  2. Fun little match that is worth watching but nothing particularly memorable happens. Kanemoto's facial expressions added quite a bit to the matter. I'm not familiar with the build to this, but given the hot start and Kanemoto's shit-kickery on AKIRA, the feel of a bitter grudge match is easily perceived despite the language barrier.

  4. anyone else missing rumble 2014 and episodes 1, 5 and 6 of raw from 1993 on the roku?
  5. anyone know which in your house ppvs are incomplete?
  6. My live feed also crapped out. Not good at all.
  7. This is a bit off topic, but I was disappointed that Cesaro didn't giant swing someone into one of the Chamber pods Sunday night. Realizing in full effect that probably says something terrible about me
  8. How do I check my parental controls for Roku? Roku doesn't have parental controls. Check the parental controls on the WWE network itself
  9. Yeah, as a longtime subscriber to MLB's streaming video, it usually doesn't work right for the first 1-2 weeks because of demand. WWE's live stream has been exponentially smoother. I am a bit anxious to see how it will handle demand on Mania night. VOD on the Roku is still quite buggy. Some stuff won't work. Everything seems to stop and start. Still, once they get the kinks worked out, and add to the VOD library, this'll be monopolizing my TV
  10. Still no luck on anything on demand via the Roku
  11. No luck with any on demand stuff using the Roku 2
  12. UFC only credentials approximately 10 outlets per show now.

  14. Love my Roku. Bought it for 60 bucks. When you get it, add the Plex app. Trust me.
  15. You would be correct.
  16. I can verify this is not the case from firsthand experience. http://www.gonzogeek.com/Blog/tabid/62/ID/...niel-Bryan.aspx I won't go so far as to say there were any great revelations, but we at least had an entertaining conversation.
  17. You would think with all the writers they could find someone who could write a promo to sound like something remotely resembling how people actually talk.
  18. That graph is awesome, and makes me miss the halcyon days of the true brand split.
  19. Check out NWA Smoky Mountain http://www.youtube.com/cwnews
  20. I have fond memories of that match, and that whole time period as a fan really. Ki vs Red (I believe it was the show before this, could be wrong) I watched a lot. I wonder how well that holds up? I came away pleased after watching and reviewing it earlier this year. http://www.prowrestlingpowerhouse.com/roh-...e-june-22-2002/
  21. Nope. I actually had sent him an email last night before seeing this thread. He said he had been banned and "burnt the bridge." So, unless someone also hacked his email…
  22. Or they'd do as many companies have done and decrease or cut the bonus structure and just expect their employees to get by on their regular salary.
  23. There's a rack that's full. Two racks attached to the wall, one of which got to such capacity I have to buy anchors for it. More on the shelf in my offive. About seven spindles. All organized on a spreadsheet.
  24. WWF Jr. Hvwt Title vs. NWA Intl Jr Hvwt Title-2/3 Falls: Tatsumi Fujinami vs. Steve Keirn, New Japan, 2/1/80 Always like a match where the matwork feels like a real struggle and it does here. Good psychology, as rather than just transition from mat stuff to more high-impact moves with no rhyme or reason, Keirn turns it into a slugfest after his failure to out-wrestle Fujinami. Hits another gear after Keirn rips off the bandage (which I always like), and the match stays red-hot from the end of the first fall through the entire second fall. Not as fun as the tag match, but still very solid. WWF Jr. Hvwt Title-Tatsumi Fujinami (Ch) vs. Dynamite Kid, New Japan, 2/5/80 What a fantastic match. Just a joy to watch. It combines all the positive aspects from the tag match involving both, as well as the bandage-ripping and clubbering from the Keirn singles. Dynamite's insistence on trying for the octopus is a little bit annoying (there should be a sign, “you must be THIS tall to attempt this submission”) but there is so much to like here. The crowd's super into it. The shrieks of dismay when Fujinami whiffs on the dropkick and the dive to the floor are great. Dynamite comes out of it looking quite strong as well. Easily the best match yet in 1980. 1980 1. WWF Jr. Hvwt Title-Tatsumi Fujinami (Ch) vs. Dynamite Kid, New Japan, 2/5/80 2. Tatsumi Fujinami & Kantaro Hoshino vs. Dynamite Kid & Steve Keirn, New Japan, 1/18/80 3. WWF Jr. Hvwt Title vs. NWA Intl Jr Hvwt Title-2/3 Falls: Tatsumi Fujinami vs. Steve Keirn, New Japan, 2/1/80 4. Lord Alfred Hayes vs. Bobby Heenan, AWA from St. Paul, 1/13/80
  25. I'm attacking this a little bit differently than Loss, but he said the more the merrier, so here are my thoughts on the first couple of matches on this endeavor. Lord Alfred Hayes vs. Bobby Heenan, AWA, 1/13/80 Some nifty bits during the match with Hayes busting out the World Of Sport matwork, but this mostly a comedy match. Fans sure do hate Heenan, and the crowd heat is pretty substantial. Roots of Regal's original schtick in Lord Alfred's mannerisms and gestures. Heenan's attack after the match only compounds the level of hatred he receives from the St. Paul crowd. A fun watch, and worth seeking out to see Hayes wrestle, but that's about it. Tatsumi Fujinami & Kantaro Hoshino vs. Dynamite Kid & Steve Keirn, New Japan, 1/18/80 I've seen this one before and forgot how much I enjoyed it. Fujinami's bodyscissors counter would gain approval from even today's “workrate” Internet fans. Later, Hoshino MURDERS Keirn on a running dropkick that gets him right in the ear. After winning the first fall, Dynamite Kid completely eats shit on a diving headbutt to help extend the match to a third fall. Keirn's repeat backbreakers were nice as well, and I enjoyed little touches like Keirn holding Hoshino on the mat so Dynamite could hit a flying kneedrop. Things get a little screwy in the third fall when Dynamite Kid decides he's going to over-sell everything that happens to him, but the finish is fantastic. I think there's something here that any wrestling fan would like.
