The hype video for the match is extraordinary.
-
Bryan strongly defended this on his show with Lance Storm stating that a scam is were you someone offers you something with no intention of giving it to you. Also noting that experience/exposure wise this is no better or worse than a FCW tryout not understanding that those arent run by a fly by night carny.

Interesting notes/tidbits/BS found in the PWT Wrestling Observer scans

There is a short bio in Drawing Heat the Hard Way that is worth a read in the bookshop for. -
A podcast with Jamie Dundee http://whosslammingwho.podomatic.com/entry...T06_20_43-08_00 Description sounds fun.

Cheers Loss. I sometimes a bit too gun shy about starting threads on here.

Compare that to Final Battle even with the storyline driven top three matches. Keller just put this up for free due to the Facebook war that Gabe started: http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/PWTorch...cle_46623.shtml

Personally I don't know anyone who subscribes to PWTorch and doesn't listen to Bruce Mitchell's audio show but if there is they should have listen of part 1 this week. Nothing ground breaking but he takes on DGUSA in his own analytical style tackling why DGUSA isn't growing by looking at marketing shows almost strictly on star ratings and selling a different version of the same thing match/moves wise also looking the star rating system of analysis in general. Essentially is this really a compelling case from the WO Daily Update for ordering a show : Compare that to Final Battle even with the storyline driven top three matches.

That seems to be the major scandal alright as Santino & Koslov's title win is on the set despite happening after.

Thanks indirectly answering my question to bix, Keith

don't see that as a diss to anyone here at all. In fact it’s followed up by a discussion of dragons gate/ Angle v HBK type matches that almost sounds likes it was transcribed from something Schneider wrote 4 years ago. The actual shot he took is based on this article: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...1010202440.html There are two college profs quoted in the article; one is a professor specializing in economics of underground drug traffic who also happens to be a lucha fan. The second is Heather Levi who is anthropology prof at Temple who was one of writers of "World of Lucha" (which I haven't read) and wrote academic articles on Exoticos as far back as 97 (some of which I have read). She isn't a college lecturer commenting on some cultural phenomenon the she isn't familiar with. She has done ethnographic work with luchadors and fans, and I think she may have trained. She's been writing about lucha for as long as Alvarez has been writing his sheet. I thought the article needed an actual lecturer on narco-culture (someone like Alma Guillemoprieto) who would point out that the narco culture is so pervasive that you don't need a character to be an actual "drug dealer" to be a character that celebrates narco culture. I assume Bryan is taking a shot at Levi’s “over analysis” . Not sure how you could call that an over analysis as essentially her explanation is “people go to lucha shows to boo the corrupt refs, cheer the good guys, and yell slurs at the assholes…which is awesome and cathartic cause you can’t do that in actual day to day life”. I know but it was funny listening to Seguanda Caida and B&V back to back and to hear that.

Bryan disses some people on here in a comment that probably wasnt meant as a diss in the first few minutes of the show: http://media001.f4wonline.com/free/010511bvshow.mp3 In reference to college lecturers over analysing lucha

It was more to the shoulder wasnt it?
-
Dont view is as a shock or anything the Bryan/Miz/Morrison match at Hell in the Cell 2010 was pretty great considering the stipulation.
-
Mykill posted an isnt Masters awesome thread, people have referenced there Masters love in thread before by the way. Cue DVDR and Henry>Angle references. As someone who has ploughed up that hill last year what in particular do you think makes people oppose the mere notion that Masters is a good worker?
-
Certainly had his wilderness years alright
-
There is disbelief on F4W over the fact that Chris Masters is a good worker, I dont think we are out of 2010 yet. Ha ha.
-
Wasnt he out of shape (cardio wise) and horrible in ring when he first debut? I remember the Marty match as horrible and boring.
-
I have always wondered this. Going by peoples public ballots it is an apples and oranges debate between Cena (appearing on TV 54 weeks and 14 PPVs approx. per year) vs Brock (appearing on 2-3 PPVs per year).

I love you Dylan sometimes.
