Ditching JBL entirely and moving Graves up to main-roster commentary cannot happen soon enough.

Hear hear. Graves still has room to grow, but I have no doubt he's going to be one of the best commentators WWE has very soon. He's not as vanilla as their usuals, and nowhere near as abrasive as the others.

Byron Saxton was alright down in NXT, Vince will ruin Graves too by yelling in his ears the whole show

I will disagree on the Saxton point but Graves would get destroyed up on the main roster with 7 people in his ear including vince.

Look at how many people on this very forum proudly wear anime avatars without caring about the implications.

What about those of us with manga avatars, are we ok or should I just turn myself in to the local precinct right now to be safe

Chad Gable is totally gonna be the next Daniel Bryan and I don't know how I feel about it.

The change in Saxton from NXT to Raw is shocking. He actually had emotions and formed complete sentences, one after another last night!

 

[Aiii]

I saw this on my local indie facebook

No, they cheer for them because they are great wrestlers.

Nobody gives a fuck about your flabby ass wrestlers that can't even do a proper clothesline without stumbling over their own feet, local indie fed.

Any interest I had was gone when she did those topless photos.

Let's just say her and Cesaro got something in common

I didn't know that. I'm curious now. Off I go.

EDIT: You'll hear no complaints out of me. It's all good.

 

[Perspicacity]

Do you think we'll get another influx of Japanese talent once Vince learns about Minions and asks to bring in "a bunch of those funny little yellow guys"?

My man. The Patriot was so good.

Fuck yes, this should be great.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Oh, I thought we were just doing BAD indy posters...because I don't think either one of those is bad.

I like Inspire Pro's new poster for their first ever Tag Team Title tourney:

But I'm biased...

But holy shit, how can you not be biased for a company that names a tourney TAGGCADE, with two Gs just because why not two Gs, and names their tag titles the "Twin Dragon Connection" just because, hey, why not?

 

[BronsonLee]

Inspire Pro would be lovely if they had better production, and Brandon Stroud wasn't a lifedonkey

 

[avengers23]

I appreciated OSW Review calling back to Crush and Doink's feud vis a vis Sasha's taunting of Izzy: "SASHA BRAH! YOU MAKIN' KIDS CRY BRAH!"

 

[Bluekaveli]

My man. The Patriot was so good.

He could've been a great champion bit there was no room for him with Bret, HBK, Austin, and Taker. But it would've been nice if he went over The Hart Foundation 😊

 

[Zach]

I'm guessing it's an allusion to Starrcade.

Wife and I are going down to Austin the last week of October, and we're flying back on the evening of TAGGCADE. Super bummed.

In this 6 old man indie tag I just watched, Dr Wagner hit Canek in the dick with a chair.

Taker's still got a lot to learn

I'm mostly in agreement with you on the Stroud. But he is a perfectly fine ring announcer, and the production has improved a lot over the past few months.

The new Battlewars2 show looks pretty great for an indy. New production company doing the video, doing a four-camera shoot, (which is crazy for an indy) and the whole building was re-lit. And there isn't much Stroud on Battlewars 2 either. The backstage interviews kinda look like an acid trip, but at least you can see and hear everybody fine.

This is what Inspire Pro looks like on the new BattleWars VOD, (Forgive the crappy screenshots...it looks even better in motion):

I'd say that's equal to or better than most indy promotions out there. It's perfectly fine for watching the wrestling action. Hell, it looks better than most ROH house show tapings lighting-wise, with their crappy lighting trees, and most ROH shows are only two or three camera productions.

I'm guessing it's an allusion to Starrcade.

Yeah, Their head writer is a huge fan of old Southern wrestling and WCW.

Texas is second only to Mississippi in really bad posters in really crappy small promotions I think. But there are some "big city" promotions that are pretty shocking too...

Wife and I are going down to Austin the last week of October, and we're flying back on the evening of TAGGCADE. Super bummed.

Bummer. It should be a good one. Lots of good stuff on the horizon for Inspire Pro...

oh wow, I didn't realize that was in Austin. I'll go check the show out.

Man, you have been missing out. BattleWars2 was a few weekends ago, and that's the big cross-promotion show featuring Chikara Pro . It was AMAZING, if you like a bit of comedy with your wrestling.

Surely you know there's a difference between posting GIFs and posting GIFs within a minute of them happening on a live broadcast in order to inflate a social media following.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Inspire Pro continues to look good.

 

[klonere]

If it wasn't for Boots gifs I probably wouldn't have subbed to PROGRESS or NJPW World. Or checked out half the crazy old Japanese deathmatch stuff.

 

[sf2fanatic]

That match.. Lol Spur using all them Old finishers

 

[BronsonLee]

New Inspire stuff looks OK. Four cams is nice, as long as the cameramen are good.

Indy lighting is what it is. It's usually bad, but house lights are always worse.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

I can say hands down that jiffing shows is a BIG part of what pushes me to watch the whole show. I never see a jiff and think it's done, and I don't want to see the story behind it. Fuck spots. I'm not crazy about just that. You can't convey context and story in a jiff. I realize not everyone is like me and some people are only watching for the spots, and I agree with Boots that people who feel like they don't need to watch it after seeing the spots? They probably weren't going to pay for your shit anyway.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

I'll check it out, thanks! Better late then never, eh?

Oh yeah. Absolutely. It's a fun and playful indy. Taggcade won't give you too much of a taste of Inspire Pro's singles wrestling scene, or the women, which are a really important part of the show, (since it's going to be packed with Tag Matches for the most part) but you'll get to see a lot of wrestling, and get a feel for the vibe of the crowd. If you've been to a lot of indy shows in the past, you'll also appreciate that the building is a really nice theater, with a full bar, and real pizza, and not a total dump!

Me too. Boots' twitter feed has turned me onto, or simply REMINDED ME OF, so many shows I should watch. I consider it a service to these shows. I definitely watch more stuff because I saw a few spots from them than not.

Sure, but no one's fooled by the carny game of posting GIFs literally within moments of them happening to social media in a desperate search for internet kudos. It's actually kind of weird, and a legitimate gripe for anyone producing content.

If it's really about "promoting" something you enjoy, consider waiting a little longer than 20 seconds to do so. I'm certainly not fooled.

 

[BronsonLee]

I don't buy shows because of gifs.

But then again, I don't buy shows

 

[Look! The Pie!]

For being such a small company, I think these look decent (apart from Havok being centre stage...can't believe they're still booking that piece of trash).

I don't see any issue with it. Is it a way to grab new people and get your shit RTed? Sure. It feels good. But it's fine.

If you follow Boots, you know he is going to be the first out there with a great quality jiff of highlights. And there ain't nothin' wrong with that, dadday.

On top of that, if you don't do it, some other motherfucker will, and probably have a shitty framerate and that's the one that gets passed around.

 

[BronsonLee]

I will never tweet a gif again during a show.

Also Heel is just being retarded, the promotions do it themselves now
