I’m extremely late to this party, but I finally got around to watching Max Landis’s “Wrestling isn’t Wrestling” and, oh man, if you haven’t seen it, you have to. It’s just fantastic.
Happily seconded. Here’s a link.
I’ve actually interacted with Max Landis on another website I do stuff on. He struck me as a nice guy.
Using women to represent the wrestlers (except Chyna who is a man) and having them mouth the funny way Max talked, and the random celebrities…just perfect.
I lolled at the John Cena chick wearing the SPOILER: I WIN shirt.
The HHH saga is still going strong. I’d love to see Son of Egon update this for this year’s WM.
So apparently the Bayley/Finn thing is a thing now.
Last night, at my house show, the main event was a mixed-tag Finn and Bayley vs. Joe and Nia Jaxx. The match was fine and all, Finn has a new finisher (it’s some face-smasher DDT type thing), and the good guys ended up winning.
After the match, they gave Bayley a mic and she asked Finn “What does Balor 3:16 say?” and he donned some kind of weird kid-voice and said “It means can I have this dance?”. So then “Time of my Life” comes on and they dance in the ring and pulled the Swayze/Jennifer Gray thing and it was entertaining…but weird. So I don’t know if they’re a (kayfabe) couple now? Or just being silly? It was weird.
No other REAL breaking news from the show. Elias Sampson came in through the crowd and was booed to all getout, he faced Sami Zayn (fist time we’ve seen him at a house show). We also saw the MMA chick who was on tough enough. She lost to Evil Emma and Asuka came out for like 2 seconds. I think they’re changing Hugo Knox’s character from a gay dancer to the new Tyler Breeze/model-badass guy. Dude is jacked to all getout, sports a giant badass tattoo, and is some kind of English…how he isn’t a soccer hooligan is beyond me…
This is getting weirder. Say you decided to wear it under your clothing at a show. Would you be satisfied knowing you did it and keep it to yourself, or would you feel the need to brag? Would you turn to the person in the seat next to you and say “Guess what I’m wearing under my jeans?” Which would be the worse outcome - you getting escorted out by security for being a perv, or actually admitting out loud that you’re wearing Bull Dempsey’s singlet?
Cena’s wristband, Ambrose’s shirt, etc would make you look like a huge mark, and thus innocent, but Dempsey’s singlet? That’s just w3iRd.
I’d pay money to hear Corey Graves mock him on TV for it.
Oh hey, I wanted to add something. I watched NXT last night, having missed it the night before.
It is with great hesitation that I say that I wasn’t all that impressed with the American Alpha - Happy Fun Team match. Why? Because the ending was too damned formulaic. Gable gets his ass beat, makes the hot tag, Jordan does the exact same move set , and… exact same ending as every other match.
They definitely need to switch things around and do a few different match endings.
Oh, and as much as I enjoy watching Alexa Bliss, her outfit doesn’t complement her ass very much.
It’s not like it’s Virgil’s ring gear or something.
So, turns out that ROH’s anniversary show is about to go live on PPV.
I’m so watching this.
Yes, that is unfortunately true with every JJ/Bagels (I refuse to call them by that terrible-ass name) match. Whether it’s on TV or even at house shows, it’s always Bagels gets beat, tags JJ for the hot tag and they win. I’m with you that it’s a big problem and they need to change
The announcers referred to Gables as the Ricky Morton of the team, and that’s so true. Gables works 90% of the matches. He does however do some amazing moves before beatdown time. If the Alpha Americans ever split up, Jordan’s career will go down the toilet and Gables will take off.
Fabulous Freebirds in the HoF.
Somewhere Stone Cold is smiling
Lucha Underground is now on iTunes, so those of you who don’t get El Rey no longer have any excuse to not be watching it. 
I have 44.99 excuses not to watch it 
Oh, come now. I’m sure you’ve spent more than that on tickets for an NXT show, and one of those only runs a tenth the length of season one.
Hell, I’ve spent four times that amount on Bull Dempsey’s clothing.
I regret nothing
That is literally 5 NXT shows for me. Each show runs a little over 2 hours, so that’s 11 or 12 hours of wrestling, so about 12 episodes?
So fine, you win
still not buyin tho
That was a rather enjoyable RAW if I must be honest.
Great promos from Dean/Trips (Hey Hunter…Thanks), Stephanie and even Vince’s wasn’t terrible. Undertaker was wasted and if I were Mr. Calloway I’d be pissed that I had to do all that…for that.
Matches were OK too. Women’s match ending was dumb and ADR was pretty botch-tastic…but on the whole I wasn’t hating RAW much at all
STC, I remember how you marked out when I showed you LU before went to see Apocalyptica. You were amazed at how the announcers were actually intelligent. You know it’s worth it. Besides, you can always pay $35 for the SD version.
I got a notice from WWE.com that my email address changed to something with a .ru extension. Some commie hacked me! I sent them an email. Hopefully they’ll fix it soon.
I skipped RAW and actually feel good about it. No McMahon drama, no RR push, no two minute matches to make for extra promo time… it’s like I discovered a new world of pretty chirping birds and sunflowers!
Skipped Raw myself. Said I’m not watching as long as the McMahons dominate the story lines and I’m keeping that promise.
