i went to one of these wrestling shows and it was... honestly? frickin boring. i wanna see ricky! i want to see his gold chains and respect for the ftw lifestyle
oh man the crowd's reaction to johnny winning and JOHNNY's reaction to johnny winning :allears:

i actually think dream's "injury" is a part of gargano's story right now, rather than a real injury or covering for a suspension. mauro made sure to talk about how johnny wasn't supposed to even be in contention, much less beat ohno, how he's needed to change it up, get back to winning ways, etc.

Eh, if that was the idea, you'd shoot an angle where TUE takes out Dream and Cole tries to get Fish or KOR into the tournament so he has a buddy in the 4 way, only for Regal to put Gargano in instead. (And yes, they can retroactively claim this is what happened, but if Dream was healthy and not in trouble, you'd literally shoot the beatdown)

Just finished NXT. Nigel calling the jobber "JBL" and "NWO Bradshaw" had me dying. Great main too, although I'm a bit tired of UE. HUGE pop for the Gargano win was real nice.

I've seen a number of cirque du soleil shows and there's always at least a few guys/gals that make me think "they'd make a great pro-wrestler!"

Not the singers or guys who climb stacked chairs or whatever, but the dudes that are ripped as gently caress and insanely acrobatic. Also some of their shows have clowns and those guys really 'get' physical comedy and would make amazing jobbers, but that's probably not much of an upward career move.

Montez Ford is so far above Dawkins it's kind of ridiculous. If anything, they should drop Dawkins and Tucker Knight, then team Ford up with Otis Dozovic.

I was thinking that if Velveteen Dream doesn't come back it will look like his sole purpose in coming to NXT was to make Alisteir Black say his name. I'm OK with that story.

Well factually Sara did win tough enough, so that is correct. As for the star part, yeah no one cares about Westley Blake. Reminder: Blake is on the NXT house show circuit right now with a gimmick of The Revival, except more racist. And nowhere near as fun to watch in the ring.

So I literally have about $150 in Fite TV referral credit (and no clue what to get having already order that Moat based MMA in Jan) and I was wondering how were the ROH PPVs this year? Was the last one any good?

I already have Global Wars Chicago which I still need to watch.

I mean, Chelsea Green was the best one but Mandy was a very obvious second.

I think Mason Ryan works for Cirque du Soleil as an archer now, or at least did for some period after his release

The only positives to come out of that season of Tough Enough are Patrick Clark and the reaction .gif of DB, Miz, and Paige after Mandy called Sara a ring rat.

Which, in hindsight, is simultaneously funnier and less of a joke.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Remember when Marty "The Moth/Shaman" Martinez was the best part of a Tough Enough season though? They're not exactly breeding the future here

Just a heads up, there will be more NXT tapings starting on the 4th of January. That will be the only set for the month, then at the start February there will be two sets of tapings back to back (Feb. 1 and Feb. 2), which will fill up any time leading up to Takeover: New Orleans. So for anyone who reads spoiler reports, we'll probably have an idea of the New Orleans Takeover card early next month.

NXT tonight is a best-of, I guess! Which is good for me because I only have two episodes to catch up on before going to tomorrow's taping live :)

I'm slightly worried we might end up having an obstructed view because of where I think they're going to put the hard cam, but hopefully it's not gonna be a big deal. If they put the hard cam in the audience (and not on the stage) like they did for the San Antonio tapings, it'll also probably result in a very empty-seeming venue on TV. Otoh the alternative with the hard cam on the stage is that the wrestlers playing to the hard cam would have to face, y'know, nobody but the audience at home, so it does seem like the better option
