I can't even think of a genuinely good videogame .gif. They're all just console warrior crap most of the time.

Count me in the "video game gifs are trash" 99% of the time. Either they're massive fat-boy gifs to show off some shit you never get to see at a supersampled res or they're shit people think is funny. So that DQs 100% of gifs
 
UWFi - NICK BOCKWINKEL vs BILLY ROBINSON - 1992

robinson_bockwinkel10zkyx.gif

first up, Nick, 53 years old at the time. looking sharp. absolute LEGEND. 4 times AWA champion, multiple times NWA champion in many territories. smooth talker, showing respect and admiration for the japanese fans.

second up, the late british legend, Billy Robinson (1938-2014). 54 at the time. won titles all over the world and his catch wrestling training is still the standard to this day. another great respectful promo, putting over the promotion.

this is being sold as Special Exhibition Match with a 10 minute time limit. crowd is excited for this and so am i. bell rings. both men circle the ring. collar-and-elbow tie up leads to the first ref break. another collar-and-elbow tie up with Nick sending Billy into the ropes. chop combo by Billy, ending with a kick to the gut. Nick has the best screams of pain in the business.

Billy goes for the butterfly suplex but Nick escapes. hard slaps by both men. Billy goes for a hip toss but Nick reverses into an arm lock. Billy is fighting back, trying to escape the hold but Nick overpowers him. Billy finally squeezes out and gopes for the butterfly suplex again but Nick reaches the ropes and the ref breaks the action. another collar-and-elbow, this time Nick gets the side headlock, squeezing hard. Billy works up a counter and pulls out a lovely backbreaker.

Billy is back on the attack. big punch to the gut of Nick but Nick locks in another side headlock. Billy escapes and puts Nick on a hammerlock which Nick counters with a rather stiff knee which leads to Billy getting heated as fuck. audio is not great but it went something like this:

Billy: "you son of a fuckin bitch..."
Nick: "just a knee, Robinson"
Billy: "...right, you gonna get one on the fuckin chin"

back body clinch by Billy, who shoves Nick as he gets out. they're still heated but cooler heads prevail and the match continues as planned. full nelson by Billy. Nick escapes but ends up on the full Nelson again. snapmare by Billy. Nick goes for a keylock takedown but they both end up on the ropes. ref break the hold and the action resumes standing. drop toe hold takedown by Billy, now works on an ankle lock but Nick gets to the ropes. both guys are standing again. Billy tries to secure an abdominal scretch but Nick rolls out and ends on top. now Nick got Billy's back. Billy reaches the ropes and the ref stands them up. sideheadlock takedown by Billy, tries to lock in an armbar. Billy counters with a headscissors choke. they stand up and Nick locks in a front headlock. they touch the ropes and we get the announcement that there's only 30 seconds in the match. both men go ham right now, trading hard blows.

10 seconds left. they tie up. Billy gets the upper hand and finally scores the butterfly suplex he was looking for as the bell rings. the result is a time limit draw.

Lou Thesz joins both men, clearly happy with what he saw. so was i. hard hitting, old school match. both these guys could still go for another 10 minutes, easy. Billy getting pissed only happened for a minute or so, then he cooled off. good send off for both men who would never lace their boots again.

Well, my trial for WWE Network has expired.

I genuinely loved the content. Maybe in two-four years it will be a solid experience.

Ok so I have a question about Gif Cam on the WWE Network. How do you fit the network stream into a smaller gif cam window? I can't get the Network player to re-size. I tried a few ways of doing it with it regular sized, but all the gifs turn out huge.

You're just mad that Batista gifs all suck, and Cerny gifs are rock-solid. If anything, there should be a movement to Cerny-fy all wrestling gifs.

Or at least just Cerny up Batista.
 
EDIT: Yeah, he was. Dude learned wrasslin and legit submission grappling from the same dude.

Nah. Not really.

Barnett had already won the UFC HW strap and done some puro before he ever met BR. BR did teach him a lot later though.

Barnett did his first puro matches without any training at all. Like zero training. He's just a longtime fan and a great athlete.

He might not have learned everything he knows from Robinson, but he did learn both from him.

Got DDP Yoga in the mail today and did the opening breathing and Diamond Dozen intros. It's going to take me a while to fully understand what my body's supposed to be doing with some of these positions, but I'm focused on overall fitness, so I'm excited to keep it going and to improve over time.

Despite not winning any titles I can remember Vampiro's push in WCW 2000 is insane. He's booked like a monster for the first half of it...then he joins up with JCW and Sting clobbers him in about a minute at the very end of the year.

As I attempt to watch every pay-per-view chronologically, I will make a running list grading each show. In an effort to contrast with your guys' extremely complicated reviews, I will grade without any explanation whatsoever (probably). I assure you this has nothing to do with being a lazy jerk.

Anyway, let's see how long I do this before inevitably abandoning the whole thing:

I like it.

speaking of video games and i was banned and didn't follow up on it: is Ground Zeroes still 60 minutes long?

If even that.
 
Bionic Arm prefers movies to games. We all know this.

All these movies, I'm drowning in 'em.

BIONIC-ARRRMMM!! said:
I won't bother posting a fav five, I hate ranking subjective shit. But these games are the ones I enjoyed the most this gen in alphabetical order:

Alpha Protocol
Batman: Arkham City
Bayonetta
Binary Domain
Bionic Commando
Bionic Commando Rearmed (1&2)
Bioshock (Fuck Infinite)
Dark Souls
Dead Rising 2: Off the Record
Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Marvel vs. Capcom 3
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

edit: When I put it like that, this was actually a pretty decent gen.

Considering we have musou marks in this thread, I'll refrain from vulgarities.

You hurt my feelings though, Mr. Arm. What you just said is not cool.
