The most consistently devastating move in professional wrestling is the low blow. Works regardless of who's using it

CombineThresher posted:"wrestling cool" is whatever was cool 5-10 years before wrestling caught onto it. This made me start thinking that maybe at least a part of "pro wrestling cool" is whatever your 5- to 12-year-old self would think is cool, and I am being serious and don't mean that as a bad thing. At its purest, when it's not trash carny garbage, there is a sweet innocence to pro wrestling

Check this out https://en.puwota.com/ Edit: Doesn't look like they have anything listed for January yet. Dunno when they'll start adding stuff Edit2: Ah, it just didn't load. Well, there's not much there yet anyway. It's still a long way off so I'm sure there'll be something, looking at Januaries from past years a cyborg mug fucked around with this message at 09:40 on Sep 10, 2019 |

Does anyone have the excellent and incomprehensible "davebnmeltzer" post lying around somewhere? I can never find it when I want to read it  I should probably save it.

I'm extremely fond of shirtless Jericho rambling on a random road in the middle of nowhere and cutting a promo on a tortoise. That one also got us "I'll see you on June 6 at Dominion... FUCKFACE!"

Yeah, fighting spirit is extremely important. The Japanese crowds will show their appreciation for a cheating rear end in a top hat who also displays fighting spirit. See: Suzuki, Taichi

jesus WEP posted:Should I watch NWA Powerrr? It's a fun, compact show that looks and feels unlike anything else out there. The wrestling itself is mostly solid but not amazing, but they have some really excellent and charismatic talkers there and they let them improv pretty much everything as far as I've understood. Give the first episode a watch and see if you like it!

Hellblazer187 posted:NWA Powerrr is pretty cool. Like, I don't know it's not a replacement for big arena type wrestling but it is a nice supplement. I can't imagine having NWA as the only show I'm watching but if you're following AEW and think like, what other show would I like to add to my wrestling menu I'd put NWA above all the other C tier leagues (ROH, Impact, MLW, probably more I'm not even remembering). It being on YouTube really helps.

One more post about closed-fist punched: Actual punches are REALLY loving BAD for you and a single good one can easily knock you out cold, break facial bones, cause permanent damage or, yes, even kill. This is obviously not optimal for pro wrestling where faking them would make the whole thing look (even more) ridiculous (than it is).

Even in WWE there are people who will have matches with zero planning. For instance the fantastic Sami Zayn vs Shinsuke Nakamura NXT match was, as far as we know, called entirely on the fly. Then there are people like Randy Savage who would insist on rehearsing his matches to absolute perfection, and if you saw his match at a house show and later on PPV, it would literally be the exact same match.

NikkolasKing posted:Sorry I got another question. I mean anything can go wrong with a flying elbow but as far as I understand, the main problem is (at least in Savage's case) the flyer basically lands all of their mass on their own knee, which with time and hundreds of elbow drops wears it out horribly. Savage had some major knee issues. Some people seem to land it more on their hip which can't be healthy either. I'm sure someone injured someone else doing it too, because it's wrestling and a big dude is landing on top of another from a considerable height Let me know if I'm talking garbage

I imagine the difference is taking the impact on your own knees/hip/body vs actually having the other guy take the full brunt of the move

I think that Extreme Rules match was the one where Big Show sold his nuts getting crushed on the turnbuckle for like three minutes straight I do recall that match being much better than it had any business being.

Breitbart Is Rightbart posted:Q: is Marty Scurll taking the book at RoH the right move for him? The guy could go anywhere and do well. WWE would want him and pay him handsomely, AEW is his natutal home and would also pay him a bunch. Why is he sticking with Ring of Honor? Can he even book? Word is 1) He doesn't have the book but will be working alongside Delirious. 2) The ROH offer was simply put the best he got. Main roster WWE money for ~40 dates a year, involved with booking (also probably creative control?), is free to work for other promotions.

(Parts of?) next week's Dynamite happening on Jericho's boat got me thinking... Would any of this, you know, AEW and poo poo, be happening, at all or to this extent, if WWE had just approved NXT talent to appear on Jericho's first cruise like he wanted to?

It was one of the things that made Jericho go "yeah whatever, later Vince", and I don't think they'd have been able to get the TV deal or the viewership they have without Jericho. He's easily the biggest name they have

Blampied repeatedly slid into the DMs of several women asking for nudes and generally being a creep. He then apologized and voluntarily disappeared for a few years. I guess he feels like he’s been in his self-imposed internet jail for long enough now  He is a naturally charming guy with a knack for telling stories, be it summarizing someone’s career or fantasy booking an angle. So make of this all what you will, I’m sure you’ll come across him and his work if you follow even a couple of wrestling youtubers

They put the belt on Jinder with the expectation that they’d grab a huge new market in India and immediately afterwards their numbers there tanked and they scrapped the plan lol I just love everything about how that poo poo went down and will use any opportunity to post about it. It’s why Jinder’s reign had to be immortalized in the champ poll.
