I can't get the video that embed but lol

Backlund looks like he snapped into 94 Backlund there which would have actually been really cool. If the destruction of the belt was a slow turn for him to his insanity character. But we are better off without Bob I can't stand his work tbh, I find him unbearably corny and fake.

Man I'm so glad that Steve O and Chris are doing well now. That was a really fun clip.

I can't imagine what that shot to the back of Steve O's head felt like....fuck.

This is great. Hogan's first title defense after winning against the Iron Sheik. Hogan vs Masked Superstar, enjoy the birth of WWE.

man, I fucking love Masked Superstar.

1984 WWF is so fucking great. My favourite year of the company. Hogan was amazing then. Such a great collection of heels for Hogan to fight. I can't recommend it enough.

Two years before he died, Misawa wrote a letter intended to be sent, in case he died in the ring, to his last opponent. It says something like:

''I'm sure you trusted me, and were doing your best, and I betrayed that trust. I'm really sorry.
Still, I want you to continue wrestling. It may be painful, but I want you to continue.''

Akitoshi Saito decided to keep going after getting this letter, and to this day he packs it in his bag for every show on every tour.

Stomping Grounds still not doing well...

That is great

I love hearing the crowd and the pops

"No Holds Barred" featured this as the first match. With Hulk as Rip and Superstar as the purple mascara wearing Jake Bullet.

Maybe it wasn't a wise idea after all to run a PPV 2 weeks after their Saudi show and be extra lazy with the card's big matches.

Same for wasting one of those two weeks on nothing of note for card building purposes.

Xavier Woods and Kenny Omega segment from last night's Giantbomb E3 Nite show:

Really? So many people I know toss up between which streaming services they are going to get. They bundle all that shit together. Things like Spotify and even gym memberships come into the equation too. I know quite a few people that have given up Stan (probably Australia's closest thing to a Netflix alternative) just because they want to get back into the gym. You wouldn't equate the gym with re-runs of Friends, but some people make that choice.

I wasn't thinking about it when I cancelled my WWE Network, because I cancelled that because they made Jinder Mahal champ (and I wasn't even watching old PPVs anymore), but if I had to choose between getting, say, New Japan World and Disney+, I'm definitely going to be thinking about how I want to spend my leisure time in front of screens.

Um, dude, there's going to be a lot more on there than animated stuff (and a lot of that shit is objectively fucking great film-making anyway). You're going to have Nat Geo, Marvel, Star Wars and all the properties they own. I'm actually mainly going to be getting it for classic Simpsons.

I often prefer it. There isn't that pressure to talk about what you've just seen, and you can go grab a bite to eat and do that post-film processing.

Why does Brie look like Chyna now. That shouldn’t be.

Can't unsee it.

Any good streaming sites for PPVs these days? Wouldn't mind having one book marked for the "big 4" plus the AEW shows.

Watching Bill Dundee in Memphis. I don't think I've ever seen his work before but he's like a little Bob Holly or something. Just knocking fuck out of people for real. Pretty proud he's a Scotsman. I like him, he's tiny.

He fights like Bob Holly but has the body type of and similar mannerisms to Kevin Sullivan.

Perfectly fit the Memphis style of wrestling. They didn't have matches, they had fights.

I like Buddy Landel too but I kind of liked him already from Smokey Mountain. He's savage putting on that figure four, easily my favourite figure four ever. Nobody cranks it like that, they all strain their chest and neck backwards. He leans in and cranks the legs like he's having a great time.

Bill Dundee has a mad accent. It's pretty cool though because he just goes with it and says daddyo and hit the road Jack and all of that great stuff.

Buddy's demons cost him a lot during his career.

Buddy Landel is one of my favorite wrestlers.

Am I blind or is the tv off

Nah you can kinda make out the split screen. Cameras back then just didn’t pick up the light from the tv very well.

A combination of flash and old tube television.

They also appear to be playing the Gamecube, so it couldn't be the 90s!

The scary part for ROH is they could be looking at a similar situation happening around 6 months from now since Rush, Bandido, and Cobb only signed 1 year deals with ROH. In Bandido and Cobb's cases, they only signed in order to get their foot in NJPW for their career's future.

ROH damaged themselves badly with the shitshow of a performance from their side of the G1 Supercard show when that should have been a huge spark for the company's momentum afterwards.

G1 in Dallas not selling tix well either currently, I wanted to go to this show but I can't make it work

STOMPING GROUNDS however is in disaster mode, sales wise

Like ROH - Yikes

I was trying to find the NXT UK thread to post about this but it seems the threads disappear after a period of time.

The 6 man Tag Main Event between British Strongstyle and Imperium was pretty damn good.

Early 2000's more like, they're using gamecube controllers.

Currently watching Verano de Escandalo which is the AAA equivalent to SummerSlam.

Watching two dudes who wrestle as exoticos... Mexico is real weird sometimes.

Sammy Guevara looks like Lucha Justin Bieber.

Is that on twitch?

Yeah. Pretty good Daga/Tessa vs Taya/Laredo Kid match.
