I am one happy wrestling nerd.
Joebashi? Damn you Jingus for making that name. Misawa/Joe wasn't horrible but it wasn't great. Misawa shouldn't be wrestling anymore. Or at least full time anymore.

Sleazier buriness: Pro Wrestling or Porn?
Who said being sleazy was a bad thing? The Sleazier the better I say.

Comments that don't warrant a thread
So i'm surprised with no mention of Moolah's death on here. Reading the report on the observer site I wonder, How many former women wrestlers lived in that house with Moolah?

Sleazier buriness: Pro Wrestling or Porn?
They are both sleazy as hell. In porn, it's been said that close to 100% of the performers have Herpes and other Sexual transmited diseases. Both have series Drug and mental problems as you have to be on drugs or have something screwed with your mind to join. And about the AIDS thing, There are still risks about it as companies are doing more and more porn in Brazil where almost everyone has some sort of HIV/AIDS disease. So Overall, I say porn has the edge. Both have people killing kids.

Is there anyone better mic wise right now than Santino Morrella? He sucks in the ring but man is he entertaining.

Brock Lesner to UFC
So tonight at the UFC PPV, Brock was introduced as the newest member of the UFC roster. I guess this is something. I guess he will be a heavyweight and if he is, I hope he destroys Tim Sylvia. God that guy sucks.

Anyone have any INSIDER NEWZ on the WON HOF?
I bet most people that vote for these awards know who Dr. Wagner Sr. is or how good he was. Paco got more votes because he's head of CMLL like you said and there was a time when CMLL was good and exciting. Of course that was almost 20 years ago and I don't think Paco was the owner back then. And even though Paco hates Konnan, I bet Konnan voted him in if he has a vote.

DVD #1: Bret Hart vs 1-2-3 Kid
I've got this match on tape but it's edited for Coliseum Video and has Stan Lane and Gorilla announcing. This is a much better version and I still love this match. Had no idea there was a false finish in it.

The Pro Wrestling Only DVD Club
Ya I think you can get the previous DVD's. It would be $10 now wouldn't it Loss? For match listings, just check out the match discussion thread. Every match is there.

Oh man, WWE is possibly fucked now
He's married to the bosses daughter. He will do whatever he wants and i've grown to accept it. Expecting anything other than that is foolish.

The ROH PPV
I don't watch much ROH but I did watch this. Overall it was pretty good. I'll have to rewatch the Davey Richards, BJ Whitmer and Albright Morshima matches latter. I really could care less about either of them because I watched this for the Sydal and Briscoes matches. Sydal/Claudio was a good match. Claudio is amazing and I'm shocked he's not in the WWE right now. I know they tried getting him in but it didn't work out. Sydal is a crazy spot machine and I'm not usually into that. Kinda reminds me of Laredo Kid a little bit. I didn't know ROH did many angles but the one after the match was good. I'm a big fan of Sweeney and he made this along with Bobby Dempsey. Him in the fat suit with Tank ripping him was funny. I don't get why Sydal is joining Sweet and Sour if he's leaving ROH? Briscoes/Steen and Generico wasn't bad but wasn't great either. I've seen some of Steen and haven't been that impressed. Same thing with Generico. It started off good with some good face/heel stuff but turned into a move fest. It was something else. Briscoes are crazy and Steen looked good here. But some of the moves were crazy and should not have been kicked out of. Especially Steen's finisher. I've seen the Nigel/Danielson match from Britain and thought it was great. I had high expectations for this match and it delivered. It was way different that the other matches and paced nicely. Like Tom said, this is what you watch ROH for. These two have great chemistry together. This match proved why Danielson is the best in the company. The head butts were sick and brutal. And the finish was nice too. One of the things I was dreading before watching this was the commentary and the crowd. I usually can't stand both of these in ROH. Prazak and the other guy were alright. Way better than the old days with Gabe. Also the crowd didn't bother me as much as it usually does. Althought Prazak selling the Sydal heel turn was god awful.

DVD #2: Bret Hart vs Yokozuna
Am I wrong for saying I feel Yoko is Bret's best opponent overall? I thought they always had good matches together and this is no different. When Yoko was in his prime, He could bump like no other big man. The finish is typical WWF cage matches but that doesn't matter. Good match and one of my favorites on the DVD besides Morton/Lawler. And Johnny Polo/Gorilla as a duo was great. Raven was seriously underrated as an announcer. He would be perfect for TNA.

Comments that don't warrant a thread
So I've been reading some old Wrestling Observers from 2004 and they are talking about Dynamite Kid's book. Apparently it's one of the best wrestling books out there. I'm wondering, 1. Is that true? and 2: Where can I get it? I'm guessing online through Amazon right?

WWE to pay for drug rehab for all current and former contracted talent
Wasn't Angle on the Signature steriod list? If they didn't take the title off of him then, they won't now.

Oh man, WWE is possibly fucked now
I'm willing to bet Punk is on something to. Of course I think eveyone is on something so who am I to judge.
-
Oh man, WWE is possibly fucked now
Well of course it is but people want to beileve "like Punk", Cena is the only one clean in WWE. That's bullshit.
-
Oh man, WWE is possibly fucked now
And even funnier is some people cheering Kennedy for taking Cena out. I wonder how they will feel once HHH gets the title again?

DVD #2: Ricky Steamboat - What A Family Man! Part 1
Depite the bad acting by the women and Missy Hyatt's screw up, This was great. I think this is an example of the Crowd making something good as they went nuts the whole time. And all in front of the lead singer of Alabama for god sakes.

DVD #2: El Hijo del Santo, Scorpio Jr & Bestia Salvaje vs Negro Casas, El Dandy & Hector Garza
Man this makes me want to see Rudo Santo vs big star Tecnico Mistico in CMLL right now. Rudo Santo was so sureal cause you never thought it would happen. Question Loss, Why didn't you include the Santo as Felino angle? That's what kickstarted this feud and would have been great on here.
-
DVD #2: Jerry Lawler vs Ricky Morton
This is a perfect way to set up a future star. Years later, Paul E would do something like it with Mikey Whipwreck and the Sandman. Without Lance Russell selling it like a mad man, I don't think I would have liked this angle as much as I did.

DVD #2: Ricky Steamboat - What A Family Man! Part 2
I never knew that WCW had a Prime Time wrestling type segment. This wasn't as crazy as Part 1 but it was good. The crowd went nuts for Steamboat.
