iamthedoctor Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 I get a preshow is there to hype the PPV matches but one thing that always annoyed me as a kid was when Pettengill would be around the arena hyping something at ringside there was always a match in the ring. I know its a dark match but damn just show the bloody thing. If it was Bodies/Bushwhackers or Kwang/Plugg having a dark just don't see why they didn't just show the entire match. I know they did from 1996 onwards but a shame the mid 90s stuff didnt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blehschmidt Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 PWG just announced David Starr vs Travis Banks for the next show. Glad he is getting another shot with a more suitable opponent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see the preshow or dark matches from a lot of these PPV's, I'd imagine they'd have to have been taped so I don't know why they don't get added to the network or a DVD release.

iamthedoctor Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 I know alot of fans feel Mabel was a terrible choice to Main Event Summerslam but would it have been better if we had gotten Shawn/Taker in the KOTR 95 finals?

Mad Dog Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Shawn/Diesel II would have been a far superior choice. I would have taken Diesel/Taker over what we got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richeyedwards Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Kotoka who wrestles for dragon gate has announced he is going to retire on an upcoming Korakuen show in march, he is 28. The reason for retirement is sadly injuries, he has had 4 surgeries in 2 years on his knees and neck. He was never the best wrestler but was a really good babyface over the last year cultivating a small but fiercely defense fanbase. His younger brother has just debuted in December. Kotoka has always struggled with being small even for dragon gate and was relegated to being an undercard jobber act. He later turned heel and joined verserK where he was the whipping boy for the group always taking the pins. He was thrown out of verserK in 2016 and joined MaxiMuM in 2017 where he had his best run even getting a win in a Korakuen main event and a tag title shot on a major show.

WingedEagle Posted January 27, 2018 Report Share Posted January 27, 2018 Wow, that Kotoka news is terrible. As noted above he really shined last year and provided a unique energy up and down the card, always bringing great fire to his outings. Hopefully he stays healthy and busy in the years ahead.

Edwin Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Anyone catch wXw Back to the Roots XVII yet? Pretty underwhelming overall. I was really looking forward to the women's title match and the WarGames style single ring cage match, but they were OK at best. I like Killer Kelly a lot, but she's still obviously very green and from what I've seen of Toni Storm, she's seemed OK'ish. The cage match was literally all over the place though and it lacked blood and intensity unfortunately. I started following the organizations this year, so I will try and keep up with all the weekly Shotgun events and the marquee events.

If you follow them, just skip everything and watch the cage match. It's underwhelming, but there's story progression there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveJRogers Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Looks like 2/10/1993 was Flair's last appearance. Looks like his last series of matches was a tour of Germany. I think from the Rumble it's clear he was leaving. I wonder when he decided? You would have to think mid December by the latest. You figure he gives 6 weeks notice, that's around Christmas and goes through the Germany tour and gives them a couple of weeks to do the Hennig match. PTB Podcast did a whole segment of their RR 93 episode of looking through Graham Cawthons results site to pinpoint Flair final appearance for the company. Fun listen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Perhaps at some point there should be a Mania Weekend Thread... maybe I will just start it, but Joey Janela announced last night that he is facing The Great Sasuke at Joey Janela's Spring Break 2.... which is INSANE. That match is going to be next-level bonkers. I honestly can't wait for that show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laz Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 From what I remember (courtesy of his appearances on MLW podcasts), he started eating healthier around the time he started smoking weed, which is within 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Log Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 My 10-month-old son has started doing that baby thing where they just randomly point at stuff.
