How much wrestling was on TV when *you* were a kid?
As a child in Wales with satellite TV it was an obscene amount. I'll go from ages 4-16, 1989 to 2001. S4C - Reslo My ITV region until Christmas 95 - WCW Sky - WWF, some WCW in 1991 Channel 5 after July 99- WCW Worldwide Channel 4 2000-01- WWF Heat, 4 PPVs a year TNT - WCW Nitro and Thunder Eurosport - WWF pre 1992, NJPW, Flesh Gorden's promotion. Screensport - USWA, AWA, GWF, more I've forgotten. Lifestyle - GLOW , old WCCW tapes Granada Men and Motors - LPWA Bravo - ECW DSF - as discussed above by Robert S Galavision - AAA There's probably a load I've missed too.

WWE TV 07/08 - 07/14 Copa America was a romp and a half but the National Team still sucks
I've said this for weeks. One of the best things WWE can do is have Alexa Bliss smack Bayley in her gob and be Cross' actual friend, they've done such a bad job of it. They even can't book Lennie/George - Boo Radley properly.

Again Bayley comes off like a massive dickhead next to Cross.

WWE TV 7/1 - 7/7 The Return of the Return of Heyman and Bischoff
Otis is money. Likable, charismatic, athletic, Charismatic, likable, can do weird feats of strength, charismatic, likable and can work. He's like Big E but won't be Tom Robinson in a promoter's Bob Ewell eyes

But watching this match, imagine the Rowan Otis could be.

Rowan has always been ace. He's perfect muscle. After nearly melted a plastic mask to his face during an inferno match like an idiot he's been a pretty great hoss. Doesn't get enough respect.

I didn't know a shit combination of Sean O'Haire and a goth 17 year old in 2001 (essentially Kevin thorn) was possible until I saw Alistair Black.

There was a middle finger from Kofi hidden by Joe's head. And there's friction amongst heels working together. Its hardly the Hugh Morrus going through a wall, Francine turning heel, The Public Enemy singing backstage and The Triple Threat forming we saw last night though.

That's true. Every friendship must be a swerve unfortunately

Nikki Cross is so damned likable. Also hoping this leads to a face turn for Bliss. Bayley came off as a right shit house talking to Cross like she's an idiot. Same as Carmella last night.

Comments that don't warrant a thread - Part 4

Worst Professional Wrestler Ever?
Yeah, I'm on about Al Green, not Al Greene. That's why I said Al Green. He was absolutely fucking dire, seriously. Harris Brpther levels bad if not worse.

U.K. promoters lifting names from U.S. stars - any go the opposite direction?
There was a Doctor Death in the UK in the 60s, if that's worth anything.

Dave Meltzer stuff
Yeah, but for me the key he was on about her being attractive, sexualising her. Commenting on her looks rather than her look, if you get me.

[1998-06-27-WWF-Shotgun Saturday Night] Terry Funk & Bradshaw & Dustin Rhodes vs Too Much & Jerry Lawler
From an epsiode of Shotgun taped in deepest darkest Texas, the WWF throw us a C-Show classic as Texas takes on Tennessee in a six man. If I can call this match one thing, it's just fun. They aren't reinventing the wheel, they aren't doing anything out of the ordinary, but it's possibly the best sub-10 minute match I've seen. Everything hits. From the call backs to Funk vs Lawler, to Dustin Runnels playing firey babyface instead of the religous heel he was on TV, to Too Much stooging everywhere, and Bradshaw looking probably the most badass he ever has as Too Much fly around for him. Everything works. A fantastic bout. Massively recommended
