The same day that Eddie shoots on the USWA, Paul E. shoots on WCW? Coincidence?
-
-
This was awesome. Eddie shows up and "shoots" on USWA, with the Global Title, and compares Guy Coffee and Eddie Marlin to the House Banking scandal.
-
Awesome angry promo from Embry, going through the names the Moondogs have beaten up and run out of Memphis. Richard Lee is so obnoxious that he's great.

This was a fun match. Sarge took a couple of nice bumps, considering his age. This was supposed to be a "a new and improved" shock stick, but I don't think it was seen again after this. The blown slingshot spot actually worked for me, only because of the size difference, so it made sense that a smaller guy like Flair couldn't get him over for it.

This is such a smart match, from a wrestling perspective. Albright and Takada are both smart enough to know what they need to do to win. Gary needs keep with what had been working for him, namely his suplexes, and not get into a striking match. Takada needs to get Gary on the ground and take out his arms (just look at the size of Gary's legs). They way they put it together is excellent. Takada seems to finally be presented with a real challenge to his throne, and Gary had mowed down everyone in his path, but he's not in for a walk in the park.

More info from Tabe, per his history of UWFI on Kevin Wilson's 'Puroresu Central' website. From UWFI Trainer Pat McCarthy: "The Berbick fight? No rules were ever changed -- that guy just never wanted to listen", McCarthy says. "The rules were always going to be UWFI rules --- it was one of our typical mixed bouts."

I dug this a ton. It's really clear here that Misawa is the heir apparent, and that he's got it in him to beat Hansen. I really liked the arm work from Misawa. All Japan never really pushed submission finishes in big matches, so it was cool to see him trying to beat Hansen with a Fujiwara armbar. Stan's selling here was phenomenal, there's no way that Brody would have put Misawa over this way.

I saw the Rhaka Kahn comments. When I saw the post about her going "Biblical" I thought she really went off on her, I didn't think it was literal.
-
Thought the same. However it hasn't earned her friends. Rhaka Khan replied and went biblical while Reby Sky essentially called her a hard up drug addict. Links? Quotes?

Jerry Lawler is one of the best.

So, I got my hands on that MSG show. I'm assuming that either Brody hadn't become Brody yet (aka the giant asshole prick) or he was just smart enough to know better than to miss off Vince and/or Andre. Brody and Andre only have a few brief exchanges, but Brody does a respectable job of putting him over, even later in the match when he winds up in the babyface corner and Andre pelts him with the forearm shot. Like Victory mentioned, their most notable spot is the bearhug, which Brody is really animated about selling. It's not just Andre either, when Strongbow starts doing his war dance, Brody backs up and is leery of getting close.

You forgot about Dixie Carter going in, after she thought about it for a bit.

Does Xcite run anywhere other than the American Legion? I can't imagine 350 in that tiny building. I've been there for packed 2CW shows, and it's nigh impossible to move, especially with the bar being right there at ringside. I still think 2CW is nuts for putting their next iPPV in that arena, with the rowdy drunk crowd and the tiny arena.

The Kong/Kharma Youshoot is a fun waste of ninety minutes. It's clear that she's enjoying herself, which makes it fun to watch. But, she's pretty clearly trying to be diplomatic, so as to get her WWE gig back (although it's not nearly as bad as Chyna ducking almost every question). She dishes some good dirt on TNA and Dixie Carter, including saying that TNA is the only fed that's ever stiffed her on a payday.
-
John, what kind of seats did you and Dave have for the G1 shows? Would you be visible in the crowd on any of the taped cards?
-
No surprise there, seeing as it's Dragon Gate In all seriousness though, I went with a busload of guys to Philly for the NJPW shows a couple years back and the bus trip was epic.

There are few things as funny as when little kids quote wrestling stuff or say catchphrases. My little one started doing Bryan's Yes Yes Yes and the wife and I died laughing.

I haven't been one in almost a year, 2CW on 8/4 with an appearance by DDP, and Kevin Steen vs. Eddie Edwards, and Tomoasso Ciamba vs. Sami Callihan.
