John Cena has a shitty finisher, and the fans still cheer him. But yeah, I still agree. That brings me to another point: Benjamin has no character. He's a white meat babyface who takes no guff AND he's athletic. That's it. At least Cena has his, albeit boring, rapper character. I can't believe they brought back Viscera. Fucking hell.
-
Benjamin needs to add more snap to the T-Bone or drop it as a finisher, because that was no worse than a slam.

Its time for a VELOCITY (12-04-04) THREAD
Tawren replied to UseTheSledgehammerUh's topic in The WWE Folder
I just want to chime in and say that London/Akio was a fantastic match. They didn't have boatloads of time or name recognition going in, but that crowd was digging that match by the end. Wrestling DOES get over with the marks, and that match is absolute proof that they don't need to do stupid diva bikini crap every week to entertain the casual viewers. In those 6 minutes, London and Akio completely out-did anything anybody will do on Armageddon. Kudos to them. -
Ugh. The Iron-Man was an absolutely shitty match. Like, * tops. Directionless shit with a terrible run-in ending. Don't forget the slow-as-fuck pacing and bored crowd. Let's toss in pointless repetition (blind charges? check! wasteful brawling? CHECK!). I can't believe _ANYBODY_ liked that.

Hate the attitude, often love the wrestling. That about sums it up for my stance on ROH.

Despite my intense dislike of ROH, I broke down and got: Generation Next 5/22/04 Survival Of the Fittest 6/24/04 Glory By Honor 3 9/11/04 Joe vs Punk 2 10/16/04 Weekend of Thunder Night 1 11/5/04 Why? I really don't know. I could have done what I usually do and got 1st gens of these for about 35, tops, rather than the 114 I spent. Masters are masters, though, so I went for it. Fuck. Oh well, not like I would have spent the money on anything productive anyways.

Kahran, you're missing the January 2000 win over the Big Show.
-
krazykat, you do realize Joe doesn't just wrestle for ROH, right? Joe has also actively competed in PWG, JAPW, IWA:MS, and several other indies. Just because he is ROH champion doesn't mean that is all he does. Edit: Got mixed up, sorry Mad Dog.

The DVDVR Lost thread mentioned this: Ethan Rom is from Ontario. Google the word Rom. Tee hee. The more I think about it, the more I really liked this episode. Great stuff.

To quote the great Dave Prazak: HOLY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! 1. Ending. Holy fucking shit. WHAT AN ENDING. Up there with Locke's, really. Creepy beyond belief. 2. Locke's reaction to Sayid's return....INTENSE~! 3. The psychic freaking out, the psychic confronting Claire, and the psychic sending her on the plane to eliminate the chance of the baby growing up...fuck. That's just COLD BLOODED. 4. Shannon with the line(z) of the night. "He's a liberal" and "I am SOO not moving to the rape caves." 5. Hurley with line #3 of the night: "My name is Hugo Ramos, Hurley is a nickname, I'm not telling you how I got it." 6. SAWYER. OOZES CHARISMA. MACHISMO. Awesome. 7. Really good flashbacks for Claire. I loved the adoption/signing scene. Great facials. 8. Again, I really notice the music. FANTABULOUSPECTACULAR. Love it. 9. Way less Kate than usual this week, which I liked - she's a good character, but I haven't liked her that much when she is overexposed. 10. FORESHADOWING: Locke in the dream at the start. You KNOW that is leading somewhere. BONUS 11. Charley: "I'm a drug addict. Was a drug addict. I'm clean." Claire: "GO!" BONUS 12. Love the mention of the generic duo Scott and Steve. They rock.

It makes me feel sad seeing people believing that Jericho or Flair or someone will take the belt. We know HHH is winning.
-
This was a huge deal to the people at my job today. Why? I don't know. I've never got the obsession with celebrities. I never will. But I hate the people that do. So very, very much.

It's a stupid comment. ROH/Japanese/Xdivision matwork? What the hell? You do know there is more than one Japanese promotion, right? You do know that ROH isn't the only indy, right? You do know the X Division is shitty highspots for matches about 5 minutes long, right? It's just a completely retarded thing to say. You're grouping three completely different things together in a completely random way.

This is such a stupid comment. Anyways, I think by changing the overall style to be more wrestling based, the state of the WWE would get better. People need to have fun watching wrestling. Watching HHH talk for 30 minutes, then HHH backstage for 30 minutes, then Benoit vs Edge for no reason for 15 minutes, then HHH coming to the ring for 15 minutes, then HHH talking for 30 minutes is no fun for anybody, so they turn it off. But if you give them matches where they can cheer for people (I think more would be inclined to say "Orton won!" than "Orton served HHH with a huge diss!"). Also, more matches (booked correctly, of course) can lead to a better development of character than interviews can. Okay, Carlito hates the Pittsburgh Penguins and Eddie Guerrero OR Carlito beat the crap out of Eddie Guerrero. Which sounds better? Of course.

Alexander - Well, it's apparently a pile of shit.
Tawren replied to Downhome's topic in Television & Film
From the trailers I have seen, it looks like ANOTHER foot-soldiers-fight-to-the-death-so-it's-an-epic piece of shit. Just like Troy, King Arthur, and so forth. And fuck that shit, it's stupid. And fuck Colin Farrell while we're at it. "Hollywoods Bad Boy!" Who cares? And those who do: why? I wish he and all those Entertainment Tonight folk would just die already. Fuck Alexander. -
Fuck no, this shit is retarded.

Calgary and area: Not a shit-ton of snow, but some. The problem is, any snow (even a teensy amount) makes drivers automatically suck. "Oh no, a small amount of snow! I better fish tail in the school zone!" I almost hit this bitch soccer mom type today when she started doing that.

Made 76 bucks. Not bad, not bad. Not good either. But at least I'm beating Curry.

So What Senate Moron Is Responsible For This?
Tawren replied to Hogan Made Wrestling's topic in Current Events
I think we should all download several movies right now just to spite those MPAA fuckers. -
Isn't it a little early for a Best Of thread? Like, really early? It's not even December.

From Bob Barnett and KrisZ on the DVDVR boards: "Big Lazy, Kevin Nash, will work on the AAA Guerra de Titanes show. It'll be Cibernetico & La Parka Jr. vs. Diesel (Kevin Nash) & Konnan." I hope he busts out a plancha or two.

If you live in SoCal or can get to this show, GO. I cannot stress this enough. GO. This will be the FINAL Revolution Pro event. I, myself, am incredibly sad that I will end up never having gone to a RevPro show. As for the card: it looks incredible. WAR GAMES. Nuff said on that. Scorpio/Quicksilver should be incredible, Scorpio has had an awesome 2004 and this has been building for a long time. Super Dragon vs Mr. Excitement in a RevJ 2002 finals rematch. Undercard looks awesome. Fuck. I wish I could go.

The Wrestling Gold/SMW DVD I have is "Night of Legends", so if we are talking of the same DVD it is really good. There is a great Thrillseekers vs Heavenly Bodies match, plus lots of other good southern style wrestling. Highly recommended. If you are asking about the Wrestling Gold "Before they were Superstars", which has lots of SMW footage if I've heard correctly, then I don't know because I don't have that yet. Hoping to get it soon, though.
