Ahahahah, this poo poo is amazing. I was all prepped to be like "sure I'll watch a recap of the corporate ministry storyline, why not?" and then I get to a wall of text explaining that Vince is a satanist and I just laughed for 30 seconds and then turned it off.

Oh dear christ, it gets worse as you watch it! The ref is just some dude in a (black, natch) t-shirt, and the camera dude is using his "take a picture at the same time you're recording!" mode on his lovely camera so you keep hearing some fake shutter noise.

On the positive side, the kids do seem to be hugely in to it, which is always nice.

There are exactlly 25 people in that gym. You should NOT be able to count how many people are in your venue. Even the shittiest CZW show or whatever can manage to put up 4 sides of chairs.

Here's a weird match:

Owen Hart vs Rip Rogers....in WCW...with Lance Russell on commentary...and the fans chanting "human being" at Rip during the match.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjWc1AFWT3g

And the clincher to the weirdness of that video, is that it was owen who started the crowd chanting it.

I shouldn't be surprised they kept Emma's entrance music since it seems to be the only thing they want her to do, but it still makes me chuckle every time I hear it.

I have a request. Scott Steiner once cut a promo where he started saying something, paused, and ended with "I don't know what the hell that means." I don't remember anything but this line. Please, can someone with more knowledge than I find it and post it?

You sure it wasn't Macho Man giving that promo?

Ya know, up until now, I've never actually *watched* a Wrestling Bear match. So I always just assumed that the reason it was always done back in the day is because it was a novel gimmick.
Now i know that it was simply because a bear sort of looks like he's wrestling when he paws at you. That's it. Thats The Joke. I mean, I've seen better matches put on by

Ya know, I was going to be a sarcastic jerk and be all like "That's the best Hunter match I've ever seen."

Then it's about 3 minutes later and my heart grew three sizes this day and now I'm pretty positive that's the greatest thing I've ever seen Hunter do.

Which is pretty funny in its own right, but then the rest are ACTUAL "in loving memory" videos. Which I guess is funny, in a weird sort of schadenfreude sort of way.

Paul Bearer is literal Satan, Jimmy Rave has a sword and Jesus turned up with a broom to cut a promo. Takes a stand against divorce.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ro1kr-1OyjU

Every time Ring Of Glory pops up around here, I kinda dig the overall gimmick. Christianity has a bunch of weird and cool mythology you can draw from in the same way that Chikara apes Comic Books. But then they go and gently caress it up by having Percy literally be Satan, and to literally have Jesus come out and Save Jimmy Rave from going to The Dark Side. Granted, this might just be because Russo was booking it and we all know what a BASTION of storytelling he is, but there's small poo poo like not making a big deal over the fact your Championship was a loving god damned Bastard Sword. Sword Marks, which are a real thing, love new swords with mythology around em, and you could have gotten some extra viewers just by doing simple poo poo like having close ups of the drat thing. But they didn't, so now here it is years later and there ain't poo poo about the company.

For those who need descriptions of everything (which is admittedly me) it's an episode of Livewire, of all things, from 1996. He's also entirely correct, it is something totally magical, as it's the only youtube video ever where all of the comments on it are completely accurate.

Gavok, help.
I have no loving clue what's going on in this video. I'm assuming Dasher was talking to the other personality of...Deucalion ( how do you even pronounce that?) and that's why they included that clip. I only recognize Equinox because of the Create-A-Costume Contest, but everyone else is confusing the poo poo out of me.

OH!No wonder I was confused, I was all like "didn't Create A Wrestler exist ages ago?" and then somehow forgot it was Dasher. So the mask reveal, we're still not supposed to know who it is right?

Atomicos Ridiculoso from the latest Chikara show.

The whole thing is a pretty great comedy match, It's the hardest I've laughed at a wrestling match in years.

Chikara is the best loving wrestling promotion.

ALSO! Holy gently caress, can we talk about that Documentary? I never realized how much this really bugs me.
It's Pro Wrestling. It's "Fake". The guy isn't actually fighting the girl. Why the gently caress do we have such a huge hang up about this?

Sara Del Ray did some of her best poo poo when she would just get to wrestle the men.

You can tell that this is like, the same reaction he had in 1997 during Starcade. Because only kids should ever get that physically excited over wrestling.

When you look back on it like this, The Shield breaking up makes total sense.
They were booked to be insanely better than everyone else on the roster, and when even Evolution (THE GREATEST STABLE EVER BECAUSE TRIPLE H IS IN IT DUHURR) got taken down too, their only competition was themselves and a crazy southern cult dude.

Then of course you remember the actual details of the break up and it all falls to pieces.

What I'm saying is that The Shield Was Awesome.

So I'm a bit confused. They finished Season 16, but then the next show they did which was the NPWD Show, was actually the premiere of Season 18 because Season 17 has been shot as a sort of TV Season type show?
