November Wrasslin' |OT| flipvember qdl flipvember

The period before the G1 when he did nothing knocks Omega down a peg.

The Tanahashi match for the vacant IC title was excellent, especially considering how banged up Tanahashi was at that point. I liked the Elgin matches as well, but Hero as the touring indie guy has generally had more opportunity to impress while Omega's gone whole tours booked in multi-man tags.
 
Matt's actual ring work hasn't been great. Some of the most phenomenal vignettes of all time though.



Rumours that all the top wwf brass believe but are too scared to ask. If they scoffed at the very notion that'd be one thing, but the speed at which vince would always shut down ideas of a savage return just made them believe it more.
They actually included a bit on the rumour during Macho Man's dvd from a year or two ago. I think it was his brother who talked about it. Prichard talked about it as well debunking it on his show.

There's so much in that debacle between he and vince. The round table, Vince not doing the favour of adding his father to that one battle royal, Macho Man deflecting and taking the slim jim sponsor with him, etc.

Didn't Lanny do a podcast where he kind of said he thought it may have happened?

Prichard is the worst source for anything ever.

Because that's a thing that's done in any job, much less in the corporate world?

The point is that they believe it, because of all the things other people have done and that vince welcomed back later. Yet savage was always shut down by vince immediately.

I think even meltz believes it.
 
The Billionaire Ted skits pay off when Scott Hall starts referencing them from the moment he 'invades' WCW, because it still makes him look like a WWF guy.

Pretty brilliant actually.

who's the most in denial :
-people who think AJ Styles won't win wrestler of the year
-Hillary fans

Real answer

- Nintendo fans who think Nintendo isn't screwing them over

Hillary fans at least have some reason to be upset since she pretty definitively beat Trump in the popular vote

Jeff Cobb is about to start working Evolve which is awesome. It means he's only one step away from WWE and you know Triple H and Regal have an eye on him.
 
He probably will in the observer too. Dude's just not having bad matches. He's gotten great matches out of roman reigns and james ellsworth.

I'm still torn on whether to vote for naito or aj. naito's been doing better promos, but aj's in ring has been better, and his promos are much improved to the point they're no longer a millstone around his neck.

AJ Styles basically went next-level after being done with that fucking Jericho feud. He went on to have fantastic matches and - with the exception of Cena - everyone he had a great match with was easily below him in terms of wrestling talent (Ambrose, Reigns, Elsworth)

Speaking of Hero, Midwesterners owe to themselves to drive out to an AAW show. Great atmosphere, great matches. I had no idea I needed a Trent vs ZSJ match in my life but they went ahead and had the match of the night.

Oh and Mustafa Ali had his farewell performance because he's presumably doing fulltime CW work for WWE. So you can look forward to another excellent performer getting squashed by Corbin on a screen near you.

Depends where, here he will win cause wwe is the most popular promotion. Places like the observer he might not.

AJ improved a ridiculous lot in the mic and didn't have one single bad match. His performance is always great each and every week, and even though he is small and new in the WWE he still made it to the top of the world's biggest wrestling promotion. He's at the top in and out of the ring. So much success and improvement in so little time.

Don't get me wrong, there are great wrestlers with great accomplishments out there, but if there's one person that is deserving of the wrestler of the year title, that person is AJ.

So how is everyone's Black Weekend going? My haul is small so far. I got the Harry Potter complete movie set for $35 and got menu priced Dominos at half off. Made $40 worth of pizza $20. I'm also going to do an Amazon promotion where you can get $10 off $30 of books today.

My problem with AJ is that he has a worse year then last year, out side of his Nakamura match none of his matches have been half as good as the ones lat year but that not really his fault. Also I hate the Ellsworth shit.

I want to buy Dragon Quest Builders, but Sony doesn't want my money (they keep saying my credit card is invalid even though it isn't). It's amazing how many hoops Sony makes me jump through in order to buy their products. This time I won't follow through though.

I do too, but can you imagine any other wrestler handling it as well as AJ? He actually made no chin music look strong and was able to tell the story on why he lost.

For you to lose to James Ellis without looking like a chump, you need some SERIOUS talent haha

Money more than anything, also I knew I could sell the Progress ticket but also knew there was no way I'd offload the XWA one - friend of mine's a huge ECW fan, so he really enjoyed seeing Dreamer. I am proper gutted though, especially seeing everyone's mark pics with Riddle. He looks like such a lad. Or bro, I guess :p

The XWA show was, as you'd expect, pretty standard family show affair. Paul London came out and had a bit of a sing song, followed around the arena by an army of small children. He also kept forgetting he was on a family show, which was amusing. I saw Doug Williams in McDonalds. Hornswaggle got a ridiculous pop and MVP was far more over than I expected. Crowd humoured Toyota & Sakura, most had no idea though. Also, got to see Jody Fleisch do his springboard tornado DDT.

Oh, and Bulk. Have you had the pleasure of witnessing Bulk? He's the most aptly named wrestler I've ever seen. Him and his tag partner did the Steiner brothers pose and getting up off his knees was the closest Bulk came to doing anything remotely strenuous.

But he looks like a chump cause this fued has gone on for way to long.

Yeah, he's had an excellent year, but very few standout matches. His SummerSlam match against Cena is the only one that jumps out.

He might be in the discussion, but he hasn't really separated himself at all from his peers this year.

Friends, is there anything worth watching on No Way Out 1998? It feels like an entirely skippable show. Like they thought "oh shit, we have a month between the Rumble and Mania, what do we do?"

The eight man tag sounds interesting, but I have zero recollection of it.

Cagematch tells me he had a 1PW match I think I may have seen, can't remember. Sounds about right, I've managed to avoid shit tier workers for the most part!

No chance Riddle doesn't come back in Roddy (or I hope, more Ciampa) style. So so so over.

You mean you don't want to see an NWA title match on a WWF PPV featuring Jeff Jarrett vs. Justin Bradshaw?

Picked up Castlevania: SOTN; Mega Man Legacy Collection; Grow Up and This War Of Mine as part of the Xbox sales (a friend also bought Far Cry Primal and Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2). Not bad, but not a huge amount.

That whole angle is laughable aside from them trying to plug the NWA like it's the nWo and anyone could join at any given time, tune in next week to find out who is next!

The worst ppv of the entire year.

He did have a quiet couple of months at the beginning of the summer but he's had a great year overall. Beating Tanahashi for the IC title and that ladder match with Elgin ain't nothing to sniff at.

Besides, the simple fact he's the first gaijin to win the G1 Climax automatically makes him worthy of contention IMO.

#SHOOT: Watched Predators over the weekend. Wasn't as bad as I remember, in fact I kind of liked it.

It's always funny when WWE said 'what a dumb move' having Schiavonne give away the results for Foley winning the title on Nitro when they gave WCW free promotion EVERY WEEK

Both WCW and WWF were really stupid in this regard. They were too busy bashing each other to realize that they were basically giving each other free promotion. Bischoff in hindsight seems to be really aware of this, and even said he should have let DX into the building when they invaded Nitro

His matches with Roman were better, made him look like a million bucks.

Hope he's in the SSS16 next year, or at the Unboxing show next month. You going to that? Kinda excited and also kinda wary of getting too overhyped at the whole mystery aspect of it
so hoping Hero comes over
