That is absolutely hideous.
The idea that any wrestling belt has ever looked 'good' is pretty laughable. They're all gaudy bits of tat with shiny on, of course they look shit.
It's obviously paving the way for Smackdown's Light Heavyweight division, headed by Jeff Hardy who'll bring his belt in with him

I'll never forget I was doodling in my 3rd grade class and I wrote down "Sunny makes my day Sunny" with a little happy cartoon sun next to it and my mom found it in my binder lollololoolol.Quote:

I'm sure I'd read Sabre Jr. saying he wouldn't be signing with WWE yet which could be lies but had me assuming Perkins would win.
And I'd say it's pretty much all worth watching @Weaver. You've got through the first round it improved all the time from there. Or if you can't be arsed with all of it then at least anything with Sabre Jr., Ibushi, Gallagher or Kendrick in.
A guy at work has lent me PWG BOLA 15. It'll be the first low-rent wrestling I've watched a full show of. Doesn't have many people I've seen before but has a couple WWE have signed.
This year's BOLA has Marty Scurll, Wil Ospreay, Cody Rhodes plus several people who were in the CWC and a tag match from the Young Bucks who I've only seen clips of but look rather good.
That belt looks like a pleb made it at school.
Good lord the Undertakers biker gimmick was shit, which is saying something given it was just after he was a magic voodoo wizard for a bit.
I thought it was cool at the time but then that was the 2 weeks where I though Kid Rock was cooler than he deserved.
Has the Undertaker really had a gimmick anybody cared about the Undertaker having a gimmick anybody cared about since 1999 other than Being The Undertaker? At one point BIG EVIL just twatting little guys. Other than that brief moment when he held up Brother Nero's hand.
The simple dead guy gimmick (preferably with Paul Bearer) was the best one even if he did end up taking a year to get the ring.
Watching an old RAW while eating a disgusting takeaway dinner. I think I said this when I first started watching the Raws from 2000 after they were added but Commissioner Foley was so much fun. It's a pity he's such an overly-hairy waste of space on Raw at the moment.
I'm catching up on CWC and I've fucking well had enough of any sort of dive outside the ring. Every single one is an overdone sack of piss now. Having thirty of them per match obviously doesn't help but all the mugging to the camera/crowd before half of them is irritating and most times it looks safer than half the moves that take place in the ring because their opponent is clearly jst catching them.
This is almost certainly not worth the level of seethe I'm currently displaying but I'm getting so completely bored of them.
That dinner must have been more than disgusting. Have you checked it for Ergot?Quote:

There's an awful lot of rose tinted nostalgia around the Attitude Era but when you see the mid-card is Benoit, Guerrero, Angle, Jericho, Hardys, Edge & Christian and the Dudleys then it's no surprise.
Edit: Also a fat Teddy Long (before he discovered a penchant for truly enormous jackets) as a referee.
Limp Bizkit Undertaker had that weird heel turn where he battered JR for not kissing Vince McMahon's arse.
Well, y'know, he is Vince's bitch.
Ibushi v Perkins CWC semifinal was brilliant, overshadowed the rest of the show. A shame Ibushi didn't want to sign as he's been the best thing about the tournament, although I'm somewhat shocked Dribble H didn't end up going over.
I just watched Royal Rumble 2001 a few days ago where Haku turns up towards the end.
Kane was pretty dominant, and was in the ring for nearly an hour ffs before he got done in by Stone Cold. Drew Carey was one of the people too, for some reason.
Literally turned up for his paid appearance, admitted he didn't watch the show and left later to never be mentioned again. Just wanted to promote his new show.Quote:

Kane donning it, probably the best of Big Show's return-and-chokeslam-everybody moments, loads of proper big names involved,
Even though I knew it wasn't going to happen I wanted Kane to win so much at the time. :(
92 was the best rumble.
Vince makes a bid for TNA

Hmmmm. I'm not sure how I feel about it.
Beyond content going up online what would they get out of it? And while it might be good to have some Sting/AJ/Joe stuff is anyone going to sign up (how much is it again?) just for that?
It's surely just a mental case ego thing. They should know their place; but no, they had to try getting on the telly and signing big names.
2000 era Michael Cole is announcing a non-partisan WWF initiative to get people to vote in the general election........from the floor of the Republican National Convention.
In fact, is it possible that wrestling (and specifically Maggle Cole) is to blame for Dubya? It would explain a few things if his entire presidency was a work.
Edit: Oh god they've called it 'Smack-Down Your Vote'

At least 'The Donald' is a proper fan.
I'm quite enjoying this PWG show so far (I've only watched three matches.) Will Ospreay looks a bit good.
That's among the RAWs I've watched recently. They have him at the Democrats the next week.Quote:

Does he use stupid names for his moves there as well? Despite that I can't help thinking, given the right chance, he would do rather well in the WWE.Quote:

There's a guy in this who goes by the name of 'Trent?' When I looked at the match list and saw the question mark I assumed a typo or something.
It's a ridiculous spotfest but I did rather enjoy this:

Partially because Martin Kirby is great, skip to about 2:15.
Remember when that journalist went off on Swagger and Colter, and they sent Michael Cole to his offices to try and interview him, sounding like a buffoon in the process? That was hilarious.Quote:

Jericho is as good as he's been since I got back into it properly, I reckon.
Was pleased Kendrick won as well, though it occurred to me halfway through that it was the completely sensible outcome. He was really good in CWC but for the people who didn't watch it (and therefore don't know what a TJ Perkins is) they should at least know Kendrick's name. Should be a good match.
I thought it was slightly odd that there was no CW Champion on hand when they 'arrived'. Also TJP is the first ever CW Champion according to Maggle, is he Maggle, is he really?
When it comes to the difference between WWE and WWF it's all a bit Sky Inventing Football with WWE, sometimes.
Makes me wonder if Hornswoggle ever officially vacated the title, I feel a surprise return coming on.
Sabre Jr vs. Ricochet at BOLA 15 is a brilliant match. What clips I'd seen of Richochet implied endless mental flips so him not doing much of that in this match was a pleasant surprise.
The one thing I didn't like about RAW was they built up there would be CONSEQUENCES for Rollins last week and then his punishment was... Having a wrestling match? God...
Thought it was a decent episode though. Quite looking forward to the PPV.
I enjoyed Raw for the first time in a few weeks last night. Probably because I ignored reddit while watching it.
I had Raw on in the background for a bit last night and got to admit I was actually laughing out loud at Foley trying to introduce the cruiserweights. I like the way he knew it was all going to shit and so just took what looked like his script and just read from it.
Yeah he made a mega hash of it. Smackdown was a bit pants. I like that they're making American Alpha go the long route though. It's a pity they don't have the tag teams to properly spin out their road to getting their title shot.
Just read up on Smackdown and there's one thing WWE seem to be doing a lot these days that really needs to fucking stop, and that's booking title matches between people who are already in future title matches. They had that Rollins Vs Ambrose match for the WWE Title and were talking about how Rollins could take it to RAW but why the fuck would it matter when Rollins Vs Ambrose Vs Reigns was already booked for Battleground and really only the outcome of that match would matter? They're pulling the same shit now with Styles Vs Ambrose next week and then Styles Vs Ambrose Vs Cena at the PPV. Fuck sake.
