Two more...but I can't remember off of the top of my head right now. More to come, because it has to be able to "fill" Universe mode.

Do you have a fav five of wrestling books as I always enjoy reading about the periods I know nothing about?

Stan Hansen's book 'The Last Outlaw' is probably the most comprehensive look at what it's like to be a gaijin wrestler in Japan, I'd definitely recommend that one - similarly, 'Masked Decisions' by The Destroyer is a great read as well with some good info on wrestling in the 60's and how wrestling got started in Japan. The Destroyer became something of a cultural icon over there and as far as I know there's no other English language book that touches on those pre-NJPW/AJPW days. Lou Thesz's book 'Hooker' is a must read for sure, there was a lot Lou didn't like about wrestling by the end of his career, but it's a great look at his philosophy of what wrestling should be. He also goes quite in-depth looking at the history of pro-wrestling in the US, which was certainly interesting. Gary Hart's 'My Life in Wrestling' is fantastic, he was one of the smartest men in the business and gives a very frank account of his life and career. Well worth hunting that one down. I'd probably put JJ's book in my top five as well, unless there's any I've forgotten.

A couple I'd mention as well, Billy Robinson's 'Physical Chess' has some great info on the British catch-as-catch-can style and Billy's time in Japan and then the AWA, but it's rather on the short side. 'The Cowboy and the Cross' by Bill Watts has a ton of info on Mid-South, as you'd expect, but is super preachy and Watts comes across as a bully and has a tendency to ramble on for pages about American football.

You're a grand man and I appreciate the suggestions. I had no idea Stan Hansen even had a book and I'm going to have to look that one up :)

PIZZA ROLLS ANYTIME

Catching up on last night's NXT. God damn Jason Jordan and Chad Gable are fantastic. These guys keep showing their potential to be huge on the main roster.

Jordan & Gable vs Gargano and Ciampa was awesome. Highly recommend watching that match if you haven't yet.

MsChif always took a ton of abuse in her matches, plus she was so flexible it seemed the other wrestlers used to love tying her in knots. Also, she was doing the intergender stuff way before it was cool in indie wrestling, she had a great series of matches with Sydal back before he was in ROH even. In general I don't think MsChif gets enough credit, she was better than a lot of her more well-remembered peers in the ring and had a much more well defined character. Plus, Paige never does justice to her pose & scream on the ropes.

I dunno if it works the same as 2K16 but turn automated rivalries off or you'll get the same matches every single week for two PPV cycle's. It's a hell of a lot more entertaining when everything is truly random as you see some insane stuff.

First of all, bask -- may I call you "bask"? -- there are many A+ matches. But God didn't put me on this earth to grade matches. And secondively, my low grades just prove that I'm never content, always striving for something better.

Rewatching the Gable/Jordan vs Ciampa/Gargano match, when the crowd starts the Angle Gable chants, then changes to include Jordan's name as well, Jordan in the background looks around at the crowd with a big smile on his face, he's so happy to be chanted for. It's great.

Jason Jordan was boring as fuck when he started out. Dude has developed so much. Gable took to it much more naturally. He's been ace from the word go.

Jordan's size and look will carry him far on the main roster. Hopefully Gable won't get overlooked, his ring work is phenomenal and he's pretty charismatic.

I agree with everything. But Gable is tiny and I'm worried about that. And again, I hope they let them tag for a long while.
