I mean it's not hard. Jim built PROGRESS' site. Web design is not his profession.

Yeah basic web design in 2016 for what would be a glorified blog with some videos is not hard at all.

Light the hoss lamp!

Shiozki & Okabayashi vs. Sekimoto & Hino. Oh, buddy.

Ishikawa & Nakajima vs. Sato and Taniguchi isn't bad either.

Some of those matchups are pretty mouthwatering.

Except for Taniguchi, who is probably the man with the least amount of talent in the main event scene of any Japanese promotion. Yes, even more than Omega, Data.

Watching last week's NXT, loving some of the new camera work on the entrances. Looks so different to anything else.

I think it's one of those super fancy robotized one man rigs. Range of movement is too great to be a really elaborate crane, they got it right in the corner of the ring. Super super cool. Hope they get it up on the main roster soon and it isn't ruined by the booking production.

Oh cool! I'm keeping an eye out for a shot of it

NXT thoughts :

God damn at the heat for The Drifter. I think it rivals the Red Queen's this week.

The Drifter would be a better character if the guy could sing a lick, but no. He's a poor man's Mark Collie.

Rachel Ellering was green as fuck. I know her power lifting history is legit because of the internet, but if you look at her in the ring you wouldn't think former power lifter. I found this from 2014 :
For the record, Rachael lifted 140 kilograms or 310 pounds in the squat and deadlift, and 70 kilograms or 154 pounds in the bench press, for a total of 345 kilograms or 760 pounds.

Alex Riley pissed of Nakamura and the match ended quickly. If WWE was a fighting game, I think Nakamura would break the balance and be a cheater's character because you'd always win.

I think I slept through Finn vs The Drifter.

NXT was okay this week, hoping next week's is better though with Bayley vs Jax and the tag match.

Lucha Underground thoughts :

Opening and closing segments : Oh shit, this is about to get real again, isn't it?

The undercard this week wasn't that exciting. The Trios match had some interesting story telling, but I would have liked to see them work Mundo's turn on his team a bit longer. I don't know what it is about Taya, but she's annoying. Joey Ryan has a medalian....yay. That match is next week though which should be awesome.

The main event was a slobber knocker as expected....why can't JR call Lucha Underground? Can you imagine his signature calls on these shows? That was one of the most brutal casket matches I have seen. I wish we could have more of these two hosses, but Mil is off to the underworld and Catrina is nowhere to be found. Is this the end for those two? I hope not.

Looking forward to LU going forward....it gets better or stays consistently good each week.

Just watched that Wildkat promo. Comparing it to bad porn acting would be doing a disservice to the acting ability of pornstars.
 
One way to bury your new talent, give them a 2 minute match against each other even though they held the world championships in their former promotion.

Love that the Frinkiac gif thread is bleeding into WrassleGAF.

That NeoGAF Vince McMahon truly is a monster, pretending not to like The Simpsons. Poor guy will never know true happiness.

Who is Frinkiac?

Simpsons is trash tier. Lowest common denominator trash.

A real comedy? Try Frasier. A+, perfect show next to Seinfeld as the best comedies ever.

Catching up on NXT from last night:
I was kind of digging the Drifter's music lol
God damn I mark out to Shinsuke Nakamura every god damn time, chills. Just hype every time.
I like American Alpha but there is just something missing for me.
Bliss has been fun and is getting better and better.
And I still mark out for Finn and love Finn.

I don't get it. Nice resolution on that gif, though. Goes well with that dated show.

Sure, its an older show. But the Simpsons is for the mentally poor. A convenient baby show that any yokel would be familiar with.

Frasier is wonderfully written comedy.

how very dare you

I'm just telling you what the reality is here. Europeans don't really see that part of it. Not all Simpsons fans are stupid, but every stupid person is a Simpsons fan, so to speak. It appeals to the lowest common denominator and everyone has roughly the same amount of fervor over it. That's just what it is here.

Clash of Champions 32

Da Meltz gave the opening Public Enemy vs. Nasty Boys match 3.75 stars. Yeah fucking right. Let's see.
I might've enjoyed that. I think I remember liking it and being like "whaaat?"

But why are you checking out other people's ratings before watching a show?!

That can't be right. Can't be. Public Enemy is one of my most hated teams of all time.
