When did VPW2 come out? There were running specials in that I thought.

January 2000. That's a few months after Wrestlemania 2000, which was released a year after Revenge.

I bought mine in a bundle from a thrift store with an N64 and some other good games for like $40. I have no idea if they knew what it was because I didn’t at first since everything on the cartridge is in Japanese. I don’t even know if whoever sold it to them in the first place knew what it was or ever even played it because the N64 wasn’t modded to play Japanese games.

That was a good find.

Other way around - Sabu got jumped by some Yakuza guys after an FMW show and Mike Awesome cleaned house.

God it is still intensely funny that WWE refused to release Ali after he requested it, then waited until two days before he was scheduled for a title match to fire him.

Always loved the DDP move where he holds the arm up and spins around after delivering the cutter. Almost as much as I loved Stone Cold doing his weird falling over middle fingers or jaw jacking in the guys face after hitting the stunner.

Modern wrestling needs more wrestlers absolutely jacked up and going wild about hitting their finisher before even delivering the pin

He was just announced for a show I'm going to in mid-January in Corpus. My wife was laughing at how giddy I was when she showed me the announcement with a "is this somebody?".

Violent J is also going to be at that show :lol: (and PPA!)

That's like the most relatable poo poo. Also where does Shelton get the money to just MAKE a Godzilla clip like that????? I need Shelton in NJPW or as a hidden member of The Mogul Embassy that pops in now and then putting out banger matches.

Ren Ayabe usually tags with Shuji Ishikawa, a fellow tall man. But at New Age ChronicleZ 2 he tagged with Yuki Ishikawa instead, the much smaller BJW Deathmatch champion.

Whole gimmick of these shows is they only have guys who've been wrestling for under a decade, it's a lot of fun, Rising HAYATO is booking some good stuff.

This is how I find out there are two wrestlers named Yuki Ishikawa

I'd say that they should fight for the right to the name, but it'd depend what kind of match they were in. Clearly it should be a shoot-death hybrid match, just to make it fair.

Alexis Lete posted a video about not being in WWE anymore.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YInIDomWDkQ&t=4s

She realized WWE wasn't for her when she was told to hide a concussion and then her therapist told her it was fine to want out for that and it's so rare to see someone in wrestling having a smart realization and getting support for it.

Good for her for figuring that out and doing what was right for her, and whoever told her to hide their concussion can go gently caress themselves, that's monstrous.

I don't recognize the name, was she an NXT wrestler?

She was someone who never made it onto TV at the PC. She wasn't catching onto the wrestling very well and hoped she'd get a non wrestling role, but was told pitching non wrestling things would get her fired so she stopped. Then she was told she'd get a shot on TV in a speaking role, but that got pulled so she could be ready as a wrestler before she was on TV. So she started wondering if she was meant to do this, asked for a sign from God, got the concussion, got told that wrestlers need to work through stuff like that and soon after was let go (the concussion was unrelated to the release.) She told the person calling her up thank you and that this was a sign from God.
