Also, I hella haven't been checking the board lately but I've been going to the occasional AIW show in the Cleveland area, and trying to keep up with Beyond, AIW, Freelance, and Black Label Pro on IWTV. I love the atmosphere of Freelance shows - I've told my wrestling watching buddies that I think t...

I demand justice for Drew Gulak.

Just watched Open Mike Eagle hit a hurricanrana and win his debut match against some wrestler he started a twitter feud with on an OVW iPPV. Oh and Mick Foley and Mr. Anderson were in his corner. I feel like our thread won. Came here specifically to give congratulations to OME. That rana was on poi...

I can attest to Hero's work ethic, so I don't think motivation is his issue. I would be surprised if there wasn't some underlying issue causing him to have difficulty losing weight. I had heard the thyroid thing, but I also think some long-term sciatic issues also are catching up with him and making...

I hope Hero gets at least a brief run on the main roster. Tag him with Cesaro, split them, feud them, and then put him back in NXT if you want. It'd be a nice sign of appreciation for a guy who was so influential on his contemporaries. He's a dude that just loves wrestling, and understands wrestling...

I'm a PUBG guy. I respect what Fortnite is doing, but it's not my thing - the building doesn't appeal to me, and the shooting doesn't feel great. PUBG is lacking in polish, and the server issues make for a frustrating experience at times... but I've got over 200 hours into it because the gunplay fee...

So, as it turns out, Nioh is really fucking good. I've never played a Souls-type game, so I'm beginning to wonder if I should dive further into the genre. The combat is so satisfying, and the punishing boss battles are really rewarding in a way that reminds me of Devil May Cry and Mega Man in their ...

This is probably good in the short term for Cass (Big Show feud, short rub, maybe hovers on the upper midcard for a bit), but he'll need to evolve for it to pay off. Zo has the gift of gab, but unfortunately little else going for him - I can't see him staying afloat as a solo act, so his future depe...

They can't just squash Joe, can they? I mean, they totally could and would but I don't want to believe they will. Heyman hyped the fuck out of him last night - Joe was the "worst case scenario" of the five-way, and he's going to take a piece of Lesnar in defeat. If they feed him to Lesnar in a 7 min...

Djinder Unhindered.

We doing a Rumble pool this year? That always enhances my enjoyment of what's really a hit-or-miss match.

But why tho

It's a testament to AJ Styles that they trust him to go out there with James Ellsworth and do something worthwhile. I think Ellsworth is doing very well in his role, and has a good sense of humor about himself. His immunity to the chinlock was fucking hilarious, and you have to be pretty secure in y...

The relevant section as quoted by 411Mania states: The new rules also suggest that wrestlers can’t play a heel by interacting with the audience. It said: “In no event shall a participant be permitted to threaten, molest, hit or abuse, physically or verbally , any spectator, or engage in any conduct ...

So YouTube Red and Google Music susbscriptions are one and the same? :ohhh: This has been the secret MVP of my Google Play Music subscription. Watching YouTube on Roku/Chromecast without ads has been a nice bonus. That, and using my Google Play Rewards survey money to buy myself gift subscriptions ...

I think this signals a departure from the norm we're used to. They've been increasingly willing to use blood as part of angles, and to not freak out when guys accidentally get opened up. I can't really make a strong argument for the elbow instead of the fist aside from the hardway punch being pretty...

GUCCI CONDOMS wrote:The bottom line is booking brock to get color the hardway with elbows as opposed to just blading is full retard status.

If Orton blades, nobody is talking about the finish. Nobody is wondering if Brock went off script.

They accomplished exactly what they were going for with that finish.

My man Gulak brought the ruckus with Sabre this week.

I hope they don't jump the gun on the Demon gimmick. They did it way to often in NXT, and it was basically meaningless after a while. Like, "Oh, it's Takeover time. Guess Finn's wearing the paint again." I'm curious as to whether the "Balor Club" graphic in Balor's Titantron is significant in any wa...

In the immortal words of Dave Prazak, "HO-LY FUUUUUUUCK!"

That Kalisto promo. Oh no.
I felt so bad but so entertained.

Exciting week ahead. Draft rules: http://www.wwe.com/article/wwe-draft-rules-2016" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Who do you think the 6 NXT draft picks will be? Finn and American Alpha seem like locks, but wondering what they'll do about Nakamura and Joe. I would think The Revival p...

The Final Deletion was so good. Like, so ridiculous and over the top and bad in a way that was also amazingly good. It was absurd and campy and I loved it.

Louden Noxious/Gavin Loudspeaker in the John Cena video tho.

Nah du.

Also, Billy Corgan saved the company from shutting down, as they didn't have enough money to fund production of their most recent tapings. He's now a minority stakeholder in TNA.

So much promise, once upon a time.

Cesaro's been doing that spot for years. This one has been floating around the internet for a while...

Strange, sorry to hear that. I like both a lot, especially their recent work. Maybe they're just two guys who for whatever reason can't mesh. I think the spot on the card probably contributed. There was a pre-show Women of Honor match, then ACH vs. Caprice Coleman (which was surprisingly good), the...

It definitely wasn't actively good. Maybe not actively bad either, but they couldn't seem to get on the same page. They blew an arm drag sequence early on and recovered nicely, but had a few other miscommunications that they didn't cover quite as well.
