Watching 2000 WWE and man, why did Jeff hardy have to leave 
- Original moveset. For someone in the title picture anyway.
- Super over
- Great look, even though it wasn't anything special. It was distinctive
- Could make anyone have a good match
- Entertaining as shit balls
- Nice, clean, manageable hair
His only downside was talking, but he never needed to talk.
Come back Jeff

RINGS - VOLK HAN vs YOSHIHISA YAMAMOTO - 1994
haven't done a RINGS match in a while. i try to keep all the RINGS stuff pre-1996, when they began adding more shoot fights. Volk Han, the man. Yamamoto, first time on Straight Shooters, in the yellow shinpads. let's dive right into it. bout begins. Yamamoto stars with hard slaps and a takedown. Volk quickly displays his submission supremacy and locks in a standing heel hold.
Yamamoto reaches the ropes and breaks the hold. both men standing again. Yamamoto tries to strike again but gets caught in the corner. Volk works his magic and locks in an awesome hammerlock guillotine.
new rope escape by Yamamoto. no change in the gameplan, tries to out strike Volk. gets caught again, this time in an armbar and has to resort to another rope break. both guys standing now. Yamamoto rushes in and finally lands a big shot that sends Volk down for the count.
it gets to 8 as Volk Han stands up again. takedown attempt by Volk but Yamamoto lands on top. the japanese warrior works on a tight neck crank. now he got Volk's back, working on a rear naked choke. switches to a inverted STF but Volk rolls out. Volk with the shenaningans, pulls out a banana split submission out of nowhere.
Yamamoto manages to escape. Yamamoto goes for a kneebar but Volk stands up. kneebar battle on the ground. figure four knee bender by Volk. switches to a calf crusher. Yamamoto breaks the hold via the ropes. back up and back on the clinch. Volk grabs Yamamoto's arm. smooth aikido style takedown by Volk. that was some Steven Seagal shit right there.
armbar attempt by Volk, Yamamoto squeezes out. now Yamamoto locking in a choke but Volk escapes using the ropes. single leg takedown by Yamamoto, tries a rolling leg scissors kneebar. Volk counters with an armbar. Yamamoto resists and manages to reach the ropes. action resumes standing. they trade blows and Volk is caught by surprise in a rolling kneebar.
rope escape by Volk. Yamamoto whiffs a rolling thunder. Volk now works on a kimura lock. Yamamoto escapes only to get caught in a an ankle lock. Volk switches position and drags Yamamoto to center ring and locks in an armbar. another ropes break by Yamamoto. single leg takedown attempt by Volk. Yamamoto reverses position and locks in a heel hook, which Volk counters with a kneebar. one more rope escape by Yamamoto. he takes one more shot at striking vs Volk. Volk eats some blows but secures the takedown. fights for position and locks in a seldom seen bicep crusher. Yamamoto can't take it and taps. winner via submission, Volk Han. always something new in Volk matches. Yamamoto didn't achieve much, especially when he went to MMA. arguably his most famous fight was getting TKOed by Shibata in 10 seconds.

Careful with the fan-art stuff, don't want to enrage stro...or perhaps it's only the Japanese fan-art that annoys him, he is a racist, after all
New Japan Cup was a good show - Nakamura vs Davey Boy was an excellent main event, especially considering Nak's apparently struggling with some illness at present, and I'd say it was the match of the night. Lots of people enjoyed Ishii vs Naito, as did I, but it fell short of their previous singles match. Elsewhere, Archer vs Devitt was good, Anderson vs Shibata was great (but could have been longer) and Makabe vs Fale was surprising. Also, the 6-man tag rocked. Well worth a watch, overall.

Yup, $15 for the show on the 22nd and $25 for the Finals on the 23rd.
I used to be a pretty big Jeff Hardy mark. The Swanton Bomb is still one of my favorite top rope moves. Shame Jeff just up and disappeared after being released. I wonder what he's doing now.Watching 2000 WWE and man, why did Jeff hardy have to leave

Jeff better hope he can take that fimmick with him when TNA ends in September....
I really want WWE Network to cycle through old Nitros from the beginning. Those stories need to be told...

I had planned to go on a bike ride today since it is going to be in the 50s and is going to snow again this weekend, but now that I'm up, I just want to curl up into a ball and fall asleep to the vocal strain of Vince McMahon and Gorilla Monsoon. I need some motivation, brotherjackdudes.
If you ride your bike, beautiful women will want to have sex with you!
There aren't beautiful women in Central Indiana. 6/10s at best.

Take a trip to Gary. I hear that place is full of beautiful women.
D- is pretty good, Daniel
This Pillman music video is pretty awesome. No Linkin Park or anything.
Just watched WM 17 for the first time, some impressions from someone who just started following this recently:
People today are waaaay better at the actual in-ring technical action, but people then were waaaaay better at stortytelling during the fight. Triple H vs Undertaker, Rock vs Stone Cold and Benoit vs Kurt Angle were all great in-ring stories being told.
Benoit vs Kurt Angle was also a pleasure to watch due to the all-submission beggining. Great mat action.
Ref bumbs and ref not paying attention was a part of... maybe all of the matches? The Eddie Guerrero match in particular felt like a segment rather than a match due to all of the "uh-oh, the ref is not looking!"
What also felt like a segment, but a good one: Kane vs Big Show (lol) vs the dude they kept squashing. It was just two monsters and a scared guy walking through the stadium destroying shit and there was nothing wrong with it.
Last, but definetly not least: my gawd the commentary was better. Jayzes Chrisnuckle in a basket JR made every one of those matches better. And then at the end he is just furious, he actually feels betrayed and angry.

HBK didn't wrestle with a god damn t-shirt. You have 1 year to prepare for this match, I better see old man abs in San Fran!
Spider from Mars
tap that thorax
Sting is going to dose Undertaker with a bunch of drugs like he did to Juff Harvey so he can shoot pin him and end the streak.
trickster Sting can't fool me!

Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
I'm sure he meant he was watching it on THE NETWORK.
It's going to be amazing seeing Sting in the WWE. It's going to suck seeing him inevitably lose to Undertaker. Sting was such a big star in my eyes, and whilst Undertaker is great, a lot of his 'greatness' seems manufactured in comparison with all the constant ball washing over the past half decade. He's probably the most protected superstar ever.
Greatest WWE PPV of all time. Wrestlemania 17 is so good.

No joke, I'm thinking about flying out there for BOLA 2014. I definitely want to watch a show live. With this new job and salary increase I got, I want to spend more time traveling.

Sting wasn't fond of working with Robocop, lol. Murphy saved him from the Horsemen!
I bet it's something about his religion, having to work with a man who died and was brought back to life by man.
Their parents will.
What does RVD do? Give up pot for 6 months at a time?
It's going to take a lot of WWE (read: Raw After Mania crowd) Magic to properly get Sting over in his introduction.
