Wahoos Leg

I pretty much watch all WWE programming on DVR. It's become almost Pavlovian in that I'll reach for the remote to fast-forward through the commercials when a guy is thrown to the floor. This.

The frustrating part for me is WWE's attempt to McMahonitize wrestling history--and the concern that soon the only people that will know or care that wasn't the way it was will be nerds like us. Of course, history has always been written by the winners, so...

I wouldn't have fired her for it, but the wrestling world could do with a lot more kayfabe.

That is fantastic.

Wait, wait, wait, we're all ignoring the biggest revelation in these past few posts. PORKCHOP CASH still wrestles?!?!

And just think, fellas, his vote counts just as much as yours does!

Anyone have a date on the Wise show / newspaper article in question?

I'd love to see Miz just proclaim he was holding onto his shot until WrestleMania. Would provide a nice ongoing storyline for the next eight months. Both ladder matches were good. I thought Raw's was superior. Loved the erektor set from hell that Morrison used, that you mentioned. I thought the main event was boring and plodding, and as I posted elsewhere, I see no point in a match between two guys embroiled in a feud for the primary title in a steel cage with no blood.

Pretty sure this was meant as satire. Poorly written satire, but satire nonetheless.

I'm not sure who's worse. I think Babinsack, because you can tell by his writing style he thinks he is writing something complex and thoughtful. Instead, it comes out as the gibberish of a limited mind with barely functional writing skills.

As someone who also likes some fast-paced, spotfests, I must agree that Arn is superior to AJ.

On the one hand, the thought Todd is paid to write horrible Raw recaps horrifies me. The other part of me wants to apply because I know I can do a better job than him standing on my head and drunk off my ass.

It's all about juking the stats

Those media outlets accept articles written in crayon? Who knew?

These are fascinating. Thanks for doing this, Loss.

I get what you're saying but you at least saw Hogan and Flair get punked out in angles. Tiger Mask just comes off as bulletproof.

See, I just think it makes him come across as a no-selling bastard. He reminds me some of the characters I ran across when I used to do e-wrestling, whose movesets consisted of all this completely illogical flippy offense and actually incorporated the no-selling or "never submitting" or what have you into their characters. I've not watched 4/21/83 but I really disliked the match from 1982 that won the WO match of the year award. My least favorite of their 3 singles encounters in 1981 and 1982 included on the set.

I brought this up on DVDVR but didn't receive much of a response. Maybe we're just catching the highlights, but three years into the New Japan set I'm rather shocked at how well Inoki, Fujinami and Tiger Mask have been protected. Thus far, Fujinami's only been beaten twice--once in the first fall of the set-opening tag match and again in the 1981 MSG Tag League Finals, with Andre pinning him. Inoki has only lost once, to Hansen by countout. Tiger Mask, with the 4/21/83 match against Dynamite still to go, has yet lose a match of any sort. Though he was part of a double countout against El Canek and a double DQ in the tag match with Hoshino against Hamada and Kobayashi. My question is, were these guys really that bulletproof? Or are there matches out there where they did job that just didn't make the cut? Just makes me shake my head when I hear people bitching about how guys are protected in the modern-day scene.

This week's Todd Martin idiocy, c/o the Raw report. No, dumbass, he tipped his hat to Michaels and then left. Heaven forbid someone writing a report that's supposed to detail what happened on Raw actually watch the freakin show.
