It would be too strong say Regal has a problem with people saying it but he has been pointing out that Marty Jones and Mark Rocco innovated the Junior Heavyweight style not Dynamite Kid and Tiger Mask whenever it gets brought up. He did it on the podcast and a number of times on Twitter - even correcting Lance Storm on it. Seems to be a real pet peeve.

He has a point. Rocco and Jones 70s matches are massively ahead of their time.

That's the tweet I was referring to:

He really seems to put those two meeting on a pedestal as an evolutionary moment in the Wrestling.

 

Rather obviously he watches and rewatches a lot of Wrestling.

Wow, I leave the country for vacation and this happens? Biggest news of the year!

loses feud, cuts hair. trips is really dedicated to that sort of medieval warrior king motif he had going on.

Must feel weird to move your head around after having it the same length for as long as he did.

Is DVDVR down for everybody again?

Yep. Looks like it might be getting moved to a new server

Hopefully that's what it is. The longer it is down the more it looks like someone pushed the big red button marked DO NOT PRESS. But it is a pretty big forum and I have no idea how long that kind of a transfer would take.

This link worked today so good sign http://deathvalleydriver.com/dvdvr/dvdvr158.html

The site has always been working. It's just the board that's been down for what seems like forever now. Wish someone that likely knows what is up *cough* Phil Schneider *cough* would give some kinda update.

Quick question...when was the earliest known use of an earpiece by a referee in a wrestling match? The 90's? Earlier?

I don't know much more then you guys. Servers need to be switched, and Rippa is on it.

I actually thought you guys had a catastrophic server failure victimize you with the weird errors that last 4 (?) days or so, but today it is spitting out ye olde IPS Driver errors again, which, in a sense, is actually promising. It probably means the whole forum didn't get eaten and the whole thing lost. Which would suck.

If we lost the board data then I would have made Dylan recreate my AWA Disc ratings for me.

Check this out.

 

 

In a huge marketing mistake...it only comes in small and medium.

I suspect this will be HHH's front office look. I also suspect his last match will be at next year's Wrestlemania.

We should all try to remember where we were when HHH cut off his ponytail. We can tell our grandchildren about it.

You read his mind. Is Triple H going to pull an Undertaker at the Survivor Series? LOL. . .division of labor is very important.

Dean posted on Facebook that it would be back up next week.

Awesome. Thanks for the update, and at least it doesn't seem like anything is going to be lost.

I don't have an account there, but it's good news for me because I've missed Dean's MOTYC thread the past few days.

 

It's not as dorky as it sounds.

Been watching a few matches from the NJPW vs WAR feud in 92/93 & it's a little hard to make out what the heirarchy is on the WAR side. After Tenryu who was considered the #2 & 3 heavyweight guys on the pecking order thear?

Does anybody here have a link to the epic Andersons for HoF debate that took place on Classics years ago? I'm not talking about the "Ole Anderson bitterest man alive" thread but rather the other thread where a bunch of results and other things were tossed out and debated. John, Bix, anyone?

Going to Night of the Champions tonight in person. I haven't been to a wrestling show since 2005. I don't even watch WWE TV. I'll catch most of the PPV's on delay but that's usually it for my WWE viewing. Don't even know the card outside of Punk/Cena (which should be interesting as far as a crowd perspective). So I'm going in blind for the most party but hopefully it's a good show. My seats are pretty good too.
