concrete1992

VERY hopeful that VanSlyke comes out better from the experience. From Twitter, you can tell he wants to work like those big men, Vader, Hansen, ect.. Live though he comes off as someone that can't quite hit those notes. If he works stiff then he would be a real dreadful wrestler. Has a lariat but not much more as far as nice offense. Working against at least a couple brutes(son of a bitch) he hopefully will take that and run with it. Fingers crossed Jay Freddie and Yusuke Kodama pair off in W-1 at least a couple times. Assume he either teams or works across Rionne but who knows. W-1 has been hotter this year it seems as far as in-ring but not sure where these two come into the mix.

Went with Somewhat Enthused despite the dirt worst build. And even then I think I'm overstating my interest. I think I've fallen into the trap once again of thinking that Vinnie Mac has changed plans and won't be going with Reigns. At this point it would be a fantastic surprise if Lesnar gets the belt back but I won't let myself commit to the match being able to easily go either way. I won't let myself get burned again. 4-Way tag looks like it'll be fun but it is really just traditional filler. Enjoyed the Andre Battle Royal last year and hope I enjoy it again. Maybe the winner will do something this year. H-Man versus Sting would be a pleasant surprise as long as it isn't complete and utter garbage. All I want from the IC match is a fun MITB. Pulling for R-Truth to do a super dumb bump. Rusev/Cena feels like the only match deserving of WrestleMania which is odd when thinking spectacle. Both of them have put everything into building this match. Cena winning will put a damper on this sadly. THE STREAK IS DEAD AND THESE TAKER MATCHES SHOULD BE TOO #GiveDivasAChance Orton and Rollins could put on a strong 20 minute piss break. Lesnar and Reigns could put on a darn good HOSS main event for Mania...or it could be a complete trainwreck. The end feels POSSIBLY in question but like I said, I AIN'T BUYIN' IT YET!

Dean Allmark is someone who I discovered only a couple years ago but once that happened I'm not sure he's a guy I can consider outside of the Top 100 in a given year (Some Top 100 in '12 '13 '14 ect.). That being said, not a Top 100 ALL TIMER. Which isn't a slight to him at all but it is hard for me to rally behind a guy that I don't think has enough marquee matches to his name and often matches at least on the cusp of greatness come with James Mason who I'm not even considering either.

Can't wait until Cheick Kongo is in Cedric Alexander's corner and Ken Shamrock is in Kyle O'Reilly's corner for the ROH championship. BIG FIGHT FEEL!

I think my biggest take away from this whole thread is that if you said Jeff Jarrett after that JJ MMA video then you are possibly human scum and should no longer be allowed on the internet. All time great wrestling moment if there ever was one. Least favorite person? Yeah, I got nothing. I think Brandon Stroud is a whack job that works a shite pseudo-intellectual gimmick and vomit in my mouth a wee bit when someone on twitter decides to retweet something of his. Does that count? EDIT: Just read Parv's other thread. Changing my choice to Parv!

That doesn't help his #numbers. He plays the game. He plays to win. Also, thought the opening two matches to the show were SOLID HOOTS. The main event treaded into NEGATIVE 5 HOOT territory. A shame.

Find it absolutely hilarious/fantastic that Binghamton of all places(where I live) is drawing the biggest numbers.

HEAVILY inspired by the Sin Cara vs Cesaro match from this week's main event: What are some notable situations where a worker was on fire one night and abysmal the next or vice versa?

JvK puts the "Self-servicing poll" in PWO...wait a second... I think the poll sorta removes the argument for Waltman who is pretty clearly not seen above Arn by most. It is less about Grimmas thinking Waltman is better but the overall idea that it is closer than it would appear. But the poll actually works against that entire thought sadly so Waltman might as well be miles away from Arn.

I'm on the BOB SAPP TO WWE train if that starts coming up. Cause Bob Sapp is a wrestling AND MMA god. And that is a shoot.

Decided on watching ALL the No Mercy shows and seeing how that goes. So far, not great. Here's my review of the 2nd No Mercy in 1999. https://spandexarestillcool.wordpress.com/2015/02/08/wwf-no-mercy-1999-review/

Not sure how wrestling programming on a smaller scale hasn't adapted itself to being more capable of being binge-watched. Maybe a different topic but it almost feels as if older programming is as capable if not more to be watched that way...which is weird.

Name of worker: Eddie Kingston Promotion (and year): Chikara 2011 Link to promo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1AGjIQKxNE Why you think it's great: Not an original pick...but no one has mentioned it yet. I'm a younger fan and I was interested in CHIKARA's first iPPV. Was debating if I wanted to see feedback for it before I bought it or watch it live but was sorta leaning to no since I wasn't falling in love with the card. Then I saw this promo. There was no doubt in my mind that I wanted to see this. It was the first time I had personally been TALKED into buying something. Based on such real emotion that he had and then the match itself delivered in every possible way and for me might be that promotion's best match ever. Yeah, this promo still gives me chills.

Oh, once I saw Generation Next reunion I was hoping Gabe was gonna push it to that next level.

Copied the card so far and such. They've also teased Hero vs Thatcher/Busick. And Galloway vs Strong+Unification with Gargano. Not thrilled with the GeNext opponents. Interested to see how a Galloway vs PJ Black match looks like on the indies. Wonder what they'll do with Tommy End. No loss in my eyes with Nese missing the weekend.

I'm forward to at least a Top 50 from the guests! I'm demanding.

Absolutely wonderful. Can't wait to see how this works going forward.

Amazing if Naito and Ibushi formally team for awhile. The tag division is stale but I am willing to accept that being stale instead of the top of the card being stale...which if they are both pre-occupied it probably will be.

Still looking like a 7 match card. They just took Fish and Sho off the show it seems.

The 1/30 card has changed with Kyle O'Reilly vs Komatsu and Alex Shelley vs Jay White. The final night hasn't been getting a lot of love but I think that will likely be show of the tour and Golden Stardust vs Yano/Sakuraba could be the best match of the whole tour. Can't wait to see how they turn out.
