I wanted to add to my previous post. This is also really good for companies because it allows them to bring in more fans. I wouldn't be able to sell someone on following Chikara and having to shell out money for DVDs every month but they would put that $7 down for the streaming service. Same with me and Stardom. I wouldn't spend the money on DVDs but I check them out for the $4.99 a month. It's fan friendly and if companies levered it right, they could probably get more fans coming to shows. Reducing the barrier of entry for fans money wise is a good thing for everyone.

I think it's great. My house isn't cluttered with DVDs anymore and for the price of buying those 3 or 4 DVDs a month for 2 promotions, I can subscribe to the streaming services of maybe 6-8 promotions depending on price. And when hockey season comes along I can cut down on my subs and just catch up during the summer when I have less to watch.

Do a less shitty job watching wrestling this year.

I really like the core concept of the AWF. I think it was a cool idea. Hiring a bunch of guys past their primes and then doing nothing but squash matches was not the way to make that concept work.

Randy Savage vs. Rick Steiner from the 2000 Dome Show. It's one of my favorite matches to pull out for random people to get a laugh from.

Speculation mostly. I think she's going to retire after getting absolutely crushed like that.

Castle is still on that early? Really how is he not the main attraction of the promotion yet? It's been over a year that it's been obvious he should be in that spot. Because the company is run by dumb people?

Yeah, Plex will cost you a few dollars but it's a one time fee.

I want to throw out Plex. It allows you to watch video files on your PC on your TV.

Dixie might be the ultimate wrestling carny ever.

Eh... Their TV is frustrating as fuck to follow. They'll be getting into a good groove heading into a big show and then you have to deal with a month or two of old content.

I think it's too early to tell. A year ago the Divas Revolution looked like a mistake and look at it now. I think they're still finding their footing and it could turn out okay. My only real question is why they put the belt on TJP. He's a little bland to build a division around.

I think they're #5 or #6 based off attendance.

Ric Flair vs. Keiji Mutoh from the 1995 G1.

Brock had also won a fight before fighting in the UFC.

Brock was the NCAA Champion, and he probably wouldn't be a UFC caliber fighter if he wasn't fighting in the worst division in the sport. The top 5 or so heavyweight mixed martial artists are legitimately great fighters, everyone else in the division has huge gaping holes in their game. I'd be willing to bet Jon Jones, Daniel Cormier, and Anthony Johnson would be just as successful, if not more successful at heavyweight as they are at light heavyweight. I think Brock would do okay if he was smaller. He's just a freak of nature and I think it's a little unfair as a comparison. Brock had a great background for MMA and he could cover up his rough spots with pure power and athletic ability. Punk really isn't very athletic so he had nothing to fall back on to cover his weaknesses.

Brock made a mistake and left his arm exposed after looking like a competent fighter.

He didn't get knocked out in 10 seconds is about the best thing you can say for him.

I expected him to lose quickly but that was just a pathetic showing. I have a few friends that train and do amateur fights as a hobby and I'm pretty sure they would have owned him in a similar fashion.

This. It isn't realistic if things exist in a vacuum. Everything should effect everything.

Yeah but then you're back to outside talent dominating which is already pissing off your fanbase.

I think this will last as long as the No. 1 Contender Trophy did. Their roster is far too small and they don't have enough compelling combos to keep it going.

ADR is one of those guys I could never see wrestle again and be totally content with my life.

I didn't see him but my 3DS Street Passed with ACH in the airport this morning.

New Nightmare is okay though you aren't missing much.
