Spikeguy posted:I've heard about the Warrior releasing several videos blasting Hogan about this and that? Does anyone know what brought this all on, what the videos have to deal with or Hogan's response? Hogan was talking crap on some video interview somewhere about Randy Savage after he died, so Warrior's going to trash Hogan for an hour on YouTube or something.

Flameingblack posted:Ultramantis Black is still pretty mysterious. I know of only one picture of him unmasked. It seems like he just strolls around the Philly area, in mask and character. Most of his face got exposed during that match he had with Kizarny in.. New York? He tried to stay covered up for the crowd, but that camera guy kept trying to sneak a peek.

SMASH is the weirdest company I've ever seen. One minute there's a guy from Finland speaking weird Engrish, then there's a fat guy with a chainsaw, then Tommy Dreamer and Ultimo Dragon show up, then an amazing joshi match or two and Tajiri strutting around as king. Then Sabu crashes through a table and the Japanese crowd chants ECW. I've only seen one full SMASH show and didn't really care for it until the last three matches, but their promotional videos for them are amazing.

I don't really buy the "safer style" argument, personally. The more prominent indy companies do lots of higher risk stuff all the time, but they're trained well enough that there's rarely a dangerous botch. On the other hand, the puffed up guys in WWE tear and injure body parts all the time just doing regular stuff. And is there really much risk in a technical/mat wrestling or submission-based style? Why doesn't WWE do those if they don't want to risk injuries with too much high flying or bumping?

Does that take into account the indy wrestlers who work in multiple companies? WWE's regulars probably still do more shows, but I don't know that it's a huge gap. They could still teach their guys some grappling chains or something. Obviously the WWE Universe are entertained just fine by two or three moves a match with the rest all punching and kicking, but it's not my thing.

Samoa Joe made Kurt Angle tap to the ankle lock in their iron man match, but it was a second after the time limit ran out. Also, lots of the Chikara Special/Inverted Chikara Special stuff, but I don't know if that'd count.

Lots of indy guys can physically do what the other guys do, so I don't really understand that complaint. What sets some above others to me is they're good enough to put the different pieces together and make it great. Also, this.

I think it depends on what type of thing goes viral and how interesting any follow-up material is. Even though Punk's surprisingly shoot-like promos caught on and he and Cena had a perfect match at MitB, I still don't care about Raw or WWE in the least because the rest of it is still the same. I saw clips of Chikara skits for at least a year before I started seriously looking at them and now they're my favorite company ever. They were just funny clips until I eventually saw a match or two that hooked me.

Oatgan posted:The best part of Big Apple Take Down is that at the very end when Triple H has his showdown with the bad guy. The bad guy escapes in his car and almost runs Triple H over. But wait! Triple H found a loving sledgehammer laying on the ground in this alley. So Trips throws the sledgehammer through the windshield and the career loses control and crashes into a wall. I'm going to assume someone's career crashing into a wall once they face Triple H was completely intentional.

The more I hear/see from Great Sasuke, the more I love him.

It's all part of the game of human chess. A wrestler goes for frequent pins because it forces his opponent to expend energy to kick out. The opponent waits until two because that's two seconds he's not being attacked and that moment's relapse can help him regain some of his breath. ... Which he'll then use to kick out. /Zbyszko  I love Chikara in many many ways, but one thing they do always annoys me. When it's a tag match with technicos vs. rudos, the referee (almost always Bryce for some reason) always turns a blind eye to the rudos while actually getting physically in the way to prevent the technicos from retaliating. I get this is basic wrestling to make you hate the heel, but it doesn't. It makes me hate the referee who won't turn around despite knowing who the good and bad guys are. During the year of the BDK I was half-expecting it to be part of the story that Remsburg would bury the BDK on commentary while secretly helping them win matches and no one suspected him until he Nick Patricked them all after Sabato got taken out or something.
