lmao this guy looks at the card

on paper, do you think that show puts butts into seats? come on.

the story of the show is the magic, friend.

I watched it. It was fun. I enjoyed it. A lot of the actual wrestling, though? No thanks.

 

[UrbanDandy]

Was 7 (Goldust) a worked shoot?

 

[British Monsoon]

Except for that's how he got the name Yehi. It's a nickname he got from his height. He loves that chant.

That's cool and all, but it gets old real quick. Had to mute the iPPV last time I saw him in EVOLVE.

 

[Discotheque]

He still needs to get a new tv deal, completely rebrand the product, and he needs to figure out a way to make money.

yeah it's not a smart deal for sure but we'll see what happens. at least we know he can afford buying it (sustaining it is another story)

 

[Fox318]

Is there any person with serious net worth (500 mil USD) who is even a fan of wrestling?

AYY BAYLEY

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Hooray for you! I hope you have a gay ol' time.

I WILL!

Spoiler

Dammit... now I feel bad for gloating.

For real, sucks you didn't get it.

 

[British Monsoon]

AYY BAYLEY

Yes, that is also an example of something that got old real quick.

The Takeover crowd sucked because it was the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over.

 

[Zach]

Honestly not too broken up about it. It seems like a cool game, but as I've said, I haven't really been able to get into a racing game for a long, long time.

 

[Data West]

Delete all chants that aren't just the wrestlers name.

 

[somedevil]

At NXT tonight they had the female referee Nikkan Lee who tried out referee the Itami match:

 

[Data West]

she's from BJW. the bookers/'ace's wife so i'd be surprised if she left

has nothing to do with itami at all though so i dont know if they were trying to go with that angle.

 

[Anth0ny]

I watched it. It was fun. I enjoyed it. A lot of the actual wrestling, though? No thanks.

well I'll be a son of a bitch. I think we're gonna be hard pressed to find any free tv show that has any actual good wrestling, let alone from top to bottom. they're supposed to be commercials for the good wrestling that will be on the paid show 99% of the time.

maybe that raw where cena and punk had their "real wrestlemania main event" where punk gave the piledriver. but the rest of that 3 hour show was probably the drizzling shits.

Is there any person with serious net worth (500 mil USD) who is even a fan of wrestling?

the peoples champ?

Eminem? Not sure what his net worth is, but it can't be too low

 

[Zach]

Nitros are good for a good match or three from '95 to '97 I'd say. Mmmm... earlier Nitro...

She was at the invite only tryout and the only referee WWE asked to come. Plus they probably testing her at the NXT house show tonight. She did the Itami match and now is doing the Asuka match.

The OSW lads cover WCW WW3

 

[Data West]

Why is Dalton Castle's music generic biddly rock?

 

[Discotheque]

the peoples champ?

he's had a firsthand look though. he's aware of how carny the business is.

 

[SallyIsNow]

Why is Dalton Castle's music generic biddly rock?

Are they not using the Queen cover song?

What is TNA

I like that they gave Cody's character his shoot last name.

 

[Cagey]

Is that hoss dude's gimmick a combo of Viking, Brock Lesnar, and those guys who spray stuff in their mouths in that Mad Max movie?

 

[Fox318]

the peoples champ?

I think he has to be the closest.

Ted Turner might be next but frankly he could have bought WCW for the 2-3 million Vince spent if he really cared even with the financial issues he was going through.

 

[British Monsoon]

Bootaay, any indy dates you want me to highlight in the OP?

The EVOLVE shows mid-month (cards here; http://wwnlive.com/) and NJPW King of Pro-Wrestling (http://www.njpw.co.jp/english/match/card.php?e=1200).

Is that hoss dude's gimmick a combo of Viking, Brock Lesnar, and those guys who spray stuff in their mouths in that Mad Max movie?

Basically. He's Odinson of Asgard, but does the Mad Max spray paint stuff on his entrance for no good reason.

Scratch Dwayne Johnson, I think I found the wealthiest wrestling fan.

 

[British Monsoon]

 

[Sweeney Tom]

TNA talent are currently under the impression TV tapings will also happen

 

[Data West]

Funaki is following Io Shirai on twitter now

rip joshi business.

 

[Aeternus Malum]

It's gonna be 2020 by the time we have a non known Indie guy NXT champion.

Edit: And man, it's gonna be even longer until we have an actual NXT homegrown and trained champ.

This is more or less what wrestling fans have asked for; less homegrown guys and more guys who cut their teeth in bingo halls to be signed.

And now Tye Dillenger will never be champion

Cropped Goto out of that photo so fast.

 

[Zee-Row]

Was 7 (Goldust) a worked shoot?

yes because TNT was uncomfortable with the character because the vignettes made him seem like a child molester.

 

[Uno Venova]

Ah this brings me back to the time WWE had a hood black people gimmick, a mentally challenged person gimmick, and a lawn riding immigrant gimmick all at one time.

 

[slightconfuse]

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

Awful news, NXT blue chipper and future of the business Hugo Knox and come to a mutual agreement for his release.

[slightconfuse]

Jay lethal just pinned Naito clean

 

[serenewarfare]

Of all times to put an ROH guy over a NJPW guy, I'm not sure this is the one NJPW should have agreed to. But the match was great, and we'll probably get a rematch for the IC Title where Naito gets his win back, so it's not too bad.

 

[Data West]

No, I'm pretty sure burying Naito is exactly the time NJPW would have agreed to.

God damnit, he's more over than Okada. Fuck him for getting more over than my aceu

 

[serenewarfare]

I think this says less to me "NJPW is giving an ROH guy a win" and more "Lethal's contract is up in three months and NJPW wants to sign him for a decent spot so they are giving him a big win".

 

[SallyIsNow]

Clean. CLEAN! Lmao

 

[slightconfuse]

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Being an Ingobernables fan is fucked up. don't do it, you're always in pain

This booking
