Smile. Win. Yay!

What are some great non-standard ways of getting into the ring? I'm a big fan of Alexa Bliss's twisty entrance and Colin Delaney's where he slides in feet first.

Jake Roberts slithering in under the ropes immediately let you know what his character was all about, which ruled. I also really liked Regal wiping his feet before getting into the ring.

The opposite sort of thing but Christian always doing a full over the top rope jump to the outside just to slap the guy in the 619 position always made me think he was going to gently caress his leg up one of these days on a dumb slap spot.

Anime is Bad.
Except for Pokemon, Valkyria Chronicles and 100% OJ.

So, as I'm piled into the backseat for tge drive home from the Super J Cup, I'm curious. What would I want to look at to see some more serious Liger matches, where he really goes at it hard?

Christian either has an infallible way to land on his feet or completely indestructible legs because he’s also the dude who would take all those insane leg/hip first falls to the outside in ladder and TLC matches

I always enjoyed Super Crazy's entrance: slide into the ring, then pop up onto his head then up.

My favourite way of getting into the ring was from this years Triplemania where Aerostar descended from the ceiling and then just did a crossbody onto a bunch of people. Aerostar's need to jump off everything rivals Kota Ibushi.

Vs Benoit
Vs Great Sasuke
Vs El Samurai
Vs Pillman
Vs Ultimo Dragon
Vs Kanemoto

Basically the first twenty years of his career is Liger going hard.

Why did they keep giving Yokozuna more managers during his World title run? He already had Fuji, then Wippleman showed up with the exploding camera, and by Summerslam '93 they'd given him Cornette as well.

The sexiest wrestler does not have hair that looks that bad. The sexiest wrestler knows how to use conditioner.

It's SANADA. Though I think Kzy gets an honourable mention.

Harvey wasn't his manager and Fuji's interview skills were limited.

I am 90% sure he misheard Gedo saying 'bleed with the switchblade' because Gedo does have a noticeable Japanese accent when speaking English. Then he said it in the promos and the New Japan office shrugged, went "sounds cool" because they don't loving care if it makes sense in English, and started making merch.

he's "Switchblade" Jay White, when you follow him, you are so lock step that even your breathing matches his.

Whatever happened to Isis the Amazon/Aloisa? She was hired by WWE for OG NXT in 2010 but was replaced after her adult photos were discovered or leaked. What did she do after leaving WWE? Return to wrestling or find work in a less lovely industry?

I think she wrestled for some tiny indie or two and went back to acting, no idea if that panned out for her.

This is now my head cannon.

I assumed it had something to do with like, getting your trachea cut open with a switchblade and having the air go in and out of that but this explanation is much better and less gross.

The Gymini. They were Simon Dean’s short lived sidekicks and they accomplished nothing. Imagine having a gimmick that’s a downgrade from giant penises.

Fuji was always a horrible manager and could never cut promos. It was just hidden before cause he managed lower card talent. But for your heel world champion you do actually need promos so that's why they cycled in guys till the got Cornette who could actually cut an amazing promo

In terms of talent to gimmick ratio, Mike Awesome as The Fat Chick Thriller is pretty egregious

This lead me to the Mike Awesome Wikipedia page and what the gently caress is going on in this sentence? I’m dying

Wikipedia posted:

At the conclusion of the match, Mike Awesome-Bombed Shaggy 2 Dope onto the roof of the bus. However, the slippery metal surface gave yield to Dope’s lithe, supple frame and he fell tragically to the concrete below.

Question 1: has there been an announcer in the past 20 years who is as bad as Corey Graves?

Question 2: I've only just bothered to watch it because it was highly praised, but did anybody enjoy this Lesnar/Rollins match? I feel Finn and Brock had this same match at the Royal Rumble which was much better.
