January 24, 20187 yr comment_5829228 Nah. Just constant motivational posts and stuff about people being two-faced, etc. Just waiting for him to start selling protein powder.
January 25, 20187 yr comment_5829349 I get a preshow is there to hype the PPV matches but one thing that always annoyed me as a kid was when Pettengill would be around the arena hyping something at ringside there was always a match in the ring. I know its a dark match but damn just show the bloody thing. If it was Bodies/Bushwhackers or Kwang/Plugg having a dark just don't see why they didn't just show the entire match. I know they did from 1996 onwards but a shame the mid 90s stuff didnt.
January 25, 20187 yr comment_5829364 PWG just announced David Starr vs Travis Banks for the next show. Glad he is getting another shot with a more suitable opponent.

I'd love to see the preshow or dark matches from a lot of these PPV's, I'd imagine they'd have to have been taped so I don't know why they don't get added to the network or a DVD release.
January 25, 20187 yr comment_5829390 I know alot of fans feel Mabel was a terrible choice to Main Event Summerslam but would it have been better if we had gotten Shawn/Taker in the KOTR 95 finals?
January 25, 20187 yr comment_5829398 Shawn/Diesel II would have been a far superior choice. I would have taken Diesel/Taker over what we got.

January 27, 20187 yr comment_5829598 Kotoka who wrestles for dragon gate has announced he is going to retire on an upcoming Korakuen show in march, he is 28. The reason for retirement is sadly injuries, he has had 4 surgeries in 2 years on his knees and neck. He was never the best wrestler but was a really good babyface over the last year cultivating a small but fiercely defense fanbase. His younger brother has just debuted in December. Kotoka has always struggled with being small even for dragon gate and was relegated to being an undercard jobber act. He later turned heel and joined verserK where he was the whipping boy for the group always taking the pins. He was thrown out of verserK in 2016 and joined MaxiMuM in 2017 where he had his best run even getting a win in a Korakuen main event and a tag title shot on a major show.
January 27, 20187 yr comment_5829600 Wow, that Kotoka news is terrible. As noted above he really shined last year and provided a unique energy up and down the card, always bringing great fire to his outings. Hopefully he stays healthy and busy in the years ahead.
January 29, 20187 yr comment_5830367 Anyone catch wXw Back to the Roots XVII yet? Pretty underwhelming overall. I was really looking forward to the women's title match and the WarGames style single ring cage match, but they were OK at best. I like Killer Kelly a lot, but she's still obviously very green and from what I've seen of Toni Storm, she's seemed OK'ish. The cage match was literally all over the place though and it lacked blood and intensity unfortunately. I started following the organizations this year, so I will try and keep up with all the weekly Shotgun events and the marquee events.

January 30, 20187 yr comment_5830513 Card wasn’t very appealing to me so I was planning on skipping it unless something got buzzed. If you follow them, just skip everything and watch the cage match. It's underwhelming, but there's story progression there.
January 30, 20187 yr comment_5830554 Looks like 2/10/1993 was Flair's last appearance. Looks like his last series of matches was a tour of Germany. I think from the Rumble it's clear he was leaving. I wonder when he decided? You would have to think mid December by the latest. You figure he gives 6 weeks notice, that's around Christmas and goes through the Germany tour and gives them a couple of weeks to do the Hennig match. PTB Podcast did a whole segment of their RR 93 episode of looking through Graham Cawthons results site to pinpoint Flair final appearance for the company. Fun listen
January 30, 20187 yr comment_5830566 Perhaps at some point there should be a Mania Weekend Thread... maybe I will just start it, but Joey Janela announced last night that he is facing The Great Sasuke at Joey Janela's Spring Break 2.... which is INSANE. That match is going to be next-level bonkers. I honestly can't wait for that show.
February 1, 20187 yr comment_5830787 He looks much smaller than when I saw them (which, I guess is probably getting close to 10 years ago).
February 1, 20187 yr comment_5830845 From what I remember (courtesy of his appearances on MLW podcasts), he started eating healthier around the time he started smoking weed, which is within 10 years.
February 1, 20187 yr comment_5830847 My 10-month-old son has started doing that baby thing where they just randomly point at stuff. My wife asked my 6-year-old daughter what she thinks hes pointing at. She said, Probably the Wrestlemania sign.

February 1, 20187 yr comment_5830850 Adam Cole: This weekend, I scratched the surface of what I’m capable of here in @WWE...I’ll prove to the world that I am what I say I am...#Undisputed #AdamColeBayBay #NXTTakeover #RoyalRumble Chuck Taylor: hey @ShutUpExcalibur you see this fat piece of shit try to cover up his gut with that silly DDP belly tape? Excalibur: That type of injury only occurs when you've eaten a three tier wedding cake by yourself in one sitting.
February 2, 20187 yr comment_5830882 Definitely. Excalibur just randomly busting on Cole being "ponchy" or having wide birthing hips is forever good for a laugh.
