He looks like a super hero when he does it

[Mr. Nerfect]

Kobashi chops like he is freezing and about to catch hypothermia if he doesn’t get firewood and he doesn’t have any tools other than his hands. Anything else is unacceptable.

Honestly, modern puroresu kind of sucks. The whole “stand there and let me hit you” spot makes it look so fake. Once that’s up, there’s no drama you can milk from these guys being bad-asses — because they’re so obviously pussies.

Sort your shit out, Japan. I want to get behind you.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Going to go and watch some classic NOAH. I don’t know what they’re like now. I saw they had Timothy Thatcher, Rene Dupree and Rob Van Dam on their CyberFestiva show or whatever.

[Sepholio]

I think the rapid chops/strikes spots would look so much better if guys didn't just stand there and take it so casually. Have them try to cover up and defend themselves while the guy is wailing on them or something ffs. Act like it's a threat, like it hurts, like its real. It's basically like everyone has agreed to no sell the spot for some mysterious reason and it has become one of the spots I hate most in wrestling.

[Fignuts]

Kenoh, Go Shiozaki, Takeshi Suigera, Katsuhiko Nakajima, Atsushi Kotoge, Daisuke Harada, and Hajime Ohara are all spoken of in high regard.

Thanks for the tip. I’ve heard of some of those names.

There's a 20 second clip showing Natalya no-selling a finish against Liv at a live event this weekend.


Natalya takes the pin, IMMEDIATELY gets up and points and yells at Liv before rolling out. A bit like Austin Aries did when he threw his lil tantrum.


Never known Natalya's "backstage" behavior to understand if it is warranted or not. Guessing Liv fucked up pretty bad for her to do that shit in front of a crowd. I dunno.

Apparently, Natalya was saying "thank you".... but that tweet has been deleted.

Looked pretty shitty. Could have been Natalya trying to work an angle in, just a really shitty modern one. Thought her selling might have just been shit and she wanted to go into a “Next time I’ll beat you” sort of thing. But it does look way too fast a recovery and Liv looks rattled.

Pretty bad sign for how some in the division see Liv and how frustrated Nattie is. Could have ramifications.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Erick Stevens is a guy I remember exists every now and then. He just kind of disappeared.

Brent Albright is another guy. Even after his WWE run went nowhere, he still seemed to be someone that ROH and the NWA were interested in using. Then he just sort of stopped.

“Special Tennessee Rules” match?

So does only one member of a team have to slip it in their sister to win or both?

[slik]

It's really weird to me SummerSlam is in 2 weeks btw...doesn't feel right...

That said, they really should announce more matches for the show, here's the card so far:


Last Man Standing/Universal WWE Title
Brock Lesnar vs Roman

SD Women's Title
Ronda Rousey vs Liv Morgan

US Title
Theory vs Lashley

Special Tennessee Rules/Tag Titles w/ guest ref Jeff Jarrett
Usos vs Street Profits

Grudge Challenge
McAfee vs Corbin


assuming the following gets added to the card in the next 2 weeks

Drew McIntyre vs Sheamus

Becky vs Bianca

Logan Paul vs Miz

[Damian Rey 2.0]

So is Theory going to lose twice in one night? Because if they don’t burn his mitb to eat the pin so that Brock doesn’t have to lose again, then Jesus what are we doing here?

[Mr. Nerfect]

The only thing that gets me interested there is Corbin and McAfee, because McAfee is great. The rest is just…meh. Brock and Roman have the best story in wrestling, but it needs a meatier undercard. Theory and Lashley running again is a mistake imo. I get they can’t get Cena wrestling, but why not Lashley & Ziggler against Theory & Roode? Do Theory and Ziggler in a MITB Ladder Match on Raw and have Roode turn on Ziggler and become an associate of Theory’s. I dunno. That match needs something.

Becky vs. Bianca should definitely be added. Bianca getting her retribution against Becky at SummerSlam in Nashville makes sense. Lately they’ve been doing 7 match cards, right? The other one I’d add is Miz vs. Logan Paul if they’ve been teasing that on Raw. I haven’t really been following.

[DAMN iNATOR]

They might go 8 for the main card. Question is, if they do a kickoff/pre-show match, what would make for a good one to serve as an appetizer to the biggest party of the summer?

[Mr. Nerfect]

I don’t think they’ve done a pre-show match in quite a while. But looking at what they’ve got going on, I’d suggest The Mysterios vs. Balor & Priest.

I think that match gets run at Raw MSG when they’re doing Rey’s 20th anniversary.

Never realised he lost a brother the day before his last match.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I think that match gets run at Raw MSG when they’re doing Rey’s 20th anniversary.

That would make total sense. If they wanted to, they could just give Rey something bigger too. A match with Roman or something.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I personally think they’ll cap the show at 7 matches and the 2 we’ll get added are Bianca vs. Becky and Miz vs. Logan Paul.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Looks like he hurt himself more than the dude he’s wrestling.

[Gerard]

Moves like that look so fucking dumb, the opponent quite obviously is flopping forwards into the move, the obvious hope being nobody will notice while flip tits mcgee is attracting everyones attention in the air.

[Mr. Nerfect]

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Random idea I had for when Orton comes back. RKBro reforms for awhile with people expecting Randy to turn on Matt like he always does his partners. Instead, Matt RKOs Orton out of nowhere and challenges Orton for exclusive rights to the RKO and Riddle goes over and takes the move.

This idea just came to me when I was reading some comments from Orton about how much damage the RKO has done to his back from the thousands of times hes done it. Now that it's finally come back to bite him with his current back injury, it only makes sense to transition him away from the move. I like the idea of Riddle taking the move from him (since he already uses it) instead of just having Orton quit using with no explanation.

It’s a good idea based on something, but I just don’t want to see RKBro end right now. They’re so freakin’ over as a team. I’d much rather see Riddle turn than Orton, but there’s still so much they can do in their own corner of the universe there.

Back bumps in general have probably taken their toll on Orton. I doubt he’s going to avoid taking slams and basic bumps because of this. If he can’t do that anymore, I imagine he’s transition away entirely. That being said, it’s pretty insane to see a top guy let another guy do his finish in even more spectacular ways than he does. He’s really going above and beyond to usher Riddle in.

No need to split them up though.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I’m a big fan of Cesaro, so I kind of want to order Death Before Dishonor to see him become ROH World Champion. You’ve also got FTR vs. The Briscoes. And unless things have completely deteriorated, it would make sense for MJF to show up too. But I’m just too suspicious of Tony Khan and AEW to REALLY give a shit. What does ROH really mean?

[Mr. Nerfect]

I like Jay Lethal, but I really hope Samoa Joe wins that match, even though him as TV Champion feels weird. He’s like the most iconic World Champion they’ve had.

So according to fightful, Sasha Banks wants 30k to do conventions/signings. This is what legends like Sting get, and is only behind the likes of Hogan, Flair, HBK and Goldberg.

LOL she's nuts.

I remember her shitting on her fans in some interview, doesn't surprise me.

[Bad News Gertner]

She's already booked shows. She's also in Star Wars stuff and is probably the biggest female wrestling star in the world. She'll get her $30,000 easy.

Not sure who Tom Maghee is, is there something special about the match?

Tom Magee was supposed to be the heir to Hogans throne. There's a famous quote of Vince saying "that's my next Hulk Hogan".

He had this match with Bret where Bret made him look like a million bucks. This match was the holy grail for collectors.

Tom Magee was insanely athletic and strong as hell but had maybe the worst facial expressions of any wrestler ever. He never really advanced higher than WWF C Shows. He had a stop in Stampede and an infamous trips to Japan where he had terrible matches.

[Bad News Gertner]

He'd do stuff like this

Tom Magee would fit in perfectly today.

[Gerard]

So according to fightful, Sasha Banks wants 30k to do conventions/signings. This is what legends like Sting get, and is only behind the likes of Hogan, Flair, HBK and Goldberg.

LOL she's nuts.

30k for an angsty washout, lol comical.

[Bad News Gertner]

She's getting bookings.....

[Bad News Gertner]

So Road Dogg told a story on his podcast where D Lo gave him shit about being fucked on drugs during a match with Lo Down v Road Dogg and K Kwik.

This was his final match before getting released so I'm guessing this is it. Road Dogg doesn't seem very steady during this match and looks quite fucked up. Especially during the shmoz at the end


I also have to say Sultan/Iron Shiek/Tiger Ali Singh's music is one of the more underrated WWE themes

4bTyBN9LG2U

[#1-norm-fan]

She's already booked shows. She's also in Star Wars stuff and is probably the biggest female wrestling star in the world. She'll get her $30,000 easy.

I forgot about the Star Wars shit. Yeah, she’ll make that money back for whoever brings her in.

Tom Magee was insanely athletic and strong as hell but had maybe the worst facial expressions of any wrestler ever. He never really advanced higher than WWF C Shows. He had a stop in Stampede and an infamous trips to Japan where he had terrible matches.

He had a pretty good match with Arn Anderson, as well. But that was because he was in the ring with Arn Anderson, who was bumping and selling like mad while this guy was looking like Kenny Alpha.

I think the most special thing about this match was that Bret Hart was so good, he even worked the promoter.

[Bad News Gertner]

The Arn match I believe was in late 88, a couple years after the Bret match.

He wrestled Terry Gibbs on the C show loop quite a bit but never really improved. That match in Japan against Wajima was a complete joke. Never really "got it"

George Steele said in an interview that Magee would always be dressed nice, carrying around a notepad backstage instead of spending more time in the ring.

WWE brings in Petey Williams, changes his name (but lets him keep the "Maple Leaf Muscle" moniker), and gives him Dino Bravo's entrance music.

Then, they call up Oddyssey Jones from NXT by rehashing the Earthquake "pushup challenge" introduction gimmick.

[Sepholio]

...So Edge supposedly coming back next week. After what happened on RAW last night, I think I have their plan for him for SS figured out.

Edge and Rey Mysterio Jr vs Finn Balor and Damien Priest will battle in the second ever "custody of Dominick Mysterio" match.

[Sepholio]

Also JR finally turning into Jerry Lawler makes me chuckle.

[slik]

Ron The Dial, wherever he may be, would be saddened to learn Twitter has discovered Effy thrusts his crotch during matches and has decided that he must be a sexual predator in real life.

I heard about Titus O’Neil’s promo on Raw. Part of me wants to watch it and see just how awkward it was but I don’t think I can handle that much cringe at one time.

[slik]

Titus himself does not have cringey delivery so it was fine (I watched the clip)

Odd timing given the Vince stuff but I think it was more to highlight WWE promoting Titus's charity, which they ran an ad for later in the show

[#1-norm-fan]

Yeah, none of the worry was about Titus’ delivery. Titus is great. If you need an “ambassador” to smooth shit over, you could do much, MUCH worse.

In terms of 18-49 demo (archaic) in a dying medium when you only count ORIGINAL programming. Dynamite doesn’t even get more viewers than Big Bang Theory reruns. I don’t think it even tops it specifically in the demo.

These fucking lies, man. And none of that explains why fewer and fewer people give a flying fuck about wrestling. And this old cunt is so obsessed with “out of touch.” Dude, you’re 60. You’re not cool. It’s ok.

Anyone who likes wrestling is “out of touch.” If anyone in wrestling was in touch there would be a wrestling program that does better ratings than a sitcom about a former wrestler.

[Sepholio]

Yeah when you have to discount news programs, sports, reruns, broadcast networks and god knows what else to make a claim that Raw is #1 and Dynamite is #4...well, it just kills any credibility in that argument as far as I'm concerned. It's just as dumb as when people kept trying to claim AEW is a higher rated show than RAW/SD because they win 1 kEy DeMo and get slaughtered in total viewers and the rest of the demos.

I remember when I was like 10-15, all the guys watched rasslin. We'd talk about it all day at school after whatever show aired. Some of us were WWE guys, some WCW. We'd all sit around talking about both of them though. Now my son is that age...and he doesn't know a single person at his school, or any other activities he participates in, that watches wrestling. Not a one. He gets made fun of when people realize he watches it. This is to say that it ain't the same anymore. Wrestling is not in a good place. It may not be dead yet, but it gets closer every single day.

Bingo. Anything else is just denial. And folk like Dave are going to stick their fingers in their ears to ignore any reason. And the sad thing is that it is obviously important to them that wrestling hit some sort of cultural spot, otherwise they would pretend that its popularity doesn’t matter.

Murdoch vs. Murdoch.

What’s the deal with Aldis?

[Mr. Nerfect]

I hope this is just an angle. It would be nice to put Murdoch over in St. Louis, so hopefully they are just spreading the wealth and delaying Murdoch vs. Aldis.

Murdoch is so good. I didn’t appreciate him enough when he was in WWE. Real solid fucking talent. Not a bad choice for their World Champion. He’s missing something (credibility with indy nerds?), but I really like that it’s back on him.

The rumor is that Warner Bros Discovery want nothing to do with The Briscoes because of homophobic comments Jay made 10 years ago. If that is/was true, the idea of The Briscoes being involved with ROH going forward should it become featured on a WBD platform is unlikely. It’s possibly problematic even if ROH ends up elsewhere. You want to keep your lords and masters happy.

It’s possible that The Bucks were just jealous and didn’t want The Briscoes involved with AEW. There’s rumors they’re the ones behind Jay’s comments being brought to WBD in the first place.

I liked my theory better: Someone googled the Briscoes, found a recent promo where 80% of the content was the word "Fuck," and was like "Nope." But, it could also be the Bucks.

[Mr. Nerfect]

There’s a good chance that has something to do with it. TBS and TNT are still television — aesthetics play a big part. All the swearing and “authenticity” might have been a turn-off. But I do wonder why they’d Google The Briscoes in the first place.

[Mr. Nerfect]

So The Briscoes are apparently signed to ROH? It’s a good get for ROH, provided that the product doesn’t completely suck overall. I do not trust Tony Khan one bit, lol.

Briscoes vs. FTR and Claudio vs. Gresham should be top tier pro-wrestling. Should be. We’ll see.

[Mr. Nerfect]

The Righteous vs. Dalton Castle & The Boys has been added to DBD. I dunno. I’ve only see Bateman from The Righteous. He was…eh. Dalton Castle has a great entrance the first time you see it. But at least he’s an ROH guy that has been signed.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I’m *pretty* sure MJF is going to be at Death Before Dishonor. I think Tony will want to have great wrestling matches (maybe a few MOTY candidates) and at least one great promo. MJF joining the ROH roster could be that.

[Fignuts]

Meanwhile, Saturn is flirting with a 13 year old girl

[Mr. Nerfect]

I was thinking about starting a thread discussing classic puroresu. Maybe what your favorite match is, or who your favorite/underrated wrestler is and why. I’ve been trying to watch a joshi match a night and extend that to watching something classic from somewhere to expand my cultural tastes.

I just watched Jumbo Tsuruta vs. Genichiro Tenryu from June 5, 1989. Absolutely brilliant how the match builds. I’ve loved what I’ve seen from Tenryu. He’s a name I’ve probably slept on because I’ve been more historically interested in the Four Pillars era of All Japan. So much I love about Tenryu. Even how he stands out by wearing the yellow trimming on his boots. It’s simple and not bombastic, but still makes him stand out.

Can everyone using a Powerbomb as a finish please take note from Tenryu? The way he has the move countered in his matches just makes you want to see it more. Of course his opponents avoid it like the plague. It just makes it the forbidden fruit of the match. The pop Tenryu gets when he hits one on Tsuruta in this match is huge. Lots of wrestlers have taken the idea of hitting multiple finishers in their “epic” matches. Not many have taken how important it is to build and that if you hit one of your finishers, you better get a heightened reaction for two or three.

The way Tsuruta and Tenryu make you want to see what they’re showing you. Brilliant. And when something works for a guy in the match, they try it again. It doesn’t feel repetitive so much as it feels like a guy exploiting the same weakness he perceives his opponent to have. I love it when a guy hits a move and if it doesn’t finish the match, his mentality is like “Well let’s see if you can take another one.” Too many guys get cute with arranging their matches to be these set pieces of counters to counters to counters that don’t come organically from what kayfabe strategy and moments the wrestlers find themselves in.

A hidden highlight of this sort of style, when I feel it is done right, is when the “flow” of the match kind of breaks because a guy is just clubbing the other guy because he hasn’t been beaten yet, so he’s got to come up with his next big move. It feels like their strategy has kind of been thrown out, and it all feels very organic. It’s all got that mentality of the guys are trying to win, and they’re selling just how tough the other guy is. And they will make mistakes and go the long way about doing things sometimes, which is a great in-built excuse for losing, if that’s the way the booking goes.

Absolutely sublime pro-wrestling.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I love the post-match between those guys too.

After Tenryu beats Tsuruta with the second Powerbomb — which is just brilliant — Tsuruta is right up in Tenryu’s face like he wants to shake hands after the loss. I love this because it’s what an egomaniacal top star probably would find themselves doing to try and take over a moment having lost. It’s like a kayfabe version of Hogan stealing the spotlight from Warrior at WrestleMania VI. It may be where Hogan got the idea from.

Yeah Eddie jumps out. He'd just had a serious heel turn and now here he was having to work a show that, at the time, was viewed as mostly non-canon.

By the way, it doesn’t get talked about much so I’m wondering how well know it is… There’s a reason Kevin Dunn was bulletproof as long as Vince was in charge.

[BigCrippyZ]

Are you referring to some of the video library supposedly being saved from a fire by Dunn's father, or something else?

[#1-norm-fan]

No, that’s it.

I mean, I know Vince was cutthroat and would have tossed the fucker out if he had rocked the boat but taking advantage of that incident and being a yes man is what gave him a job for (Vince’s) life.

[#1-norm-fan]

As much shit as Kevin Dunn gets though, I’m surprised that story doesn’t come up more.

[Sepholio]

I never heard that story before.

[#1-norm-fan]

Kevin Dunn’s dad worked for the WWWF back in the 70s and was transporting some tapes when his car caught on fire. I assume because he drove like his son directs. He saved the tapes from the fire and since then, the Dunn family has supposedly been “guaranteed” work by the McMahon family.

Stephanie should be far enough removed from that family promise to say “fuck that shit” though.

[Fignuts]

So he's had a job all this time because his dad almost destroyed a priceless video library.

Fucking what

[Mr. Nerfect]

The rumor is that it’s contributed. He’s also a major kiss-ass and his team does do a good job with production when it comes to packages, collections, etc. His direction with the cameras and views on wrestling suck, but are also probably tailored towards Vince too.
