BJW doesn't exactly use a lot of gaijin, and it has a steady pipeline for now for new HOSSES.

They used Masada pretty regularly for a while.

Okabayashi is the key 1! He literally looks like a giant baby!

True, but it's not like they booked outside of Japan for the Ikkitousen Strong Climb, for example.

How is it that only you mentioned this? I'm stunned. Very important moment in wrestling history. I believe also around this time Super Mario RPG was released in America so that turns 20 as well.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Maybe that has something to do with the fact it sucks.
Like, E&C is popular because they figured out that pandering to smarks would get ratings on a subscription-based internet streaming service (e.g. everyone watching is a hardcore fan). Camp WWE is just swearing and using various wrestler's names.

Without facial hair (and years ago), yes.
And I'll concede Shuji Ishikawa.

How in the hell is a man who is supposed to be dead back two weeks later and fighting? I'm starting to believe wrestling isn't real anymore.

Yeah 13 was underrated in my opinion. The lod and nod match was very fun.
Is this an Offspring reference

Such a great moment in history of wrestling.
I did not know that about the Mario RPG.
It's always great to read the comments from these things and how someone always wants to say ECW/WWE stole from ECW.
When ECW stole from Memphis. And Diesel was the first 'shades of gray' face I can remember.

Is this where Shane tells Linda to shut up? Can someone please link the video?
What did she do?
Strange but true fact about Vince Russo WCW: He was basically shelved because his boss got wind that he wanted to make Tank Abbott, a shitty but credible looking MMA fighter, champion in a fluke battle royale win.
He comes back months later and within weeks of that makes David Arquette Champion. A few months after that, himself as champion. Both of these are far less credible moves. Tank Abbott? Never WCW Champion.

Two days. The average title run in the last three years of WCW is 25 days. A couple of weeks had 3 or more title changes.

If you had a stable/family/faction what wrasslegaffers would be in your group (limit 5)? What would be your group's name?
Ughhhhhh. Going public was the worst thing this company ever did.
Whether they like 2 hour Raws or not, they're going to go back to 2 hour Raws at some point in the future when a contract comes due.
I'll predict that Rollins/Reigns double pin at MITB and that's how they split the Titles.

I'm weak, Marc pulled the fast one.Blue has had a rough day on here getting compared to Dolph and all.
You know what? I'm going to do the right thing.
USA is perfectly happy with the ratings three hour RAWs get, why do you think they snapped up Smackdown and are paying the extra cost to film it live?
Before I hear the ratings are terrible angle again it's simply not the case. Is it a mega show that could compete with the NFL in 18-35 back when most people only had thirty channels anymore? Nope! Is it a constant and proven ratings success in an era where people either don't have cable or have 400 hundred channels. You betcha.
Honestly I bet ratings would be higher and I'm sure the product would be much easier to digest.
Sure they lose out on that money now but right now their average audience tv viewer is 41. In 2000 it was 23 and Vince was having hours that were doing better than Monday night football.
If Vince had those numbers today with a younger audience as rates wouldn't be so shitty.
