In the end Stephanie and Vince still have to approve of everything so if something sucks (which is pretty much everything except Punk and Bryan/Kane) the blame really should fall on those two.

Doesn't matter who the writers are while everything still has to go through Vince.

Oh, he 100% pushed for Nattie Neidfart. It would not have happened if it weren't for VKM.
That was awesome.

While I was out, the WCW Archive got some updates! See, I was working! Here's a few notables from the mess.
Judo Sawa vs Juventud Guerrera, 7/8/98 WCW Thunder
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lG1QAPNdcnc&feature=plcp
Those Two Shitbags (aka Public Enemy) vs Shiima Nabunaga and Tokyo Magnum (amazing)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiqGOPpoR98&feature=plcp
Always loved Tokyo Magnum. He's fantastic, even on strange American soil.

Seriously, Tokyo Magnum was forever awesome. Thanks for the links, I saw barely any Thunder back in the day.

I've got a pretty good collection of Thunder, looking to add more to the archive. Thunder, sort of like Nitro's B-Show, had a lot of really cool stuff on it, but it was after WCW was already dealing with the bloat of Nitro's 3 hour shows. So they had to fill it with some talent - which was something WCW was never lacking in.
Apparently fighting back against a crowd that is out of control isn't as big of a deal as we thought.

I dunno what it is, but it's a weak spot. On the real though, it ain't about attraction why I like Tokyo Magnum. He's just EXCELLENTO.
Heh, never mind me, judge free zone here. :lol:
After all, according to this thread I'm into girls that look 14-years-old.

Yeah, a week ago this place went batshit for something AJ did, some ref outfit, but I never saw. Did she look like an adult there? To be fair I like Beth Phoenix from a looks perspective. Matured.
It was the same outfit that she wore at Money in the Bank.

Beth is indeed lovely. She looks like she could rip your dick off if you got on her bad side, though;
THQ had a WWE '13 event last week.
Seriously, this photoshoot is just the weirdest matchup of 3 wrestling personalities you could have.
OH AND LOOK, AJ got to play as herself for the first time, how cute is that:

That's my weakness. Had I enough money when I was a kid and read The Wrestler, I'd have sent off for some of those apartment wrestling videos where people get abused by women.
No doubt that has a strong factor in my weird sexuality BUT THAT IS NEITHER HERE NOR THERE.

I wonder if AJ plays on PS3 or Xbox.
She has both, a DS and a Vita.
But primarily she plays on her 360. (booo)
And yes, I know these facts by heart. I am a sad, sad person.
Actually she did an interview with PlayStation Magazine, they send her a box full of games afterwards.

Man, AJ's arms look monster size in that bottom photo. An interesting development.
Two of them live in the greater N.Y area, AJ has the nerd/videogame cred that wwe has slapped on her.
If this means anything, JR put out a tweet talking around the Punk-fan incident and mentioned that they didn't have their monitor feed at the moment.

As far as storyline goes, CM Punk getting suspended right now would be incredibly interesting...

Anybody in here watch real wrestling? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyHh7ZsuO3w
pretty much the best match ive seen this year, could watch over and over on repeat

I just watched RAW, really enjoyed it - and as much as I dislike Punk as a person for all of the bad impressions I hear from fans that actually liked him and he treated like crap, it's too bad that he didn't clock the actual asshole that hit him. Fans need to chill out with that nonsense about hitting entertainers. Really too bad that an innocent guy got hit for that instead, which even made the incident worse.

Slammiversary was the high watermark of TNA this year, unfortunately (and incidentally that match wasn't even my favourite from that show). They earned a ton of goodwill back from me with that and the improvements to IMPACT when they went live, but Destination X and No Surrender were bad.
I think Jeff Harvey winning the BFG series killed the last remaining hope I had for the company.
What.... its just TNA. Excellent for TNA but it's still TNA.
Your best bet would be to talk about Metal Gear Solid. You're welcome.

Yep, don't watch much TNA though.
This is probably my match of the year;
Kazuchika Okada (c) vs Hiroshi Tanahashi - (NJPW 06/18/12)
*edit, hah - I just noticed the version I linked has an English fan-dubbed commentary! Cool for those who have trouble watching Japanese wrestling without being able to understand commentary.

TNA is the best wrasslin promotion in America right now. Mostly because every other one is shit though.
That is until WCW comes back.

btw - while I was out - watched the NJPW show. Holy christ what an amazing high water mark to drive their sales. Amazing, I hope it's profitable for them - that puts butts in the seats.
If it is I wouldn't mind a good english commentary team as well. :x

Wrestling in the states is at a low right now quality wise, plus there a general lack of interest to people to go out any buy tickets.

Yeah, it would be nice to have English commentary, even if it were just some of the wrestlers or bad Engrish commentary. The international sales weren't stellar, but I think that can be attributed to the time and day. The next potential iPPV is on Sunday the 11th of November, which would make it a lot easier for international customers to watch.
Overall, it did about 52,000 buys in Japan and 600+ buys internationally. Ustream takes half of the $25 purchase price, so while I think that should be enough to convince New Japan that there's a viable market for their product overseas, the numbers would probably need to rise a lot more before they considered investing in the international broadcast.
