WWE Talk Pt. II: It's not a good thread, it's not a bad thread, it's THE thread...

[M2]

It was the video of the Ricochet-Will Ospreay match from the Best of the Super Juniors tournament that went viral. New Japan had it, very wisely, as a free video on YouTube, to help gauge interest in the New Japan World service... but apparently the video didn't last. It must have been for a limited time only, as they say.

I watched last week (obviously not via TRF's link). Loved it. Ricochet and Ospreay are two of the best on the planet at this moment.

I thought it was great as well. I don't get the handwringing... I kinda understand people not liking the stereo flip/standoff thing towards the beginning, but big deal, of all super fake things in wrestling, I am not sure why this would be the one that sets people over the edge. Those that actually WATCHED the match see that it had a story, actually did have psychology, and wasn't just spot, spot, spot, spot. I imagine there was similar handwringing over Dynamite Kid-Tiger Mask when it was revolutionizing junior wrestling a generation ago. (Or is that two wrestling generations ago by now??)

Re: NXT, loved the tag team match, those two teams just click really well, and I could watch them fight a thousand times and never get tired of it. I liked it better than Nakamura-Aries and Joe-Finn though both of those matches were certainly fine, and well, better than fine in the case of Nak-Aries. But man, there's something special when Jordan/Gable fight Dash and Dawson. Rock N Roll-Midnight Express vibes in the 21st century for me.

Just to toss this into the mixer. Lucha Underground has been killing it every week. The 6v6 match and nunchuck matches from this week were a blast.

[Javy Pornstache]

Yep, I love me some Lucha Underground too. Due to a recording snafu, I missed out on the nunchuck match but with the guys involved, I have no doubt that it turned out great. I did see the 6v6 match and was just great. I generally do a good job avoiding LU spoilers, so it makes it all the more intriguing, there are many different directions they could go for the main event of Ultima Lucha with the six winners in that tag match, let alone all 12 that started the match. No clue which direction they'll go.

Not WWE, but this happened last week:

According to the Rome News-Tribune, a spectator pulled a loaded gun on a wrestler in the middle of a match this past Saturday and is now being charged with aggravated assault. The woman in the seats, 59-year-old Patricia Anne Crowe, who reportedly has regularly attended the monthly American Wrestling Federation (AWF) events in Ringgold, apparently just got up during a match involving longtime wrestler Paul Lee (pictured above) and a wrestler known as “Iron Mann” and pointed her gun at Lee.

She then allegedly pointed the gun at the “commissioner” of the show, “Robbie Rude,” as well.

Scary stuff.

Just another Saturday Night in Biloxi, Mississippi for James E. Cornette.

[Caveat Emperor]

Dean Ambrose wins the MITB.

Seth Rollins beats Roman Reigns for the WHC.

Ambrose cashes in immediately after and takes the WHC from Rollins.

All 3 former members of the Shield would have held the title on the same night.

TNA almost went dark last weekend due to lack of money. Billy Corgan saved them by buying a minority stake in the company.

So does AJ get a victory tonight to go on and get feed to the Cena monster at Summerslam or will they just blow it off here and Cena will vanquish the rebel outsider like WWE tends to do with people who made their name elsewhere (see Vader, see Sting, see many countless others).

I guess when betting the WWE, playing the chalk is the way to go.

Cleveland may be celebrating tonight, but Dean Ambrose brought home the real prize for Cincinnati.
