    Raw & SmackDown may be pulled from cable TV

    What the person above me said. It's not that wrestling itself is dying on TV. Cable TV itself is. WWE's two main TV shows are two of the most watched shows on TV every single week. People are going more and more towards VOD/streaming and WWE have adapted to that as well. TV is not make it or...

    All Japan - The House Baba built

    Tajiri makes his return to wrestling in Japan after his short (basically non existent) WWE stint working for All Japan at the June 11 Korakuen show in a six man tag. Based on the interview he seems to be sticking around and using All Japan as his homebase even if just on a pay per appearance...

    Cena HATED going over Nexus

    Once again WC spews out heir own twist of actual historical facts. Cena's losing streak at Summerslam predates the Nexus by a fair amount of time. The last time Cena won at Summerslam outside of the nexus match was 2007. Cena is just the reverse Undertaker in that rather than him winning every...

    2016 - 2017 Football Season Discussion Thread

    Il Bimbo de Oro, played his last ever career game today. Finishing off a fantastic 24 year career in pro football, playing for AS Roma for his entire pro career and youth career. I'm honestly a bit misty eyed. Totti was my childhood favorite player, I got my first pack of football cards as a 7...

    2017 Summer Window Silly Season

    It's one of those moves, if it happens that will either turn out amazing or a flop. I don't feel like there's much of a in between due to expectations

    2017 Summer Window Silly Season

    Up and coming manager in European football. Done some stuff in smaller leagues like Portugal, Turkey and Greece. Was brought in to Hull City in January to try and save their Premier League run but it was too little too late. So now he's going to helm Watford.

    Should Kevin Owens take Anger Management classes?

    I'm going with no. Owens character is too serious at its core for that type of segment to work. He's presented as a killer heel. He doesn't need to come off as goofy.

    2016 - 2017 Football Season Discussion Thread

    I don't worry too much. Wembley's pitch has the same dimensions as the King Power and the K-com. And we saw how those last two matches there went. The more Spurs play at Wembley, the better it will get. Will there be a adaptation period? Probably. But Poch says they will start training on...

    Chris Cornell, 1964 - 2017

    Chris's Audioslave bandmate Tom Morello put together a playlist on youtube with some of his favorite Chris memories. It's pretty great.

    Chris Cornell, 1964 - 2017

    Few online, especially those of us who grew up in the 90s or before have probably missed that Chris Cornell, the lead singer of Soundgarden, Audioslave and Temple of the Dog passed away on May 17. Use this thread to talk about one of the main 4 vocalists of the grunge movement, and one of the...

    All Japan - The House Baba built

    So AJPW held another stacked card in Korakuen on Sunday infront of a almost sold out building. The main event was Ishikawa challenging Kento for the Triple Crown. The result? The big dawg is the biggest dawg in the yard. Kento falls just short of tying Kawada's record for most defences in a...

    CMLL fire two stars after backstage dispute

    In a lot of ways Mexican wrestling is the last outpost of old school territory behavior. Some battle lines are very clearly drawn, both between promotions and between families.

    Agree or Disagree: Japanese Wrestling in general(NJPW, AJPW, etc.) is overall better than the WWE...

    I'm just pointing out that they have TV. By Japanese television standards for wrestling they have guaranteed TV. But it operates under different rules than what we use here in the west. And I never said it was better as a live medium. I said it was more of a live medium. Japanese wrestling as a...

    Then I guess by those parameters no wrestling in Japan has guaranteed TV. Not New Japan, not All Japan, not NOAH, no one. The days of All Japan's weekly TV slot on Nippon TV in the 90s are long gone. But again, wrestling in Japan is much more a live experience medium
