So the World Martial Arts Title was created for Inoki in 78.

Inoki won the WWF title from Backlund in Japan in 1979. The plan was for Inoki to drop the title back to Backlund right before Backlund's tour end. Instead of dropping the title, the match ended in a no contest. The WWF being double crossed refused to acknowledge Inoki's win. They tried to get Inoki over in the U.S but it didn't work at all. From what I've heard, Inoki booked the no contest to try and get a rematch at MSG. Nobody in North America ever gave a shit about Inoki or pretty much all of the Japanesse wrestlers except for Tiger Mask and later the Bomb Angels/Glamour Girls. And that includes guys like Yoshi Yatsu, Fujinami, Choshu etc...

That's adorable. Glad that Curt Hawkins is having fun.

Does anyone else watch / follow 205 Live on a weekly basis?

Used to but haven't watched since Talking Smack went away.

Not sure if this is thread worthy but,

If you had to combine 3 past gimmicks to be dolphs new gimmick what would you combine and how?

I would choose for Dolph to be an Undead male pornstar who sells time shares for Puerto Rican condos.

Wwe should bring in the progressive liberal to battle adolph ziggler.

Random thought. I watched WCW religiously from 96 to 2001 and had no idea Brutus Beefcake was the Disciple until like the mid 2000's

I didn't recognize him for a long time as well. Probably the same amount of time if not longer tbh

i think i only realized it when i learned beefer was ed leslie, cuz at some point they called the disciple ed leslie.

According to Triple H, there was some talk in the WWE to name the Mae Young Classic after Fabulous Moolah instead. He rejected the idea in favor of Mae since he wanted her to be honored and felt she was a better symbol for the theme of the event.

Gee, I wonder why

Probably a good idea seeing as Moolah was a massive cunt.

The Moolah Classic: Winner gets to be the pimp of the other girls

the term is madame

Not the way she was doing it

haha "Is Moolah gonna have to choke a bitch?"

From the front page...

lol Looking for sympathy, playing the victim, kayfabing. There's a little bit of everything.

That statement from Sexy Star is... Quite something.

She would have been a lot better off not making a statement or at least actually apologize for the injury. The second paragraph is basically her not giving a shit about injuring Rosemary.

"Not aware of it" like multiple people saw Vampiro forcing her to go and fucking apologise to her. Fuck offff.

"I was doing what I had to do, what people deserve, to claw until the end. That happened, I submitted her."

Bitch was on Lucha Underground and apparently doesn't know that wrestling isn't real.

"As I said at the beginning: I will not stop, on behalf of all women who have been abused, physically or psychologically."

You mean like the one whose arm you tried to break?

There's so much "You dumb piece of shit" in this.

Of all the ways to try to get sympathy "I am a woman who has been abused" is the last way you should try to do it in this situation. lol

"I have made it. I was abused and now I am the abuser. Deal with it. -Love Sexy Star"

Jesus.

Fuck Sexy Star. Cunt bitch.

Lol well then she should definitely abuse other women. The circle of life

Was super happy last night when she came out to wrestle on Lucha Underground and TPWW favorite Joey Ryan killed the business and kicked her square in the face to win the match.

Sexy Star vs a debuting Ronda Rousey. Book that shit!

Apparently the main event of AAA's Triplemania XXV from last Saturday was the most watched wrestling match in almost 30 years according to the Observer. Generated around 22.8 for tv ratings and Meltzer stated you have to go back to the original Saturday Night Main Event shows to find similar numbers in North America.

Was a mask vs mask match between Dr Wagner Jr and Psycho Clown with Wagner getting paid around $250k for the fight and losing his mask.

Read that in the same tone of voice I read Shisen Kopf posts where he asks "What's trolling?"

What TV station aired it? I watched it on Twitch online.
