TORITO!!!! Hopefully I get my dream Demus 3:16 vs Torito match.

Please leave comments as to why, not just votes.

Soon. I've been wiped out from GWE, then got sick, then got insanely busy at work. Hopefully next week.

I think we've hit enough older stuff that now if you want to nominate or vote please leave some explanation.

It's so strange seeing Eric Young and Tye Dillinger on NXT. Those two, in like 2004, I would see once a month in St. Catharines, Ontario put on epic matches with Tyson Dux, Cody Deaner, Derek Wylde and Booby Roode. It's amazing how many of them had a really good career.

Actually that would be a great way to nominate a match, by giving a link to the thread they created for it with the comments in there. Do you mean something like this? Nominations: Mayu Iwatani vs. Evie (Stardom 2/21) Meiko Satomura vs. Syuri (Sendai Girls 3/11) Thunder Rock vs. Matsumoto & Kagetsu (Stardom 4/2) Meiko Satomura vs. Aja Kong (Sendai Girls 4/8) That's perfect!

Luchablog on twitter: Every match airing which has aired after Matanza/Mil Muertes was taped in 2016.

Those matches aren't 2016 though. We can discuss them anywhere, but a match taped in 2015 can not be a match of the year for 2016.

Actually that would be a great way to nominate a match, by giving a link to the thread they created for it with the comments in there.

Any match taking place in May and beyound should need comments for nominations and voting I would think.

Really at this point Roman should probably keep the title with no end date, unless the business falls apart.

I kind of adore this. It's not like the WWE where the wrestlers are the only ones who don't know things are being filmed backstage and the announcers and audience do. It's like taking that stupid troupe and making it awesome.

It's a show about a Wrestling show. They don't know it's a show, so they aren't aware of the vignettes.

I don't think I buy that. This is a simulated fight. I don't think anybody is pushing for intergender fights in UFC. This is a pretend fight that I believe is art. Why can't women fight men the same way Nancy and Frank Sinatra sing a duet? Really depends on the presentation. No issues with it in Lucha Underground. A lot of others times I see it it's exploitative and tries to appeal on men on women violence.

I liked the start of Lucha Underground but fell off for a while during season 1. Once I got back into it for the last 1/3 of season 1 it was some of the best wrestling tv ever. This season has ruled as well. Keep that in mind, that there is a rough patch.

No it's not. That's the basis and premise and sadly that's not even met. Yes Trump would say that and then disprove he actually believes it by mocking a female reporter. He clearly treats women different than men.

LA Park, La Parka, & EL Hijo del LA Park vs Rush, Pierroth, & Toscano (Lucha Elite, 4/27/2016) The first fall was a wild brawl which was so much fun. LA Park hit an insane tope to take out rush leading to the first finish. The first fall was just a joy. The second fall had the Parks working as Los Brazos. Holy shit it was great funny, but still a wrestling match stuff. Fun but short second fall. The second fall starts with Rush taking a mini or a child out of the crowd and tossing him into ringside. Toscano throws him around for good measure. What the heck was that??? We get more wild ringside brawling until it settles down for a hot crowd. Rush and LA Park work really well together and I want to see more from those two. Just one singles match would rule the world. El Hijo del LA Park is coming along as a flying youngster. I LOVED the finish and it set up future matches. Fuck I loved this whole thing! If I go **** am I nuts? I also watched the CMLL Arena Mexico show from the weekend. Nothing stands out as great matches, but everything was a lot of fun. I can watch Hechicero & Blue Panther wrestle forever and I WANT to see as much of The Reaper as possible!

I love Progress. For a variety of reasons. 1) The booking and storylines. Nothing is too complicated or silly. The wins and loses matter. They build up big matches over time. Love it. 2) The crowd. They are like ECW with their passion, but they are British so it's like watching a soccer game sometimes. It's not at an annoying level like most other companies though. It's passion for the wrestlers and product. 3) Cheap streaming service with all their stuff I can watch on the roku. Talk about Progress, Rev Pro, WXW or whatever here.

I don't know how anyone can say you were a wrestling fan before being a feminist. As a kid you thought women should be treated less then men, then you watched wrestling, then at some point you thought all genders should be treated equal? That's just bullshit.

My wife has no issues with NXT and loves Bayley. It's easy if you present women the way NXT does.

Complete bullshit, becase 99% of people on this forum are feminists.

I don't think I buy that. This is a simulated fight. I don't think anybody is pushing for intergender fights in UFC.

I would say Highspots as most of the others are almost all exclusively tied to one promotion. I decided to subscribe to Progress, watched a load of there previews video and decided to take the plunge on them. Anyone know the best place to start? I started just at the beginning of 2016, it's not a bad place with the surge of Scurll building to his title match. When I signed up Pete said to start with the tournament from the previous summer, but I didn't have the time. That might be a good place.

I can't imagine that era Savage vs Undertaker being any great shakes.
