Grimmas

Any word on a Switch release? I know there was an interview with someone involved saying it would be ideal on the Switch, but I haven't seen anything official.

Rumour is Jon Jones for Brock to fight.

Why would we? WM6 didn't do great numbers.

Well that gets us to the core question that we have got to address: Should this Hall of Fame be a place for revisionism to happen? Yes or No? I think that is up to the individual. There are a few that feel wrestling is for that moment, while others feel it should be judged as any other art.

Can anyone watch the April 1990 SNME the one with Harts vs Rockers? Every time I try it skips to the next show automatically.

Part of the WON HOF discussion isn't about whether Steve Williams is Japanese. If it is this colors that process in an entirely new way. In the WON people are grouped with others that are similar in order to get fair comparisons. What the person decides make a HOFer is up to the voter. This system is the same, just instead of area it's just category A and B. If we removed the titles to the regions and just said this is region A and this is region B would that work?

The way to look at it is not as importance and quality categories, but more like the WON as a region. Even though Steve Williams is in the Japan region, you don't just count his work in Japan, you count his Mid South and WCW work too.

I forgot how much I was against separating the two categories at first.

That's a valid point and we will discuss that. One of our first model had no regions at all. There was a complaint that people didn't want to debate an Andre-Hogan vs a Chono-Mutoh match, for example.

Whats WWE's obsession with India? I mean they have a tour but that doesnt warrant to giving a Indian star the WWE Title. It's just so very very dumb to assume that WWE fans in India need to see an Indian wrestler on top in order to be interested. It's like NJPW thinking that putting Billy Gun on their card will draw more American eyeballs. Nope! That's not what the vast majority of American NJPW fans want to see. NJPW fans want to see NJPW wrestlers fighting the NJPW style. WWE fans want to see WWE wrestlers, plain and simple. They would draw huge crowds in India with or without Jinder, or any Indo-Canadians, on the card, believe me. No idea why so many promoters struggle with that basic concept. What makes it even more stupid is that Jinder is a heel. If they really wanted to appeal to the Indian market, than Jinder should be a babyface champion ala Bruno or Pedro.

or time too.

Criteria is vague still. If something isn't a draw, you don't think it belongs in, you don't vote for it. The problem when you start to separate by area is it gets really messy. You have shit like Puerto Rico, England, India, or whatever all crammed together or really tiny regions where it's super easy to get in. Of course we are open to change and for suggestions.

I hope people still have interest in this. Earlier this year, I contacted Chad about getting this project off the ground. Since he was too busy, he gave me the go ahead to help get it running. Since January, Elliott, CapitalTTruth, and myself have been debating rules, formats, and nominations. We have got input from many smart people to make sure it all makes sense and I am happy to announce here, that we are ready to put this thing out in the fall of this year! We have our set of nominations, but we won't release those yet. Maybe this thread can sway us? One thing we did decide is that a match has to be 25 years old to be nominated. That puts us at matches that are 1992 or earlier for the first year. Yes, the plan is for it to be a yearly thing like the WON HOF. It will have the same format, 60% get in, 15% to stay on the list (or whatever WON uses). The big discussion point was on format of regions. We argued that for months, until we found a system we are pretty happy with. Region A: Matches not on tape Region B: Matches for which their main argument is on importance Region C: Matches for which their main argument is quality Of course, people can vote any way they like. Same as in WON, just because Steve Williams is in the Japan category, doesn't mean his USA stuff doesn't count. I'd love to hear people's thoughts, what they think the nominations should be, and any ideas here before we roll this out in the fall.

The first one had that 4.5 star great great great Rhodes Brothers vs Shield match where they got their job back and Dusty was in their corner, at least.

I really really hate WWE forgetting they are an international company and go into full USA the best, fuck everybody else mode. I fell asleep. Woke up for the Fashion X Files which was the best thing on the show so far. Bennett vs Generico is on now, and the way the announcers hate love is pretty sad too. This company sometimes. Loved the tag at least.

Demolition. Hart Foundation. That's it, I think.

I'm so glad this show is continuing.

Fuck them. I'm so excited for this tournament. There was a lot of talent they didn't use that I know are awesome, and a lot of people in this tournament I don't know, so it could go either way. Would have really loved Deonna Purrazzo in it, as I think she's really under rated. Glad they used people like Mercedes and Mia Yim, who have been killing it on the indies for years.

First ppv I get to watch all the way live this year.... lucky me! Actually it all looks solidish enough.

so, this is coming out on the Nintendo Switch, which means I could actually get it... but will I? Did the fix the Universe mode yet? Last time I played (like 2k15?) they would just book the same match on every show for a storyline.

Of course, WM7 being the biggest example.

Bayley needed to ve built up as an underdog.

Didn't you hate great match theory? yes

Charlotte had some of the best matches last year and in WWE history with Sasha. I love The Miz, but the matches never met that level. By great match theory, Charlotte wins.
