through the midcard ceiling of that time period aside from Punk and Jericho of course.
Why do I get the grim feeling that will apply to a lot of this years ladder match contenders?

When he was good, he was good. Now though, RVD lives and dies on his signature spots, which are about the only thing he does decently.

Agree. Imagined Brock, Shelton, Angle all in one stable?
Real Talk:
Shelton Benjamin vs HBK from 2005 is one of the greatest Raw TV matches ever.

That finish.

As much as I like Canadian Hero Bret Hart, his early heel promos on the wheelchair are a little weak

Looking back at WMX8 right now as another WM i've not looked back at since it first aired, putting aside Rock vs Hogan this really feels like a standard PPV card of rather generic matches, being sandwiched between the likes of X-7 and 19 makes it stick out like an overly sore thumb.
But on the other hand I just watched a Rock berating Coach promo and I loved it so maybe I'll check this out for a bit longer....oh Maven has a match, at Wrestlemania, what is this?!

Ah Wrestlemania 18....the year Jericho got shafted by having to go on after Rock / Hogan.
Where aree you finding these Raws? There's nothing past late 1996 on the network which has put my dive into the transition to the attitude era to a stop. Been going through ECdub PPVs instead.
