. ROH World Title Match: Jay Briscoe (c) vs Adam Cole
. NOAH vs ROH: Taiji Ishimori vs 'Die Hard' Eddie Edwards

. ROH World TV Title: Matt Taven (c), w/ Truth Martini vs Mark Briscoe
. I Quit Match: BJ Whitmer vs Rhett Titus

The top three matches look great, but is it weird I'm most excited for the opener on the undercard? I'm pretty sure that tag match is going to be all kinds of great.

Totally unrelated, but I found some dude on youtube who worked out how to play Tenryu's theme!

BEST THEME MUSIC EVAR! I'm totally spending my weekend trying to figure that out.

Look, Kane is good and all, but 3rd best masked wrestlers ever is ridiculous. A pretty convincing argument for number 3 on the masked, white super heavyweights list, though. I don't really know anyone else besides him and Vader. So I guess he's number 2 on that list.

I had some fucking amazing yogurt covered cranberries this morning. Holy shit. I gave up dairy, but I'm sticking with yogurt and those were so good. So god damn good. I wanted to eat the whole bag.
 
Kane/Ambrose was great.

Come on WWE, give Kane one last monster run. When Kane hit the flying clothesline, then sat there smiling while tucking on the glove, I was shining with joy. BTW, Cole is an idiot. Kane did his version of the throat cut, calling for the tombstone, and Cole says it's a "tribute to the Undertaker". No, it's not, Cole. That's Kane's signature throat cut. See how he keeps the pointing finger extended? That's Kane's way of doing it. He's been doing it since his debut!
I knew I wasn't the only one marking for such things as glove tucking, funnily enough I thought the same thing when Kane did his taunt, granted to Cole's defence he did sort of bother with it in memory of Taker's ass kicking, on the other hand Cole needs to brush up on his riveting Kane lore.

FUCKING LOL

I might just wear that avatar for the hell of it
You'll wear it because you're a Kane mark as Bean Breath proved.

I actually hate Bo Dallas.
I was hating Bo Dallas before it was cool, which would be from the moment someone first posted a pic of his creeper face from the development website like 2 years ago, actually i'm sure we all hated him then as well.

I've hated him since he hogged the spotlight in FCW, and won nonstop matches with his shitty spear. He was full on BOWINSLOL, too, getting beaten up for the match, then winning with a running hug OUTTA NOWHERE.
 
You have greater Bo Hate seniority, he used the running hug as well? it's like he wants to be despised, maybe this is the man who will fully inherit the troll Cena heel turn by being a heel who pretends to be face.
 
CHIKARA spoilers from last night. Looks like a pretty good show with a return and a lot of set up for the IPPV next month.

Nice, I was expecting something like this to happen - I guess
there'll be two F.I.S.T. teams
in the Tag World Grand Prix.

Speaking of, The Young Bucks have been confirmed for the tournament. 13 teams announced, so far.

And another first round match for the AIW J.T. Lightning Invitational Tournament;

That leaves Ethan Page, Louis Lyndon, Addy Starr & Tadarius Thomas without matches, at present.

I think the Bucks were the final team for the Tag World Grand Prix. 13 is a weird number wonder how it's going to work. I'm hoping they have a first round match with Zero Gravity. Those two teams would be amazing together.

Delaney and Shane Page should be good. I used to think Shane Page was the drizzling shits but he's entertaining enough in the ring, and can put on a good brawl. I'm thinking the final two matches will be Starr vs Page and Thomas vs Lyndon.

Yikes, bad move.

Seems hard for people to be creative anymore (if it's them thinking of the finisher rather than somebody like Vince or creative). Throughout WWE, TNA, and others we've seen so many super kicks, spears, or chokeslam variations.

This is one of the best lucha stories ever

This is is a weird story, and only partially a lucha libre one. The FBI and other law enforcement raided an April 7th lucha libre show in McAllen, Texas, shutting down the show and the whole block. They claimed at the time it was due to an immigration issue, but it turns out they were looking for a Reynosa based drug cartel boss (and his brother) who is also rumored to be luchador Imagen II. Imagen II was on the card – but it was a completely different guy who also uses the same name. The non-crime boss Imagen II says he’s been using that name for 20 years, his brother was Image and he doesn’t want to change his name just because someone is also using the name. That first link says local promoters know of at least five different Imagen II in the area!
