Love everything about this picture
especially the fact that he won it from HHH, a month after he won the WM main event.
I enjoyed that Hogan win. This is relevant -http://www.kayfabenews.com/study-shows-hulk-hogan-is-only-person-ever-injured-by-hulk-hogans-leg-drop/

I almost forgot, but SHINE 3 is this month too. I would be tempted to skip it, given how packed this month is, but both SHINE 1 & 2 were really entertaining shows, so I guess I'm in for that one too. Jeez...4 iPPVs in one month.

SHINE 3 - Friday, September 21st - Yblor City, FL - 8PM EST;

Hogan got so jacked again around 1999. He might not have been as big as at his peak, but he was far more defined and ripped than he ever was when he came back to WWE.
 
I don't get it.
Why they continue giving him wins over guys like Del Rio and Ziggler, two of the top heels in the company, when he's been absent due to a suspension and currently has no on-going story or feud. It's just... stupid. But it's WWE, so what else is new.
It really does make no sense.

I dont recognize ANY of those shows. I wonder if people look at Moe like Pg WWE. But hey, still watching wrestling here!

Well with AJ lighting it up as GM WWE has never been more moe.

You guys should hop on Netflix and watch The Best of Raw and Smackdown 2011. Specifically, The Miz beat down on Cena before WM. They didn't try to sweeten the crowd, which is great because the crowd was so silent and not buying it at all. It's hilarious. I think I finally figured out why Miz looks so weird. His pecs are too big for his body. They make the rest of him look off.

The set also features a few matches with ADR when people still took him seriously and he actually looked like he wasn't completely embarrassed to be a pro wrestler. Christian vs ADR in a cage was great. Christian is the Bobby Eaton of his era. I hope he gets another real title reign before he hangs it up. And considering the crazy bumping style he's had his entire career, including all the ladder/TLC/Cage matches, it's amazing that he's as healthy as he is and gets better with age. Hopefully this set has some stuff I missed out on because I've found I really only watch 3-4 full episodes of Raw and Smackdown a year for the past few years. They should put out a best of Superstars DVD. I feel there will be a lot of skipping on this set.

Lolz, entirely forgot The Corre ever existed. I also completely forgot about The New Nexus, too. Feels like it was years ago. I remember the first episode of NXT. I watched it in my garage while on a treadmill. I was super stoked to see Bryan Danielson in WWE and against Jericho no less. And I was happy to see a fat guy in cowboy boot styled wrestling boots again. And then I saw Wade Barrett and immediately thought "He's going to be WWE Champion by Summer". That really worked out. There was no reason for him not to have won the title during the Summer of Nexus angle. That stalled his career HARD.


Man, WM 27 really sucked, didn't it? Probably the worst since WM 2000.

I buy the best-ofs on Blu-Ray because WWE's HD content is incredible, and streaming gets CLOSE to the same, but it's fun to go back and watch best-ofs.

2009 was an interesting time. I really, really miss heel Orton w/Legacy. I guess that might have been 08?

And Wade Barrett just got Cena'd all summer. That shit was sad.

Yes, I quit cause I don't know shit about pop music.

How good at YOU AT capitalizing random WORDS to sound like a moron?

HOW CAN YOU make badly looping gifs that ARE JUST DOWNRIGHT PITIFUL

Nah Sunflower, I like them but I don't know shit and therefore contribute nothing not even staying on subject.

I'm probably gonna quit wrasslegaf cause my stupid ass job doesn't let me watch any wrestling due to the schedule.


Man I'm fucked up from work today, fucking tired and spent.

Well I don't like em! But regarding wrestling, you're saving a hell of a lot of time brah.

Do you have any portable devices you can use at work on breaks, etc? Smartphone? If not, maybe you should look into it.

And this does not BODE WELL for WWE 13's GAFEDERATION
 
That funny looking fella?

He looks like a hoot, and a jobber!
His mask is pretty lame, i'd make a better Owl related getup for him.

Wade Barrett knocked my socks off from day 1 of NXT, he's been the only new wrestler in years that WWE have had that make me want to catch every segment he's involved in, despite the mishandling of his run he's mostly been pretty high profile for a newer guy which is good, I really hope he returns with some high profile feud.
WM27 and 28 for that matter are pretty shocking, WWE has lost the plot with WM, too much focus on other shit during a 4 hour event to the point where each year has a match end in like 30 seconds because concerts are considered more important.

I have a smartphone but it sucks and i'd like to use it to watch something but breaks and lunches are only so long.

Yeah Nocturnowl i'm sure you'd make a better owl related wrestling mask.

Don't worry the WWW (Wrasslegaf Wrestle Wrestling)

Well, this set features Truth's original Little Jimmy and Punk's PIPEBOMB promos. Legacy was 09. Remember when DX cleanly jobbed to Cody and Ted with HBK tapping out to a Million $ Dream/ring post figure four combo? Really helped Ted and Cody's careers out.

Don't worry the WWW (Wrasslegaf Wrestle Wrestling)

It should be Wrasslegaf Wrestle Wrasslin.
 
Finally, the full length main event from New Japan's Dominion show is online, and I don't think I'm overstating things when I say it's a definite match of the year contender;

Kazuchika Okada (c) vs Hiroshi Tanahashi - (NJPW 06/06/12)

FUCK. That was seriously awesome. How is Okada so damn good? Just about everything he does is crisp and timed perfectly, and I love the fact that Tanahashi injures Okada's knee early on and he sells it so well throughout. Awesome stuff.

Yeah, sorry, I meander and was just talking about collections in general. Weh!

Big props to DX for doing the job to Legacy, but man, the writing team did not give us what we needed even though the workers did. Brutal...but mostly forgotten.

Yeah that sounds better

I guess we'll be holding roster calling by the time WWE 13 comes out.

That'll be a lot of CAW's for me to halfassedly make.

I can't justify buying wrestling DVDs. Especially current stuff. I'll watch the docs and whatnot when they pop up on Netflix. I probably haven't actually purchased anything wrestling related besides video games in a decade. Even though I've been tempted by some of the legends figures put out over the past decade. I did buy a DDP figure for a guy I worked with to put on his desk. Every time one of us closed an account or got a payment, we'd flashed the Diamond Cutter sign.

A lot of the DVDs (or blu rays) have special features which are usually entire matches that don't make it to streaming, so if you really have a desire to see full matches from someone's (or somewhere's) doc, buying it is the way to go.

There's something like 2 hours of special matches on the blu ray of best of smackdown 2011 or somesuch. I know Batista's DVD was LONG as fuck but it had a lot of great footage from OVW on the special features as well. Unsure if Netflix had those as other 'episodes'

F4Wonline.com is reporting WWE Champion CM Punk reportedly cut himself to draw blood during his match on Raw with Jerry Lawler.

This is known as a blade job in wrestling which WWE has outlawed. As of now, no backstage fallout or punishment has took place between management and CM Punk. This would mean either CM Punk has gotten to a status where he's able to get away with making a decision like this if he feels its best for the match or he convinced management that the blood was from a legitimate cut.

Hrm.

This is known as a blade job in wrestling which, despite adding drama to a match that would have been otherwise unwatchable, WWE has outlawed. As of now, no backstage fallout or punishment has took place between management and CM Punk. This would mean either CM Punk realized that no one was going to pay attention to a Jerry Lawler match in 2012 or he convinced management that killing their televised product is bad for business.

Hrm.
