I just reupped my F4W/WON subscription last week after 2 years or so, and I love how on the site, that article has no indication of the author in the link and no byline. That can't be an accident.

quote:For some reason, there’s a cool chant that resonates in my brain, which isn’t non-violent, and yet remains simplistic enough for that concept called a catchphrase, and this was one that so many fans spontaneously erupted with during that shining era of ROH, and the first year or so of Joe’s tenure with TNA. I’m sure my hardcore peeps know what I’m talking about. I have no loving idea what he's talking about here. Guess I am not one of his hardcore peeps.

Reading it back, the "isn't non-violent" makes it probably "JOE IS GONNA KILL YOU." And who the gently caress can't pronouce "Samoa" besides Scott Steiner?

From the DVDVR boards, a place I loved a decade ago but is pretty much poo poo now: quote:Ambrose/Rollins made the stipulation for the match meaningless about six minutes in, had some lovely crowd brawling and wandering around ringside, and then had that terrible spot where Ambrose dove on Rollins while the latter was being carried back by the lumberjacks which was so lame and clearly set up that it took me totally out of the match. Obviously, it worked with the live crowd, so obviously "actively bad" is a more obviously subjective judgment than it would be for many other matches, but I really hated it. I don't think pro wrestling is for you, son.

Another DVDVR gem:quote:they should not be broadcasting nxt on the network nor advertising it as a special event. It has nothing to do with match quality, but rather you are overexposing future stars, taking away the surprise of their arrival, and allowing fans to see them developing. Latest example, the Ascension...loses title to a former WWE jobber and 5'6 luchador, beat up by one guy on the way out the door, yet you expect them to be built as credible challengers on the big show. Does them no favors. As a Pirates fan (  ) living in Indy, I sure got tired of seeing Andrew McCutchen when he was with the Indianapolis Indians and gave no fucks about him by the time he became the Pirates' franchise player.

From Pro Wrestling Only, a board that is half-really interesting and half-utter stuck up garbage, comes this:quote:Can you imagine the final round of Mayweather v Pacquiao, Amir Khan running down to the ring completely fresh and cashing in his contract and getting to box the worn out champion for a few more rounds? That is how ridiculous this charade is, unbelievable that they have run with it for ten years.
