I swear, those Bray Wyatt promos get better and better each time I see them. I almost want him to NOT debut so we can get more.

bad gameplay lol
Man, Psicosis was my favorite luchador back in WCW. That guillotine legdrop was such a cool finisher. Then he ended up in WWE and...yeah.
In an effort to foster favorable relations, I made a drawing that combines the two creepiest fanbases on the Internet. Kane as he would appear in the Sonic universe. I had time to draw it since I'm at drill and sitting through a boring class about feelings. I'll link it when I get home...maybe.
Firstly, I was joking about the bullying thing. Obviously, no one was "slapping you around". Secondly, I was specifically called out by a prominent poster here, and to a mod, so I had to defend myself.
BTW, none of that stuff was off topic. Divas, AJ, Kane. It's all wrestling related. All of it. It's on topic. You posted stuff about Owen, and plenty of people discussed it, and for a great deal of time. I apologize that people ignored your Bobby Eaton posts. What do you want people to do? Stop talking about what they want to, and just follow your discussions? What do you want the mods to do? Ban people who discuss divas and such?
Oh, I can't wait.

Anyone eat any snacks while watching wrestling? I usually don't but I have this bag of beef jerkey in front of me that I think would fit.
Not sure if it will last until tomorrow though.
Probably not.

Probably not.
I'm not very well-versed in luchadors, but I will say that Rey Mysterio's time in WCW was what got me back into wrestling after about 6 years of me thinking it was lame and for little kids. Seeing such a little guy in the ring was strange to me, but then he starting flying around and doing things I didn't even think were humanly possible. I'll always have fond memories of Rey because of that.

Haha... There's a TNA PPV today? I think this explains everything.
I always enjoyed his wacky standing bronco buster thing in the corner that he never hit and always landed on his head from. I think by the time he made it to WWE, his body was broken down from his work style and there weren't other guys to work that style with him besides Rey. I don't know why any guy would do something like top rope leg drops. Jumping 10 feet to land right on your tailbone sounds like a bad idea. Also, he lost something with the mask. Actually, I think all of the luchadores took a turn for the worse after they lost their masks in WCW. Rey especially. God, I fucking hated Rey after he lost the mask. He was so annoying as little mini-Konnan, and it just got worse the longer the Filthy Animals were around. It was so dumb for him to lose it in the first place, but to Kevin Nash and Scott Hall of all people? Not even to another cruiser?

Such a fucking worthless gimmick. It didn't help that Juvy and Psicosis legitimately hated each other, lol.I liked the Mexicools.
BTW, I loved this pic. Look at the size, and miss Trish while you do it.
It's CMLL. It comes on one of the Spanish channels every weekend in the US.
Hadn't even noticed lol. Should be a decent match actually.

So I've been wondering lately about the importance of pinning techniques and near falls. Occasionally they'll still say "he didn't hook the leg there!" but there's rarely ever a circumstance where the difference between a near fall and 3-count has been if the leg(s) was hooked or not. If it's not a finisher or a surprise distracted roll-up the effort of a pin doesn't matter and if it is a finisher then you might as well Jericho foot them.
My issue isn't necessarily with finishers but the seemingly hold-over of mentioning how someone is physically being pinned despite it having no actual relevance and might as well be white noise since there's zero repercussions between a good or poor pinning attempt. The only time it actually matters is if they're going for a foot on the rope spot.
If it's still being brought up in the modern era shouldn't it be used to further the story in-ring, like that guy is really great at pinning he wins matches he shouldn't because he's that much better at it than others? Actually use it to propel or add any kind of intrigue as opposed to an excuse for people to go "TWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO" and waste a few predictable moments?

Yep, Austin Aries vs the "Arm Breaker" Luke Gallows.
I'd hope they'd take him straight up to the main roster when he'd healed up, maybe start vignettes near the end of the year and debut him at the Rumble (maybe not IN the Rumble though, to save the debuting guy an inevitable elimination).

For my money, Juvi and Psicosis worked so damn well together. A shame they couldn't deal with it IRL.

What's the story on this? I know Juvi's a bit of a diva backstage but admittedly I don't keep up with the backstage stuff of masked wrestlers.
Oh man, AAA is gonna be heavy on silver king for the next few months. You're gonna love itEven though Psicosis will ALWAYS AND FOREVER be my favorite luchador, I highly recommend everyone check out Silver King. Not necessarily what he did in WCW, but he's really amazing in AAA.
When he comes back to NXT this month he is bringing his family like in the promos. One of his family members is Luke Harper aka Brodie Lee.

Lucha-Royalty.
They are doing an amazing job with bringing Ryan in. After he beats Snow he's an instant upper midcard heel. Impressive work, they didn't rush it either.
Shame it wasn't Tazz he's facing. But I'll take it.

It all stems from their WCW days. Juvi is a huge diva (reportedly) who thought he was above the CW division in WCW. Apparently, he didn't get along well at all with any of those guys, including Psicosis. When they were the Mexicools, dirt sheets constantly focused on how Juvi and Psicosis did not like each other. There were even reports that Juvi had heat even when he went back to Mexico.
He'll win the match using the tazmission.

Honestly? I think Juvi was above the cruiserweight division.

Ignore the crappy music, but here's one of my absolute favorite lucha matches. (it's also a midget wrestling match, but it's better than the majority of non-midget lucha matches)
Mascarita Dorada vs Mini Damian 666 Mascarita Dorada has the coolest mask.

Granted Joe's talented and has had a ton of great matches. Miz... well he's Miz.
Juvi really got me into CW wrestling (I thought the hair whip was cool, lol). However, it didn't help him get over with his coworkers. Konnan, I believe, really didn't like him.
Miz is fat? I never noticed.
Just youtube mascarita dorada and youll find tons of great matches. Theres a crazy amount of great big minis like pequeno halloween, demus 3:16, pierrihitto that make the small guys look so great and dorada is the best of the bunch.
Also, konnan hates everyone and the feeling is mutual

Oh, I see. So he's in a manager capacity while he rehabs his injury?
Brodie Lee I haven't seen to much of, but what I have seen is good so I'm fine with Wyatt managing him for a while.
Miz is in much better shape since his return, I think.
