I like that his signature stance is never putting his arms down. Like he's always ready to catch a basketball.

Paul Bearer hasn't actually died ever.

Edge was never sent to hell by the Undertaker.

HHH wasn't hurt after falling a few stories in a car from a crane.

Vince was never put into a coma.

That's not what I was saying at all. Ryder worked the absolute best when he was on the periphery trying to pretend he was relevant. Actually making the show about him and putting him into main events Poochie'd the crap out of him.

Guys used to be able to be in undercard and still successful ffs.

It depends what you're after, but there should be something for every wrestling fan on the indies and in Japan, if you don't mind the lower production values and greater focus on in-ring storytelling. Here's a few promotions well worth checking out - big post incoming;

CHIKARA is one of the best promotions in the US at the moment, PG wrestling done right, with a lot of crazy characters, some comedy and lots of lucha and Japanese inspired tag wrestling - check out their youtube channel, specifically the Podcast-A-Go-Go's which feature clips of newer matches and sometimes a full match from CHIKARA's past; http://www.youtube.com/user/CHIKARAoffice and you can purchase shows on DVD, VOD or download via http://smartmarkvideo.com & http://smvod.com

PWG is a fantastic promotion out of LA, the focus isn't so much on storylines but more on awesome in-ring action with the best west coast talent and top stars from across the world of indy wrestling - they don't have any full matches available online, but put up preview highlights of every show, here's one of the latest 'World's Finest'; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgrofR92ITU and you can buy their DVD's from http://www.prowrestlingguerrilla.com/

Dragon Gate USA is the US wing of the Japanese Dragon gate promotion, with it's style heavily influenced by multi-man lucha libre and the Japanese super juniors style. With a roster of some of the best indy talent in the US and Dragon Gate stars, pretty much every show has some matches well worth watching. There's DVD trailers and backstage stuff on their youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/dgusadottv and you can buy their shows on DVD, VOD and iPPV via http://wwnlive.com/

EVOLVE is the sister promotion to DGUSA and shares a lot of the US talent, but in EVOLVE there's a greater focus on up and coming talent and a big emphasis on win/loss records. You can check out DVD trailers on their youtube http://www.youtube.com/user/EvolveWrestling and purchase DVD, VOD & iPPVs from http://wwnlive.com/

ROH is regarded as the biggest on the indies at the moment, as they have a weekly TV show you can view online at http://www.rohwrestling.com/ (you have to sign up for a free account) and the roster includes some of the best wrestlers in the world today.

As for Japan, it's relatively easy to watch full shows online and a wide variety of promotions and styles - here's a few recent awesome matches;

Kensuke Sasaki & Kento Miyahara vs Colt Cabana & Eddie Edward - (NOAH 04/22/12)

Hiroshi Tanahashi, Hirooki Goto, Tetsuya Naito & Karl Anderson vs Kazuchika Okada, Shinsuke Nakamura, Masata Tanaka & Yujiro Takahashi - (NJPW 04/21/12)

Yuji Okabayashi vs Takumi Soya - (AJPW 04/21/12)

Shinsuke Nakamura vs Karl Anderson - (NJPW 04/05/12)

Kenny Omega (c) vs Shigehiro Irie - (DDT 04/01/12)

Daisuke Sekimoto vs Yoshihito Sasaki - (BJW 03/26/12)

Shinjiro Ohtani vs Daichi Hashimoto - (ZERO-1 03/25/12)

Nanae Takahashi (c) vs Meiko Satomura - (STARDOM 03/20/12)

Tiger Mask & Great Sasuke vs Atsushi Onita & Ihciro Yaguchi - (RJPW 03/16/12)

Finally, there's some internet PPV's upcoming that a few of WrassleGAF will probably be watching live;

If I wasn't going to a concert on May 12th, I would probably do a three way split screen between the ROH, CZW and Evolve iPPVs all at the same time on that night.

Plywood, what are your thoughts on the impending return of Sin Cara?
Click to expand...
I can only hope that he has been humbled enough to remove head from ass. My hope is for a Cara/Rey tag team that later breaks into a feud that ends as a WM match.

While PWG is great wrestling, it also has the best crude humor that Vince wishes he could do on television

It's a shame Balls Mahoney never wrestled Kane during ECW's mid-2000s revival.
We'll never know who would have won in a contest between the Christmas Creature and Xanta Klaus. :(

Did you know that Balls Mahoney and Kane were roommates at one point?

BTW, I love you guys, lol. Sorry, I couldn't find a way for a Kane pun in that statement.
