    Nobuhiko Takada

    I guess if you consider the big stage to be the biggest stage, but it still drew some really big crowds every now and then; like 40,000+ people. WWE don't even draw that outside of some Rumbles and WrestleManias. There's a reason pairing him up with Mutoh/Hashimoto drew that much interest to...

    Welp, you're the supervisor! I will begin my deep dive into every episode of the Bold and the Beautiful starting tomorrow.

    The Best Fan Thread In The World: CM Punk

    2011 CM Punk in WWE felt like the last time I was "a part of something" in wrestling by keeping up with it. That is, until 2021 CM Punk in AEW.

    El Hijo Del Santo

    Legit contender for #1 worker of all time. If I listed every match of his worth watching I'd break my hands typing, and I bet I could watch ten matches at random and get at least eight more to add. Probably has more MOTYCs spread throughout the past 40 years than anybody with the exception of...

    Nobuhiko Takada

    Takada was, like, a really big star and was often in the main event of UWF by the late 80s, and almost always in the main event UWFi (the promotion he co-founded) throughout the 90s, and had crossover big matches with even boxers and American stars like Vader. His match with Mutoh in 1995 drew...

    The Big Show

    Show is one of those, where, if I see a match he's in and I hear it's 6 minutes or less, I can basically get excited no matter who the opponent is. I think sometimes he can come off as "just a super heavyweight" instead of a giant, but still, right before the bell even rings the story is there...

    Here's every Virus singles match I could find from the 2000s. For some reason can't come across the lightning match with Valiente in 2009. Virus vs. Ricky Marvin (CMLL 14/12/00) Maybe the most unfortunately named wrestler to praise for the past couple years but VIRUS! A lot of the best rudo...

    Bret "The Hitman" Hart

    Bret's gotten a bit of a rep for being kind of boastful and overly prideful, and I won't say it's unearned or anything, but I was listening yesterday about how he just picked lower ranked guys he wanted to work with a lot of the time and think that's really cool. Which other top WWF guy would...

    The Best Fan Thread In The World: CM Punk

    Was thinking today about how few wrestlers are as good at Punk at working a match bit-by-bit to represent whatever feud their in. The Raven feud, Joe trilogy, Jimmy Rave cage match, Brent Alright strap match, Rey series, Cena stuff, etc. I couldn't really define this without a lot of rewatching...

    Eddie Guerrero

    Bonkers fun short match, only marred by a damn ad break. An example of how unbelievably great Eddie was at the time in, in both execution and personality. As a heel during 1997-98, he had an uncanny ability to steal attention away from babyfaces in the ring - even other great workers - but still...

    Unpopular Video Game Opinions

    I play Uncharted on hard which I think is about as balanced as I want it. I'd give crushing a go, especially on PC where I could have the mouse aiming, but would sooner swallow a cactus than try to beat the hardest difficulty they added on the PS4 trilogy. I've heard nightmare stories of the...

    Classic World Championship Wrestling Discussion Thread

    That's not what the people in white coats tell me but HEY, the opener to Bash at the Beach 97 is one of the best openers in PPV history. Also if anybody reading this is on twitter, you should follow @DeepCutsWCW, they post a bunch of GIFs from WCW c-side shows and whatnot.

    Classic World Championship Wrestling Discussion Thread

    I make a special point of mentioning everywhere I go that it should have been a federal crime to not run a full Vader vs. Dustin Rhodes program through 1995 after their tremendous late 94 Clash match thank you for coming to my TED talk

    GTA Trilogy Remastered

    Watched some glitch compilations of this thing and had a blast. There was a cutscene one where Sweet said "I see you inside baby," and the girl proceeded to go off into the house, but bumped into someone on the way and fuckin killed him right there in the cutscene before vanishing into thin air...

    Garbage thread

    Eddie Guerrero vs. Rey Mysterio Jr. (WCW Nitro 12/21/98) The LWO implodes or whatever with Eddie feeling like Rey is too much of his own man, so Eddie responds by yelling at him and beating the fucking shit out of him for the better part of a dozen minutes. This was squash match-level for most...

    Watched (most of) Full Gear. Muddled paragraphs incoming. I thought really highly of Darby/MJF. Did not feel like over 20 minutes at all. Darby might have the best small man dive ever. Or at least, the most rough looking. Comes at em like a fuckin ballista shot. MJF's selling and constant...

    Garbage thread

    Mitsuharu Misawa vs. KENTA (NOAH 8/28/04) Misawa was clearly more physically limited by this point than his prime, but a simple structure and an awesome, super motivated KENTA, not to mention Misawa himself still obviously giving a shit, made for a really cool 13 minutes. KENTA really was badass...

    Garbage thread

    I vow to make this my idea of a good time. Push it until this old dog with new tricks just don't care any more. America's Most Wanted vs. Slash/Brian Lee (NWA TNA 1/8/03) Asked a friend for an old TNA rec so she gave me this, and it was exactly the kind of under-the-radar thing I wanted. Like...
