Verily, the whip is ghost riding.



I was watching ROH and some guy had a pretty cool finisher on paper but in execution it looked terrible. It was a torture rack into a GTS but I can't remember the guys name, Damon Jindrak or something similar.

Why is it called "Feast Your Eyes" and why does every finisher have to be a stupid pun or a geeky reference now. Whose fault is this.

Is it Kenny Omega or WWE?

Because like the torture rack, it's a good looking feat of strength and plays well into his look and gimmick.

It's no Saxtonation.

Feast your eyes is his catchphrase and pun/ character associated finishers have been around forever, I'd say if there's fault to be had its on you for being unobservant

I admit it's totally subjective. I think what annoys me is when they sound too punny or not even violent. Rude Awakening is a phrase people actually use. Ram-Paige and Paige Turner are lousy ones that immediately come to mind.

If she'd done an STO and called it the PTO, that could've been kind of cute. But the WWE production didn't help with the insistence on giving the acronym AND the meaning every drat time. WHY EVEN HAVE AN ACRONYM THEN?

The PTO (the The Paige Tap Out) is only good because it evolved into to the best move, the PTO On The Announce Table, the most damaging submission.

This checks out, even though the announce table is a good 2 feet lower than the ring.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Here's a random question that I've been wondering for awhile. How come all the women wrestlers in WWE seem to be wearing nylons? I can imagine that there's some sort of "cover up bruises/protect against wardrobe malfunction" explanation that could make sense but its not like Randy Orton and Finn Balor are wearing panty hose. So is it just some backwards puritanical thing I never noticed before HD?

Naomi doesn't, so maybe it's a "fake tan that won't come out on your opponent" thing?

Finn Balor’s balls popped out once so maybe he should.

Covers up bruises, keeps your legs looking really consistent, less friction on the mat, no reason not to. Orton should too.

So I guess the other part of the question is have they always been wearing pantyhose and i just didn't notice until I started regularly watching on a big rear end tv in HD?

Aphrodite

Almost everyone wearing them is pretty recent. Probably with the current group of women going back to Paige or so.

But like Wendi Richter wore tights sometimes too, it goes back.

I just watched Inoki vs Flair on NJPW and enjoyed it a lot, but I'm disappointed that the entrances are missing. Does anyone know where to find footage of their entrances?

1. Just because Shinsuke Nakamura might get ideas doesn't mean Finn should have to cover himself up if he doesn't want to.
2. Balor's club is for everyone

If it is the match from the WCW North Korea show it should be on either youtube or dailymotion, if you can't find it let me know and I should be able to pull it out of my archives and put it up on dailymotion.

With a few exceptions the vast majority of female WWE gear is a sports bra variant and very high cut shorts, whoever started the trend probably went with nylons for all the reasons listed above and I'd imagine they cover gear stuff in some Performance Center class

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.
I was re-watching Shibata vs Ishii from the G1 Climax a while back and now I'm interested in some of the best wrestling "Sprints" of all time? I'm talking about the best say, 5-10 minutes where everyone gives everything they've got to someone and they just keep getting back up.

The first Joe vs Angle match is basically them throwing bombs at each other for 12 minutes. Joe vs Kobashi is the same way but Kobashi doesn't have to use everything in his book to put Joe away.

The Nigel vs Claudio and Albright defenses were very much like this too.
