You haven't run out of classics to watch? Oh and how was watching Moss vs. Corbin for the 3rd time? 

 

*Sarcasm* Not nearly as exciting as watching Rhodes and Rollins for the third time.

Shame. I heard that was the lone bright spot that whole show. Especially after Cody worked the match with that pec tear. 

But I get it. Even Okada/ Naito lost it's shine after the 3rd match in two months.

Like I said when Cody returned at WrestleMania, I don't care about him because I saw everything he was capable of  during his first time in WWE.

Wow. Not even the New Japan or ROH stuff?

Sadly, I'm not as knowledgable as you are when it comes to all of the different wrestling companies around the world.

ROH wasn't that hard to find. Most places in the US have a Sinclair affiliate station or Destination America. Impact was on Spike for a long ass time. New Japan was a bit of a late bloomer, not getting steam until 2015. Frankly, I just got so sick of WWE letting me down, so I looked for alternatives. I wanted more of what ECW had pre-2006, more of what CM Punk was bringing to the table, where Kurt Angle went and who was this Bryan Danielson in the comments of YouTube videos? If I hadn't found those, I'd probably have stopped watching wrestling all together come 2009.

I watched Impact on Spike until around when Christian Cage left & I remember seeing ROH and that New Japan show with I think Jim Ross once or twice.

I guess I could  watch AEW clips on Youtube but no one really interests me there not even the ex-WWE wrestlers who I used to enjoy like

Christian and Chris Jericho. 

Plus AEW's Women's Division isn't that great, IMO and that's what I would mainly care about.

I mean, what do you look for in a wrestling fed these days? Those Ruthless Aggression favorites aren't gonna last forever and neither will the classic Raws and Smackdowns.

True. That will hopefully give me a good backlog of wrestling from the modern era to watch in the future.

I don't watch current Raw or SmackDown so it will hopefully be a surprise when I eventually finish the wrestling that I'm watching right now.

Kinda sounds like you would enjoy a New Japan and their sports based presentation, especially the young lions, who we see grow and mature over time. AEW is great at the character growth stuff. Just look at Hangman Page's arc, Wardlow's rise or the growth of Wheeler Yuta. AEW have a lot more nuance than WWE could ever hope for.

You've made me want to see Bryan Danielson wrestle a bear and a lion in a handicapped match.

I remembered the bear part. Just wondering what the lion part was. 

Great. Now I wanna see BD vs. Claudio in AEW. Y'know, when Claudio isn't busy doing the most European thing ever.

And not just drink coffee.

The most money making man in Europe now has the time. Now he has the technology. Now, he definitely has the money. Great, now I wanna go back and watch his run on ROHDnet. 

Fun fact, I was there for his last ROH match. 

 

And hey if they got the name in court, they need to uphold it's traditions.

Paige is FINALLY leaving WWE in a few weeks due to her contract expiring.

Some fans think Paige will go to AEW for some reason but I think she will stick to gaming streams or whatever because even though she

wants to wrestle I don't think even AEW would be crazy enough to clear her.

Honestly, Paige would do better to stay out of wrestling entirely and just make money via streaming.

I agree.

It would be cool for Paige to be able to end her career on her own terms in the same way as Bryan Danielson & Edge but playing games sounds safer.

Hey.

Former X-Division champ Doug Williams vs. former ECW Television champ. Eddie Guerrero

 

[Denim&Venöm 19,066]

So I'm watching the joint NOAH x DDT x TJPW x Ganbare super show: Cyberfight Fest. And I just heard this gem from the English announce team.

That's the vice president of DDT right there.

What's with the chicken mask? Was there a "barnyard brawl" match later or something?

Let's just say he was in a tag match with antics that would make Val Venus crawl back to Right To Censor in shame.
