Aiii

So not worth it
So for my wrestling related dream tonight I dreamt I was watching fucking Survivor Series.

But the main event was Bryan and Punk vs
PRINCE DEVITT (with Karl Anderson and Bad Luck Fale at ringside)
in a 178-falls-out-of-whatever match. I shit you not. They had like a fall every five seconds and got up to 50-something before I woke up.

I blame WrassleGAF for this.

Crowd was dead for this match, pissed me off.
 
About an hour until awesomeness;

NJPW, "ROAD TO POWER STRUGGLE", 2013.11.06
Tokyo Korakuen Hall

www.ustream.tv/njpw

1. Super Jr. Tag Tournament 2013 – Semi Final: Jado & Gedo vs. Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson
2. Super Jr. Tag Tournament 2013 – Semi Final: BUSHI & Valiente vs. Rocky Romero & Alex Koslov
3. Hiroyoshi Tenzan, Captain New Japan & KUSHIDA vs. Manabu Nakanishi, Jushin Thunder Liger & Tiger Mask

5. Tomoaki Honma vs. Bad Luck Fale
6. Shinsuke Nakamura, Brian Kendrick & Baretta vs. Minoru Suzuki, TAKA Michinoku & Taichi
7. Tetsuya Naito, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Togi Makabe & Kota Ibushi vs. Toru Yano, Masato Tanaka, Yujiro Takahashi & Tomohiro Ishii

Also, on the Japanese website New Japan announced that they would return to the Yokohama Arena for the first time in 11 years on May 25th, 2014! The arena holds 17,000 and the last time New Japan were there was for a Takayama vs Tenzan main event in 2003. Good to see business is continuing to pick up.
 
Speaking of vanilla midgets, I don't recognise any of those UFC dudes, except for Chael and GSP.

UFC needs some star power, stat. Bring back Bob Sapp. Bring in Bully Ray and MMA Double J.

Do you dream in Dutch?
 

Aiii

So not worth it
Do you dream in Dutch?

Depends what I'm dreaming about. I mostly dream in my local language Limburgish, or when I dream about Dutch friends in Dutch and sometimes I dream in English.

Hell, sometimes my thoughts are in English too. It's to be expected when you spend your days on GAF, speaking English to customers at work all day, watch English TV-shows (without subs), play English vidya games and read in English.

Kos, Hashad and Lawler been in the game for years. Lawler is super entertaining:

Roland Alexander, the promoter guy from the Beyond The Mat movie who brought the two dudes for a WWF tryout, died on Tuesday. He was 59. No details are known, but it's believed to be related to the heart issues and diabetes he had been dealing with due to his obesity.

Not really. They're worst PPV's are still doing double of the worst WWE's PPV.

In all reality, I bet your average 30 year old can name a dozen MMA guys before he can think of a guy in the WWE beyond Triple H, John Cena, or The Undertaker. Including Punk and Bryan.
 
Come on man, don't bring logic into my trolling. I was simply trying to say that circa-2013 Bob Sapp trying to fight, or some washed up TNA wrestlers would do a better job of convincing me to watch UFC than anyone actually on the card. But then I'm no MMA fan and, as I've forsworn WWE until the Rumble, I'm no WWE fan either.

I am, however, watching New Japan on the sly at work, so all is right with the world as far as I'm concerned.

Also, The Young Bucks continue to be awesome;

You know, I've been fired and banned from campus. I've wanted to go back and raise a little heck. I relate with Big Show. I even shaved my head to show support. OHHHH HECK YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!





I also had a terrible Russo day dream where Bean Breath and Sunny were the same person. The ultimate SWERVE.
 
Glad to see the Young Bucks being used better by the number two wrestling promotion in the world - it's a shame they never really did well in TNA.

I didn't actually have the dream. It was a figure of speech. I was just thinking of the ultimate Wrasslegaf SWERVE, and that seemed like the biggest one possible to me.

At least your wrestling dreams are about wrestling. Whenever I have one it starts out as a match but then it just.......it.....it turns into porn. Wrestlers just start fucking each other. Sometimes it's two guys. Sometimes it's a guy and a girl. Sometimes it's two girls. And sometimes it starts out as two guys and then one of them magically warps into a woman.
And I never question this shit while I'm dreaming, I just figure it's all a work.

I have seen CM Punk's dick sooooooo many times.

K-1 Sapp in 2005 was actually a semi competent fighter, went 3-2 that year.

i'll always have a soft spot for the man, first MMA i saw was him vs Stefan Gamlin all the way back in 2003.

I have seen CM Punk's dick sooooooo many times.

now you have something in common with AJ.
 
I wish the last dream I had involving Nash was filled with fun times. He tried to kill me.

Still the greatest of Wrasslegaf dreams, that's what you get trying to protect Vanilla Midgets like Bryan from Drunken Hall at the wheel of a car with Nash in tow.

And now I'm reminded of my one dream where Ryback was killing jobbers at my local train station, clearly this was a premonition of Bully Ryback.

I think I've got to force myself to have a wrasslin dream tonight.

Maybe I can settle the feud between me and Taz.

We'll shake hands and I'll swerve him with Bryan Adams hitting him with a bendable bat

You can't just force yourself to have a wrasslin' dream, it's like trying to forcibly create a new mega star in WWE, it just ain't going to happen and you'll just have the Bobby Lashley of dreams. These dreams happen organically and end with HHH about to bury you thus waking up in a cold sweat.

That said Stro has had more crazy dreams than anyone else here so maybe watching tons and tons of WCW is the key.

Does DM pretend he's in the K-mart commercial with Miz popping out of his birthday cake?

WWF Summerslam 1995


Dean Douglas interrupts Vince and King to say he's going to be doing some summer schooling tonight.

123 Kid vs Hakushi

This could be good. Indie standoff. Then another one. Then another. So many stand offs. Kid arm drags his way out of a powerbomb and is caught with a tiltawhirl backbreaker. Handspring elbow. Bronco buster...to X-Pac! Hakushi does some solid kicks and then a Vader bomb. Huge back drop and a spin kick to the throat sends Kid to the floor. Space flying tiger drop! In 1995! In the WWF! It's followed with a flying shoulder block back in the ring. He missed the diving headbutt. Kid comes back with a dive of his own and a sling shot leg drop. Frog splash only gets 2 count. Hakushi wins when he counters a spin wheel kick with a powerbomb. It wasn't very long, but was better than anything on 1994's show besides the cage match.

TO THE BACK. Dok Hendrix talks to King Mabel and is fucking annoying as can be. FUCK MICHAEL HAYES.

Hunter Hearst Helmsley vs Bob Holly

Lol. HHH stalls and gets slammed a few times for it. Bob Holly's mullet was amazing. Stun gun from Hunner. Hard Irish whip into the corner on Bobcore. Knee drop. We get a split screen of the Bulldog arriving in the building. He had recently turned on Diesel. They trade abdominal stretches and it ends with Holly getting hip tossed to the floor. DDT from Bob! Holly dominates for a bit. Pedigree OUTTA NOWHERE! HHH wins. What a Superstars match.

ibbJoiZsK9EI6a.gif


TO THE BACK. The Kid is doing an online chat.

The Blu Brothers vs The Smoking Gunns

Man. Harris Brothers and the Smoking Gunns? So gross. At least Zeb is out there. Mullet/mustache era Billy Gunn certainly gives Jimmy Del Ray a run for his money in the skeeze department. He did an early version of the Fameasser. The Gunns won with the Side Winder.

imMA25REAB8jh.gif


Barry Horrowitz vs Skip

This is a rematch after Barry won his first ever match against Skip 2 weeks ago on Superstars. Barry comes in a house of fire. And wearing suspenders with trunks. I would have watched a Barry vs Blue Blazer match on PPV. But not Skip vs Barry. Sunny is ejected for...something. Not really sure what she did to get thrown out, but she didn't leave ringside anyway. Since this was 1995, there aren't even any good shots of Sunny. As Skip had the match won, Hakushi came out. Due to botched interference, Barry defeated Hakushi last week. Hakushi jumps over both of them, allowing Barry to win with a small package. Despite all these Superstars matches, the match quality is better than 1994. They have a guy in the aisle trying to plug t-shirts before and after matches. This guy has a Barry shirt, and Barry nearly cries that he has his own t-shirt.

TO THE DEAN. Shane gives us the definition of vivify. He goes through the finish of the match and says that Barry was vivified by Hakushi's interference. The ref gets an F for this match. Barry gets an S for slacker.

TO THE BACK. Todd catches up with HBK. But first, we're shown clips of the ladder match from WM10. I always find it weird when I watch 90s WWF stuff and realize that HBK's hair was clearly thinning and receding even back then.

Bertha Faye vs Alundra Blaze WWF Women's Championship

Bertha Faye was shockingly fast and agile for a woman of her size. I just hate Madusa. Now and forever. Bertha won with a sit out powerbomb in a very short match. New champion! JR caught up caught with Bertha and Harvey after the match. Harvey is so gross.

iuWjcmMEEWcIK.gif


TO THE BACK. Barry, Skip, and Sunny were on the hotline.

Kama vs The Undertaker Casket Match

This came from Kama stealing the urn at WM11, melting it down, and turning it into a gold chain. Taker is mad for this match and goes right in on Kama, knocking the shit out of him and throwing him around. Stinger splash! Old school. Kama is thrown in the casket, but exits before it can be closed. Taker tries another Stinger splash only to be caught and powerslammed. They're both in the casket for a bit. Taker goes after Ted, which allows Kama to get out and go back on offense. Taker is knocked on top of the casket and this match is reminding me why I've always hated casket matches. Ted lays the boots into Taker, which makes Paul HEATED. There is some brawling on the outside. This isn't good. Godfather was never a good wrestler and this gimmick match is pretty much always boring. Kama tried a piledriver on the casket. He was backdropped into the ring instead. They both fall in the casket and the lid is closed. So do they both lose? Kama gets everything but his foot out, which means the the match continues. They both get out and the padding on the lid has fallen off. Taker wins. Whatever.

TO THE BACK. Madusa is doing an on line chat. I wonder if someone showed her their dick.

Isaac Yankem vs Bret Hart

I know I did this for one other project, but I guess I can do it again. It's not like I hadn't seen SS94 800 times since I had the tape as a kid and watched it regularly. I wish the DVD release had the pre show softball game that Macho dominated. Kane gets an early lead on the match. Bret gets back into it with a taint buster and a few lariatoos, the last one sending Kane to the floor. Bret tries to Juvi himself on a pescado, landing head first. He stays on offense for a while, using his technical skills to keep the big guy grounded. Kane does a snake eyes on the ropes, with Bret's wrist getting twisted in the top and second rope. Bret corner bump. Always looked so brutal. I had to skip ahead a bit since the DVD is pretty scratched up. I get ahead to Bret being dumped to the floor. He's rammed back first into the post. Kane does a guillotine leg drop with Bret on the top rope, which he pretty much completely whiffs on, but I appreciate the effort of a guy that size even trying it. Lariatoos. Suicide Thesz press to the floor from Bret. 5MOD. Bret locks on the Sharpshooter. King pushes the rope closer to Kane's hand. His hair looked fucking ridiculous. He has a mullet, but with a duck bill on top. It's about the dumbest thing I've ever seen and accentuates a bald spot that might not even be there if he didn't do his hair like that. Kane goes up top and is slammed. Bret ties Kane's feet around the ring post and goes after King. Kane is untied and does a double ax handle to the floor. Bret's head is twisted in the ropes as Kane and King try to literally murder him. Kane is disqualified for attempted homicide.

TO THE BACK. Dok catches up with Razor before the Ladder Match II. Bret randomly walks through the interview. Razor definitely cut a heel promo.

Razor Ramon vs Shawn Michaels WWF Intercontinental Championship Ladder Match

The whole story behind this match is so goofy. Originally this was planned to be HBK vs SID in a ladder match. Someone eventually had the thought that putting Sid in a ladder match was about as smart as putting two guys in their 40s with a history of serious leg injuries in a ladder match. So instead, they plugged Razor in the spot for no real story reason. And then they told the guys that they weren't allowed to use the ladder as a weapon. Vince was really serious about family friendly stuff in 1995. You could get an HBK shirt, poster, and glasses for $21, which is a pretty good deal. Dok Hendrix has replaced King at the announce table. Gross. Of course, the one match anyone would want to watch this show for the one where the disc can no longer be read. HBK won.

i0o6RDCRhlqpV.gif


King Mabel vs Diesel WWF Championship

That's right, HBK/Razor in a ladder match can't be read, but I get to see Mabel vs Diesel. Come on. Mabel does some fat man belly bumps. Isn't Mabel an old woman name? How do you take a guy wearing a parachute and named Mabel seriously? A flying shoulder block sends the King to the floor. Pescado from Nash! Boss Man slam. Diesel kicked out. Mabel does a full weight ass drop on Nash's back, which was a spot that Nash specifically told him NOT to do for this match, injured Nash, and was a factor in Mabel getting let go not very long after, along with crushing Taker's face. The ref was bumped and Oscar jumped in the ring. Lex Luger ran out for a save, but was easily dispatched of. Lex eventually ran Oscar off. Mabel hit a belly to belly, but Diesel kicked out. Mabel misses a second rope splash. Diesel won after a flying shoulder block from the second rope. Title retained.

There was a brief after show segment with Gorilla Monsoon booking HBK/Diesel vs Owen Hart/Yokozuna for ALL THE GOLD.


DQ Count:
1 out of 9 matches.

Even with the main match anyone wanted to see missing, and with nothing even close to the Bret/Owen match, I think Summerslam 95 was better than 94. It wasn't very good, but even the Superstars level matches had better and more interesting in ring action.

I hope it is revealed that Kane had been his accountant for years and was responsible for giving him bad advice that led to Big Shoe being broke. And the bigger reveal that he gave the bad advice on purpose.

This is genius. Was he still Undertaker's brother while this was going on, though?

Seriously though, it was a great match, well worth a watch even if you don't like the Bucks. Also, perhaps this might make up for it, a minute or so of Ishii & Tanahashi kicking the crap out of each other - it's a long gif, so I'll link it; http://i.minus.com/iszfnb3uZRt7k.gif

I'll watch it, paying for the VOD and will sit down sometime in the next couple days. Got a vomit bucket ready.

If anyone will force the Young Shits to behave like adults, it's an NJPW crowd. So upset though...

Aha...about that, lol. I think their post-show promo will probably make your blood boil.

They did take the time to sell some stuff though, so I guess that's the New Japan influence creeping in.
