I ditched Squarespace for Wordpress like a month before 7 came out. 6 was okay but it seems to me like they're moving more to being a small business oriented platform, and not so much for blogs. What's so different in 7?

ECW November to Remember 1995
ECW is bullshit. They do the same shit at WCW and WWF, just with blood and bad language. Comedy gimmicks and matches, dance offs, just general fuckery. What boils my blood is Joey shitting on Bobby Heenan so frequently when he makes jokes every bit as corny and bad, except he thinks he's cool while doing his.
Also, wtf is with Squarespace 7? Linked images no longer show up, can't click words but have to use keyboard arrows, spell check doesn't fix spelling.

I hope Raw is 3 hours of Vince berating a cat for being unexcited at a WWE show.

Finally got round to watching Lucha Underground, really great stuff. Not sure how I feel about the TV style promos, but they're interesting.
That's the thing, it's something different, and that's awesome.
I've really enjoyed Chavo so far, which is something I never thought I'd type. The flying Liger kick into the corner in episode 2 was a thing of beauty. I also hadn't realised Mil Muertes was that fast. He still sucks like, but he can move.

I don't remember who it was that hated Mastiff GIF's, but it's their lucky day!

Reigns had to have emergency hernia surgery. He's out 4-6 months and is currently aiming for a return at Royal Rumble.
Daniel Bryan has had numerous setbacks in his recovery and basically has nerve issues that aren't easy to diagnose or predict.
Disappointed at the lower number of viewers, but those Spanish audience numbers are hopefully encouraging for the producers. I really like the show right now, as do most who have given it a chance it seems, so it would be a shame to see it go under because it couldn't find an audience.
Where is my Lucha Underground merchandise? I want to give them my money.
Looks like a typically solid ROH card. I'm oddly intrigued by Lethal vs. Evans. They're both heels, with Evans having a more comedic tint to his character, but they've both been incredibly entertaining this year.
I can't wait to see more details revealed about Final Battle over the next 4 weeks. I hope they start pushing it hard and that we get some news soon about its availability on traditional PPV.
So far, these two matches have been mentioned/confirmed:
-Jay Briscoe vs. Adam Cole (expect a ton of shenanigans ala Cole vs. Elgin @ BitW)
-reDRagon vs. The Time Splitters (awesome news and a great coup for ROH)
If The Young Bucks, The Addiction, AJ Styles, and maybe one more surprise like Paul London or Brian Kendrick can get on the show, Final Battle could be something really special.
Flippy Indy Shit is so damn good. Love that Dynamite Kid influence here.
Does Neville stand a chance of getting over on the main roster, or is he destined to become another Evan Bourne? Creative needs to come up with something for him. I can only imagine how the writers of Lucha Underground would introduce him.

he could get over okay initially, but i don't trust creative to keep coming up with interesting things for him. He'll be Kofi tier before long

In addition the ROH world title match and tag title match, these guys are all signed to appear at Final Battle...
Matt Sydal
The Young Bucks
The Addiction
Jay Lethal
ACH
Hanson
The Decade (Strong, Jacobs, Whitmer)
RD Evans and Moose
Mark Briscoe
Tommaso Ciampa
Cedric Alexander
Fully expecting Lethal/ACH III, Ciampa/Alexander II, and hopefully Bucks/Addiction II. Curious to see who Moose and Evans take on. Maybe some combination of The Decade? Don't see them mixing it up, though.

This is my fear. It just seems like WWE creative puts in the bare minimum effort required for a lot of their acts. I wonder if it's mostly because of the size of the roster and the amount of content they are expected to create every single week. Between Raw, Superstars, Main Event, Smackdown, and planning for a PPV every month, I imagine it's pretty tough to keep things fresh and exciting week in, week out.
That said, I'm looking forward to watching the triple threat on Smackdown tonight, and that doesn't seem like it has much of a story going in. I could be wrong once the show starts, though.
Great pic. Colt looks like he was in tremendous shape. He had amateur experience and I think Punk said that Colt was/is actually a better wrestler than him.

Sorry, StylesClash.
This Ziggler/Cesaro/Kidd triple threat match is totally wasted on Smackdown. It would have been the show stealer on any PPV. Instead Cesaro and Kidd don't even have matches at the next PPV and Ziggler will just be fodder on a team.
I haven't watched Smackdown in months, and all I watched from this week's episode was that match. Judging by the spoilers I missed nothing else.

so this is the type high-octane action I've been missing these past few weeks.

I'm sure that Hogan at the Warriors' game clip has probably been posted and discussed, but, seriously, how the fuck do they not have him mention the WWE Network once. Instead they'll just continue shouting "$9.99" at people who've heard it 1000 times.

Because Vince thought that the guy could be enhanced by taking away his built-in mainstream appeal and putting a Jewy Jewstein gimmick on him, and they didn't want comedy, so they ran with Santino.

As many of you may know by now, I will be sitting ringside on January 4th in Tokyo for the annual Wrestle Kingdom 9 event from New Japan Pro Wrestling and promoted on PPV in the USA and Canada by Global Force Wrestling. My manager Barry Bloom and Jeff Jarrett had been in talks for a good while attempting to come up with a win-win deal for both parties and they finally succeeded. It wasnt until this past Monday, the day before the announcement was made on Tuesday November 11, that Jeff and I actually spoke and that was via phone. It had been 15 years since we last spoke.
I have no idea who will be my broadcast partner even though Jeff and I have discussed it but the decision at the end of the day will be his. Id assume we will know that info in a couple of weeks. Whoever it has has to be a preparation freak because many in the English speaking universe are not going to be as familiar with the talents as the hard core fans who religiously follow NJPW. It will be our job to explain the talents backgrounds, the storylines, etc while not ignoring holds, strategy, the transitions and the basics of presenting each match as if it were a legit sporting event without insulting the audience.

Jim Ross outlining the problems everyone has with the commentary in WWE
Do they give talent backgrounds? Sometimes, but only as it applies to the now and then selectively.
Do they explain storylines? Maybe, unless they're off on a tangent about something else.
Do they ignore holds, strategy and the basics of calling a match? Sometimes you forget a match is even happening if you listen to commentary.
Do they insult the audience? When don't they?

The jokes write themselves.
Put Monsta Mack and Dan Maff in this match to make a Break The Ring Match.
Seriously, they had to use the MySpace angle to make Hero look slim. Or, that's a seriously old picture.

To be honest I think his weird skinnyfatness in that promo pic is a worse look than where he's currently at.
What's hilarious is that Chris Hero was originally scheduled to be in the "Best of the Light Heavyweights" match before they had to switch the card around a bit since Hernandez was supposed to face Joe, but he's stuck in Mexico:
