Those chops Metalik laid on TJ are still echoing around my house. Samoa Joe put a pretty heavy one on Tyler Breeze at NXT Austin, but Metalik made Joe look SAWFT.

Yeah, I spoilered it for you last night but this is the most tasteless wrestling thing I've ever seen. Couldn't believe what I had seen. Makes this look like a work of art

To be fair, WWF did the miscarriage angle first. With Terri. Probably Russo's doing, too, but still. Way to set the precedent, WWF!
 
Damn, I'd been rooting for Metallik from the start (because he had a MASK!), so close.
Kind of glad that Ibushi didn't make it to the finals, not that I have any beef with the guy but it just seemed like a boring safe choice.

Kane winning really killed the show for.

Really? Any good?

It's ok, but the video feels weird, seeing these 50 year old dudes dressing like they did in 1990. Not that they suddenly have to try and look like Luther or something, but I don't get out much so maybe 50 year old dudes still dress like that.

Plus that one dude still looks like he's from the same alien species as Sam Cassell.

But it's nice to see them making new stuff at any rate.

I dunno if Phoenix Splashes and dives off balconies were what Inoki had in mind when he was doing his Strong Style thing. Then again the term Strong Style doesn't really mean all that much anymore I guess.

There are three requirements for Strong Style.

1. Do you KICK REALLY FUCKING HARD

2. Do you CHOP BATTLE A MOTHER FUCKER FOR 4 MINUTES

3. ARE YOU ANTH0NY


If you qualify for any of these three things, YOU ARE STRONG STYLE

I think I have a cold, or a fever. Not sure which. Sore throat and I'm freezing. Today's plan is to wait until the insurance lady calls me, then take a hot shower and go bundle up in bed until work tonight. I haven't been sick in months, and this has been a horrid month so far. The back half being better would be nice.

I got my Flu shot yesterday. I get it every year and feel it has helped. Yeah I might still get sick here and there but it lasts a few days while other I know are fucked up for WEEKS.

So not worth it
Jesus, just came back from a visit to one of my colleagues, who had a bleeding in his brain and has some clogged brain artery near his brain stem. Guy's 33, has no feeling in the left side of his body, can barely even write with his right hand because his motor skills are impaired, speaks like he has had 20 beers. Guy was perfectly healthy, completely fit and then boom outta nowhere, with no warning signs something like that happens. He's lucky he's still alive and brains are super resilient and can rewire and shit, but he's looking at months upon months of work in a rehab center which can't even guarantee 100% recovery.

We humans are way too fragile, friends.

His age probably works in his favor as far as recovery goes, so at least there's that?

Wtf just a random stroke? Sorry to hear this. I hope recovery is as fast a possible.

DBry retweeted something from Jill Stein yesterday.

The same day that Stein gave an absolutely disastrous interview to Vox.

Is Jill Stein that green party nutjob? Because that totally seems like Daniel's crowd, some of us have been calling that anti-vax shit of D-Bry and Brie out for ages, they don't hide it.

Kobashi is the living embodiment of King's Road, he wouldn't associate himself with STRONG STYLE.

I always associated the whole FIGHTING SPIRIT thing with STRONG STYLE, especially when two buff mother fuckers are smacking eachother for 4 minutes without giving an inch, but I guess King's Road is more accurate.

STRONG STYLE sounds way fucking cooler, though.

I feel like D Bry could have been an epic hipster heel. Just ungodly annoying.
I think he's off meat again now that he doesn't have to wrestle.

edit: Anyone ever seen The Dictator?

This character would be like his perfect wife.

Yeah, that certainly helps a lot, as well as the fact that mentally he's still 100% there. I always say that I don't care what happens to me, as long as I can still move at least one arm and have my full mental capabilities I'm good. And even the arm I could miss if I really need to, just get me a laser pointer and one of them PC interfaces for your head.

Completely outta nowhere, guy just started feeling numb on his left side and that's that. Healthiest guy I know, never sick or anything.

I'm way more selfish than that. I've told my relatives if I'm ever unable to do for myself and there's no undoing that, to just put a pillow on my face and sit on it. Being alive is cool sometimes, but not so much that I'd want to be looked after and make people endure that whole process.

Large image dump incoming:

Holy shit. The Cruiserweight Classic Finale was one of if not the best night of live wrestling I have ever experienced. This show started at 10, turned it to 11, 12 and stayed in that range all night. Even the tag match which was total filler kept up the pace. These guys knew the spot they had and it was amazing. I don't even know if I could pick a favorite match of the night, it was all crazy.

Here's some of my pictures from the show:

Waiting for the show to start:

My sole attempt at an action shot, Ibushi flies!

A wild Triple H appears! He's apparently a babyface authority figure here.

I'll admit, I was rooting for Sabre because I love the technical style, but TJP was the right choice here. The biggest story of the night IMO, is TJP winning over this crowd. He was boo'd heavily at the start of the night because he won over Swann and Gargano, but he was cheered by the end of it. It was an amazing night to experience live.

Yes, unabashedly so. That would make Daniel and Brie uh, regressive idiots, to put it mildly.

Not to shit the thread up with politics but Stein outright said in that interview that it was okay for Russia to invade Crimea and the Ukraine because the used to own it. Replace Russia with "England" and Ukraine with "Ireland" lmao

It does I guess. If Boots is hovering around the thread I'm sure he could give a better breakdown on the differences between the two.
