"Triple H and HBK compete in a Triple Threat match"
But who's the third man???

Oh right

I remember getting randomly annoyed they didn't have the beginning of the Rumble match marked for the 2004 event and then I remembered why.

It's one of very few events on WWE Network marked as TV-MA and I had assumed it was because of the winner of the Rumble match but it's actually because of the ridiculous amount of bleeding in the HHH/HBK match. The infamous Eddie Guerrero botched blade-job PPV is TV-MA also.

Most of the ECW stuff is TV-MA too.

Former Germany goalkeeper Tim Wiese's WWE career got off to a 'winning' start in Munich on Thursday night.

Wiese was contesting a tag-team bout alongside partners Cesaro and Sheamus.

The 34-year-old, who won six caps for Germany, also revealed his nickname in the scripted entertainment series will be 'The Machine'.

The former Werder Bremen, Hoffenheim and Kaiserslautern player has packed on 40kg (88lb) of muscle since quitting football in 2014.

Here's a real Wrasslin' theme!
http://youtu.be/4sDMt19MkRk

Beth Phoenix had the GOAT theme and that's a Glamazon shoot.

You knew shit was about to go down.

I think the last Rumble I enjoyed the end of was the Del Rio one, and even that was because of Santino.

Yep that was the last truly enjoyable one, it also had the repeated Orton/Cena teases and brawls to no crowd reaction which will forever crack me up as they tried to be 2001 Rock/Austin.

I've been asking around a few places about what kind of features they want on DDT's new VOD service. Since they announced it a few months early I figured they have enough time to learn what the potential foreign market expects from these sites now that they've been around for a few years. And since I have an in with DDT due to my blog I offered to help them find out. They're open to suggestions but I have no guarantee they will use them.

So from the feedback I got so far fans want English subtitles for promos and video packages but interestingly most do NOT want English commentary (probably to avoid more exposure to Matt Striker). Other suggestions were an English FAQ and a decent tagging system. Is there anything else DDT Universe should have? I was thinking stuff like different payment options and Chromecast support.

Chromecast/Extra apps is the main one. Everything else you can figure out.

I think my favorite part of this thread is Zach talking to Data and never getting a response

Sometimes I wonder if Dato is in on the joke or just thinks I'm a weirdo. I guess now that someone has noticed the gag I can move on with my life.

I'll miss our unrequited love routine, Data West. Goodbye. I'll always remember you.

Paypal would be great, as some people prefer to have their CC info in one place, rather than a dozen places. English commentary doesn't bother me, but I think English subtitles for promos and the video packages would be a HUGE help - that's the biggest obstacle to DDT for foreign fans. The wrestling translates and a lot of the physical comedy translates, but sometimes there's no hope of figuring out what's going on unless you speak Japanese.

I'd like to see an archive or compilation of every Iron Man defence, while I'd LOVE to see DDT put up some of their OOP DVDs - like the 2011 campsite show, which I used to have the Dramatic Fantasia copy of, but now can't find any where and the DVD has long been sold out.

Stephanie and Hunner have "we play a bad guy on TV" note in their Twitter bio. The future right there.

 

[Heroman]

Last one for me was when Cena and Batista did that fuck up at the end and Vince ran in and fucked both quads up at the same time.

2005 I think.

wow....

Iirc That was Brock vs cena one when Vinny Mac torn both of his quads.

Subtitling is a nice bonus and I know it can be expensive, not sure if they could justify it for the ROI they'd get from English speakers.

The only two things I'd want are

- Competent search or tagging system
- Chromecast functionality.

Playlist! For God's sake, these streaming services need playlists.

 

[HazySaiyan]

at this point I'm not even remotely excited about the Rumble. I just know it'll be shit, like in the last 5 years or so.
In fact, the thread shoud be titled like in 2014, "Royal Rumble |OT| Garbage".

NOAH does not

Shoot - Styles clash is a shit finisher too

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Styles Clash is a very theatrical finisher, which always goes over well with a live crowd.

The setup to the move is better then the actual move. I always enjoy that.

 

[Sephzilla]

When you make the crowd and women explode just by flexing, you don't need a personality.

Luger is the most 'I'm over as fuck and I know it' wrestler ever. And it's amazing.

He's only over in his head, especially during his WWF run

It just looks like it wouldn't hurt at all really.

you're falling on your face with no protection, kinda like the pedigree... It's a great move

plus it's legit dangerous

It doesn't as long as YOU DON'T MOVE YOUR HEAD

lol

 

[Data West]

Bro. What? All-American Luger was insanely over.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Bro. What? All-American Luger was insanely over.

He still didn't get as over as Bret, and Bret didn't have all that Lex Express money spent on him lol

I think Lex/Tatanka is one of the most hilarious feuds ever though

 

[Data West]

Bret had WAY more familiarity with the WWF crowds than Luger did. The only person who possibly got more over than Bret during the New Generation was Razor and that was only occasionally.

Their specialty, the Chili Con Carny, was good

TNA still has a TV deal, and now it has white supremacist money.

NOAH doesn't even have Yakuza money anymore, and it lost its TV deal a while ago.

 

[Data West]

I feel like there's poetic justice in BJW thriving and NOAH flopping.

Garbage. Wrestling. Rules.
Matsunaga>Misawa

When it comes crashing down and hurts inside:

Now that Kevin Owens has bought in, he should get his finisher branded with a co-marketing deal with Papa John's. Get that money with the Papa John's Papabomb.

They don't sell PWI in Japan or Mexico, so why should they include Japanese or Mexican wrestlers, right?
