Mostly weekly shameless plug time!
I was all over this weeks show but had two main spots -
1. There was a big wrestling ring cake that was being given out to fans during intermission. I had said earlier no one should touch that cake because it was for me and my 400 pound wrestler's celebratory dinner. Here's what happened

Bobby Heenan commentary, and Malenko-Jericho. Winner.
"I'm not buying it, brother! I'm not a mark, bro."
I was watching some of the Falls Count Anywhere DVD on Netflix...Jesus Christ, that Sting/Booker vs LOD match. Has to be one of the biggest messes I've ever seen. And it was a half hour long, but feels like an hour and a half. I remember really liking that as a kid and the randomness of Booker T and Sting teaming. But fuck. It would have been a perfect 10-15 minute brawl. But it just kept going on and on and on and on. And repeating spots. I'm pretty sure they did a "Hawk no sells a piledriver" spot 3 times, once on the floor. Piledrivers don't work, but DDTs do, for some reason. At least 3 top rope lariats from Hawk. I think Sting tried his super awesome Superfly Splash twice, Booker hit probably 7 Harlem side kicks and a few scissor kicks...it just went on forever. Completely aimless brawling where no one knew what the hell to do for most of the match. A half hour of it. If it had been cut in half, it would have been a great, wild brawl.

2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbI52aZrANc&feature=youtu.be Good friends better enemies time, former tag partners split by me not inviting Drake into my Golden alliance. The blowoff was a B-Arthur Brawl which of course means there's no rules. There's some thumb tacks which the Oklahoma commission lady said "never again" after this.
I also did some ridiculous group pictures you can find at http://srpw.shutterfly.com password is srpw
Enjoy! http://www.facebook.com/BArthurisgolden
Man, I'm watching this right now. And dude, Kane back in the day looked and played vicious then than what he is now. He was horrific too back in the day. I miss those days
Hey friends.
Fight of Fighters 2013 is now rendering! It should be ready within a couple hours. It clocks in at almost 25 minutes!
Should be a fun watch - between the render and the youtube upload, well, I'll let y'all know when it's time to party.
Stay tuned guys I'm not impressed with my video editing like Laserfrog can do, but I think we churned out a respectable product.
hurry the fuck up man I got to sleep in a hour
Go to sleep then - it's got 2 more hours to render :|
bah
I can't be the only youtube director who can upload two hour long videos can I?

No, I can upload long ones, but you see, I had to finesse it a bit, I had to add title cards, music, sound!
I gotta MAKE the video, then publish to yerptoueb.

http://www.wwe.com/classics/classic-lists/20-memorable-debuts/
WWE.com have a memorable debuts list, which is actually pretty decent for once, apart from a thoroughly phoned in high entry for Cena (some of which reads like the writer just copy pasted some "Cena our Lord and Saviour" lines from a list). They even remembered Vader's H.R. Giger steam helmet.
Man I was getting worried that Kane wasn't there for a minute but WWE put him in the perfect position.
Really that list highlights something missed from this modern era, without any rival companies on WWE's "stardom level" for lack of a better term we just don't get instant big name debuts anymore, everyone just comes crawling up from developmental including some of the more well known independent wrestlers in the same basic manner and settle into some variety of mid card position, I mean the most modern thing on the list was Nexus and it's hardly a real debut when NXT season 1 was airing for the previous 3 months with some of these guys also being on Raw.
Cena being as high as he was is pretty silly, it's a solid debut but nothing more.
It's kind of sad to consider that Khali actually was the last sort of big debut, and he was awful.This is why people want Dean Ambrose to have a "big" debut, right into the major angles. People like CM Punk, Bryan, they started low down and it's taken a while for them to get where they are. Damien Sandow and Antonio Cesaro seem like they're going to end up doing well in the long run, but even then they started pretty small (even if Sandow got some vignettes before his debut, it was just another segment).
When's the last time someone really made a huge debut that put them on the map right away?
How in the FUCK is Cena's debut the 4th most memorable in history?
Jesus fuck, I'm shocked Triple H doesn't have like 5 debuts from his many returns on this list if Cena's jobber debut is somehow #4 all time.
Anyone think that Eddie Guerrero was on something after he joined the WWF? I mean, he got massive?
Do you think that he would still be alive today if he didn't take any of that stuff (if he did in fact)?
The best HHH return is yet to come when he returns from death by Lesnar/retirement/from behind the COO desk to get his revenge.
So Kane and Big Show have had a good or at least decent match in their hundreds of encounters, figures it was back when both men were particularly monstrous in their general physique.I forgot to mention how funny I though it was that WWE now dubs in Cactus Jack's WCW theme over his WWF one when for the past decade they've dubbed the WWF one into any ECW or WCW match he had. Now it is the other way around. Made me giggle.
Also, fuck, Big Show looked really svelte at the end of 1999. It's also weird seeing him with long hair again. His match with Kane on the Falls Count Anywhere set is pretty awesome. Kane hits one of the craziest, most impactful enziguri I've ever seen. Starts as a regular match, Big Show gets DQ'd. HHH and Steph decide to make it a no DQ match. Then they get counted out. So they decided to make it no count out and falls count anywhere. Lots of big bumps on the floor, including show getting back dropped over the railing that was crazy. Not like the rolling one he takes now, but a full on back body drop on the floor. Looked awesome. And a few body slams and belly to backs on the floor. And Show looking terrifyingly strong when he threw Kane up for the snake eyes on the railing like he was Rey Jr. Ends with a gnarly powerbomb through the announcers table. Kane losing meant that Tori had to spend the holidays with X-Pac, which sounds like the dirtiest and greasiest Christmas ever.
WWE.com's Top 20 Most Memorable Triple H Debuts.
WCW Uncensored 1996 aka The Doomsday Cage match ppv with The Mega Powers (Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage) vs The Alliance to End Hulkamania (Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Meng, The Barbarian, Lex Luger, Kevin Sullivan, Z-Gangsta and The Ultimate Solution) (with Woman, Miss Elizabeth and Jimmy Hart) just started right here http://www.blogtv.com/people/flemsey1. Let's watch together and share a few WCW related laughs.
Good, so you guys can see how long and meandering LOD vs Sting/Booker is, too.
How in the FUCK is Cena's debut the 4th most memorable in history?
Back from the dead, so it's only fitting I post in this thread.
At the building for RAW. Pretty sure I just saw Dean Ambrose go in the building. Probably a dark match tonight, but would be cool if he makes his official debut.
Also, FWIW, "Brock Plant" is hanging around the box office waiting for last minute ticket drops. He'll be at the show, but doesn't have a ticket yet.
Photoshop out Skeletor and that's a good pic.Splendid hold.
