Forgot how ridiculously awesome this match was;

Owen was so damn good here (and for a lot of his NJPW run), makes me wish he had stayed in Japan longer.

Apparently TJP found out about the title the same way everyone else did. That's gotta light a fire in your ass LOL. Also...
Gotta love the pinoy pride in this lion but we didn't have just Manny...

If TJP starts retweeting pro-Duterte garbage...we done-zo, pal.
Probably posted, but if not... Shawn Michaels stars in the next WWE Film

Mike's life after Until Dawn got even SCARIER.
Whaaat
What about the rest of the guys they showed on the teasers?
Maybe that's just initial and the rest will be joining as soon as they're needed/available? I say that's possible because Ciampa & Gargano are not there either

FFS Lapsed Fan is seriously almost 9 hours for Summerslam '92!? I refuse to believe that PPV warrants nine friggin hours.
I enjoy the podcast and the discussion, but I bet if you cut out all the Vince stuff they do it'd be down to like 2 hours tops. I know it makes the show but it can definitely go on wayyyy to long some times.
I enjoy the podcast and the discussion, but I bet if you cut out all the Vince stuff they do it'd be down to like 2 hours tops. I know it makes the show but it can definitely go on wayyyy to long some times.
I listen to podcasts pretty passively, like if I'm walking or doing dishes, etc, and I am not in the mood for/sick of whatever music I have on my phone, and I'm not in the mood to be alone with my thoughts - I just stick something that doesn't annoy me on.
So bring on the 12 hour+ podcasts, it just means I have more time before I need to go find more podcasts.
That's the way I'd suggest doing it. I didn't listen to TLF for months after I knew of it because of the length of the episodes, and then I thought what the hell and I realised, you just drift in and out. Sometimes I just stick an episode on and hit a random time stamp in the middle of the episode and listen from there.
I'm 2 hours in and it's great so far.
I mean the story with Davey Boy lost for weeks smoking crack...

I don't doubt there are great stories. I just know there is a ton of fluff in there
I generally do this, but I also like hearing the story. When I try to do it in a more passive manner I end up zoning out and not realizing 45 minutes passed.

Observer HOF ballot is out - From somebody who posted it
It's time for the 2016 Hall of Fame elections.
This ballot is being sent out to major wrestling stars, past and present, major management figures in the industry, writers and historians.
If you are getting this, you are being asked your opinion on who should be inducted into this year's Hall of Fame class. The criteria for the Hall of Fame is a combination of drawing power, being a great in-ring performer or excelling in ones field in pro wrestling, as well as having historical significance in a positive manner. A candidate should either have something to offer in all three categories, or be someone so outstanding in one or two of those categories that they deserve inclusion.
The names listed below are those under consideration for this year. To be eligible, a performer must have reached their 35th birthday and completed ten years since their debut as a full-time performer, or be someone who has been a full-time pro wrestler for at least 15 years.
Longevity should be a prime consideration rather than a hot two or three year run, unless someone is so significant as a trend-setter or a historical figure in the business, or valuable to the industry, that they need to be included. However, just longevity without being either a long-term main eventer, a top draw and/or a top caliber in-ring performer should be seen as relatively meaningless.
The election is broken down into a number of categories. You should check each category for wrestlers that you feel you are familiar enough with based on geography that you've either traveled or are familiar with, and based on the time you have followed pro wrestling. You do not have to vote for a wrestler in every category you've checked.
The ballot is also broken down to wrestlers and those who are not pro wrestlers but have been valuable parts of the industry.
The maximum number of wrestlers that you can vote for all the categories is ten. You can pick as few as zero if you don't believe anyone on this list deserves inclusion.
For wrestling executives, managers, announcers and other outside the ring performers, you can vote for them and they are not counted against the ten. You can vote for as many as five of them.
All responses are confidential. There is nothing to worry about politically about any involvement in this process. Your selections will not be revealed unless you choose to do so yourself.
Anyone who receives mention on 60% of the ballots from the geographical region and time frame (broken down as Continental United States & Canada; Mexico; Japan; and the rest of the world) will be added to the Hall of Fame in the class of 2016.
If you are unfamiliar with any of the candidates due to geography of having never seen them, that is fine. Ballots are sent to many people from all over the world and from different wrestling cultures so that everyone has as fair a shot at possible.
The breakdown for modern and historical performers is 30 years ago, or 1986. So if the last year the person was a headliner, or was a key figure in the industry, was prior to 1986, they would be in the historical class.
All performers who receive mention on 10% to 59.9% of the ballots from their geographical region or era will remain on the ballot for consideration next year. All those who receive less than 10% of the vote will be dropped from next year's ballot. They can return in two years based on if there is significant feedback from voters who say they will vote for them. This is mostly for wrestlers who are still active who may improve their career legacy, but can be for retired wrestlers if voters believe they should be put on or returned to the ballot.
In addition, in following the lead of the baseball Hall of Fame, which is the model here, starting this year we have a 15-year-rule. The following candidates have been on the ballot since 2000. In baseball, this would be their last year of eligibility. Here, if they don't get at least 50% of the votes in this year's election they will be removed from the ballot. If they are modern candidates, they can be brought back in the historical performers era in two years if it is more than 30 years since their career as a Hall Fame level performer is up:
The following candidates will be dropped from next year's ballot unless they are elected in or garner 50% of the vote:
Cien Caras Blue Panther Seiji Sakaguchi Villano III Volk Han
Please return this ballot by October 15th. You can e-mail the ballot back to dave@wrestlingobserver.com or fax it to xxx-xxx-xxxxx (edited to prevent trolling) or mail (please do so by October 5th) to Wrestling Observer, P.O. Box 1228, Campbell, CA 95009-1228.

He was wearing a different shirt and was not across from the hard cam at the NXT tapings Thursday night.
Hopefully he learned his lesson.
