  1. Here is video of the entire match. I put the spoiler tab for people that don't want to watch. Also here is his last interview right before he went to the ring. My spanish is rough so I won't even try translate what he says out of respect.
  2. This is so shocking to me cause I started watching recent stuff of his on the AAA YouTube channel ever since the Rey signing. When Konnan turned him over in the video, I saw some blood coming out of one of his eyes. Hopefully more information will come out cause the video above still doesn't show what really happened. RIP to him also prayers to his family and friends.
  3. I've been a fan for a while. I like the post PPV Shows as well.
  4. I legit thought that Stevie Ray and Booker T were not brothers either until I saw the 24 show on Booker T. I almost wished they put out a DVD set of him. Doesn't have to be the monster 3 DVD set but filling up 2 DVDs of his Global, WCW and WWE stuff wouldn't be hard task.
  5. It's funny cause L&HH goes head to head against Raw and have beaten them before ratings wise. There were rumors that Thea Trinidad (former Rosita from TNA) would be on the show but I haven't seen pop up this season.
  6. I really enjoyed the show on my drive to work this morning. I'm a fan a the reaction shows and I pretty much agreed with everything you guys said on the show. You guys made a great point about how ROH books their black wrestlers compared to WWE and TNA.
  7. He was flying out of Detroit and the bad weather has him stuck there. Also, last PPV they had ACH come out with a Bullet Club shirt with the Young Bucks so it's not in the realm of possibility of throwing a random person with Anderson. Honestly, I would've took Anderson out of the match and had him on commentary and do an angle after the match.
  8. Is Sinclair's budget that tight that they couldn't pay another guy to fill in for Doc Gallows?
  9. I could see Moose getting a TV title run this year.
  10. I don't have a problem with the statistics of what makes up the roster of WWE because I've kind of accepted that's going to be the numbers. However, the representation of non whites as top guys or even upper midcard guys might be the glaring problem in the WWE. Just thinking off the top of my head, they had Rey, Chavo, Shelton, Lashley, MVP, Booker T and Mark Henry on the same roster in the midcard or higher less than ten years ago. I don't see that diversity now in WWE with the talent they have now.
  11. I just rewinded the live steam to watch it and all I was thinking was "Are they trying to piss off NBC Universal?" I know this is a big story and what Heyman said was true but WWE's American programming belongs to NBC Universal and I don't think this will go well if the heads will catch wind of this.
  12. I wonder if that means someone clued them in to who Jon Jones is. They had to know him. Jon Jones was at a Raw backstage and I believe he did the Ice Bucket Challenge with Big Show and Mark Henry. On Jones's Instagram there's pics of him and Triple H doing crotch chops. Edit: He was backstage at Summerslam.
  13. AJ airs 1 show per month on GAORA,and 1 show per month on Samurai TV. Niconico airs a AJ show once every couple months. Thanks Dan. Anyone do write-ups on the matches / shows or in-depth coverage in English? The only site I can think of is the Keeping the Spirit Alive Tumblr and that's mostly results. http://keepingthespiritalive.tumblr.com/ Stu Max just closed up all of his sites including his New Japan one so the information side is drying up since the footage is more available.
  14. A$AP Yams from the A$AP Mob just passed away and looking through his Twitter, apparently he was a wrestling fan. https://twitter.com/ASAPYams/status/531594294357135360 Don't know if a lot of people knew who he was but I think rap fans will know. Jon Caramamica of the NY Times wrote an article about him yesterday. http://nyti.ms/1xIDjNP
  15. I don't know what Dave could really have that no one else doesn't WWF wise. The only way would be if someone from inside was hooking him up with stuff that was taped but not aired, which doesn't seem like it would be much. I could see him having some stuff from other territories or Japan that the recorders missed. Probably doesn't matter though as I'd think most of his stuff is ruined anyway from sitting in his shed, OUTSIDE, for 30 years. I remember him talking about seeing the Bret v Tom Magee match on tape at some stage. Fairly sure he's in a minority there... What was signifficant about this match? Was this Bret's first ever WWF debut? Dave said that Tom Magee looked great in this match and WWF couldn't wait to push him cause of his body. But they realized that he wasn't good and that Bret made him look good.
  16. Akiyama was definitely the booker around 2005 time but I don't know his exact start. Edit: Didnt read that Choshu was already up there.
  17. This match was praised when it happened, and it has continued unabated since. It's also the goto defense for a Cena Can Wrestle discussion. I'm not trying to argue taste, or single out this poster, but this match has never been under rated. Or under the radar. Sorry, I just see it often mentioned over theyears when this match comes up.. always leaves me a little puzzled. I feel like this has been buried a little bit when people talk about great Cena matches over the years. And I'm not talking about PWO posters, I'm talking about in terms of the Internet fans collectively. It wasn't on the top 100 matches WWE.com had and I thought they did a good job considering the circumstances of their work environment.
  18. I will say also, Cena vs Umaga might the most underrated great WWE Title match in WWE history.
  19. Wow, I hate that Angle-Benoit match. When I did the top 25 Rumble matches in history last year it didn't even make the list. After the 10th minute of German Suplex & sharpshooter reversals I seriously questioned whether I hate or love wrestling. I think we've had this convo before, but it's one of my all time favorite matches. The way they brought a dead crowd back to life, and the way they worked the reversals and the big spots, pretty much everything I love about pro wrestling. I am going to have to agree with Bill on this. I recently watched the Benoit/Angle match and it holds up to me. The reversals and the balls to wall action is something that WWE hasn't had in a while for their WWE championship matches (and for good reason cause of the outcomes of each guy). However, Austin vs Hart at WM13 is the best WWE match in the terms of what the bookers wanted and the fans wanted. The Survivor Series match is an awesome match bell to bell but pulling off the double turn and telling the story between the two guys hating each other to the point that they become the person they despise was a great credit to WWE and those two guys. Even when Ken Shamrock slamming Hart afteR the match was awesome and put the crowd in a frenzy.
  20. I found this very interesting because when the UFC made Rashad Evans vs Jon Jones in Atlanta , I thought they were going for a black audience. I even thought they were going for a black audience when Rashad fought Chuck at their first ever show in Atlanta. I am a black male myself that likes MMA and know lots a black people who watch it casually too. It's just what you said though, they really don't market it to the black audience because they are worried about the tickets. I've been to one MMA card live and that was when Fedor lost is in Strikeforce. I knew I would never see Fedor fight in person ever and I took the opportunity. And that had a mixed crowd compared to one of my friends who went to the UFC Show in Newark (which he told me it was an unorganized mess in terms of security) who said it looked like a Devils game. Now with the race part about this, Bix nailed it in terms of those dynamics with fights. When I used to subscribe to the Observer, Dave compared the trash talk of Rashad and Rampage to Ali vs Joe Frazier, which made me cringe. Ali vs Fraizer had so much of a racial dynamic than any other "classic white guy vs classic black guy" fight. When Dave said that, I was afraid that people were watching Rampage vs Rashad for that factor vs the hated rivals factor. I watched the Jones vs Cormier PPV cause of the hated rivals factor but the racial factor did creep into my mind when seeing how other people were reacting.
  21. As most of the people have said in this thread, Dragon Gate is definitely the number 2 promotion in Japan. The frenetic pace those guys go through attracts a lot of casual fans. Rich Swann in his Colt Cabana interview said that the DG shows consists mostly of women and gay men. I would assume that kids come to the show too.
  22. I voted this also with the phone option. The Roku stick is the only reason I've kept the Network for this long. Roku has given me the best results since I've watched it through Xbox 360, laptop, iPad and iPhone. I usually watch the PPVs, some of documentary specials and NXT through the Roku on my TV and watch Main Event and Superstars on my iPhone. I think if they had a instructional video on their YouTube channel showing how to hook up any of the streaming devices to their TV, consumers might by the Network more. It's very easy to use.
  23. Issue fixed.Thank you. Downloaded it and I'm ready to listen to it for my way home from work.
