Grimmas

And thank you for saying that, Parv. Maybe not people will get a grip and realize that New Japan doesn't have "one style", and saying that they don't like "the New Japan style" is a ludicrous and uninformed argument because there is no specific style. The second half of modern New Japan cards are littered with different styles. NJPW sounds like lucha libre there.

I'm curious about bringing Stan Hansen into Mexico.. however that only works for me if I can get him to lose a hair match (get shaved bald) later in the year. I don't know if that is realistic, so I will leave that open to everyone else to decide.

I'm saving my comments for your TV write-up. It will give more details.. remember you can only see the great Brazos-Villanos match if you were there live.

You didn't give the main six stars????

Could Stan Hansen come to Mexico for three Fridays? This is only cool if in May Stan agrees to lose his hair.

I wonder what happens when Kevin Dunn is gone.

I want to say Chris Jericho cut the first promo in that manner. "Because at unforgiven ... it's going to be ... hell in a cell!" It literally doesn't matter what the words are or who says them, the cookie cutterness is all we get from it. "Because at No Way Out ... it's going to be ... your last ride!" They do promos for sound bites in the video packages.

Getting really excited for Parv to drop 6 stars on Omega-Okada.

When wrestling twitter is filled with Dylan and Kris Zellner, I don't see how these statements make sense.

I don't like Seth Rollins or Omega, but how is Omega more of a WWE guy they want then Rollins? Very bizarre statement.

Comments on my first show? How is the format? TV will give details on the more storyline matches.

***** started in 1989 with Flair/Steamboat. ****** started in 2017 with Omega/Okada. 7 stars won't be until the 2045, so we can relax about that one.

I don't know how anyone could bash Omega-Okada, like Flair-Steamboat, this match added a whole new star to our star rating system.

Man... what is a 5 1/2 star match? Now I have to rerate my entire database?

Anthem just announced they are the official owners now and Dixie Carter has stepped down. Good times ahead?

Thank you! Some shit went down. You will find out the details on television. So far, scheduled to air is the title change and the main event trios match.

This!

What a beautiful first show. Very excited going forward, too bad Dos Caras didn't make Inoki tap though.

First CMLL show posted. Just results. Parts of that show will be recapped in more detail on the television in two days.

Without looking it up what were the best matches of 2014 or 2015? Can you rattle them off like we could for 89 or 92 or whatever? No, but in 2014-15 I watched thousands of matches, while in 89 and 92 there was few matches that were meant to be on that level. If 89/92 had monthly ppvs, and I had access to footage from every promotion all over the world at my fingertips, I would have trouble remembering too.

Come on the great matches of 2016 will match up nicely with the great matches of the 80s.

I don't know about this. I think there are moments people will/do talk about. Pipe Bomb promo. Cena-Lesnar. Rollins cash in at mania, etc... I think our interaction with younger fans is lower, so it's difficult to see.

I don't disagree at all, though I think the transition from the 70's to the 80's and the 90's to the 2000's was a lot smoother. Hate to see what it's gonna be like in the 2020's though. The way it is going tells me it is going to have even more big spots, big moves and more video game style wrestling. Smoother, or just less people had a platform?

I' m sure 70s fans felt the same way about 80s fans. 80s fans felt the same way about 90s fans, etc...
