Tenryu couldn't even get any AJPW matches for his retirement boxset last year, it was all NJPW & NOAH. No one really knows what's going on with the AJPW rights, other than the current incarnation of All Japan doesn't own anything pre-2012. I'd guess it's a tangle between the TV station, the former owner Shiraishi and Baba's widow as to who owns all that footage.

Zach when you get to Wm 16, that shit is out of sync.

Its the worst.

It put the universe out of sync and helped kill wrestling and turn it into a sub niche product only slightly less embarrassing than writing fanfics featuring fictional tv characters and cereal mascots.

Excellent contrast in image size there Liquid

When did Bootaaay change his name!?

And he's BRITISH!?!?

 

[B Killenger]

Thanks. Doors open at 5:30, should I be earlier than that?

We got to the place about 6pm, the line to get into the venue no problem, but the line was already pretty backed up for Liger. I don't know when people started lining up for the door, but I would probably get there 4:30-5 so you can get in line at the door and then go right to Liger.
Also, we were sitting right behind Liger during the signing part,people were hoverhanding, please don't hoverhand, that is weird and Liger seemed really nice, he would get in there for the pictures.
Good luck!

Summerslam 98 is a dumpster fire, jesus. The HHH DX Band entrance was just atrocious

Man don't even get my blood pressure running. I have PT coming soon but it's one of the worst booked events ever. They stacked the card just to fit the entire roster and it did nothing. And after a lackluster undercard other than the ladder match, you send your crowd home even more Angry. Like I said, the rock needed to win that and they could've waited to have him lose two ppvs after, them have him win it back at Summerslam. But nope they shitted the bed so the family could be the main focus. Shane and Vince's battle got 5 minutes air time while Hunter and rock did who knows what. Leave your dumbass family home and let your workers work.

Say whaaa?

The audio is all fucked up up. It's behind by about 5 seconds. Even they know it's shitty.

Furnace is an underated motherfucker. I wanted more of them and Owen & Davey Boy.

 

[Zach]

Really? That's surprising, being that it's a WrestleMania.

 

[Bluekaveli]

Really? That's surprising, being that it's a WrestleMania.

Yeah I'm sitting here watching Mick get hit and the audio happened 5 seconds ago. Hell, another thing is, the dates are wrong when you get to 99. I wonder if you can report this stuff.




Chyna turned on y2j? Holy crap. For another wcw guy.

 

[miserable]

He had an awesome match this year teaming with Shinjiro Otani (team known as Emblem) against Daisuke Sekimoto and Kohei Sato in Zero-1 if you want to see him killing it in 2016.

Some other stuff from this decade

vs Necro Butcher 9/06/11 Zero-1 (Hardcore match, awesome spectacle)
vs Tomohiro Ishii 2/03/13 NJPW
w/ Takashi Sugiura vs Daisuke Sekimoto & Kazuki Hashimoto 6/01/14 Zero-1
w/ Sugiura/Sekimoto vs HARASHIMA/Yuji Okabayashi/Yuji Hino 6/30/15 BJW (Top 10 from last year IMO)

That should have you occupied for a few hours!

Thanks, i'll check them out!

 

[UrbanDandy]

So, who are the designated Wrasslegaf Tag Teams here?

That band that faked their sex tape for a social experiment is getting a hard push for carny of the year. They even sold said fake tape to their fans for $5 as part of the experiment.

 

[BFIB]

So, who are the designated Wrasslegaf Tag Teams here?

More importantly, who's the Roman Reigns of this thread.

 

[Jimmy King]

I can see that.

Thanks! I have prime seats tonight. Im first row right at the end of the entrance way. I'll be slapping so many hands.

You are suddenly completely in charge of WWE and get to do the following:

- Bring back 5 wrestlers who were future endeavored (must still be active wrestlers)
- Hire 5 wrestlers from anywhere in the world (we'll ignore contracts, etc)
- the cost is you have to get rid of 10 WWE superstars currently active

Curious to see the responses and I need something to read during cardio.

 

[UrbanDandy]

Damn. Why?

More importantly, who's the Roman Reigns of this thread.

Good question.

 

[Zach]

More importantly, who's the Roman Reigns of this thread.

I've already addressed this:

I'll be honest i thought Roman Leakee had weaker abs than that, he should drop the vest.

Shit every time i post on GAF today i'm on a new page, it's a malediction.

You're our Roman Reigns.

Well I can't really come up with anything interesting for the first question so I'll just do 5 from anywhere and cut 5.

Bring in
- Akira Tozawa
- Matt Riddle
- Pentagon Jr.
- Drew Galloway (I guess this kinda fits your other question but whatever)
- Chris Hero (and his bulk)

Cut
- R-Truth
- Fandango
- Goldust
- Curtis Axel
- Bo Dallas

 

[Zach]

Make a Tweeter account just to harass @AskWWENetwork about adding Heat, like I did to harass them about adding more Nitros.

God damn what a HORRIBLE worker.

Saying that, the skits with Teddy were funny.

 

[Kaladin]

We all know if Chris Hero came back he'd be stuck with the Bullfit gimmick in hopes that he would actually lose weight.

Immediately fire HHH
Also fire Styles, and give Nakamura back to New Japan

Hire Pentagon Jr and give him the belt

That's really all that needs done

 

[Zach]

Fire: Uso 1, Uso 2...JBL, Bryon, Cole...

Be still, my heart.

 

[Data West]

I'm trying to think who's gotten released and gotten better, but they snatched everyone back up that improved it seems like

rh: chris hero, bobby lashley, matt sydal, mickie james, johnny mundo
h: fenix, go shiozaki, maximo, fantasma/king cuerno, katsuyori shibata
f: alberto del rio, jimmy uso, jey uso, bo dallas, brie bella, curtis axel, darren young, dolph ziggler, rosa mendez, cody rhodes

the firing part was the easiest part

5 Wrestlers to bring back:

Sandow, John Morrison, Bull Dempsey, Alex Reilly,

5 Wrestlers from around the world:

Can't really do this one cause 3H is making a collection

10 to get rid of:

Uso's, (count as 1 and 2), Reigns, Kalisto, Big Show, Kane, Jack Swagger, Konnor, Mark Henry, and Primo

 

[Kaladin]

IMO, WWE's biggest dropped ball is John Morrison.

Dude is a legit star over on Lucha Underground and would fit right in on the main event scene with the current crop of guys WWE is briging up.

Imagine Morrison vs Rollins, Morrison vs Balor, Morrison vs Nakamura

All would be stellar matchups. They seriously shit the bed when they cut that guy.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Lol gotta love for the hate of Reigns. I wish Gaf was around when Warrior was champion. Wait I already discussed this before. Nevermind.

 

[Data West]

katsuyori shibata could also be subbed in for hideki suzuki

they get the same point across either way

If only Morrison would bother to learn the distance of his fucking Starship Pain. I love the guy, but holy shit was it miserable watching him whiff that week in and week out.

 

[Angry Grimace]

I just want to fire some people.

 

[Data West]

Morrison needs only to look in the mirror to find out why he was cut


and look behind his reflection and see Melina

 

[Professor Beef]

I'd fire Ziggler and bring back Ryback. But if we're including announcers, I'd fire Byron instead.

Morrison needs only to look in the mirror to find out why he was cut


and look behind his reflection and see Melina

She must be a demon in the sack in order for Morrison to have wanted to stay with her.

Spoiler

we could ask batista i guess :mjcry:
