What's Fake Diesel doing wearing that silly mask?

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
CM Punk has come a long way from his humble beginnings at the waffle house
to now having everything
AJ wouldn't be considered a waffle?
I'm reposting this interview, in case you haven't seen it yet, because YOU HAVE TO!!!

EDIT: BTW, and in all seriousness, I never realized that Glenn had that much personality in him, and you can tell that him and Daniel are actual friends. It actually surprised me that GGG knew what Bryan's dog's name was.

He's the real Diesel. Nash was just keeping the glove warm for him.

He doesn't serve waffles anymore he just eats them (Somebody find a better fat picture of Punk)
Cause
remember when the cool kids like us used to post in this shit. make fun of each other, call out frankmans anime fetish, call spindashing names, write fanfics and post airport photos before the rumble
now we're apathetic and a bunch of jobbers took over bro. you and me are like hogan and flair now. watching rybacks run around
So after thourougly enjoying all but slow motion/television remote part of Chikara's King of Trios 2012 some time ago, I'm willing to give it a full chance. Anyone have some recommendations of matches or events to watch?
I'm still not going to get into it full time as I still don't care for the pure cartoonish and I think Osaka Pro does comedy wrestling better, but from time to time it would be a nice alternative to watch
I'm tired of the respect angle with no one actually putting forth any effort into it. It's all just repeating themselves, never actually doing anything and without direction.
At least with Onita or the Undertaker or Blue Demon we actually had them talk about why they wanted respect rather than just "I deserve it" and actually give back respect to others who stand up for themselves and give surprisingly good matches. The whole angle just doesn't work for a main champion like Punk or guy who always has to be at top like Hogan or Cena or Inoki.

First time on the Hall of Shame.
Me too! And at the top!
Actually that reminds me. A Davey Boy Smith vs Fit Finlay match from 1982. Interesting match just to see how much he changed his wrestling style.
It's interesting how many people who I show this to that consider themselves British Bulldog fans, but don't recognise him at all.

Oh, you edited your post. For shame.
Dolph may be one of my favourites, but a feud against Cena? I'm going to be skipping those matches until he's done and goes for his eventual build back up from the Cena-sinking effect that Miz and Zack Ryder went through.
Shouldn't matter that much. Punk's angle is going nowhere. At least Dolph and Cena can have some decent matches, and he's always got the MTIB trump card.

Don't compare me to Ryback. I take that as the worst insult possible.

That interview was fantastic. Daniel Bryan really is the manliest man ever! Catnip in the beard! Composting...Beard hair vests. My mind is blown.
I'd rather see Dolph vs. Punk matches instead of Cena. It's great that Dolph's getting a push (well, we think he is), however his matches with Cena are all going to be snooze-fests. Dolph's going to carry the whole match based on solely his selling.
Until John Cena wins it from him and cashes in on The Big Show, restarting that feud from earlier this year.

Some of the better CHIKARA shows this year;
Ring of Wax (08/18/12) - Young Lions Cup Final
The Great Escape (07/28/12) - Eddie Kingston (c) vs Sara del Rey
Chikarasaurus Rex (06/02/12) - Taylor & Gargano (c) vs The Young Bucks, Hallowicked vs Tim Donst
Anniversario: The Ogg & I (05/20/12) - Eddie Kingston (c) vs Jigsaw, Sara del Rey vs Meiko Satomura
Hot off the Griddle (04/28/12) - Sara del Rey vs El Generico
It's How You Play the Game (03/25/12) - Eddie Kingston (c) vs Brodie Lee
Also, I'd highly recommend the 12 Large Summit dvd, which compiles all the tournament matches from 2011 to crown CHIKARA's first ever Grand Champion;

Plus, the CHIKARA 'best of' dvd's for each year are well worth picking up;

I voted for Hansen. The fact that others didn't vote for Hansen proves only one thing; Hansen education is at an all-time low! I feel a Stan Hansen megapost is imminent...
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
I voted for Andre because I was tired and didn't realize what the question meant by "big man". So yeah, put me in for a vote for Vader too.

I think he has to be a big man by default, simply due to his size, but I agree; he didn't really wrestle, that slower, more methodical big man-style. I wouldn't call him agile, but he had a ton of stamina and never really let up the pace. I loved it when he would square off against more prototypical big man wrestlers, as his style often seemed to bring the best out of them, which is why his matches with Andre & Vader were always so entertaining imo;
Stan Hansen vs Andre the Giant - (NJPW 09/23/81)
Stan Hansen vs Vader - (NJPW 02/10/90)

Man. Was there ever ANY Stan Hansen match that DIDN'T end with him and his opponent beating the shit outta each other while the bell rang and tons of people tried to separate them? :lol

Lol, a few, but those matches above were from inter-promotional shows, and neither promotion wanted their top foreign heel taking the loss. In general though, Stan was good at protecting his character - for much of his career he would never take the pin-fall in tag matches, and with singles matches, if Stan wasn't going over they would almost always end in a disqualification. But, when he did put people over (Jumbo/Misawa/Gordy for the Triple Crown, Kobashi/Kawada/Taue in the Champion Carnival, etc) it seemed all the more important because a Hansen singles loss by pin-fall was so rare.
He's the Mr. Perfect of the Hogan era, so he'll never get his proper due.
Mine was Batista's Dick! lolololol

So are we saying that no one voted on the same finisher? no one else said Stone Cold Stunner?!
Because he's done shit all in the last month, even Wildcat Kofi Kingston has had more to say.

Blame Sandow for stealing the team vote.
I like the current one. It's basically the old one with stronger drums and elephant noises.

Well i'll never be able to hear that theme the same way again.
