That's pretty huge. With the words "legendary", "GOAT" thrown around like nothing, Liger retiring will remind everyone what a true legend and legit greatest of all time is all about. So, I guess that was part of the plan of having two Dome shows, the Liger retirement being enough to pack one of the two I suppose.

Considering what we know of his friends (Casio Kid anyone ?) and sense of humour (Casio Kid anyone ?), this sounds like complete hell.

After spending the first two months of the year watching everything I could and had interest in, I finally got to the point of being burned out and where catcthing up felt like "work". So there. iMPACT remains my favorite promotion week-to-week CMLL at Arena Mexico on Wednesday night is always super easy and fun to watch NJPW, the big shows and cards with big matches only AAA, from time to time, the Total Giras shows tend to get samey, not in a good way. Depending on the card MLW, I'm getting kinda bored with, the last streak of shows have not held my interest very much ROH couldn't hold my interest at all WWE, only some matches on the PPV's. Haven't been bothered with Takeovers At this point, waiting for AEW

So, since Becky vs Ronda are doing the shooty-shooty stuff on Twitter, Trip has to do the shooty-shooty stuff on TV, because what the hell. How creatively bankrupt is this company ?

You're awfully generous. To me it killed the match, which had been quite good until the "let's escape" point. They stayed forever outside that cage like complete fools, especially when at one point Lawlor's leg was trapped into the cage. Why didn't Low-ki just jumped at this point ? And it went on and on and on forever, only to do that stupid "both guys almost fall at the same time" spot, which was cute the first time it was done in the 80's (70's maybe), but there it was completely idiotic considering either one could have simply dropped to the floor at any time for seemingly ever (to the point the crowd began to boo just before they went home). I have no time for this kinda cutesy nonsense, it reeks of bad 80's cosplaying. The Lucha Bros match vs Laredo Kid & Taurus was good but kinda sloppy, and the AAA guys looked worse than they usually do in their own promotion. Kinda funny that the first guy Corny talks about when he's back at doing color was Taurus, who's basically the same gimmick as Mantaur. Corny sounded kinda lost in that match too and was much more at ease during the cage match. I dunno, I still enjoy MLW, but there's too much cutsey shit like the cage match finish and underwhelming performances from guys who look better elsewhere to really get excited about anything they do. I miss the whole Konnan vs Salina stuff, it gave the promotion some dynamic in term of promo and story. The whole Contra stuff, well, they look like some indie guys thrown together (damn, without the stache, he looks so odd and... generic)... Maybe I'm getting blase with all the wrestling available, but I ended up being disappointed with this episode too.

For whatever reason (probably the fact I don't give a flying fuck about the HOF), I thought Molly was in already. They should induct her and Lex Luger the same year, if only to try make us forget about that awful piece they did back then... No japanese woman not named Asuka is going in. Bull worked like two matches in the company. Victoria. Well, I guess she's going in eventually. Watching her in TNA in the late 00's exposes her so badly as a worker though, I'm sure she looked like "das worker" in the WWE in the mid 00's, but man, she was not very good at all. You don't say. I loved Marlena/Terri. They should just induct Goldust & Marlena, really, the perfect match. Dawn Marie would be awkward. "Hey, we fired you when you were pregnant, 'member ?" #womensevolution

All the female inductee will pretty much suck until you get to the current generation. Well, they could get Luna in I guess, but I would doubt it. None of the Rougeaus are in, neither is Martel yet. What do they have against quebecers anyway ?

Anything worthwhile on this lastest AAA show ? The english announcing is pay-only on Twitch now. I can't think of one reason why you'd want to pay to listen to the god-awful Vamp announcing ! I do think Villano III Jr. was already using Batista's theme, but I can be wrong.

Wilson's spot in the HOF ceremony will be the exact same she had in the cards back then : filler.

So apparently, Cornette is in.

To say the least. Greatest match I've seen this month, and probably close to MOTYC level to me. That third fall, which basically was the crux of the match, was incredible.

I would guess this actually betrays how much of a Ronda mark he is, because the whole shooty-shooty stuff is always bad, no matter who does it.

Well, in France "Magnum PI" was just called "Magnum", for obvious reasons, so I never made the connection with the name before !

That's pretty much the reason why I would have never seen it actually. Hollywood remakes of French movies are just a no-no. Except for True Lies, which is pretty funny as a remake (especially the ridiculousness of it compared to the original). BTW, was Magnum TA named after Selleck's moustache ?

I have not seen one movie starring Tom Selleck. I couldn't give you one title of a movie with Tom Selleck. To me he's a guy from cheesy 80's US TV shows and the older guy fucking Monica in Friends. That's about it. I recon the stache is iconic though.

Grumpy JR ? *yawn* The biggest coup ever would be Patterson, of course, but that will never happen.

No shit. Not only in the pro-wrestling business, but get some women scriptwriters who can actually write for women characters. It can't be that hard. That company baffles me. They will never ever get out of the bubble.

I said legit movie star. Arnold... well, we're talking about a very specific kind of beast here, along with Sly. They were bodybuilders turned actors, so in that respect they were closer to pro-wrestlers anyway.

She's a "celebrity" wife who has no ties with the business expect her poor-excuse-for-a-human-being dead husband, of whom she tries to erase the hate speech memories with hypocritical charity business PR bullshit. So yeah. Probably a great hiring. And she kept the fucking Warrior last name, how more douchy can you get ?

Reported on WOR, new member of the WWE creative team : Dana Warrior. Have a field day, people.

DDPY update. For the first time, did 130 push-ups during the 100 push-ups challenge session. I killed the game. Well, my game anyway. DO IT people, it works. I totally gonna let my sub from last year roll over in April, especially since it apparently keeps me at the promo rate I got (86$ for a year).

Glad you clarified, because I had no idea what you were talking about, and with the accusations on Ronda's statement about certain things apparently, I was like, picturing stuff... Twitter feuds are lame and pathetic in general. "Oh, he stopped following me !" "Oh, she didn't validate my last picture of myself my putting a comment with hearts, arm flexing and smiling emojis" "#hashtags"

I dunno. I enjoyed the work and the character, but he looked too clean and gimmicky in a post-modern way. Like, Bunkhouse Bunk was a southern brawler gimmick. Mance Warner looks like a pro-wrestler-doing-a-southern-brawler-gimmick gimmick. The cosplay syndrome. He looks like some dude showing up at a convention with a super clean Bunk costume. I must say, watching the match, I actually kinda longed for Henry Godwinn (case in point, I was a Henry Godwinn fan in 1995). Aerostar vs Rey Horus was a good little Thunder lucha match. I dunno, I expected more (maybe from having watched those really excellent Rey Horus match in LU and Aerostar usually kills it in AAA). I must admit, Salina speaking French at the end made me pop. No, not that way. But, yeah... Can't wait for the next tapings set, Schiavone calling indy matches is a big part of MLW's appeal to me. Plus the Philly tapings really didn't deliver very much, the ECW tribute match was the one sole highlight.

"What are they gonna do now ? Improvise ?" Legendary stuff.

There. And yeah, shooty-shooty is good for Vince era-WCW. Which I guess, is not that far removed anymore from this WWE in term of shitty writing.
