Who Booked This? The Podcast Thread
Thank you so much for the comment and for giving out some info. How do you pronounce Villanos properly? Glad you enjoyed it, our best episode is probably Hogan-Giant, so might want to start there. Wrestling should not only be about great stuff, the crap is needed too. Any requests?

Greatest Match Ever Project
Basically we don't want people to just come in and vote for a match and we have no reason why anyone would vote for it. By the way, I'm back looking at and watching stuff for this project. My personal life kind of got in the way a few weeks after we launched the project, my apologies.

GAEA Wrestling
The Crush Girls (Lioness Asuka and Chigusa Nagayo) Lioness Asuka and Chigusa Nagayo are the reasons that GAEA Wrestling exists and on such a big stage on Fuji TV. This tag team is who Graham Stevens saw live in Japan and was so blown away, he knew that everybody had to see them. Asuka and Nagayo debuted in 1980 after attending the same training camp. Amazing talents from the beginning, they formed a tag team in 1985 and have quickly became the top stars in Japan, outside of JWA. Recently they released a pop song that is currently a top ten hit in Japan. Although they are great technical wrestlers, they have been known to mix it up in brawls as well. They are known as this great team, but individually they are two of the top wrestlers in the world and both look to become the first WWA Champion at the tournament on the debut show of GAEA Wrestling.

1983 Project General Chatter Thread
I started reading your threads, I will leave comments later on, but it will take me time to figure out what's going on. Years of booking I have missed.

July 1986 Freelancers Booking Thread
Please take the women off the list, they should be added to free agency, once I get my full roster up.

Dave Meltzer stuff
Most people who do a lot of reviews pretty quickly find out that the ratings are the least important part of the review, hence why a lot of the most prolific reviewers here forego the ratings entirely.. Reviews give us a chance to analyse why guys would choose to work in a particular way and what makes a match great (or not so great), and they also serve as a memento of how a match made you feel on a particular viewing. Even the people who do rate everything generally do so just to help organize their thoughts rather than viewing it as some be-all-end-all. When I look at ratings it's generally to see what's worth viewing, and I generally don't care too much about how people rate stuff I've already seen recently. I don't think anyone here watches just to give ratings. Funny enough, most of the readers of said articles skip all the writing part and move right into the rating and get annoyed if there is no ratings.

WWE NXT UK announced
I think one day the plan is to makes the brands not Raw and SD, but WWE and NXT. With a true rivalry between them. It's a slow build, for sure, but one day after Vince is gone.

WWE NXT UK announced
They announced two days of TV tapings, so it looks like a weekly show.

GAEA Wrestling
Now that the debut show is complete, it's time to meet the roster! The Jumping Bomb Angels (Itsuki Yamazaki and Noriyo Tateno) Formed earlier this year, after a classic series of matches against each other, The Jumping Bomb Angels had tremendous chemistry from day one. From the same training class, these two are some of the hottest young high flyers in wrestling today. They have brought new moves that very few have seen, including missile dropkicks and an exciting array of suplexes. They have been called The Rockers of Japan. After years on the indies scene, after debuting in 1981, The Angels are ready to make their mark on a bigger scale on Fuji TV. A set of tag team titles will be added to GAEA in the near future and The Angels are a top contenders for those future titles. Check them in action on the "First Memorial Gong Show" taking on the American tag team of The Glamour Girls. A match that could steal the show.

Saturday Night's Main Event Appreciation
These were a little short and on the low end of their series. The answer is probably Savage-Bret from '87. That's certainly what placed highest in the DVDVR WWF poll back in the day. Forgot about that one, yes. That's the best match.

Saturday Night's Main Event Appreciation
I was disappointed in their series. I think the Busters-Demolition series is the best on SNME. Overall best match may go to Tito-Perfect though.

Sano may be wearing really skimpy tights in this one.

Dave Meltzer stuff
If he broke the system with Ciampa & Gargano, less people would complain about him breaking the system (and bitch about the 1989 argument, which indeed reeks of bullshit on Meltz part, but like I said, it really doesn't matter at all in the grand scheme of things because the system is bullshit to begin with). I'm absolutely convinced of this. So, there is no point of discussing this then. You are convinced and there is no way to actually prove your point, so let's move on I guess.

Dave Meltzer stuff
So why make the statements you made? The issue is the going over the 5 stars, it's not him not praising WWE enough.

The Memorial First Gong just got bigger as the gentlemen of wrestling are making an appearance. On the card you will see the JWA stand out performer Naoki Sano taking on British superstar "Rollerball" Mark Rocco. A dream match for men's wrestling fans!

Dave Meltzer stuff
You know this is bullshit for the majority of people, right? If he did the same over praising of NJPW, but kept all those matches at 5 stars then nobody would complain about him breaking the system. Come on, people were already complaining about Meltz "overpraising" NJPW way before Omega/Okada cracked the system. Him making stars rain (hey, he's the Starrainmaker !) only made it worst. But the system means nothing to begin with. It's like rating movies, albums, hotels, sex partners, whatever... It's complete bullshit. It means nothing. It's like people crying over not getting the validation of a higher authority. Really, Meltz haters act like disgruntled children who want their daddy to tell them they really are proud of them. And they actually give him and his ratings even more importance by bitching all the time about it. Like I said, major insecurity issues. And as far as NJ (or ROH) announcers using that as a selling point, well, it's pro-wrestling. It bears no more actual value than the old PWI "Best rookie of the year" you'd hear about on NWA TV. Yeah, if that is what you think you don't understand the majority of the reasons people are talking about.

Most of us know Dave's tastes and I know I like what he does, but it's the taking a system out of 5 and increasing it that is ridiculous. Comparing it to the richter scale is insanity.

Seems like it, my dad didn't like wrestling but taped every SNME for me. Used to tape GLOW for my sister before then too.
