Mini Bennett Posted February 27, 2013 Report Posted February 27, 2013 Found a message board post from 5 or 6 years ago and it mentioned Loss telling a story about Ric Flair getting pulled over w/ a 14 year old girl who may have been drunk. Recall this Loss? This was in 1996. Flair was driven home by a girl from a party, apparently not aware she was underage. They were pulled over, and she was underage and drunk herself. How can someone not know a girl is 14 years old. How can a 14 year old possibly look overage?

It makes it sound like you're defending peods when you say it, but if you ever go anywhere teenagers congregate you'll see lots of girls who dress/act a lot older than they are.
JNLister Posted February 27, 2013 Report Posted February 27, 2013 In other news and friend of mine just sent me a text containing a photo that he said reminded him of me: I am strongly considering going to this. If I get to speak to DiBiase I'm going to ask him if he considered himself a technical wrestler. EDIT: Just bought a ticket, no idea who anyone is on the card. I actually grew up in Stevenage and became a wrestling fan there. WWF was huge among kids because the local government ran a subsidy scheme for cable TV, so you got cable (with a whopping three extra channels including Sky) for five years for a total of $175. Thinking back to being a 13 year old fan there, it's absolutely mindblowing to think that 20+ years later Ted DiBiase would turn up there.
JerryvonKramer Posted February 27, 2013 Report Posted February 27, 2013 What's the deal with this promotion then John? My knowledge of the UK indy scene is basically non-existent. They must be doing alright if they are booking Ted. If I like this, I might consider going to some more shows. I saw this great random 5-minute package on Channel 4 a few months ago and forgot to take down the names of the two workers involved. Any ideas on what promotion that was?
JNLister Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 I've never seen Southside, but heard good reports from them. From what I can tell they are one of the relatively rare groups that aren't based around a training school and don't really have their own roster as such. Instead they use a variety of guys from around the country. Do you mean the Channel 4 thing that was just five minutes of spots of the two guys in an empty building to a techno soundrack? That was Kid Fite and Davey Blaze who are both based in Scotland. It wasn't at an actual show, but was filmed for an art film of some kind.

Don't take offense, but this part of the entry made me laugh out loud for so many different reasons.
JerryvonKramer Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 Yeah that was it! Empty arena, techno soundtrack. Thanks Mr. Lister. They looked decent to me. It was TOTALLY random though, just like 5 minutes after the evening news on primetime TV. Will let you know how this Stevenage show turns out.
Dylan Waco Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 From this weeks Observer: Kenta Kobashi did a public training session on 2/23 to build his 5/11 retirement match at Budokan Hall. Kobashi said that he wanted Toshiaki Kawada to come to the show. Kawada now works at a Ramen noodle shop.
El-P Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 Getting a plate of ramen from Kawada would be the most surreal thing ever to me.
ohtani's jacket Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 Getting a plate of ramen from Kawada would be the most surreal thing ever to me.
pantherwagner Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 Fuck it Kawada ramen. I will be in Japan in a few weeks. Address? I want to go to Bull Nakano's restaurant too, last time that I was in Tokyo the place was closed while she was buying a new bigger place.
El-P Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 Getting a plate of ramen from Kawada would be the most surreal thing ever to me. AWESOME !
Ricky Jackson Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 I've wandered into the wild (to paraphrase Matt D) and find myself in a situation where claiming Jerry Lawler is a better wrestler than Lance Storm is the MINORITY opinion.
Matt D Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 Next contrast Mark Henry and Kurt Angle and see what happens.

Ricky Jackson Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 It's part of a fantasy wrestling tournament on Facebook, and based on the early results, Angle v. Brody in the finals is a distinct possibility.

If you can't find him, look through my friends list... he's on there. I'm pretty sure I've seen Masa post a picture of Kawada at his restaurant. Masa also is a pretty good hook up if you want to know if there are any shows going on that might interest you. Still a big fan, and he's always been one of the nicest guys around.
BrickHithouse Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 Check out the birthday section. Is MARTYEWR really 93 years old today?
Ricky Jackson Posted February 28, 2013 Report Posted February 28, 2013 We should ask him his thoughts on Londos as a worker and a draw.

I want to go to Bull Nakano's restaurant too, last time that I was in Tokyo the place was closed while she was buying a new bigger place. It's in Kitami, Setagaya, close to Seijogakuen-mae station. You can also access it from Futako-Tamagawa station. http://orenooudou.com/ Bull runs a bar now in Nakano near Shinjuku. Here's a random ass youtube video showing how to find it --
Graham Crackers Posted March 1, 2013 Report Posted March 1, 2013 It's part of a fantasy wrestling tournament on Facebook, and based on the early results, Angle v. Brody in the finals is a distinct possibility.I just imagined Angle vs Brody and while it would probably be an awful match, something about the mental image of Brody not being willing to get suplexed by someone Angle's height made me laugh.
Jimmy Redman Posted March 1, 2013 Report Posted March 1, 2013 Next contrast Mark Henry and Kurt Angle and see what happens. I actually brought up this comparison as an aside on my board a few days ago. It went about exactly as you'd expect which is why I never pursued it, although I'm still thinking about writing something on the subject because I think the contrast is interesting.
Dylan Waco Posted March 1, 2013 Report Posted March 1, 2013 I've wandered into the wild (to paraphrase Matt D) and find myself in a situation where claiming Jerry Lawler is a better wrestler than Lance Storm is the MINORITY opinion. Pour some gasoline, light a match, run like hell
Slasher Posted March 1, 2013 Report Posted March 1, 2013 Why are people pouncing on the whole HHH peeing his pants thing from Raw? Like, who really cares? Wrestling is a physical thing, everyone knows HHH isn't actually peeing his pants in terror it is a weird thing to mock HHH, to me.
