That's Vlad the Superfan. You can find him pretty easily on the first 10 Wrestlemanias and just about every WWF PPV in until the Attitude Era or so. And WCW shows in the New England area.

OK, the 70's roundtable was pretty great - not a terribly focused topic, but some good discussion about the landscape at the time and some of the more notable stars of the era. Bockwinkel's very soft spoken, but has a couple of great stories, while Patterson and JJ are great throughout. Watching the Texas roundtable now.
Who won?

Well one of them is with a fat garbage wrestler and the other is a huge star in the WWE which all the young ladies want.

I love her Mohawk.

I make this mistake every week, need to train my body to remember that wrestling happens on thursday again

Lol, "that patented claw that only the Von Erich's know!" - it's hardly a complex manoeuvre, now is it?

The best weekly wrestling show is Impact dog.

Shitty stuff, like when he talks about a black athlete he calls his wife or girlfriend his "baby's mama" which is just irritating and shitty. Little things, but they pile up, yknow.

So you dropped the "Omerta" stuff already, eh?

Speaking of JR, some tidbits:
On his best and worst XFL experiences: "I do my best to forget bad experiences as one can't do any thing about them. I'd say sitting out in frigid, wet weather was not too much fun. The most fun was simply calling the games on TV. Wish I could call football again but likely that ship has sailed. Executives want youth of which I'm not."
On trying to bring prestige back to the Intercontinental and United States titles: " I Can't speak for the wrestlers. If they perceive that the IC or US titles are insufficient then that's regrettable. Can they mean more? Of course."
On how his blading in his 2005 match with Triple H came about: "How did it come about? It was an angle. It's simply what was done in those days. Not sure of your question."
On how someone could be part of a WWE tryout: "I'm unaware of any open tryouts at the WWE Performance Center without an invitation. You need to get noticed on the indy circuit and then earn the invitation. Good luck nonetheless."

I don't even wanna know what that .gif is about.
Omerta means we're all allowed to be racists and rapists like Michael Hayes, but it is cool because we keep it to ourselves.
I believe Halloween was a big deal in the Hart House.
Excellently execute that ass.

Seems Rocky Romero was also involved in the recent set of WWE try-outs.
Rocky's so awesome, it'd be real cool to see him in WWE. Same goes for Koslov - he's improved a lot since WWE let him go from developmental.

I like Rocky Romero a LOT. His weird bromance with Nakamura is fantastic.

Seems directly more Cesaro/Rhodes ish
But Nakamura is the best thing in NJPW and he should win everything.

You should show that .gif to your Bret Hart loving grandma.
JR is doing an AMA over at r/squaredcircle tomorrow. It will be interesting to see what kinds of questions are thrown his way and how he reacts to them. There was a thread over there today echoing some of the sentiments from this read, so it definitely is not a Wrassle-GAF only point of contention. I just hope he has someone typing for his and doesn't end every answer with "Boomer Sooner".

Shibata's gotta pay his dues...again, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him do well in the G1 this year. He's not winning any of the major singles titles until he's contracted, though. How about a NEVER feud with Ishii?

if shibata doesnt ahve a contract then i can see why they are cold on him

It's kind of amazing to me how much they're protecting Okada.
I get that you want to establish him as a guy who can compete with the veterans... But he's a young champion. He out 'veteran instincts' older guys, he's not even that big, (how much does this guy weight) but he beats guys twice his size with ease.
A young champion is supposed to make stupid mistakes, supposed to lose his title pretty easily even due to his stupid mistakes then come back hungrier. Okada just gets to win win win win win win win win win win lose win win win win win win win win

I thought that place closed down after Hogan left.
It closed down the second he came in
I didn't even know it was a place. I thought Hogan retired for 7 years.
