Grimmas

Steve now has the curse of picking the coolest intro song ever that people are going to constantly ask about it, he posted it in the thread for the last episode Thanks for posting the song. I wouldn't have guessed it being from Taiwan. Searching for lyrics "super show" in google was a really smart decision.

WM7 tag opener. WM6 vs Tito is two in that time frame. They're talking about Snuka, not Barbarian. Silly assumptions in a Barbie thread. Carry on.

Here is a review I did last week, that I was pretty proud of. Tried to avoid play by play and just explain why this match is good. https://prowrestlingsuperblog.wordpress.com/2016/01/28/aj-styles-vs-cm-punk-iwa-ms-8th-anniversary-show-10232004/ AJ Styles vs CM Punk (IWA-MS 8th Anniversary Show, 10/23/2004) Let’s get this out of the way first, this match is really great. It’s a great mix of old school and new school to create a modern classic. The Old School This match starts with a collar and elbow lock up and moves into matwork. The first 1/3 of the match is spent with Punk attacking AJ’s arm with submissions. AJ gets some counters and it’s a well laid out slow build to set up the rest of the match. There is a lot of neat old school things while working the arm, like AJ whipping Punk into the corner while Punk holds on and viciously drags AJ to the mat. Later on CM Punk misses a move and his neck is hurt. This means that each wrestler has a focus for their offence and an easy way to get counters. Through out the match both men go back to the other’s injury to survive the contest. By the way, AJ Styles has an amazing dropkick. It’s Jim Brunzell level. The New School How does Punk injure his neck? A missed tope. Of course a lot of the offense is not old school. Instead of lariats by AJ, we get discuss lariats. There is a plancha, a tope, plus all of CM Punk and AJ Style’s trademark offense. There is no true heel or face in this match either and the crowd is split. A Modern Classic The first comeback by AJ is such a great sequence after numerous awesome hope spots. It starts with AJ being able to toss Punk to the floor. He goes for a plancha, but Punk moves. Punk goes for a tope, where he moves which injures his neck. One of my favourite moments of the match is AJ going for his Asai Moonsault into a Reverse DDT that is countered by Punk grabbing the injured arm. Punk then tries a suplex, but he can’t do it with his injured neck. We move on for some great nearfalls, before AJ is able to hit that Asai Moonsault into a Reverse DDT, but it was on the floor. That looked amazing. It lead to a very dramatic 19 count where Punk got into the ring at the last second. The finishing sequence is really hot. AJ goes for the Styles Clash, but Punk gets into the corner. Since that didn’t work, AJ goes for a superplex. Punk tries to counter with a Pepsi Plunge, but the injured neck allows AJ to fight out. A Tornado DDT is thrown off and AJ hits two discus lariats for a huge nearfall. A Shining Wizard by Punk gets two, then Punk’s Anaconda Vice gets a dramatic tap out submission. AJ’s arm was too injured to survive. Rating: **** 1/2

Thanks for making the threads Dylan.

I started my blog and at first I was doing play by play, but I don't think that is what people want. I know just try to explain why something is good or bad. I know when I read reviews I skip the play by play parts and just read the analysis.

My review of the mini opener of TripleMania V-B on Monday Minis. https://prowrestlingsuperblog.wordpress.com/2016/02/01/pentagoncito-mini-mankind-mini-goldust-vs-octagoncito-chivito-rayada-mini-cibernetico-aaa-61597/

I thought the story was that they were pissed when Austin & Rock left, so they never want to be in a position where a wrestler is bigger than the WWE ever again.

Why?

Details on how to vote will come out in March

Yep. These are the nominees, it is not an open vote. I feel we did get quite a good cross section.

Thanks. I don't watch that promotion, so I wonder what Kris, Pete and Tim's thoughts on them?

It’s time for the second annual Pro-Wrestling Super Show Awards. The nominations were picked by Kris Zellner, Pete Schirmacher, Tim Livingston, and Steven Graham on this episode.

Real life dragons too.

That's exactly my point as in it's just a fact of life so why would someone take issue with it being pushed as fact in a wrestling context? No idea, that's silly. If you accept an Irish whip than you have to accept a triangle choke.

Please expand upon that? Of course MMA moves are effective in real life, they work in real fights.

Yes. It's called Road to WrestleMania and is airing live on the Network like those two previous ones. First Toronto special event in a decade. Smaller arena too, so crowd should be insane. Matt there is a rumour it's Brock vs Harper????? ?Holy shit!

She caught him by surprise with MMA moves and flying stuff. He was a monster who was a little over confident and her only offense was surprise attacks. I generally hate inter-gender too, but this worked well and the crowd was great for it.

Any reaction show coming for the "Road to WrestleMania" the network special from Toronto?

I review CM Punk vs AJ Styles from IWA-MS as requested by Chad for this week's Fan Favourites. https://prowrestlingsuperblog.wordpress.com/2016/01/28/aj-styles-vs-cm-punk-iwa-ms-8th-anniversary-show-10232004/ If you want me to review your match request for a future Fan Favourites, post your request below.

This was so great. Great wrestling, great skits with character development. The evil champion sitting above the ring in a throne. I can't wait to watch next week. Haven't felt this way in years about wrestling.

Every match on night 1 had a reverse frankensteiner.

NXT is filled with guys who could take that role. Sheamus is perfect for it though

I wonder if anybody can watch a PWG in one sitting? Even the PWG fans?
