To confirm my earliest suspicion, Adam Rose's Entrance Theme - Break Away - is now for sale on iTunes.

That's why Stan Hansen vs Andre is such a freaking awesome match - Stan appears entirely fearless in the face of the giant, taking it to the big man before the bell's even rung and the result in they beat the shit out of each other for a good 10 minutes. Probably my favourite Andre match ever, although the Hogan one from '82 is great as well.

Akira Maeda gave no fucks about Andre.
WM is a fleur de lis (for New Orleans), WCW is a....nightmare?
Andre gave no shits about Akira Maeda. Watch Sakaguchi try to take down Andre in 80 before his body was complete shit and see what would have happened to tough guy Maeda.

I'd have liked to see prime Andre slap the shit out of Maeda, fuck that guy.
You had one job WWE.....one job.
So, I need to vent.
I SWEAR TO ALL THAT IS FUCKING HOLY, IF I COULD HAVE A BOILER ROOM BRAWL WITH ANYONE IT WOULD BE WHOEVER THE FUCK IS IN CHARGE IF FUCKING INTERNET EXPLORER, BECAUSE BY GOD WHY CAN A WEBSITE THAT WORKS IN EVERY OTHER BROWSER ON EVERY OTHER FUCKING DEVICE NEVER EVER FUCKING WORK IN MOTHERFUCKING INTERNET EXPLORER.
PIECE OF SHIT SOFTWARE SHOULD JUST GO AHEAD AND DIE IN A FUCKING FIRE. NOW!
Ugh. I love my job, but this shit can be too fucking frustrating sometimes.
-edit: Internet Explorer is the Sin Cara of web browsers, constant motherfucking botches.

he never accepted wrestling as a work and he always felt he was the better shooter in Japan. he wasn't (Funaki or Suzuki could twist him into a pretzel).
funny thing is, he founded RINGS to show how legit he was but it was all worked shoots till the late 90s.
#ImpactHamlet
He actually took a swipe at them an event or two back that was pretty funny. He was talking about how "the NWA is all about wrestling" and "you won't see any nonsense like snakes, et cetera" and then later in the night Ricky Steamboat came out with a Komodo dragon.
He always struck me as like the kid who no one told wrestling was a work, and he thought he was just the toughest guy on the planet because he was 'knocking people out'.
Like, you'd never imagine him trying that shit on Tenta or Gary Albright. They'd fucking flatten him in a heartbeat.
Also, I love all of Tenta's matches in Japan have him working babyface even though he was almost always a heel due to his Sumo background.

Haven't seen that one before, great shot of Inoki.
Here's one of The Funks;
Gotta be one of their first tours of Japan, Terry looks so young.
Oh man that suite is boss. I'd wear that right now.
I work in web analytics and I just love the look on developers faces when I tell them we still have 1.1% of users using IE7... And the rule is that any browser above 1% share must be supported. Some guy wanted to use HTML5 local storage for some page... NOPE!

Oh, this should be good;
I've told my boss flat-out, we're now going to support new browsers only. MS is dropping support for XP, we're dropping support for archaic browsers. If you want the fancy looking websites, with the fancy features, we're going to tell people still on IE7 and even IE8 to update their shit.
I just don't see any reason to cripple the user experience of 99% of your user base, because a few are too shit to update.

The numbers don't lie man. The 1% thing is company policy since it would affect ~40,000 visits per month.
Hell, unless people are editing their user agent for the lulz, we still have quite a few people per month on Windows ME. Somehow surviving without bluescreening.
I suggested this, but apparently we have to be all-inclusive due to it being the public sector.

Hope it isn't quite as interference heavy as Colt/Marty was, I was really burned out by the time that match begun and it seemed to drag on and on.
Wonder if Steen/Marty or Zack/Nakamura will be the main event?

Road Warriors vs John Tenta & Jumbo Tsuruta
I guess Tenta and Road Warriors feuded a lot? Tenta just seemed to be the go-to guy when you wanted a big dude who could work. He's also hella over. Road Warriors look fucking badass. They got on all black instead of the red and white, and they got this clown-ish makeup shit on. Hawk is fucking JACKED. Dude looks incredible.
Tenta's actually pretty slim in this match. It's kind of weird. But let's get to why we're really here
LARIATOOOO
LARIUHH--DROPKICKOOO
So no one in here is dumb like this, but if you're a dummy who thought the Natural Disasters were just fat and weren't freakish strength monsters. Watch this. Not only does Tenta catch Hawk(WHO IS FUCKING HUGE) off the rope, he doesn't stumble, and he puts him in a bear hug. He then has Hawk off his feet for several seconds. Tenta is carrying 6'3" 270(probably heavier at this point in his career. Like I said, he's really fucking jacked) Hawk in his arms with no support THEN powerslams him
DOUBLE LARIATOOO -- Which Hawk no sells. Hey man, old habits and all that
There's a brief couple of minutes after this where Jumbo and Animal do like submission moves and try to make the match technical or something. But then they just go back to cool big moves
Pretty hilarious that Jumbo's the underdog in this match. Like Hawk and Animal beat him up all day but when Tenta comes in, Hawk backs the fuck up
These Road Warrior/Natural Disasters matches in Japan are great. They're short but sweet. They're not super technical. It's just what you would want. It's like they threw Thanos and Darkseid in the ring and said fucking fight each other.
Yeah, though I mean that's essentially what hte Inoki match was too though. Inoki went right after him even if he knew it was like running into a rhino

Are you just like, not able to get it to work in IE? It's not rocket science brah.
Fun Fact: My work website (Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweeping down the plain) has an over 50% IE userbase.
It's not rocket science, but the debug tools in IE are pure shit in telling you what the actual problem in your code is.
I got it sorted now, but it's just frustrating that for every website so much time is wasted just to get IE working. It's gotten alot better than before, but with the entire industry moving to webkit, it's just like Microsoft to foolishly stick to their own shit.

You're foolish.
There's never been a better time to start in life-
It ain't too early and it aint too late!
Starting as a farmer with a brand new wife-
Soon be livin' in a brand new state!
Brand new state - gonna treat you great!
Gonna bring you barley, carrots and pertaters,
Pasture for the cattle, spinich and termaters,
Flowers on the prarie where the June bugs zoom,
Plen'y of air and plen'y of room,
Plen'y of room to swing a rope!
Plen'y of heart and plen'y of hope.
OOOOk-lahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain,
And the wavin' wheat can sure smell sweet, When the wind comes right behind the rainQ
OOOOk-lahoma, Ev'ry night my honey lamb and I, Sit alone and talk and watch a hawk makin' lazy circles in the sky.
We know we belong to the land (yo-ho)
And the land we belong to is grand!
And when we say
Yeeow! Aye-yip-aye-yo-ee-ay!
We're only sayin'
You're doin' fine, Oklahoma!
Oklahoma O.K.!

Not like this.....no.......come on......
NXT was alright. The agent has to book Bo Dallas matches in depth to make him look somewhat decent. No Paige and Bayley is disappointing. The E is juat going to have to pull the plug on The Ascension. MoJo and CJ Parker was absolutely pathetic.
Inoki might have the most enviable career in all of wrestling.
•Mega star in his home country
•Founded one of the biggest companies in professional wrestling today
•Can visit North Korea without permission because what are you gonna do about it
•Mega event in North Korea with him and Flair wrestling. Japanese man loved by North Koreans.
•Handsome, great look in his youth
•Great moveset(manji-gatame, anyone?) and innovated one of the most used moves in wrestling history(enzuigiri)
•Huge event with Muhammad Ali
•Possibly the most influential wrestler on modern day MMA?
•Legend in Japan, outside of just wrestling
•Turns other legends into grovelling bitches when he's around(Chono getting smacked for having shitty fucking Luke Gallows. Maybe Inoki can slap whoever's doing NJPW for putting Bad Luck Fatso in there and for not giving the title to his second coming, Shibata)
