Ring of Honor Wrestling
I also liked the show show on Wednesday night. Lethal/Hanson and even Briscoe/Page weren't bad. The commentary during Brutal Bob/Cheeseburger was atrocious though. They were having a decent match but Corino and Kelly were treating it like that 1999 WCW luchador hardcore match. The finish really put it over the top.

WWE TV 8/24-8/30
I like how NXT put her with Crowe this weekend giving what happened to his girl. That's a funny thing from whoever is booking NXT house shows. Maybe she'll get a deal in TNA thanks to the Harris twins?

[1999-11-13-KAW] Terry Golden promo
Yeah Terry Golden is very unlikeable. Of course, since he's the owner/promoter, he makes himself top babyface. He again says a lot of words that don't really mean anything. Talking about Dundee and Randy Hales and Power Pro. He also says Ass a lot to make himself look like a tough guy. He puts over Bull Pain as his best friend but Bull dodn't even drop the KAW title to Terry, Terry had Motley Cruz do it for him.

[1999-11-13-OVW-TV] Scotty Sabre & Danica vs Sean Casey (Handicap Match)
Casey is too distracted by Danica that he runs into a michinoku driver by Sabre. None of these 3 look particularly good.

[1999-11-11-WWF-Smackdown] Funeral for Big Show's father
I wouldn't call Bossman a great heel but this was hilarious. He played it so straight for something so ridiculous I got to admire that. Show took a Lawler type bump on that car.

[1999-11-09-BattlARTS] Alexander Otsuka vs Mitsuhiro Matsunaga
This is a weird match to have in Battlarts. Otsuka bleeds a lot and Matsunaga even throws a fireball. Didn't Matsunaga do a karate gimmick before he became the deathmatch prince?

El Mesias/Ricky Banderas//Mil Muertes
I remember liking his matches with guys like Slash Venom, Ray Gonzalez and even Vampiro in IWA PR. The Vampiro matches are closer to the LA Park matches with blood and weapons. I haven't seen those matches in years so they might not hold up. Banderas won't be on my list but he's not as awful as he has been in AAA most of the time.

Thoughts on various lucha matches
Abismo Negro/Paranoia/Nikozuna vs. Shocker/La Parka (AAA)/Vampiro Canadiense AAA October 2005 This took place in front of a rabid crowd in what looked like a concert place in Mexicali. Nikozuna is the former Tonga Kid doing a Rikishi gimmick mixed with Yokozuna. He had to be about 350 pounds here. Even bigger than Rikishi when he was around in 2004. Paranoia is a big jacked foreigner guy who I thought was Strongman Anderson but he had a hideous back tat so it wasn't him. The match was disappointing as it was all rudos going after Parka as Shocker turned on Vamp about 2 minutes into the match. Konnan who had interfered in every match up to this point comes down and the place goes nuts throwing shit at him. Funny moment happens as Gran Apache channels Jerry Lawler by doing a run in wearing only a towel and soap all over him.

Who are the stars five years from now?
Chad Gable: I predict he will have a bigger career than Angle. Just an incredible real athlete with huge potential. Apollo Crews: He has all the size and charisma that Vince likes. He might be a little too nice though. Those are the two guys in developmental that I think have big time potential to be main eventers. Especially Gable.

NXT TakeOver Brooklyn
Will, did you miss where Sasha teamed with Charlotte just about a month or so ago vs Dana and Emma on NXT tv? She was almost a babyface after the Becky match till the Bayley feud. Rewatched most of the show this morning. Joe/Corbin got better on second viewing. That was easily Joe's best match in NXT.

This was pretty anticlimatic. Someone throws something at HHH and he gives the camera the finger. Classy.

If they weren't in Penn, i would have though that was Terry Golden that talked trash to the APA. Fun gimmick though.

I like Mankind keeping Al from saying head. Why are they still doing the Walmart gimmick?

This is right up there with Al Wilson and Andy Kaufman as my favorite wrestling exploitation death angles. Bossman's eulogy was beautiful.

Test has Shane's full support. Not sure why Michael asked that since Shane already said this.
