The idea that this half rate Taz wannabe could be remotely close to interesting is astounding.
WCW bans the Jackknife Powerbomb because it's too dangerous. JJ, isn't that like... a heel thing to do?
Duggan vs Meng. I want to skip this match because it'll be awful, but I want to watch it in hopes Duggan pisses of Meng and Meng kicks his fucking head in. MENG WINS! FUCK YOU DUGGAN YOUR WIN/NOT LOSE STREAK BULLSHIT AINT HAPPENING IN WCW HAHAHA FUCK YOU

The only thing he has in common with Taz is his hair. Their styles are very different, as are their characters. Ciampa's got a nice war crate now too.

what are you talking about? the post that I quoted was just saying that outside of Japan, only NXT, LU, and ROH are worth watching. I was pointing out other feds.
As you might guess, all of them are former amateur wrestlers. Chad Gable, the guy on the mic, competed in the 2012 Olympics and is apparently a total natural in the ring, even though he's been in wrestling less than a year.
Their best bet for a new Kurt Angle perhaps.

I just finished reading Dan Ryckert's book about the curtain call.

There was nothing to it. It's like a term paper on the subject with very little real information. The length and detail of a magazine article, sold as a book.
He was great when he performed at the last house show I was at, he even went for the ankle lock and everyone marked out.

Can't unsee Punk as blurred Keanu Reeves.
Sami is friggin gold on the mic.

It's probably not for someone who subs to the Observer. It's probably a good starting point from somebody who wants to know a little bit more about the wrassles. I don't know, I'm a fan of Dan's work, but I never read his books :/
Really liked the taste of Mundo vs. Big Ryck in LU's main event this week. And that final table break was hawt. Never seen a table split that cleanly before.
Goddamn. Lucha Underground episode 4 was fantastic. The first 3 eps were great, too, but this one felt like the show running in full swing.
Lucha Underground is the most exciting, interesting, engaging, and unique pro wrestling show out there right now. It's not even close.

Hypest NXT main event yet. They're going to deliver.
Does anyone have a gif of the finishing sequence in the King Cuerno match from Lucha this week?

Yes! I just saw this, and now I want a gif. Super impressive.

I really like what they've done to set up Sami and Nevil. Nevil's never really been heel and simply done everything he took to win whilst showing genuine regret over Sami wanting to quit if he loses the match. Then you have Sami who's put himself in a loser leaves town position but can logically stay with the company no matter what the result is, if he loses he can snap with a heel turn and go back on his word if he feels Adrian takes advantage of him again.
It's such a stark contrast to the Survivor Series main event on RAW where there's no cause or logic for the losing power/fired stipulation of the main event beyond crazy old Vince and there's going to be no meaningful changes if the faces do lose anyway as they all have to stay in the company.

We need more Super Rollups that look like they finish matches. Hirooki Goto has a super rollup he does sometimes with all this leg locking and whatnot that wins matches.
Beats the unbelievably lazy school boy pin. "Oh he has the tights" ah fuck off, this isn't 1960.

Wednesday's episode of TNA Impact Wrestling on Spike TV, the last first-run Impact episode that Spike will air, drew 980,000 viewers and a 0.83 rating.
The Best Of show ratings on Spike will be irrelevant since they probably expect them to do badly, and they will do badly.
Now it's going to have half the potential viewership on Destination America, which is a channel often on a higher-paid tier. Tough times ahead.

Agreed. That leg grab at the end made me bite my lower lip. "Dat rollup."
Wrote a review of Lucha Underground S01 Ep04. Wesker, I stole some of your gifs. Hope you don't mind. Do you make them, or do you get them from elsewhere? Anyways, here's the review:

That whole match was highly entertaining, even if 2 or 3 spots were telegraphed way too much. Hopefully they can work on making all the spots look more organic.
The speed of King in the ring was great to watch. Really impressed.

I make them. I don't care what you do with them.

NXT was forgettable filler this week for the most part after the awesome episode last week, but that main event promo was GREAT.
I don't know if i'm ready for it, but i'm interested in what a heel Sami could be, despite how much of a mark i am for that guy as a babyface

Cool, thanks. I'm just so psyched about this product right now and I just wanna tell everyone how good it is. Feels weird to be excited about a weekly wrestling show in this way.

God damn it pal, I'm back.
I've been gone ten days. A little more than a week. A little more than how long that good-for-nothing CM Punk "left" WWE with the title, and I come back to all sorts of trouble. We have our November OT, still injured by the travesty that was Mr. Pepsi City's October OT, limping along to HALF the ratings we deserve. No offense to Plywood - it's a good OT - but the blame falls squarely on the WWE and our community for losing so many people. I was one of them. Let me dispense a few truths that you need to know that I learned.
1. We are being watched. It's true. I got the boot from something that happened here, in our Safe Place. No Place To Hide. While we may sneer at the people on gaming-side for legitimate reasons, someone out there simply does not like us, so stay vigilant.
2. Omerta lives. We take care of our own business. We must depend on each other and lean on each other and keep our community from eating itself.
3.
That's god damn right. I'd like to propose to the board that I make the December OT. I will fill it with all of the year-end WrassleGAF Fun and Playfulness we all expect. We will be doing the end-of-the-year voting in many different categories, same as we did last year, and I promise - I SWEAR to all of you I will not be banned when it's time to unveil the results. It will be a cavalcade of Stars - one may even call it -OUR- Starrcade. It will be special, it will be fun, it will be playful, but most importantly, it'll be OUR THING. This thing of ours, this community is special and I want to see us continue our long-standing tradition of being the best community on GAF, and we can do it.
I'm glad to be back, and I hope you are too.
Now let me shoot here for a minute. I will be naming names, and yes, this is a shoot.
You all have done a good job keeping the thread up to date with news, and there were many times I wanted to post something in response but couldn't - that's a testament to how strong and compelling our community's content is. Everything from Wrasslin' with Religion from Stro to simplythebest's weird youtube links to Boots' updating of NJPW events, bean breath's valuable contributions, Data West's ruminations on Buff Bagwell and much more, we are a community with a lot to offer wrasslin' fans, god damn it. I want to thank you all for trying to pilot the U.S.S. WrassleGAF.
I fully expect an OT for Larry the Cable Guy on Raw this Monday and to be heckled for it. DM wanted to be the captain, so I'll see how that topic goes. There are too many great members of WrassleGAF to name them all, and there will always be people who are left out of any kind of speech, but I want to thank each and every one of you for making WrassleGAF a place I genuinely WANT to be a part of.
Now let's have some fun god damn it! WrassleGAF sounds like an old peoples' disease or something!

I feel that his promo was top tier. The guy knows how to act, both on the mic, and in the ring. He's just so fun to watch. Even his little dance entrance is just awesome.

2 of those 3 most likely looked like shit so it's probably for the best.

How much is it to go to a Raw taping? Does the ticket come with NoDoz?
Bankers Life website says from $20 and up, but you can't buy online right now for some reason. I can find them for $40-50 else where. I'd bite if it was $20, which would end up around $32 after Ticketmaster charges I think. But now I'll only go if someone buys me a ticket and then I'll do the first Legitshook review of a live show.
