He did a Timeline on 97 with Kayfabe Commentaries

Yeah, Gertner actually sent me that one, and its absolutely fantastic.

slik 06-29-2018 09:22 AM

Meltzer gets a lot of random hate -- at the end of the day he's got the best track record of wrestling journalists, followed by Mike Johnson at PWInsider (but I can't bring myself to visit PWInsider's site, it's just too awful). And then probably Wade Keller, who doesn't spend much time breaking news so much as reporting/analyzing. John Pollock from PostNews and Sean Ross Sapp are pretty good too.


Anyways, Meltzer gets a lot of random hate.

slik 06-29-2018 09:24 AM

I always get a kick out of how anytime Meltzer praises a company/match/wrestler that isn't WWE the standard "Y DONT U MOVE TO JAPAN NERRD" response...because only WWE is allowed to exist and liking anything else is not to be allowed.

Ol Dirty Dastard 06-29-2018 09:51 AM

never taking into account meltzer shits on Japan quite regularly.

Bad News Gertner 06-29-2018 10:39 AM

If the Golden State Warriors are the best basketball team and I say they are the basketball team that doesn't mean I'm being biased. That's just stating the truth. Same with Meltzer and New Japan.

I'm really not a big fan of CFO$'s work.

Very rarely do I find one of their themes to be really good and I find the majority of their work just comes across as being lazy and unimaginative.

The last one I liked was Mandy Rose's theme but that got old really fast as the theme is forty-five seconds long but it's just looped for over five minutes.

According to Vince, XFL 2.0 is going to cost around $500 million to run and support for its first 3 years. Already blew through the initial $100 million just laying the foundation for the league's revival.

Great Honky Tonk Man story.

HTM has a habit of buying expired trademarks including Roddy Piper's and The Patriot

At indie shows HTM will have his son wear the Patriot mask at gimmick tables and have him sit next to him signing autographs as the Patriot.

According to his wife, Matt Cappotelli passed away earlier today due to brain cancer.

You think you can be prepared for this when you know it’s coming, but you just can’t. The only person who’s comfort I want right now is the one who can’t give it to me. I miss him so much. I know where he is now is so much better, but it doesn’t change how much I miss him."

Cappotelli was 38 years old.

Last June, Cappotelli underwent surgery after being diagnosed with a grade four glioblastoma brain tumor. Ninety percent of the tumor was able to be removed, but the remaining portion was too close to his brain stem. Lindsay wrote last month that they met with Cappotelli's neuro-oncologist and it was decided that he was at the point where they should discontinue treatments.


Bad News Gertner 06-29-2018 08:42 PM

I was just thinking about Matt a few days ago watching an old Sunday Night Heat show and their were ads for Tough Enough. Hadn't heard anything since his wife posted that he stopped treatment. It had been some time so I was hoping he was making a miraculous recovery. What a sad story

After having all the champs retain at their Best in the World 2018 event, ROH had a title change occur at yesterday's TV tapings.

SPOILER: show
Jay Lethal defeated Dalton Castle for the ROH Championship.

It was a Fatal 4-Way match with Cody and Matt Taven as the other guys involved. Lethal got the pin over Castle.

Mr. Nerfect 07-01-2018 03:25 AM

SPOILER: show
I love me some Jay Lethal. It feels like he is "played out" in ROH though. I don't really want to see him in WWE though. I was surprised to see that it was only Lethal's second title win. I guess he did have those TV Title reigns too. I feel the same way about The Briscoes too. It feels like they've been there "too long" and should really be working in New Japan or at Takeover shows, or something.

Mr. Nerfect 07-01-2018 03:31 AM

I'm looking at the guys in ROH at the moment. How is Punishment Martinez? He seems like a guy that would be on the WWE's radar. He seems like a big dude, and he's from Puerto Rico.

Mr. Nerfect 07-01-2018 03:35 AM

Manu works for ROH? Holy shit, The Briscoes are only 33 and 34 years old, respectively.

Mr. Nerfect 07-01-2018 03:44 AM

Rhett Titus is only 30 years old. I'm surprised the WWE has never made a play to get Scorpio Sky either. Good looking man with experience in wrestling and the media.

Mr. Nerfect 07-01-2018 03:53 AM

I just read some NXT house show results and saw that Steve Cutler is still down there. Wow. It seems like he's in a tag team with Wesley Blake and that Gunner is aligned with them also.

Punishment has a good luck but he's kind of sloppy in the ring.

Manu wrestled J-Rocc in what was dubbed a “Future of Honor” match featuring young talent.

That would be fine, except Manu is 33 and J-Rocc is 40.

Being fair: did he not win that season of Tough Enough? That *technically* makes this true, but this kinda sidelined whatever was going to happen with him, if anything.

If somebody like Big Bully Busick could skate by on his cup of coffee all the way to his grave, we can call Capotelli a WWE Star.
