Well I had a very tough weekend, attending the funeral of my Granny who was the first really big loss on that side of the family.

I downloaded a bunch of 93 AJPW to distract myself on the train to and from the whole affair. Shockingly enough 93 AJPW is pretty fucking good at taking your mind off things, nothing like a couple of thousand Japanese people screaming their throats raw at two dudes beating the shit out of each other.

I think I am getting a better appreciation for when pundits talk about modern wrestling sometimes not looking like a fight. This stuff is messy, chaotic and feels "real" I suppose.

Hmmm, I wonder did Jim J use a live band for some of these songs. The saxophone is Val's song sounds too authentic to be computers especially in 98. I know he used the live band for DX and Triple H's "My time".

Thanks Fox. At least Cesaro is still employed.

I wonder how much it would cost to get a copy of all the AJPW stuff Ditch has on his site.

That's $35 for a single year (not including shipping) so going off some incredibly rough math I think it'd probably cost close to $900 for the whole lot easily hitting a thousand with any shipping costs.

Damn shame to hear that Death rolled up your grandma, klonere. :(

It was a quick, painless rollup mercifully Beef. No drawn out storyline where she had to linger around in a home for years on end, waiting for them to write her off TV.

Man, sometimes I wish I could line up some of the incompetent fuckers in my office and go full-on hamSteiner on them...

Sorry to hear about this, but at least you're finding a positive in there. Stay strong.

Sorry for your loss klonere. That is never easy.

On another note....

Friends, I have to survive a week and a half with no internet and TV. Thank god for unlimited data...but I've got to try and live with one device on a 6" screen.

Look at this as your gateway to freedom. A test run for an existence without the shackles of catching up on one's stories, if you will.

Living with 6"? My heart bleeds for you. Some of us struggle on with nothing more than a tiny.....

Wait a sec - misread that.

Carry on. Nothing to see here.

Ahgoddamnit.

My mom essentially gave me our home as a wedding present and she moved up to NC to be closer to some of her family. Well, she moved out over the weekend and I'm home alone for a week and a half. We turned off the internet and TV last week and I'm trying to wait till after the wedding and honeymoon to go get the internet I'm going with turned on. We won't have a traditional cable TV deal. I'm going to be signing up for Playstation Vue when we get the internet turned on.

Wow, thanks for all the kind words guys. I won't shit up the thread by individually replying to all of you but I have to say it warms my heart to see some folks who argue about this carny sport be so nice <3

If you had to explain Wrestling in a GIF, what would it be?

Not really a great example but....

"Wrestling isn't that that fake stuff? Like you know its fake right?"

I believe that is a metaphor for all of life, not wrestling.

See all you shoot fans, this is how you snatch the quick pin - you gotta lure them into a false sense of security instead of just going for it while they may be on high alert.

On another note, I finally watched Creed over the weekend.

Goddamn that was a well booked angle. I was rooting for the kid in the last fight even though I knew how it should end and my gut feeling was right.

I was just happy
Rocky didn't die

I don't really make threads any more, but this gif question would be a good one for the OT. Maybe even add the caveat of "non-wrestling gif" to see what people come up with.

I'd worry that thread would get frowned upon in the same way list threads get frowned upon

It encourages a lot of no effort spam posting

Click to expand...

It just seems like a silly thing to frown on when the "no effort spam posting" can easily be just as on topic as a more thoughtful list. Those threads tend to die quickly and the OP typically gets the answer they're looking for in them. I've never seen the problem.
