Southside just ran Nixon Newell and Melina vs Kay Lee Ray and Alex Windsor
the finish was a no contest
after the 4 women and the referee brawled into the swimming pool in the venue

So sometimes my #Lapsed brother sends me random old matches, right? Well he just sent me some Mid-South match from here in the great state of Oklahoma -- young, gassed-up Rick Steiner vs. Koko B. Ware with Jim Ross doing play-by-play. Notable: whoever the color commentator is said Koko's hotdogging was "a little bit of that blue-eyed soul".
Yup.
Yup.
Every so often I start to get annoyed with Jack's high pitch laughter at jokes JP makes which actually don't deserve it and I think, maybe these lapsed guys aren't the be-
And then something hilarious comes along and I really can't resist. Yeah, they are up their own ass, and yeah, they exaggerate things on purpose to make it seem like they really love themselves when they don't, which is a little annoying in its own way, but you can't deny these guys sometimes hit on some really funny runs in these deep dives on PPVs.
Also, I'd be kidding myself if I said like, 50 or 60 hours into listening to the podcast, 'nah i don't like it.'. Of course I do. I turn off podcasts I don't like after 15 minutes.

I agree with this, too bad they already used the "banned from ring side" stip with Ric.
I just hope the head guy in NXT and Haitch don't try to be clever or over think it and absolutely no false finish off the damn O-Face/Total Eclipse or whatever it's being called now. Just let Ember be the one who "breaks" Asuka then send her to Smackdown and tone down her unstoppable shtick by about 50% so she at least appears beatable.
I agree. I really do enjoy so much of it. Like, they've gotten me interested in pre-96 wrestling and that's a tall order as you would probably guess, Zach.
The Summerslam 92 and surrounding Bulldog and Diana Hart saga. What a tale.
I've just started that episode. You should watch the event if you haven't already.
They're just gonna have to shoot her.
Not shoot as in real fight, either. Like, with a gun.

They shoot a bullet at her and she just flips through to put it in the Asuka lock. She's a killing machine
I watched the Bret v Bulldog match and it was a slobberknocker. I didn't watch the rest of the show yet though - I might, having the background on it, it's interesting to me.
It has opened my eyes a little though. I thought of wrestling pre-96 to be:
- Devoid of storylines
- Devoid of workrate (i identify pre-96 with either hogan or flair, two guys who are unastounding in the ring, or with out of shape brutes with hairy chests I have trouble even looking at for 20 minutes)
But that doesn't seem to be the case. Maybe I'll start digging into some old fashioned Macho Man stuff, and also - Jake the Snake. My dad always loved him when I was a kid but I didn't really know who he was, and I hear so much good about him on the mic and as a heel that I think I should do myself a favour and get to know Jake The Snake a bit better.

The Diana Hart excerpts in that TLF are just insane. It's more ridiculous than you can possibly imagine.
dub cee dub?!
I had no idea while watching Summerslam 92 as a child that I was watching a story of drugged up anal rape and crack smoking....

I remember some of the stories in her book from excerpts I saw years ago, like the one about drugging and anal rape (an idea given by Dynamite to Davey or something wasn't it?) and fucked up shit like that but I think it got pulled from people threatening to sue.

Please check back later.
TNA will outlive us all.
TNA is literally being funded on a show by show basis now. Jeez. I think they can go lower while still existing as a company.
I never understood why Dean doesn't just bounce off the rope, that actually looks like JBL got momentum.
To be fair, JBL's clothesline >>>>>>> Dean's

I like the idea of the reason JBL is constantly shitting on Ambrose is because he hates his weak-ass clothesline, not because he's a lunatic, maggle.

And Dean will still have a longer run at the top, friends. And he doesn't have to murder people with clotheslines to stay there.
Nope. Let her wipe the floor with everybody she hasn't fought yet, then retire her unbeaten and switch her to a manager/trainer role. Alternatively, heel turn with stable, reign of terror and everything until the top face can finally dethrone her at WM and get super over. I don't want to have such a high workrate for her anymore, considering her age. On the other hand, AJ is four years older than her and can still go...
But I actually think Ember Moon will defeat her. It's what you expect and most likely will get. Not a big deal. Having Asuka in the main roster is a great thing in itself already. Let's just hope she doesn't get a shitty RAWesque treatment with cliche-pandering or something (shudder).

Safe to say Sweeney, I'm disappointed that story didn't end with a finishing move of sorts.

The Unanswered Call is a classic finisher. See the years TNA has went with ignoring late paychecks, or the time Heyman acted like his phone blended in with background music on the set of Rollerball while ECW talent on the other side of the country found out he was broke and the company was done

All I ask is that they don't drag the Ember Moon vs Asuka fight out until 'Mania weekend because I don't wanna see Asuka have filler feuds with Liv Morgan or Billie Kay for the next five or six months.
Its to early for that match. Thats a wrestlemania match with their history. If I had a guess its going to be a 3 way with her against team Australia.
Cause if I had to tier the current NXT women in wrestling skill it would be like this:
Asuka
Nikki Storm, Ember Moon
Peyton Royce and Billie Kay
Liv Morgan, Daria, Mandy Rose and Aliyah
That sell is amazing tho

With MMA being so hot I'm surprised they aren't focusing on Daria more.
She looks like she can fuck anyone up.

I hope they change up her gimmick. We've already got a hip hop Jersey girl in Carmella, and in both cases, it's just lame.

Mandy Rose killed Total Divas ratings. NXT gotta watch out. /s

Best part was when she left the messages clearly intended for Tyson Kidd.Only bit I've seen of Total Divas is a segment where Natalya left Stephanie like 40 voicemails complaining and threatening to quit over not being Divas Champion. Stephanie promised her that she'd win it again one day.
That was in 2013. Nattie hasn't been champion since 2010.
Natalya is awful on the show but when she has a good moment, holy fuck, is it amazing.

That seems a given at this point. Wouldn't be surprised if we get another "choose the main event" vote betwen Naito/Tanahashi and Okada/Omega.

According to someone at the show she took it on the back of the head. Plus they did a tag match where after the match they did some chairshots to the head to War machine.
