Uhh What Now? I can confirm all that, there is truth to the slightly jumped claim Bix made semi recently that the F4W board is "the 4chan of Pro Wrestling forums." Jesus that is fucking awful, what the hell is wrong with Meltzer and Alverez? More Alverez than Dave really. It has been on there for years. When the site merger happened the forum went into total fucking meltdown over the prospect of increased moderation due to presence of Dave and the Wrestling Observer on the site (essentially forum members thought the place would turn into Wrestling Classics or something over night). Pretty much that thread was one of the bargaining chips the forum members won during Bryan's attempts to return sanity to the board and gain support for the changes he was making. I'll stand up for a lot of things on that site which a few of you many look down upon but that thread isn’t one of them. In standing up for the F4W forum I will say that very few members post in that thread at all it, mainly it is the same confirmed creepy in real life guy over and over. Whenever someone brings up that they are taking a board related issue to Meltzer Bryan's stock answer is that Dave knows that the board is a cesspool so he doesnt really care but PLEASE note in saying this Im not saying that dave knows or tolerates that thread. So what your are saying is that the people on the figure four board demanded that Alverez keep a kiddie porn thread open as a concession for allowing Dave Meltzer to join the site, and Alverez agreed to it? And Meltzer willing joined a site which not only has a kiddie porn thread, but made the continuation of the kiddie porn thread a prerequisite of the merger? That is basically indefensible.

Uhh What Now? I can confirm all that, there is truth to the stilghtly jumped claim Bix made semi recently that the F4W board is "the 4chan of Pro Wrestling forums." Jesus that is fucking awful, what the hell is wrong with Meltzer and Alverez?

Uhh What Now?

Looks like I dug Negro Navarro/Hijo del Cien Caras/Mascara Ano 2000 Jr. vs. Pantera/Mano Negra/El Halcon (IWRG, 8/21/08) Don't have a review handy, but I imagine the good in the match came from Navarro, Pantera and Mano Negra.

He wasn't very good

Lawler was one of the biggest bumpers in wrestling history.

Where was the credit? I looked for one and didn't see it

So I read the current issue and I am 85% sure the DGUSA PPV report was written by Alverez not Meltzer. The comments are almost word for word Alverez's audio comments on the show. Dave didn't credit Bryan, and I wonder how much of the newsletter is ghostwritten at this point.

Dylan do you have a WON account?

That trolling may have been ghostwritten by Tomk

LeBron is clearly better a playing heel then Koshchek, will draw a shit ton more money at it too.

Do we really have enough Mondo available to judge? That would be my knee jerk response too, but the Fujinami match from the 70's was easily better then any Hector singles I have seen. Clearly Chavo and Eddie were on another level, but I don't think we have the footage to judge the other two. Mondo was definitely the weirdest, as he would always do a bunch of british and maestro lucha mat stuff, and odd bumps.

We are clearly not above trolling here. Also don't sell yourself short buddy, you are big enough to shit on. If someone wants to start a "Stupid shit on Segunda Caida" to crap on Tomk spelling or me using the same Teddy Atlas analogies 50 times for Fujiwara matches feel free.

The unavoidable Geno Mrosko treating WC troll Richard O'Sullivan like an actual filmaker. "I wonder if Oscar winner Jeff Bridges is available?" I thought this site had editors? http://www.cagesideseats.com/2010/10/6/173...y-of-the-benoit

Seems only fair, we have a Torch thread and a WON thread, let's take shots at Bix.

I saw a fun Kabuki v. Muta match from WAR which ends with Kabuki getting on the mike and yelling "MUUUUTAAAA MY SOOOON, I FUCKING KILL YOU"

Yeah that article was Geno Mrosko level terrible

I think the only solution is to run a podcast with Wild Pegasus

Bryan does something well?

That's the thing I'd be interested in knowing. There's been enough ROH guys who worked for Evolve to cast doubt on that theory: Homicide, Hero, Claudio, and Jack Evans have all shown up in Evolve. And Davey Richards was one of the original founders of the company. But then he supposedly signed a new contract with ROH or something, and never worked for Evolve again. So there's something going on there, but I don't know exactly what. Jack Evans doesn't work Evolve or ROH

What was your problem with that Severn match? Severn is pretty useless, but Fujiwara did at least four cool things in that match, and his selling during the final run was great.

Here is my complete and accurate Fujiwara listing http://segundacaida.blogspot.com/2009/08/c...-of-all-of.html I rate the matches Skippable, Fun, Great and Epic. When there is a youtube or dailymotion link I usually link to it.

6000 posts in 5 years dating back to when this place was more than just pro wres talk. I'm not a post count = dick size kind of guy, but I don't think that kind of output is excessive. You don't consider what you write to be columns, fine. I'm not going to argue semantics. Just don't pretend you're breaking any new ground when DEAN~! was doing reviews of random Japanese indies six years ago. Also I think that if I ever reach the point where I'm posting on the internet to entertain people like yourself, that will be the day I hang up my keyboard. I've never been a "I hope I can sit at the cool kids' table" kind of guy, not going to start now. Man you are pretty much the most "I hope I can sit at the cool kids' table" kind of guy I have ever run across. Spectacular lack of self awareness to pull that defense out of pretty much nowhere. It works about as well as firing a pro wrestling nerd shot at someone with your 6063rd post on a board titled Pro Wrestling Only. This is the problem with teaching self esteem to kids in school, everyone thinks their special and interesting and they are completely unable to look at themselves objectively.

You took a flacid shot at the "columns" I write (pretty sure I have never written a column on anything) while seemingly ignoring the fact that you have 6000 post on Pro Wrestling Only, 6000 posts where you haven't made a single interesting observation, funny joke, intriguing take, or developed thought. 6000 fucking posts of drip drop stupidity, constant unending banality. For the love of god man, do something, anything to justify your constant limp piss stream.
