October Wrasslin' |OT| Celebrating 20 Years of the YET-AY!

Any of you puroresu nerds hear anything about Kota Ibushi signing up? That's also been swirling around.

Yeah, he's said he wants to do MMA and he does already have a background in judo & kickboxing - plus, his joint contract with DDT and NJPW expired a week or so ago, so not sure what's going to happen there. New Japan generally don't deal with renewing contracts until after Wrestle Kingdom.

“I’ll go on the record as saying Zack is the best technical wrestler on the planet. The things that he can do to a man’s arms and legs make you cringe when you watch it. He bends them into such unnatural positions.

“He’s also an escape artist. It’s hard for other wrestlers to put holds on him, because he knows counter after counter after counter. When it comes to elite talent, Zack Sabre, Jr.’s at the top of the list right now.”

Yup, we ain't shit at hockey and American hockey fans are basically wieners. Hockey sucks. It's basically sweeping your dining room. What skill.

Oh wait that doesn't require skill, let's make them slide on ice on little metal rails. Now we can call it skill-based.

Fuck hockey.

Translation: We're not the best at it, so it sucks. USA! USA! USA!

A few names well worth looking up;

Johnny Saint, Steve Grey, Syd Cooper, Mal Sanders, Zoltan Boscik, Johnny Czeslaw, Terry Rudge, Tally Ho Kaye, Lenny Hurst, Vic Faulkner, Kid McCoy and Sammy Lee (the original Tiger Mask).

Thanks Bootaay. Those are good wrestler names.
 
British wrester named Tally Ho.

Yep

He was awesome, 'Country Gentleman' Tally Ho Kaye always got a ton of heat in the cities;

He used comedy pretty effectively in his matches as well, really threw the opponents and the audience off when he'd switch from silly shenanigans to being an efficiently vicious bastard.

Holy shit is he vapeing??
 
Not into the sport itself but I have nothing but the utmost respect to soccer/football and the players. Try playing a game or two during a quincenera after-party, that shit will get you WORKED.
 
Observer scoopz:

– Blue Pants is done in NXT for the time being. The WON confirms reports that Leva Bates has finished up with the brand and there are no plans to use her any time soon, as she ruffled some feathers over the way she got over with the crowd.

WWE decided to continue using her as long as they did because they knew she would get a big pop for NXT Takeover: Brooklyn. He loss to Alexa Bliss was the planned end of her run.

If that's the case, dumb dumb dumb. Or at least shitty.
 
ROH uploaded a new video hyping their newest signee*

Meltz on the podcast today said Sting is doing well, no negative signs from the injury.

Doesn't know if he'll ever wrestle again though.

As RP912 had mentioned, it sounds like Rollins' hit on Sting didn't take. Rollins is next.

They should have signed her or told her she can't do indies.

I mean developmental deals aren't great and she got over and was able to book indies.

Who owns the rights to WMAC Masters?

The show was out of major syndication for several years following its cancellation, although episodes were run occasionally on UPN and its subsidiaries. It was shown on the 4Kids TV Saturday morning television programming block from 2002 until 2003. The CW, who now operates the Toonzai video-on-demand website (the successor to the TV-based 4Kids TV), now hosts all 26 episodes of the series for free streaming on their website.

shiiiiiiiiiiit!
