Lately, I’ve been watching:
The 16-man elimination match and the mask vs. mask main event from the CMLL PPV from March of 2000. The elimination match is good, and there are some typically goofy Lucha holds in there, but it could have been better with about five minutes cut off. The mask vs. mask match still holds up, and is great stuff with one of the most emotional reactions you’ll ever see. When Villano III loses and is being interviewed in the ring prior to taking his mask off, you see s
I forgot I had this thing.
I went to Colorado again, this time I went to see Kari's brother who recently moved to Silverthorne after to we went to Estes and he realized how much he loved the mountains. He got a job as a mechanic at a chevy dealership, the same job he had before, but this time for like double the pay. He lives in a nice apartment above a mexican grocery store, which I think is a front, cuz there were mexicans in and out of that thing non-stop! I think they are selling a litt

This sunday night TNA will offer it's biggest show in it's history with a PACKED card.
The Card
Diamonds in the Rough Vs Apollo, Siaki and Shark Boy
-In what is essentially time filler that will be used to put over Diamonds as a heel force, it won’t be horrible but won’t be special. Some think it’ll be used in the “free” section of the show, but I don’t. I expect it to occur during the late
This was part of the NWA Tag Title tournament that WCW held in 1992. Originally, only the first round matches were to be shown on this broadcast I believe, but they did an angle were Steve Williams and Terry Gordy (who were slated to face the winner) took out the Steiners' first round opponents. The reason being that Doc and Gordy wanted to get at the Steiners as soon as possible. So Bill Watts ended up announcing that the match that all the fans wanted to see, would take place tonight.

I just saw this match, and since I don't have it on DVD or tape, decided to review it on my first watching so I'd have something to go back to if it ever came up in discussion. I haven't seen a whole lot about this match, other than Meltzer giving it ****3/4, so I don't really know how this match is regarded by the populace. I basically went in with a clean slate.
The match starts very sloppily. A Thesz press counter is almost completely botched, and Austin's offense just looks horrible. Th
Back In Black
You go away for a week or so, and things really did get worse. I didn’t think it was possible, but TSM actually got worse while I was gone. This place was only drenched in idiocy before, but now it’s a full out flood, and the women and children are manning the lifeboats. If anyone has any real gems to point out that should get posted in my blog PM me a link or something, because just a cursory glance over the past week or so of TSM postings has made me reach for the sick bag a
Calmness?

Christian vs. JBL vs. Rey Mysterio vs. Booker T w/Sharmell
** 3/4 stars. Nothing too specal. I hope for a good match for the title...
Nunzio w/Vito vs.
More like condemation.
Ok, I am not going to state matches here. There is really no reason to. All it has been that Smackdown, even though its the B (read Bush-Leauge) show- doesnt have the owners of the company basicly rampaging all over the Program. At least there are a few workers there, that might start to become stars. It makes no sense when McMahan is trying to get Lucha stars for the RAW based program...
Or maybe it does? Because it seems to me its indictive of the demographic c
The power is back. Never seen that before. Since I don't plan for this to be regular, you're not getting any match timings or whatever. Enjoy.

No Mercy recap - since I didn't see this, all I can is that I like it when Mysterio wears black. Also, they didn't need to OMG the Undertaker thing and give Eddie/Batista about five seconds of clip. That's just askin' for abuse.

Randy Orton's wearing his new t-shirt. It may be an nWo rip-off, but it still looks cool. Good
I finally saw it today. It was fairly entertaining, but a few things really kept it out of MOTYC range.
What wasn't good
The chop sequence wasn't put over very well, and it was way too long. It was a fine idea, it just wasn't executed well.
The no-selling was just terrible. No-selling an exploder is one thing, no-selling a northern lights bomb is something else.
What was good
Kobashi's actual selling is fantastic, and it always has been.
Both guys used great body la

Ken Kennedy should be the WWE MVP- I am not too sure of his work rate (hes c-ranked right now and hasnt got a long 10 min match to show where he is, compared to Orton or Cena, but right now he got a strong charator. (if he is Arn Anderson's Son but I am not sure of
It's not the WWE.
It's not All Japan Pro Wrestling.
It has to do with worked fighting.
It's not UWF-i.
It has to do with women.
It's not AJW.
...It's called "The Real Catfight".
For those uninitiated, The Real Catfight/Japanese Catfighting takes two Japanese women, puts them in a ring (or in many cases, a tarped covered mat) and pits them against each other in a battle of wills. The objective is not only to pin or submit your opponent within a 3, 3 minute roun
Why is it, that when people who are exposed to a hyped-up promotion for the first time, expect every single match to be great? I see this all the time with ROH, and I recently saw it with NOAH too. I see people complaining about a card-opening comedy match or a mid-card indy spotfest, and that supposedly means the promotion isn't great. What kind of logic is this, especially considering I don't see anyone claiming that ROH or NOAH produces great matches up and down the card. It's just not possib
Last night I was bored and thought I'd give ROH a little look. The "Scramble Cage - Melee" match was available for download on a forums I'm on so I thought I'd give it a look. Perhaps it was a bad match to choose, perhaps it's not always this bad, but frankly it was awful.
"8. Jack Evans defeated Trent Acid to win Scramble Cage Melee which included Loc & Devito, Maff & Whitmer, The Outcast Killaz, Fast Eddie, Alter Boy Luke, and Dunn & Marcos"

What I'd like to see you do is put together a card made up of the best matches that you've ever seen. That means no fantasy booking; just matches that you yourself have seen and think highly of. There are a few rule to follow:
1. The card should have seven to nine matches, depending on their length.
2. No wrestler can wrestle on the card twice UNLESS he is part of a gauntlet match that you really want on there. Round Robin tournaments don't count as a gauntlet match, so you can't put
Raw Returns to USA- Smackdown Tries to Crash The Party-and The Dames Returnes to TSM!
First off, sorry for the late, late reviews, but Man, I have been busy trying to get two shows down and get the rest compleated- note that this weeks episode of my Radio Show- Toon Radio Advance Regen- has a review of Fire Pro R.
So now first off the Smackdown Matches:

HTQ Op Ed #1: Some People Are Really Stupid
I know it’s not the most groundbreaking of statements to make, but some people out there are really stupid. What makes some of those people even more stupid is that they should know better. Yet, for some reason, they don’t. Why are these people stupid? Well, these people think it’s a good thing that Vince McMahon, for the Raw ‘Homecoming’ on the USA network is flushing away around $7.5m in potential PPV revenue for a show that, A: Is part of a rat
HTQ in TNA’s debut on Spike
The opening video package was great, and it really made TNA seem like something special and, more importantly, different to WWE.
The Impact opening is great too. It looks similar to the opening for Smackdown, but it blows that one out of the water.
First up, AJ Styles vs. Roderick Strong, and the crowd treated AJ like a superstar when he came out, and that really came across well on television, which is important. We need more shots of that blonde chick
I've tried to watch ROH, I really wanted to like it. And yes, there are a few matches from the promotion that I have really, really enjoyed. But for the most part, I can't watch the stuff. There are a combination of reasons why, particularly everything about it, but there is one thing that takes my dislike for ROH and turns it into hate.
The fans.
Yes. I hate ROH fans more than I hate ROH's announcing. More than ROH's attempts at being everything but professional wrestling. I can
