Nah. Replace "screwing" "tried to screw", "HBK" with "RF", and "Bret Hart" with "14 year old boy" and you got the same case. But "pretend to say 18" with that last part

"Kevin Matthews - At only 18 years old, Kevin is 6' 4" tall and 230 pounds. He bumps and works much in the style of a very young Dick Murdoch. (Also tough shoes to fill) Kevin's interviews are strong. Kevin has a personality in the ring that the fans like. Even though he is a heel, it is always evident he is happy to be where he is. It is obvious he loves the business." - Dory Funk Jr. God, this is funny for so many reasons.

Kendra's racism makes her even hotter. Some call it ignorance, I call it innocence.

YOUR MMA Pic of the Day is! ARMBAR!~ (Of the Flying Variety) Rumina Sato vs. Charles Taylor, Shooto (Jan 15, 1999)

JtheD telling all the kids to raise their fists up was amazing.

I missed the first half of the show, and am only now witnessing the power and the glory of Haydens tank top. Jesus God Damn.

I dunno. Rebecca is becoming progressively hotter the more sarcastic she becomes, and Kendra has asthma and nice titties.

Jonathan the Douche, a douche to the end. Amen, my brother.

"I just wanna take one home" Like a toy. Or a pet?

Man, Kendra being asthmatic is so hot.

I dunno why, but I figured Matsui would have a better record than 6-12, and more matches. I gotta stop confusing him with Akira Shoji.

From where I was sitting HHH got a 60/40 heel/face reaction.

I don't want to talk about it.

The absolute highlight for me, fan-wise, was the guys dressed-up like Hassan.

It would have been cool if it followed the Michinoku Pro Mid-90's style of working a match with the mat work first, then the striking, then the high spots, then the power moves and a combination of the previous 3 to finish it up. Again, that would have required more time. The quick finish is probably why they did all the mat work, but I haven't seen a quick, unexpected, finished that I've liked so I don't know why that would be the objective. And this was labelled as the "main event" (which is retarded because it was the second last match, they barely get away with saying "main event" when it's 10:00, if at all, so that didn't make any sense), so it should have actually had a build to the finish.

God, I heard puppies chants too, but not during that match. Maybe it was a different section, but I'm like, "Jesus fucking Christ, this type of fan still exists?" A few more notes on the crowd: - I was surprised by the lack of hicks. At other shows we (Curry and I)went to, there were copious amounts of white trash. Mullets, jean jackets, the smell of whisky, etc. Didn't see much, if any, last night. Maybe that was because we didn't wait in line AT ALL to get into the ACC. Which was almost the biggest joy of the night as for _every_ show we've gone to we had to wait an ungodly amount of time for the doors to open and to get into the arena. I was expect there to be a line up to the far doors going into Union Station (if you've been to the ACC you may know what I'm talkin about) so needless to say I was elated to see that our timing was just right. - I was surprised by the amount of women and kids at the show. There had to be a 1:4 ratio going on there for the chicks and a 1:5 ratio for kids. Like kid kids, 6-12 kids, it was crazy. And they were foul mouthed! - Man, I should have expected it, but some wrestling fans aren't really the most... PC... of all people. I love the word "Fag" and "Faggot", if used properly it's hilarious, but one guy just celebrated it. - Fucking lights. For the entire night I had two lights in my eyes, which, added to a small migrane, made the experience kinda torturous. Yes WWE, you actually had a full house and you're proud, still... dim the lights for us in the balcony, k?

Claydude, was that you doing the "C'MON REF!!!" stuff? Seriously, that was hilarious.

I loved Benoit/Jericho. I'd give it ***, and say it was probably the best mat wrestling I've seen out of the WWE. I had low expectations going into it and was figuring the two guys would do their regular shit, but that was far from their regular shit. Really natural mat work, which you don't get outside of Japan, and a few high spots. If it went 20 minutes and was able to work more heat spots (which would have been hard given the dual nature of the crowd) and build towards a hot finish, that could have been a MOTYC. I think they killed a lil bit of the heat with the Hassan segment, but then again, they didn't work that many heat spots or did many high spots to ellicit a strong reaction from the crowd. That's why I think it's a bit erroreous to say the crowd was dead or confused for what Benoit/Jericho did. Why would we go NUTS~! for the mat work? There weren't many moments in that match that required us to pop, so we didn't. We watched the match. I only heard 1 guy yell out "boring", and he was a douche anyways. "Let's go Chris" was a great, fitting, chant.

It wasn't a very good match, just a fun/entertaining match. Guys hit their regular spots, and inbetween those spots was comedy.

Omaplata (or Omoplata) And yes, that tag spot. Edge doing the spit was great, and it all came back around to HHH.

The spot of the night was Benoits OMAPLATA on Jericho. Then it was the tag spot in the corner. THEN it was the freeze sell.

Batista was fabulous in the 6 man. He over-sold everything. Actually, all the heels did with Edge doing the freeze and HHH doing the ridiculous Street Fighter daze spot. They did some really fun stuff and it's cool hearing a crowd laugh at a wrestling event. They need more comedy matches like that on the regular cards to give the shows more variety. JR and the King were watching it from the announce position, I dunno if that was just to watch the match or actually do commentary because they still filmed it... maybe a DVD is coming out with Unseen matches?

Oh, The objective I have with this thread, besides posting pictures that I like but don't have a context to show them, is to get some discussion going on past events. So if you want to talk about the match in the photo, or the event the photo is in, or the fighters in general, go for it. Also, we can have a PICTURE BATTEL where you can challenge the pic with another one that is thematically similar (dropkicks, in this case).

YOUR MMA Pic of the day IS! DROPKICK~! Ebenezer Fontes Braga vs. Daijiro MATSUI, PRIDE 15 (July 29, 2001)

Money and recognition, clearly. If the money is in a higher weight, move up to that weight. Yves may be cutting weight as well, Bang does. At 185 he cut down to 155.
