PTP's did a video for WWE.com with again no overt mention of coming out besides a reference to Darren being a national hero in jest along with this air being lifted off their chests vibe. Darren and Titus just being platonic friends is heartwarming given what promotions have done in the past.

Apparently Stephanie had to apologise to the video game people. It has gotten to the level he is disrespecting the McMahons and Hunter in particular.
-
Same thoughts. Colt has had bigger self publicists and egos on the past. Not the worst but to me Mark Rollerball Rocco's "The Brits invented everything" act was far more grating.

That picture is about 2 years old.

Big Show did an interview yesterday and he's lost 42 pounds since May 29. The Observer earlier this week reported he had some kind of hip surgery. Hopefully this spurs a career revival.

Darren Young comes out as gay in TMZ airport interview
rovert replied to Bix's topic in Pro Wrestling
Yuck this type of retrograde thinking is what drives Gay people to suicide. I've known more than a few people for whatever reasons desperately wanted to be not gay whether it be religion, parents, rural isolation or social inclusion reasons. Never met anyone who thought it was remotely a choice. Not to be vulgar but were you erect during these convos with gay men? Are you admitting to being bisexual and only acting on your sexual desire with women. I am lost? -
Dave Meltzer's edition of Cribs/Hoarders:

Not sure if totally serious but it seems that Darren Young has come out as gay: http://www.tmz.com/2013/08/15/darren-young...-superstar-gay/

Have the mental image of Demott getting trainees who don't know who Doug is to do 1,000 squats. As well as Bill giving Doug a couple of hundred out of the slush fund to show Mojo Rawley how to deliver a good working punch.

that's more of an older generation thing and in the rare times it's enforced now limited to mostly the younger/rookie girls. Course, also keep in mind a lot of girls still start out while they're in their mid to late teens Must admit to not being a huge Joshi fan but this news story stuck with me from 6 months ago. I posted it on the Observer board when it happened: Japan has a weird attitude to sex hold the front page I know.

Kharma say a lot are gay for stay - essentially like a women's prison due not being allowed to consort with boys.

This went on the back burner due to more time sensitive podcasts and the G1. But this was a fun time. I've always circled statistics with my business, economics and marketing background. Used software packages like SPSS in work and my studies. Also a sucker for "economics made fun" books. Mookie is obviously a great guy and I am glad to have backed the Kickstarter. Mookie - should really do the podcast circuit when the book is ready to go. Very strong accounting for yourself here.

Not a shoot but the Kickstarter Jim Crockett documentary is highly recommended. On par with Memphis Heat if not better. A huge upgrade from the NWA Title documentary the same maker did which I felt was a cure for insomnia. https://www.highspots.com/p/crockett-doc.html The most interesting thing to me was the varying accounts of the JCP's Accountant ranging from an out of their depth club treasurer type doing the accounts of an entity that had mushroomed quickly to into a nation enterprise to being simply outright corrupt.

Thought the same. However it hasn't earned her friends. Rhaka Khan replied and went biblical while Reby Sky essentially called her a hard up drug addict.

Is TNA the worst wrestling promotion in history?
rovert replied to Loss's topic in Megathread archive
Don't read what I am quoting it is a waste of your time. Dixie is doing seemingly doing worked Q&As: @Carstenrechnage for example just has one Tweet and has all the hallmarks of a dummy account. -
Not sure how well known this is but Highspots acquired the rights Southwest Championship Wrestling footage: http://www.highspots.com/p/marquee-1.html http://www.highspots.com/p/marquee-2.html http://www.highspots.com/p/marquee-3.html

Some speculated that this was just a one off to gauge interest or pilot but Brian Elliot from Fighting Spirit Magazine says that a press release that will be released tomorrow says that this will be a longer set of shows.

My 2nd favourite show of the year. G1 Day 4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyGwpDkxS-4 Everyone needs to seen Tomohiro Ishii vs. Katsuyori Shibata at the 1:06:40 mark some are calling it ***** some people are saying it isn't even a Pro Wrestling match.

For fans of NWA nostalgia Highspots have a number of iPPVs up from this weekend's fanfest: http://highspots.tv/category/ippv/ Also look at Jim Cornette's weight loss from 250lbs in November to 195lbs: Cornette's Q&A begins with rants on gun control, God and Palin/Obama in North Carolina to silence and mild booing.

Voices of Wrestling - New Japan G1 Recaps
rovert replied to W2BTD's topic in Publications and Podcasts
New Japan is simply slaying. Ishii having two upper tier MOTYCs in one night is amazing. -
For your East Coast Indy with a few indy names 300 seems to be the point where people on Twitter or on blogs like PWPonderings start praising the promotion I find.
