Admittedly I kind of like the piledriver being a killshot but I've been watching some Memphis stuff lately.

I mean, piledriver variants are still popular as finishes, people just put some extra stank on 'em now. You know on that subject, Kip Sabian should adopt Jerry Lynn's cradle piledriver.

could someone give a brief overview of the role of women in lucha libre in the 70s and 80s? I find luchadoras really interesting but it's hard to find information from earlier time periods and I'm not that knowledgeable about lucha in the first place. How were they treated (by fans and promoters) in comparison to women in Japan and the US at the time? who are some big names i should know? I know Pantera Sureña but that's about it.

So....which is the better Tanahashi opening theme - High Energy or Love and Energy? if you asked me when the switch was made I would of said High Energy 100% but now? I think I lean towards Love and Energy

Who are some of the better known wrestlers that wrestle left handed? Only two I can think of are Miz and Regal.

I'm by no means an expert in actual lucha, but I am Mexican. I wouldn't expect a luchadoras popping up. We have a very problematic relationship with women in general. When I was a kid in the 90's all I head was about the Apaches, and them eventually Sexy Star came in. I can't pinpoint exactly when, but it was really gradual.

I recall Michael Cole constantly saying Road Dogg was a lefty, as he would throw a few left jabs followed by a right (and yes, that is clearly a right handed fighting style so I never understood why he said that)

Nick Jr. Face posted:Cole also used to call a kip-up a "nip-up" Also, wrestling announcers used to have a bad habit of calling all leftys "southpaws," not understanding that "southpaw" refers to the stance right side forward/left side back stance that some leftys prefer, not the left hand being dominant.

Does Lance Storm still have a wrestling school? Coz I know when he went back to WWE to be a road agent, (or something similar), he shut it down. But then he was sacked during COVID, because WWE has such a swell HR department. And I know recently, (again coz of COVID), he is doing match critiques, where he will watch a match, and give a thorough critique with notes and have an in depth zoom conversation with a wrestler about it. Which he is apparently very good at. But does his school still accept students? It's in Canada, which is presumably dealing with the pandemic better than the USA. So maybe he has gone back to teaching wrestlers.

I thought he sold all of his wrestling school stuff (like the ring) before he started back at that WWE job?

Not sure, but it seemed like he was selling off most everything prior to closing SWA: https://twitter.com/LanceStorm/status/1195817376047980545 Storm does say he was physically just wearing down: https://www.mandatory.com/wrestlezone/news/1156071-lance-storm-chris-jericho-interview quote:The first part of the conversation Lance shares as to why he thought it was the appropriate time to close SWA, citing several reasons, one being that his 50-year old body is feeling the effects of bump-taking a little bit more, something he still does on a regular basis. He started with WWE in December 2019, informed WWE his travel insurance wouldn't cover a hospital stay in March, furloughed in April, and officially released in July, and hasn't worked since: https://www.sportsnet.ca/wwe/canadian-lance-storm-reflects-whats-next-wwe-release/ So it sounds like he didn't close his school just to work in WWE, but even if he hadn't, he'd still probably be sitting at home.

Lance is doing match critique and analysis through Zoom now for like 100 bucks a pop. It seems like he's doing really really well with it. His notes are also really interesting to read https://twitter.com/LanceStorm/status/1370966385854050306

You teach people how to wrestle so they can become big stars; the ones who don't become big stars become wrestling teachers. There's another version of this scam called "college."
