If Becky loses and then turns on Charlotte I am going to shoot the Road Dogg in the face.

I think it is PROFOUNDLY UNFAIR that they tease me with Sasha and Bayley and pull back, allowing me to say once and for all "Fuck Raw, I never need to watch this shitshow ever again," only for them to book NATALYA VS ALICIA FOX and drag me back into my cell. Rude.

This week's Divas Deep Dive is about the time Melina was the baddest motherfucker on the planet earth. Melina already liked it so you have no excuse not to like it too. http://placetobenation.com/staceys-divas-deep-dive-bret-harts-favorite-wrestler/

The series continues as I look at my first individual wrestler, Molly Holly, and wonder if carrying enough dorks to perfectly fine matches qualifies someone for sainthood. I'm saying yes. http://placetobenation.com/staceys-divas-deep-dive-saint-molly-of-minnesota/

Becky is the best babyface on the entire roster. Push her to the MOON. -

Anyone want to take a stab at the over/under of how many times I'll be watching that Sasha / Bayley segment. -

Is this available somewhere? I'd love to read that. And thanks guys. I'm having so much fun doing it so I hope y'all have fun reading it.

The podcast won't be too far behind.

I've been threatening to do this for a while now. I'm sure Matt D will be relieved. I'm starting a new regular column on PTBN talking all things Divas. Best matches, best wrestlers, all the good work and all the fun stuff. If you've ever wondered why I bang on about the Divas all the time, and what good work I could possibly be talking about, well this should hold the answers. Check it out! http://placetobenation.com/staceys-divas-deep-dive-an-introduction/

A soccer player I know had both shoulders done recently, they did hers one at a time so she wasn't completely helpless. Sounds like it sucks though regardless.

Who Booked This? The Podcast Thread

https://soundcloud.com/prowrestlingonly/wbt10 You can now follow us on https://twitter.com/whobookedthepod Here is the episode on TNA's Knockouts Lockbox Challenge, hope you all enjoy. I've been meaning to say, thank you guys for giving me this birthday present. It was everything I imagined it would be. This Impact episode was one of the few I actually watched on TV as it happened, with my mother in the room, so you can imagine how embarrassing this was as I was trying to sell her on us watching TNA every week (I was very into hate watching and reviewing TNA at that point, it would have made it much more convenient). This whole thing was like the perfect combination of WWE-style misogyny, WCW-style wacky nonsensical stips and TNA-style utter stupidity. "The rules are simple" was an all-time amazing line and became a running joke in my house for a good long while. -
Yes, indigenous women are allowed to drive, we are nowhere near like Saudi mate. We just passed gay marriage as well. Just think of us as America but less people and less guns. And if your wondering if the water goes down the toilet in the opposite direction the answer is yes. I said when this was first announced that we should 100% have Saudi-style Propaganda videos about our government atrocities. "Sure we put gay people through the postal vote and oversee a hideous torture regime for refugees and can't work out high speed Internet, but we're making great strides! Getting a WWE PPV is another step on the March of progress!"

Pretty sure that would be the one. -
Who Booked This? The Podcast Thread
Jimmy Redman replied to Grimmas's topic in Publications and Podcasts
I totally forgot that TNA did so many box gimmicks, my bad. My request is for the Knockouts Lockbox Challenge which was for the women's title (amongst other things), that aired on Impact 5th April 2010. I hate to pile on but it was like a show long angle where they did the match, then the reveals, then the consequences kind of thing. They also did Feast or Fired which was where there were multiple briefcases to get and like, one or more was for a title shot and one got you fired, which is what y'all were also thinking of. -
I think about this all the time. It's the first thing I notice about the matches when I go from modern wrestling to 80s wrestling and back again. It is glaring. On the flipside it does make me take note and appreciate when a modern wrestler does know how to be a heel or a face in the ring and work to their character (like Trish Stratus, for my favourite example).

Who Booked This? The Podcast Thread
Jimmy Redman replied to Grimmas's topic in Publications and Podcasts
Just did Cena vs Ace (loved the show, laughed all through it) and my dudes I have been BALLS DEEP in 2012 lately so let's go. I was reviewing the shows in 2012 so I found my write up from the time and it turns out I had an alternate theory about the finish - that Ace wasn't in cahoots with Show at all. Show was already fired, he came out to genuinely bring Ace back to the ring to get beat by Cena for Show to get some measure of revenge on Ace (you may wonder why he was in the building at all in that case but whatever), and when Ace was begging with Show in the ring he promised him on the spot to give his job back if he helped him instead, and Show was so desperate for his job that he took the bait and made a snap decision to go heel right there. No swerve. But I have zero desire to watch the match again now to see how this theory holds up. I do remember the match itself being a piece of shit and doing the ten second count thing meant that Ace lasted longer in the STF than 90% of the roster at the time which was ridiculous and pissed me off. No Way Out wasn't the worst show really. Santino/Ricardo sucked, but they did have fun comedy matches on TV around the same time. This one just didn't land. Christian/Cody and the tag match and Punk/Bryan/Kane were all pretty good, I liked the cage match by the end (it blew off all the Ace/Show stuff really well), and Sheamus vs Dolph is FANTASTIC. It's probably on average a better show than OTL was. That Divas battle royal you mentioned from the list was not good, particularly early but it had a good finish at least. It wasn't the worst Divas battle royal to take place on Raw in 2012, to put it that way. -
He's still an active wrestler, he was in the Andre Battle Royal and the MMC. Works Raw occasionally.

That works in reverse too, where Miz cuts a promo saying like "I am going to kick you in the dick" and as he makes his entrance later on Cole says "Earlier tonight The Miz said, and I quote: 'I am going to kick you in the dick.', those are the words of The Miz there earlier tonight." Repetition ad nauseam. Literally.

Found a great shitty one today. Kaitlyn injured her ankle in storyline so they had her come out with strapping tape on it ON TOP OF HER BOOT. Because, you know, we're too stupid to remember that someone is injured unless it's visibly covered in tape. So fucking dumb.

Biggest Pops and Best Crowd Connection you have seen in person
Jimmy Redman replied to gordi's topic in Pro Wrestling
I accidentally watched Cena vs Punk MITB recently and man, that crowd is absolutely spitting bonkers for him.
