Blassie joining Vince on commentary. Thank God. Vince is so boring.

[Bad News Gertner]

Match has been going for 3 minutes and they've done nothing.

[Bad News Gertner]

Bleh. I hope Backlund faves someone decent on this card.

[Fignuts]

Scicluna is fucking horrible. Jesus Christ. DeNucci won't take a bump because he's 50. The combined age of the wrestlers in this match is like 98.

The first puroresu dvd I ever bought was the big Noah show in 03 where Kobashi beat Misiwa for the title. The whole card was great, but it started with a tag match featuring Rikidozans kids who were in their late 50's (and were never very good to begin with) and rusher kimura who was in his 70's. Watching them slowly and awkwardly "wrestle" had me screaming in my head that I wasted my money.

[Bad News Gertner]

Rusher Kimura used to be pretty sweet

[Bad News Gertner]

Yatsu with a hot Comeback but the Hangman won't sell anything

[Bad News Gertner]

Yatsu drops a running elbow and wins. Thank God this is over.

[Fignuts]

Rusher Kimura used to be pretty sweet

Oh yeah, he had a storied career but at this point he couldn't even hit the ropes. He was so old and frail that it looked like the atmosphere wad crushing him into a diamond. Made Ric Flair today look like a spring chicken.

Should see if you canwatch it just for how ridiculous it looks.

[Bad News Gertner]

Oh fuck Backlund is facing King Kong Mosca. This is a horrible card. Mosca is the shits.

[Bad News Gertner]

Backlund was so far ahead of anybody in this company in terms of in ring work. Backlund was the man.

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol yeah I can't imagine Kimura in 2003. Yeesh.

[Bad News Gertner]

Backlund wrote in his book that he hated wrestling Mosca and legit knocked him on his ass with a punch because Mosca was a dick.

[Bad News Gertner]

Arnold Skaaland mangling Backlund. Skaaland was terrible. He added nothing to Bruno or Backlund.

[Bad News Gertner]

Match hasn't been THAT bad so far.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

but he did get in that sweet old man fight

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Mosca that is

[Bad News Gertner]

Backlund has a pretty sweet piledriver. Hopefully he drops that big goof Mosca on his head!

[Bad News Gertner]

Nice arm work by Backlund in this match.

[Bad News Gertner]

Loud " Bobby" chant from the MSG crowd as Backlund tries to make a comeback.

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Backlund was under rated.

[Bad News Gertner]

Backlund with a piledriver on Mosca! Only gets a two.

[Bad News Gertner]

Backlund was under rated.

Lol its so true. The WWF Champ for 5 years being under-rated. Imagine that.

[Bad News Gertner]

Ref bump! What a b.s finish. There's no way Mosca gets a return bout, although based on this finish I'm guessing he did.. Mosca wins by dq.

[screech]

I met DeNucci at the pro wrestling hall of fame a few years ago. He was a good dude. Lots of neat stories.

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol that ref bump was so bad.

[screech]

That's about all I can add here haha

[Bad News Gertner]

I met DeNucci at the pro wrestling hall of fame a few years ago. He was a good dude. Lots of neat stories.

I can't even imagine. He was a huge star in Austrailia

[Bad News Gertner]

Alley Fight between Sgt Slaughter and Pat Patterson! I didn't check the card before the show. Fuck yes!

[Bad News Gertner]

This match is legendary

[Bad News Gertner]

The Grand Wizard of Wrestling managing Slaughter. He died of cancer in 83. Loved the Grand Wizard. I've seen this match a couple times. Legit 5 star match. Look it up on youtube.

[Bad News Gertner]

Vince is shown ringside calling the match with a mic in his hand. How times have changed.

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol Holy shit, Patterson hit Slaughter in the face with his belt.

[Emperor Smeat]

Vince alone on commentary. He was so bland until 84.

Is that when Jesse Ventura starts to become a commentator or later?

[Bad News Gertner]

Crowd is going apeshit. The WWF NEVER did matches like this, especially in MSG

[Bad News Gertner]

Is that when Jesse Ventura starts to become a commentator or later?

Ventura joined in 85. Vince did commentary with either Mene Gene, Pat Patterson or Bruno before then.

[Bad News Gertner]

Vince hardly did MSG shows after 1982. Gorilla and a combination of either Lord Alfred, Mene Gene or Patterson did colour with him.

[Emperor Smeat]

When did Gorilla Monsoon start since I think I started to watch wrestling when it was him and a British guy whose name I'm forgetting were the main commentators for tv?

[Emperor Smeat]

Vince hardly did MSG shows after 1982. Gorilla and a combination of either Lord Alfred, Mene Gene or Patterson did colour with him.

Ah yes, Lord Alfred was his name for the British guy.

[Bad News Gertner]

That would be Lord Alfred Hayes. Gorilla started doing MSG and Spectrum shows in 1983. Vince and Bruno handled the T.V tapings for the most part until like 85 when Jesse joined and they became a trio.

[Bad News Gertner]

I have about 100 MSG, Philly Spectrum and Boston Garden shows plus a scattering of Maple Leaf Garden, Kiel Auditorium and Baltimore/ Washington shows from 1979 to 1986 on my External Hard Drive. I have some pretty rare shit.

[Bad News Gertner]

Slaughter and Patterson bleeding buckets

[Bad News Gertner]

I don't think people realize how amazing Slaughter was until 1984. Best bumping big man in the business between 79-84

[Bad News Gertner]

Patterson whack Slaughter over and over gain with his boot. Wizard throws in the towel! Slaughter looks like he's about to die from bloodloss. What a match!

[Bad News Gertner]

They'll probably throw on some Midget match after this to calm the crowd down

[Bad News Gertner]

I stand corrected. Captain Louis Albano, Moondog Rex and Stan Hansen vs Gorilla Monsoon, Tony Garea and Rick Martel! This should be very interesting.

[Bad News Gertner]

Garea and Martel were a hell of a tag team. I have a couple Stan Hansen vs Bob Backlund title matches. Incredible fights.

[Bad News Gertner]

Ken Patera retired Gorilla Monsoon in early 1980 at a Spectrum show. I only have clips of the match.

[Bad News Gertner]

Albano is notorious for not taking any bumps. If someone punches him he'll just stagger around the ring. He's probably shit faced like me

[Bad News Gertner]

Moondogs are the tag Champ. Moondog King isn't here so Captain Lou is taking his place. I'm guessing this is when Moondog King couldn't get into the country so they had to replace him as tag Champ with Moondog Spot.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I think you're right on Sgt. Slaughter, Gerty.

[Bad News Gertner]

It's sad that I have this much useless if stored in my head yet I can't remember my girlfriend's birthday

[Bad News Gertner]

Martel was so awesome. He and Garea lost the belts to the Moondogs before winning them back and losing them shortly after to Mr.Fuji and Mr.Saito in one of the best finishes to a tag title match I've seen.

[Bad News Gertner]

Pretty solid match so far. Gorilla finally gets in the ring and beats the shit out of Rex. Can't wait till Hansen gets in there. Been mostly Garea/Martel and Moondog Rex.

[Bad News Gertner]

Martel has a fucking amazing dropkick

[Bad News Gertner]

Stan the fucking man tags in and starts kicking the shit out of everyone

[Bad News Gertner]

I can see why Gorilla retired. Lol he's pretty bad at this point.

[Bad News Gertner]

Alright Martel vs Hansen. The heels should gets some good hest here. Martel is a great seller/face in peril

[Bad News Gertner]

The heels triple team Martel and the ref calls for the bell. Are you kidding me? That was a flat finish.

[Bad News Gertner]

Oops, didn't hear that this was 2 out of three falls. Still though, very flat finish.

[Bad News Gertner]

I hope Hansen takes Garea's fucking head off with a lariat.

[Bad News Gertner]

Gorilla hits the big splash on Rex and that's it. Well it started off well, but was pretty under whelming.

[Bad News Gertner]

Hansen tries to take on all three guys post match because he's Stan Hansen.

[Bad News Gertner]

Fink announcing next month's card. The Champ always wrestled mid card because Fink or whomever was announcing would announce next month card towards the end of the show and they didn't want to spoil the World Title match.

[Bad News Gertner]

So that b.s about Hogan getting preferential treatment was nonsense because they had been doing that forever

[Bad News Gertner]

Haha and here come the midgets. Next month is Muraco's MSG debut vs Rick Martel and Dusty Rhodes faces Killer Khan. Tatsumi Fujinami faces Rick McGraw for the WWF Junior Heavyweight title. I don't have this card.....yet.

[Bad News Gertner]

When you've seen one midget match you've seen them all. Fast forwarding.

[Bad News Gertner]

Lol one of the black midget wrestlers is named Kid Chocolate. Haha fuck my life.

[Bad News Gertner]

Well shit, they actually put a midget match on the last match of the card. Not a good show except for the Maivia vs McGraw match and the Patterson vs Slaughter match.


Gonna drink more. Probably the one and only time I do this.

Maivia wins with a belly to back -back breaker. Nice little match.

The Belly to Back Backbreaker is so barbaric looking. It needs to make a comeback.

[Evil Vito]

It's all I watch.

At this point do you think there's anything WWE or any other rasslin' company could do to draw you back in?

[Bad News Gertner]

It not that I think it sucks or anything. It's just not what I'm interested in. Ive seen what Ive needed to see. It's pretty cool coming across something historic like Kerry Von Erich wrestling at Madison Square Garden or Salvatore Bellomo wrestling Moondog Spot in Kuwait in front of a bunch of Arab men with Arab commentary. I have a lot of cool WWWF/WWF stuff in my collection.

[Bad News Gertner]

The Belly to Back Backbreaker is so barbaric looking. It needs to make a comeback.

From a running gag involving the face NJPW wrestler Toru Yano makes. For what they mean, the first one is when the brand split started, the second one I assume RAW have no momentum going into SummerSlam, and the others when RAW had its worst stretch of the year.

Also, does anyone have a ratings chart for smackdown this year?
/wooo only does it for RAW and a quick search online didn't have one just for 2016 Smackdown.

It would probably look similar to RAW but with a lot less big spikes and maybe a bit more flatter since they'd have a lot more mini-spikes throughout the year. Also unlike RAW, would actually be showing a really good net rise for the year compared to how bad it started.

Observer had the breakdown in terms of numbers since the Brand Split era started for Smackdown. http://www.f4wonline.com/wwe-news/smackdown-ratings-top-raw-first-time-wwe-draft-227331

Yo, so I'm on a bit of a Japanese wrestling kick at the moment, but I'm having difficulty finding anything online outside of NJPW. Anyone know of any places to see other stuff too? Also, any recommendations of matches/shows/promotions/etc that are noteworthy would be greatly appreciated.

[Emperor Smeat]

Only watch very little Japanese wrestling but older/classic AJPW is supposedly pretty great overall. Before NJPW's recent renaissance and their own struggles, that was the major company in Japan sort of like how the WWE is here in the US I believe.

NOAH is another big promotion and where you can find a lot of KENTA/Itami matches but in recent years they've been struggling as a company. They pretty much have been semi-under NJPW's umbrella the past couple of years and where Minoru Suzuki went when he left NJPW for a bit.

This place is pretty good as far as news and results go. Might be able to Google some of the recommended matches to see if anything pops up.

WWE's website had a pretty interesting video about their wishlist for 2017 and one involved seeing Daniel Bryan go into the Hall next year.

A Shield reunion

A trade between Smackdown and Raw
Daniel Bryan in the Hall of Fame


#1, #5, and #6 are likely locks for happening next year.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Is Mike Goldberg related to Mr. Skin? They have a similar voice.

[Emperor Smeat]

Also, does anyone have a ratings chart for smackdown this year?

Turns out a chart for Smackdown covering the entire year was actually made very recently. Person who did it is someone the Observer referenced a bunch of times in recent months for analytical type stuff.

Id imagine a Styles Nakamura match in WWE would be 10x better than WK 10.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I don't. Seems like there's much more freedom in NJPW in how their matches are structured. They also hit a lot harder. Not to say those two wouldn't tear the house down in any promotion.

But they're unlikely to get the benefit of the doubt and go full bore in wwe.

Btw I watched the match and the tv edit is very good but I wanna see the full match

[Simple Fan]

A WWE match would be good but for all the reasons Damian Rey pointed out it wouldn't match up. Had a good story behind it as well on top of both of them leaving for WWE. Was a great match and I hope they wrestle in WWE.

They will be showing Wrestle Kingdom 11 like a week after it happens over a 4 week period. Will air backwards with the main event first though. I think they are working on airing shows a week after they happen in Japan.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I am absolutely enamored with NJPW right now. God bless AXS tv. Think my current guys are Okada, who just oozes superstar, and Shibata. Guy's a beast. Also, Tanahashi is a fucking stud as well.

But yeah, overall their product is wonderful. Enjoyed everything I've seen and an excited about the super quick turnaround on getting Wrestle Kingdom on tv.

The wrestling is just so much more intense and they do a great job booking long term. I haven't minded the 10 month delay but it would be cool if they got shows on a shorter delay.

Really liked Niato's progression this year and think him and Tanahashi will have a great match at Wrestle Kingdom. Shibata and Goto should be killer as well. Whole are looks pretty good really.

Just saw the match where Okada dropped the belt to Naito. Which was great. Next episode had Naito defending against Ishii, who's a great hand.

And yes the wrestling is much more intense. They hit harder, the sequencing is crisp and everything just pops. Its a great alternative.

Shibata has mentioned the possibility of retiring the NEVER Openweight Championship but I hope they don't. Having it kind of legitimizes the NEVER 6 man titles and I don't really see them droping them after only a year or leave them as standalone NEVER branded titles.

Didn't Maria claim they slept their way into the company or something? Seems like she would bring that up if she was pissed at them.

There's probably more money in a Nikki Bella vs. Maria feud than most programs available to the company right now, haha. They also have Mickie James. Mike Bennett, Ken Doane & Mickie James targeting John Cena and Nikki Bella with Maria as their manager? Could probably carry SmackDown for a few months. You can keep Mike Mondo involved as the lesser Mike who is there to take the beatings, etc. Cena will need to beat someone on SmackDown tapings, and Mikey is perfect for that.

Lol, I just read the SmackDown report and realized the SmackDown Tag Titles changed hands. Welp, so much for that.

[Fignuts]

Yeah, I like american alpha and all, but that's fucking retarded. The wyatts could have been a superteam akin to JeriShow.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'm intrigued to see where they go with Alpha. There's time for a Revival call-up, but the roster is bloated enough as it is. Do they just fight The Wyatts forever? Will they be in a Champion vs. Champions Match against Sheamus & Cesaro at WrestleMania? That hardly seems big enough, even though Sheamus is like a four-time World Champion.

[Fignuts]

Is there a way to watch AXS TV online? I'd rather listen to JR and Barnett on commentary than Kelly and Corino.

Honestly Jr isn't the same. He doesn't have the same oomph in calling the matches

[Emperor Smeat]

Yeah, I like american alpha and all, but that's fucking retarded. The wyatts could have been a superteam akin to JeriShow.

I'd assume Alphas probably were meant to win it at Mania but Ryder getting hurt and Rhyno-Slater being in the breakup process screwed things up for the division for faces.

If Orton-Bray wasn't going to happen at Mania, that is probably is when the split begins instead of last week.

Probably due to him recording the commentary in a room somewhere 6+ months after the fact.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I can see them working towards Orton vs. Bray, but I'd much rather see The Family stick together at this point. Orton's persona works well with a group behind him to basically seal off the ring and let him have his way with whoever he wants.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Shibata has mentioned the possibility of retiring the NEVER Openweight Championship but I hope they don't. Having it kind of legitimizes the NEVER 6 man titles and I don't really see them droping them after only a year or leave them as standalone NEVER branded titles.

I would be pretty bummed if they ended the NEVER openweight title. I've enjoyed the matches I've seen from that division.

Just say where 48 year old Yugi Nagata wins the belt and put on a great match.

[Evil Vito]

Seeing Orton and Harper argue and Bray trying to separate them, I could actually see Bray kicking Harper out. At that point, WWE would have two choices.

Either Orton then immediately turns on Bray. Shocker! He outsmarted Wyatt and got Bray to dissolve his own family!

Or the better option, Wyatt and Orton remain a dangerous team and end up in a feud with a face Harper and Rowan team.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Harper as a babyface going against Bray and Orton? That has...intrigue. I'd be for it any other time of year, but I think we'll be seeing a lot of stuff happening at Mania and I worry if many things are going to get lost.

[Evil Vito]

Yeah, the one problem is it'd probably require Alpha dropping the belts back to Bray and Orton soonish. The feud doesn't NEED the tag belts but realistically the SmackDown tag division isn't getting two WrestleMania matches.

Not even sure you could have them wrestle a non-title tag match at Elimination Chamber either. First off I don't know if Rowan will be ready to go by then but also I think one or both of Orton and Wyatt will be needed to pad out the Chamber match itself.

[Evil Vito]

Actually, that might not be true.

If the Chamber is for the WWE Title, you can have Cena, Styles, Ambrose, Miz, Corbin, and Ziggler.

If you take Cena and Styles out and have them wrestle another title match...the Chamber would be for #1 contendership. So Undertaker would be in there and the last spot could go to someone like Kalisto just so he can do something batshit crazy off the cage.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I'm not sure the WWE won't just blow through things until then. I could see Orton facing Harper at the Chamber to set up a WrestleMania match with Bray, who is in the Chamber trying to achieve his ultimate glory. If Cena wins the WWE Title at the Rumble, or doesn't, whatever, then a Chamber of Styles, Cena, Ziggler, Ambrose, Wyatt and Corbin makes enough sense. You could also put Kane in there. Or have a lucky dip guy like Apollo Crews or Kalisto. If Sami Zayn ends up traded, they might not just shove him with The Miz and let him go into the Chamber to create an illusion that Daniel Bryan believes he can "win the big one."

Let's just go with Corbin in the Chamber:

* Cena (c) vs. Styles vs. Ambrose vs. Ziggler vs. Corbin vs. Wyatt for the WWE Title

* The Undertaker makes an appearance

* Randy Orton vs. Luke Harper

* The Miz (c) vs. Sami Zayn for the IC Title

* American Alpha (c) vs. The Fashion Police for the Tag Titles (or really any team)

* Alexa Bliss (c) defends the Women's Title

* Becky Lynch vs. Alexa Bliss' new minion

I mean, it's not the most epic card ever, but it's "solid" in terms of filler PPV.

If Sami Zayn ends up traded, they might not just shove him with The Miz and let him go into the Chamber to create an illusion that Daniel Bryan believes he can "win the big one."

Let's just go with Corbin in the Chamber:

* Cena (c) vs. Styles vs. Ambrose vs. Ziggler vs. Corbin vs. Wyatt for the WWE Title

* The Undertaker makes an appearance

* Randy Orton vs. Luke Harper

* The Miz (c) vs. Sami Zayn for the IC Title

* American Alpha (c) vs. The Fashion Police for the Tag Titles (or really any team)

* Alexa Bliss (c) defends the Women's Title

* Becky Lynch vs. Alexa Bliss' new minion

I mean, it's not the most epic card ever, but it's "solid" in terms of filler PPV.

It feels like Orton vs Wyatt needs to happen at Mania. To me the SDL side is a little weak without that program in there. Let's say it's Taker vs Cena, then maybe Ambrose vs Miz, and something with Styles. Compared to RAW, they need another big match.

Alpha could either fight the Usos or maybe even The Revival if they come in prior to Mania.

I get this feeling that Ellsworth enters the Rumble when Lesnar and Goldberg are in the ring by themselves, and tries to dump both at once. It ends either with the two double eliminating him, ala Trips and Austin or with a humorous "who ragdolls Ellsworth better" contest.

According to PWI, first name expected to be announced for this year's WWE Hall of Fame class will be:

Won't be the headliner though since a bigger name is getting revealed later.

That's a much deserving choice.

The Young Bucks are out here superkicking EVERYONE at Wrestlekingdom!

Do you just hate everything that's not WWE?

No. We hate WWE just as much.

Young Bucks are trash.

Wrestle Kingdoms main event is better than anything WWE put on last year and I would dare to bet anything next year. Omega even had an amazing intro video.

Didn't get to watch live, probably won't be able to sit down and watch the whole thing until the weekend.

But based on what I've heard it's kinda sad to realize that wrestling in 2017 has probably already peaked on January 4th.

Eh, it happened last year too. I mean, AJ Styles was in NJPW for a week or so last year, yet had his best match of the year there.

[Evil Vito]

WWE must now top it by having Reigns/Taker go 50 minutes before Reigns gets his feel good moment of retiring The Undertaker clean. Genius.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Nah, they'll just have an episode of Bring it to the Table where JBL will yell about how you're wrong about liking other brands of wrestling like he shilled for 3 hour Raws.

The only appeal whatsoever I can find in Bring it to the Table is that it's a 30 minute exercise in corporate insecurity.

WWE version of "Guess Who": https://www.amazon.com/Winning-Moves-Games-025201-Guess/dp/B0188R0MMC

"Yes"
"Are you Konnor?!"

As football season is basically over and Rumble is at the end of the month, I signed back up for the Network last night. I watched Bring It To The Table. It's basically Heyman and JBL daring the fans to boycott the product. The whole premise of the show is let's look at what fans on the internet are complaining about and tell them their opinion's are irrelevant because none of the fans are Vince McMahon.

While it's true that no matter what the fans think nothing will change unless Vince says so, it's not really a counter argument re: the actual flaws or quality of the product. It's basically saying "you're wrong and you can't do anything about it because you have no real alternative other than to stop consuming the product. Go ahead stop watching. We dare you."

Was the "this day in wrestling history" thread deleted? It was quite comical.

I was really distracted by the terrible grammar of a sign on SmackDown that said "I'm more phenomenal then AJ".

https://s29.postimg.org/o97m48nkn/image.png

It must be a US thing as every time I see the word "then" used instead of "than", it's always in the US.

[Cool King]

It reminded me of Orton's T-shirt, hat and other merchandise from back in the day.

How did that get mass produced?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Made in China.

Made in China, written down, quality controlled and sold anyway by America.

I took it more as making fun of the dumb complaints the IWC brings up and exposing how idiotic their complaints are. Best part was JBL taking about TV rights revenue. I feel like I've tried to explain that to people on here and have it fall in deaf ears.

I guess it depends what you think of the people who are launching the complaints. I in no way value their opinion, so it's tough to not make fun of them. But I can see how people on here like yourself would see it the other way.
