You are thinking too small! Forget about little old Wrestlemania. Why would Shawn Michaels return there. When instead he could return at.... The Greatest Wrestlemania (Live from The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia $$$$$$)

This really seems to be the perfect description of the company these days. They've made all of the titles meaningless, they run the same shit over and over again and build to nothing, and when something does manage to catch fire, they either immediately squash it because it wasn't what they wanted to get over, they mismanage it so badly that no one cares anymore, or they repeat it so fast and so often that no one ever wants to see it again.

I can't believe Jay Saldi stayed employed for as long as he did. His constant references to other promotions, putting over talent that didn't work for World Class, and just random rambling absolutely didn't seem like something that Fritz would put up with. I have been slowly making my way through the World Class on the Network, and I can't wait for him to be gone.

Ratings systems are inherently flawed as what some might consider the greatest match ever, others might consider a boring piece of shit. If you like it, tell people about it. No need to assign a number or star amount too it. I would solidly give Meltzer's 6 Stars to Harlem Heat vs Public Enemy at Uncensored 97 over Omega/Okada simply based on Dusty Rhodes absolutely losing his shit on commentary while the guys in the ring just wail on each other with whatever "plunder" was available. One was boring to me, and the other has me laughing hysterically every time I watch it. So, too me, which is better? While to someone else, I probably just blasphemed!

What's the start time on the East Coast for this?

Just finished the Star Wars show. It has, in the following order: Mil Mascaras vs Tim Brooks Fritz vs Kabuki Kerry vs Harley Kevin/David vs Ayala/Mustafa Battle Royal for 5k

I wonder why the first 5 minutes of the original War Games is cut off in the War Games collection on the Network. I am almost certain it was intact on the War Games blu-ray they released a while back. Weird.

Any year end wrestling awards that includes a "Most Improved" category, better have Buddy Murphy winning by a considerable margin this year. The difference between the tag team guy in NXT and the guy tearing shit up on 205 Live is amazing.

Seek out the Lucha House Party vs Buddy Murphy/Tony Nese Tornado Tag that main evented 205 Live this week. Really, really good stuff.

This is not the place to ask people to upload or link you to copyrighted matches. Besides, I get the feeling you would probably enjoy Volk Han matches a lot more.

I read somewhere this morning that advertisements shown in the arena during Takeover had Michelle McUndertaker advertised as being part of the show as well.

Hideo Itami retweeted the news about Aleister Black being attacked with the words "Parking Lot Unsafe" added. I'm sure creative didn't remember that, but a hilarious throwback to continuity by Kenta!

If anyone hasn't seen this yet, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins are good dudes. https://twitter.com/Fileana2/status/1026294723697369088?s=09

It goes up on YouTube every week.

If he tightened up his strikes a bit (which I figure is him afraid of hurting people) he would be damn near perfect for a guy with his experience level. Very impressed with him so far.

Don't forget the shining beacon of class that Sabu has been on Twitter as well.

Mexico has Fenix, Bandido, and Flamita off the top of my head all under 28 years old who are fantastic, and I am sure many others.

The last PPV they had was the Batista Rumble, I think they are still pissed off

The fucking crowd counting down like this is the Rumble and making the buzzer noise is fucking hilarious...

The game comes with a roster of 30 generic wrestlers. I believe there will be 30 NJPW wrestlers in the initial release, with more supposedly to come with the Junior DLC. Then on Steam you can find virtually anyone, and your roster size is only limited by your hard drive (supposedly, though the 5000 limit thing I posted above will likely come before you fill your hard drive!)

It really isn't super graphics intensive or a resources hog, as long as you aren't trying to stream it or anything. My old laptop ran it just fine and it was a piece of shit. Two things people should keep in mind though... 1) Installing the mods (while they are awesome) can and does cause crashes, which can erase your save file. 2) Having above 5000 CAW's (I know, it seems insane to me too, but people do it!) can cause the opening screen where it loads all of your content to take several days each time you turn the game on. It doesn't always happen when you have that many edits, but 5k seems to be the magic number when it starts randomly happening to people.

There is a Jimmy Golden that has Bunkhouse Buck as it's 4th attire, but it isn't very good. If you are looking for edits, may I make the following suggestions.... Captain Howdy has probably the best looking classic edits you will find covering the Mid 80's - the Mid 90's (I assume he will get around to Bunkhouse Buck eventually. He made Yoshi Kwan for fuck's sake!!) The Avenger3 has a nice mix of modern indy dudes, current WWE and TNA guys, and some other shit tossed in for fun. Senator's Workshop has a link to both his wrestling edits which encompass a ton of era's and his MMA and Boxing edits which are quite frankly amazing, especially if you are a boxing fan, cause this guy has done a TON of research. and lastly, DJKM77 and his metric shit ton of edits. These are not the highest quality in the looks division, but they sim well and he has everyone from Stanislaus Zbyszko to Barry Horowitz

Yes. Basic gameplay remains the same. At least for now. I don't know if the New Japan update and console release will bring about changes. They are promising an update along with that, but it seems to just be in the User Interface.

If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to stream some matches on Twitch if you want to see what the game has to offer. I've made over 70 caw's myself, most of which are set for a more modern style (though they are personal creations, not actual wrestlers) and I can download virtually anyone if there are requests.

Beat up and read numerous times over, I still have all 12 issues in my collection! Great book.
