Teaser Trailer #2; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKh2zS2fnHw

Anyone else going to be watching tonight? Personally, I can't wait. Should be an excellent show and the card's stacked from top to bottom. Really looking forward to Yoshino vs Aries, which I believe is a first time match, and BxB vs SHINGO has the potential to be a match of the year contender. Jacobs & Moxley should tear the house down with their I Quit Match, both guys are fantastic workers and two of the best storytellers in the business today, also Homicide vs Rich Swann is a pretty interesting match; Swann's an up-and-comer on the indy scene, a very impressive high flyer who has the biggest match of his career tonight against the Notorious 187. Plus, that Four Way match should be suitably insane and will be perfect to get the crowd going.

Remember that 30 second clip of MVP's new theme? Seems like that's all that exists:

It's like those people on youtube who loop short clips and call them "Full+extended":lol

Hmm, never watched a Dragon Gate before, but the teaser trailers do look awesome. Don't think I'll be able to catch this PPV, though.

Some clips from Manami Toyota's CHIKARA visit. Not as good as she was back in the day, but she still puts all the no talent Divas to shame.

The show will be available on demand from Sunday, if you're still interested in checking it out after the event.

Her match against Daizee Haze from the first night wasn't all that, but I can't fault either Manami or Daizee, as it's their first time working together - that didn't stop the tag match on night 2 being absolutely fantastic, though. Probably one of my favourite CHIKARA main events of the year, and so awesome to see Manami in the US - hopefully SHIMMER could convince her to come back over in the future, there's a ton of great singles matches she could have there.

Yuke's should start using the UFC engine.

SvR looks like the 10+ year old game it is.

 

[Azuran]

Benoit was probably the one that affected me most, because of how sad, weird, then downright insane it turned out to be.

Me in Eddie thread

I remember reading that like it was yesterday. I wasn't a member yet but I used to lurk here a lot. Why do idiots always have to ruin everything?

[Zhengi]

OMG @ Melina's costume. So hot!

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Dat Chelsea.

 

[British Monsoon]

Dragon Gate stream is live! This should be awesome - anyone else watching?

 

[Jin34]

What the hell was that?

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Can they please end Kane's devils favorite BDSM plaything gimmick.

 

[Jin34]

Oh well this is interesting, why is Alberto interrupting Kane?

 

[abstract alien]

Why is Del coming out!?

Oh damn, he slapped the shit out of the urn :lol

 

[Jin34]

Del Rio just don't give a fuck.

 

[Azuran]

Wow, those people have no respect whatsoever for the dead.

 

[JdFoX187]

That just made no sense. Del Rio comes out to make a statement, and a fucking awesome one at that. Then Super Rey has to come out and defend the guy that unjustly accused him of beating the Undertaker within an inch of his life? Then he 619s an innocent man for no apparent reason? And the people cheer for him? Jericho was right all along.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

That and Rey never denied or defended the people that were wrongly accused of vegetating the Undertaker when he knew it was Kane.

 

[abstract alien]

 

[Jin34]

Vickie :lol

 

[Keyser Soze]

I am ahead of others... but goddamn, Layonce is the greatest moment in the history of our sport.

 

[British Monsoon]

Great debut for DGUSA on iPPV and Gabe's first ever live show; audio 20 seconds out of synch, then when GFL try to fix it the video goes slow-motion, but sorts itself out just in time to see the pinfall - looked like a great opening match from what I could tell, but an awful start technical wise.

*edit, damn - now there's a Moxley promo backstage that no-one can hear :lol Even the first ROH iPPV didn't have this many technical problems.

 

[Lunchbox]

wwe is doing reverse psychology with daniel bryan. letting him bury people to turn his fans against him

 

[Azuran]

I hope this is a best out of 10 series.

[ScrubJay]

These two are on a mission from God to get the midcard belts over, or die trying.

WWE needs to get some new referees. Worst officiating I seen in my life.

DAT $15!

 

[British Monsoon]

DAT $15!

Yeah, I'm pretty pissed about missing that match - hopefully GFL make up for it somehow. Everything's working fine now though, Homicide vs Rich Swann is on at the moment, started off pretty slow, but they're picking up the pace now.

*edit, and Cide wins with a sick lariat.

linda wank !!

I hope Linda only gets 0.000000000000001% of the votes.

Huh, not bad Show...not bad...

WWE's latest video has them exploiting the kids of WWE employees.

http://vids.wwe.com/index.php/video/Children-of-WWE-employees-Stand-Up-for-WWE/653311695001/

Of course they're going to say good things about the company!

This whole "Stand Up For WWE" campaign could've been a great idea if handled carefully and spread out over weeks. But just like they usually do, they turn it into bullshit WWE propaganda and shove at least one, sometimes two new videos down our throat everyday.

 

[British Monsoon]

Awful rambling in-ring promo from Austin Aries, thankfully Masato Yoshino is out to save us and get the next match underway - this should be awesome. The commentators are dull as ditchwater though.

*edit, and now the commentator's have disappeared entirely :lol Gabe must be pulling his hair out over all this.

 

[Azuran]

Its Kaval supposed to be the anti-Daniel Bryan or what? Seriously.

Nice to see Swagger not jobbing thought.

 

[Lunchbox]

soar eagle soar !

It's damn near impossible to handle carefully when your company has a long history treats it's emplo...erm independent contractors like crap, and then so many of them dying young. Not to mention all the embarrassing story lines/moments.
