Mad Dog

Hell of a retirement ceremony for the DDT ladder and what a career with multiple Ironman Heavymetalweight Title reigns to it's name.

There was a Primetime Wrestling match with Rick Rude that was pretty good from 1989 as well.

Twice. He asked an agent and was told no and then asked Vince and was told no. So he double fucked up.

Is he the worst wrestler on the main roster now?

I hate Baron Corbin but man does Big Cass wish he had enough talent to be Baron Corbin.

If true, what a fucking moron. Don't rock the boat when you are a talentless big man that just shit the bed on PPV with a good worker. Enzo really was telling the truth when he said Cass was just a line he wrote.

So the lesson here is let Tyson agent all the matches.

I feel like Beefcake had become what I would call an average worker with bouts of slightly above average in 1989. He really wasn't that bad in the ring. Limited obviously but there are plenty of limited guys out there with far better reputations. Now, post injury he was the absolute shits but that was a pretty brutal injury he suffered. Virgil was okay too. Guy did his job and did it pretty well.

I like that he doesn't speak WWE. For all of his faults it feels like a human being is actually talking to you which I can't say about Cole most of the time.

I usually like Mauro but he was extra manic and over the top last night.

Are there any good historical resources for pro wrestling in Japan in the 50s and 60's. I am toying with the idea of doing an All Japan podcast where I go through the matches in chronological order but I want to also go back and hit matches in the JWA. I have quite a few matches from that era but I would like a good resource on the formation and things like that so I can properly communicate the history.

I love Gene Okerland. The rapport he had with a lot of the guys was just great. And I loved the subtle sleazy pervert that he presented himself as.

The Stand is really good. I think the Shining is also a really strong book from him if you can divorce it from the movie.

I ran across that SWS match with Tenta and Kitao. I totally forgot that match existed.

Ohno might need to consider trading the standard tights in for some pants.

I think you could move Liger forward a little bit with one of the Owen matches. I know opinion is kind of divided on those but I really enjoyed them.

Impact won the Observer award for best weekly TV in 2012 as well.

Pete Dunne's casual shrug at "you know you're a piece of garbage" was brilliant. This Kai storyline is fucking stupid unless you have her finally snap and take the belt off Baszler.

It's amazing what having some great matches at Mania and not being around all year long will do to change people's perspective, eh? Yeah, that seems to quickly fix a lot of guy's poor images.

She's unrecognizable now. I always liked Sherri Martel even if she was always made up to be a little scary during her WWE run.

EC3 in NXT kind of seems like a waste. He could be on the main roster.

I think I have that on a comp somewhere.

What would Sting's last great match be?

How much of the 80s is complete and in order for AJW? Would I mostly need to watch it via Classics?

I was trying to think back to my mentality at the time and I might have been inclined to vote for it for my hatred of Taker.
