Weak sauce man
I watched La familia de Tijuana vs Los Infernales from 2002 featuring baby Averno and baby Mephisto.
I usually don't enjoy 6 mans all that match beyond what they're supposed to be, filler that usually has a feud or two inside of it to build up to the 1vs1 match, but this was pretty fun to watch. It was kind of funny to see the dudes who looked like mall goth satanists vs the guys named after satanism. Averno and Mephisto were decent but they were mostly there as young boys/geeks. The feud was clearly leader Satanico vs leader Psicosis/Nicho. But Los Inferanles had some fun triple threat tags and Satanico was old grumpy manning it up hardcore in this match. He looked great during all of it.
No one in this match had a good look though. The late 90s early 2000s mall goth era of lucha libre is a dark, dark, dark time. And not in the cool way they thought it was.

Is Vampiro to blame for the goth aesthetic thing or was it more of a cultural phenomenon that he tapped into

Column I wrote on Okada, give it a read if so inclined, friends

Well, I think he's to blame for it in Mexican wrestling. He said in interviews that he was doing the rockstar look thing while he was dating a girl that was semi-famous in Mexico and CMLL told him to just go with the look he had then which got extremely popular.
He also had almost no training, but he was doing it before Charly Manson, Cibernetico, Electroshock, Psicosis, Chessman and the rest of those guys were doing it.
also Parka has been so gigantic for so long I almost forgot how athletic he used to be

So I'm watching SD but skipped the opening promo so in all these backstage segments so far it looks like Orton is playing some awkward arse survival horror game, we got puzzles! we got monster men! we need strange locking mechanisms involving statues next.
Perfect post.

Smackdown was really good. Compelling stuff top to bottom.
I want Miz to keep doing his thing. He just now started hitting his stride and putting the title on Ziggler seems like a step back.
Shame that the ending of the Orton segment was a botch. It looked really creepy. They should've kept it. That whole journey was cool and funny.
Cena is doing good work and Styles made Ambrose look great. That clothesline on Styles when he was on the ropes was dope.
Overall, really liked it. Much better than Raw.

First thought that came to my mind.

It was a little match as part of a segment on a TV chat show.
He's already on one of those weird variety chat show things. I'm pretty sure that officially makes him big in Japan.

This channel recently popped up and is full of mostly good quality uploads of some pretty imporant lucha matches of the new millennium. Not all are good but there's a lot of ones that were billed as big deals and not in trash quality.

I'm realizing I've watched Survivor Series 2002 at some point in the past year, but I'm not recalling any of it beyond when a match or segment begins.

The DOOM soundtrack is a perfect blend of heavy metal and industrial. I would like to see a collab on this and the Fury Road soutnrack

It's such a good soundtrack. Been listening to YT rips since I got my hands on the game, glad it's finally out properly.

I can't believe that Miz vs Ziggler is the hottest feud on wwf tv.
And zigglers contact is up soon, so it's by no means a sure thing that miz is going to win. They could legit put that match at the top of the card at the next ppv and I'd be hooked.

Hello 911? I just witnessed a murder by John Cena.

This must've been really early in Harlem Heat's run. I don't remember Big T ever being this thin.

Bray is so bad he even ruins review a smackdown.

Ziggler is losing, probably taking a trainer or agent position as he has found a full time position on Fox News
- Blonde, conventionally attractive
- Terrible teenaged sense of humour
- Shouts a lot
- Very bad political opinions
- Has experience covering political junkets
- Ripe for a disastrous sex scandal
- Comes across as an insufferable cunt
- Will do anything he is told

Ziggler was a face?
Ziggler's anything but a gray mush, like industrial slurry or summer camp oatmeal?
