November Wrasslin |OT| Ask Not The Jobber How John Cena Wins

Watching Kane's botch on raw never gets old.

Next week LU starts for real. We get the threeway between Lucha God Pentagon Jr/Fenix and Drago

Bring it on.

Two episodes in, and Lucha Underground is destination programming for me. It's been better than NXT the last two weeks too, so I'd say for at least these two weeks it's been my favorite weekly wrestling show.

Production-wise, there are still a few bad cuts in the edit, but nothing AAA bad, just like a few poor decisions to go to a fast cut when a sustained camera would've been better. Also, the arena lighting/camera exposures/post-production color grade/whatever seemed a little darker in the shadows than I remembered last week, resulting in some pretty crushed blacks. That could be improved without toning down the gritty look they're going for. On the plus side, I noticed a bit less of the GoPro announce booth cam this week, which was a welcome improvement.

And boy, they have done an excellent job casting the women on this show.

Puma can be a red-hot star. Can't wait to see how they build around this guy.

Shame El Rey Network isn't on more screens nationwide/worldwide. This show is too rad to not be all over cable/satellite. I almost feel a little guilty to be able to watch it live. Almost.

starting DDP yoga tomorrow, really hope it goes well

Good luck, man. The key is to stick with it and watch your diet. If you eat like crap, you won't notice the results all that much.

On a random note, I just started a game of Chrono Trigger. First time I've ever put any substantial time into the game or committed to beating it. So far, I really like what I've played and seen. Very unique look and feel.

Man, super excited to watch LU now. I've basically given up on WWE and TNA. Nice of another wrestling show to pop up alongside ROH that I can still enjoy on a weekly basis.

JBL's first run as commentator was pretty good. He and Cole worked well and since they were on Smackdown, they got to say what they wanted.

Good luck, I'm planning on digging into the starting schedule next week if this bug I've got is cleared up by then.

Just by taking note of the diet stuff I lost nearly 20kg over a 6 week period. That shit works and I wasn't even wanting my old shitty foods again.

any suggestions on which workout to start with?

If you got the book, just follow the beginner or intermediate schedule they give there.

Just do the Diamond Dozen on the first day to get yourself comfortable with what's coming up. The next day, just into the Energy workout. It's the entry point and the easiest of all the actual workouts.

LEGITSHOOK PRESENTS



WCW MONDAY NITRO 12/23/96



Go home show for Starrcade.



  • Eddie Guerrero vs Chris Benoit
  • Tombstone vs Lex Luger
  • Rey Mysterio Jr vs JL
  • Glacier vs Sgt. Parker
  • Amazing French Canadians vs Public Enemy
  • Big Bubber vs Konnan
  • That Motherfucker Dean Malenko vs Steven Regal WCW Television Championship
  • Rick Steiner vs Jeff Jarrett

WCW tries to give an early Christmas present with Eddie/Benoit and TMF/Regal. Bischoff does a Roddy Piper promo with the inflection of Richard Nixon. The real Piper shows up and WE'RE OUTTA TIME. Kevin Sullivan name drops Genghis Khan. Ric Flair has to keep the peace between Benoit and Mongo. Rey apologizes to Sting and makes it clear that Sting is really a WCW guy. Also, Tombstone is 911 from ECW.

Starrcade is looking dope. TMF/Ultimo with 9 titles on the line. Rey vs Liger. Benoit/Jarrett. FoF/Outsiders, which means Hall and Nash are going to have to WORK. Eddie vs DDP for the US Championship. Hopefully it can deliver like Starrcade 1995.

Only Starrcade and Nitro the next night are left for this portion of the project. Hopefully 1997 gets update relatively soon.

Lucha Underground seems like a less obnoxious WSX, which is amazing considering their main play by play guy is Matt Striker. Matt Striker is like everything bad about Mike Tenay plus Twitter.
