Mad Dog

He got outclassed by a can. I know some guys that do amateur MMA as a side hobby. Maybe fight like twice a year that would probably destroy Punk. They might as well start the Punk Bum Fight series at this point.

Flair and Anderson vs. Mongo and Greene from GAB 96 is a really fun match. The crowd heat helps it a lot but it's a really smartly worked match.

I really miss the variety you got on those WCW PPVs in that 96-98 era. They're super easy to sit through because so many styles pop up. Bischoff really doesn't get the credit he deserves for the WCW boom.

How have you not seen Aladdin?!?!

It consistently amazes me that New Japan will start to lose me with their direction and then pull me back in with a show like this. Omega and Jericho as champions open so many doors for potential going forward. I'm really hoping we get Omega/Naito for Wrestle Kingdom.

No, I think by about 7 that night the details were starting to filter in. And WWE would have been ahead of the curve as far as information goes. There were enough red flags out there that they shouldn't have done it. It was a really stupid decision.

I told my wife who isn't a hardcore fan or anything. She just watches some PPVs with me. Her exact words "What? Why?" with a horrified look on her face.

Yeah, the choice they made really is the wrong one. They would have been better off not mentioning it at all. If things get cleared up and he wasn't responsible, you can do the tribute later and no one cares.

There's two PPV chances for crowds to shit all over Roman to get this altered.

And they will chicken out last minute and have him job again.

It's also amazing the difference six months made with DDP. He doesn't feel like a star here. He comes off as a try hard. Good worker but he feels forgettable.

I really enjoyed Vicious and Delicious as a tag team. More than I ever liked Steiner and Bagwell together. I think he surprises me sometimes because he got so bad at points after the neck injury.

I hope he wins the title in front of an empty arena at Summerslam.

Going to finally get Roman over this time...

New LAX vs. OG LAX might be the most excited I've gotten for a feud so far in 2018.

DDP vs. Bagwell at Great American Bash 1996 was surprisingly fun.

My memory could be wrong but I think there were enough facts out there by the time Raw went on the air that they shouldn't have done the tribute.

They have shirts in Hot Topic and just sold out a 10,000 seat arena for a show and probably underestimated the draw. They are way bigger than Jim Cornette is.

When a lot of that stuff came out they were already bigger stars than Cornette. The initial beef they had with him was that he convinced them to sign with RoH and then didn't us them consistently which cost them money.

I think that one also needs the list of injuries sustained to be read off.

That one predates Russo.

Volk Han is only a 7 out of 10 on the Volk Han scale of life.

Bucks are good shit talkers if you catch them on camera. Their New Japan work is also very different from what you see in RoH. And even then there have been some really good matches this year where they have sold their asses off in matches.

I took my niece and her friend to an anime convention this weekend. Sadly missed the Mega Championship Wrestling show but I did watch an 80 year couple eagerly walking into a room for the robot fights today.

Idiots Guide to Pro Wrestling was my first real exposure to wrestling history. I know that book had it's problems but it was fascinating to me at the time. I also love games like Legends of Wrestling and the wrestlers it's given me exposure to like William Muldoon.
