He has the most terrifying moveset I've seen. Everything is either a head-drop, a driver near/on your neck, some outrageously stiff strike or a sloppy ass, dangerous dive.

I guess it worked out for him.

From the curb stomp

To the Psycho Driver

To the Violence Party

To the Barry White Driver

Super Dragon was the rawest motherfucker of the early 2000s West Coast independent scene. By the time ROH was in full swing, he had kind of broken down, but his reduced schedule let him come out and shine in one or two matches a year. He had a brief appearance during the ROHHis performing days are mostly over though.

That's like, my ideal CAW moveset, minus like a Shooting Star or something. He also seemed to have a presence about him in the PWG clips I saw, like a "don't fuck with this guy, seriously" vibe.

Wrestling Is Bullshit: Six Reasons Why Joey Styles’ Joke Was Fucking Awful

Real good article that should be required reading for anyone still defending Styles. It's a shame Wrestling On Earth only really updates for PPV predictions and carny bullshit articles these days.

 

[klonere]

So wait Taker basically said if someone on Team Blue fucks up big time at Survivor Series, they'll have him to answer to?

That's some genius fucking booking there to add stakes to the match for Smackdown.

His move set and the believability that he would actually go after fans. Where do you think the "Super Dragon" chant in the Botchamania intro came from: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=I5MemsJR_Ws

Were there really people in here defending Styles? Cripes.
Dude was unprofessional. There's no grey area here.
If you behave unprofessionally at work - especially in a capacity that has a public profile - you get canned. Period.

 

[Kurita]

Shoot : Mauro is decent a best. The references, "MAMMA MIAAAAAA" etc... need to go away

Btw, haven't watched or followed wrestling in over a week. What happened on Raw and Smackdown this week? Too brain-dead from work and life to look up videos or listen to people talking loudly about wrestling on podcasts like they know anything at all.

 

[kiguel182]

This Brand warfare is some corny as hell stuff but I'm having fun. It's fun and that's what matters to me. Raw is still the inferior show but at least this way I have the Smackdown guys to root for come Survivor Series.

Smackdown keeps being interesting and I mostly care for most of the roster even in this down period where everything is focused on this brand split. Personally I hope they give Rhino and Slater something to do since I feel they were a bit aimless even before they dropped all storylines.

Anyway, team Smackdown all the way. After this just keep them apart until next years Survivor Series.

 

[The Elite]

Are there going to be any Survivor Series pre-show matches? Apparently this thing has a two hour pre-show and the entire card of the actual event is six matches.

Friends, I'm watching Smackdown and witnessing Bayley participate in a group beatdown on Nikki Bella is destroying my immersion.

edit: I see the live reactions echo my sentiments

shoot : if you don't like Mauro you probably won't like anyone not named JR because you live in a nostalgia bubble

Did Undertaker seriously say "Taking souls and digging holes"

I've listened to it 5 times now and I still can't believe it. I can't breathe from laughing

I'm starting to wonder if Alvarez was right on that Becky thing. Since he reported it her talk time has been limited. Even last night on Talking Smack while all the other women got individual questions Becky, the fucking champ got none directly asked.

This image positioning Nikki being as the team captain should have been a red flag in favour of the rumour.

Putting souls and holes in the same sentence means that all I hear is this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aDhAEmODyzw

I love Becky on the mic. This is a real shame.

as much as I hate Becky, her repeating "we're junkyard dogs, ruff ruff" on Talking Smack was hilarious

Well everyone knows you can't draw any money with an Irish accent.

That's why the UFC is dying.

Friends, I want to watch some good Joshi wrestling, any Puro experts got anything they'd recommend? Particularly looking for some good Bull Nakano matches.

Because she's the star of Total Bellas and Total Divas.

Becky is a poser.

Becky is shit.

Nobody likes Becky except for some smark ass basement dwellers. It is nigh time you all accept the reality. Nikki is a better draw than Becky Fookin' Lynch.

Here's a few;

Bull Nakano vs Aja Kong - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEuXwxhyg4o

Manami Toyota vs Toshiyo Yamada - http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x23tzn8

Akira Hokuto vs Shinobu Kandori - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0fIGg4mIUY

Not much backstory needed, Bull vs Aja's a feud-ending cage match, Toyota vs Yamada's a hair vs hair match between tag partners and Hokuto vs Kandori's a huge inter-promotional match with Hokuto defending AJW against the invading shooter Kandori.

Really though, joshi was on such a high level from the mid-80's to the mid-90's that you can pick just about any match with any of the big names and find something awesome.

Dude she's not even really Irish! She was born in Dublin, Texas! It's all a work brother!

 

[klonere]

i get it she did the devil horns once and probably hasn't listened to the new Ulcerate

or maybe she isn't a real steampunk that doesn't own an airship

Becky is probably the best in ring women wrestler on the main roster and is very charming
