Professional wrestling has to be one of the saddest "sports" in terms of the drama that often follows the talent. Much of it reads like a redneck soap opera.

Put spoiler tags, you jackass!

Well played.

Holy shit I can't believe I fell for it.

I know the Attitude Era Dvd/blu was mentioned a few pages back as not being canceled, but I don't know if anyone mentioned it would have a PG rating in line with the current wwe product.

" When The Journal Inquirer asked Brian Flinn about the DVD's content, he said it "would be rated as TV-PG and will reflect the company's family values marketing of recent years." "

This worries me.

I know, we might as well just turn on that Honey Boo Boo shit.

Sounds like that DVD/Blu won't be worth jack shit. I'll pass thanks.

In better news....

I've regretted every WWE DVD purchase I've ever made. Thankfully, I've bought <5.

I can't handle their revisionist history, and I'm only interested in accurate WCW and ECW PPVs... I'd kill for those.

The Rise And Fall Of ECW one stays pretty WWE revisionist free IIRC. On that note.... this might have already been posted months ago but if not then enjoy!

I just watched the WWE Legends of Wrestling roundtable on the nWo, and I just got ing tired of the same WWE narrative about the Monday Night Wars, WWE as the Horatio Alger myth, and WCW as the big bad company that screwed everything up nonsense.

Also, bringing up racism behind the scenes (I forget the context) while Michael Hayes is sitting at the table is pretty shameful.

I just deleted all of the ISO files for the Pioneer ECW DVD's I owned. A sad day. :(

During the Mike Mondo vs Mike Bennett match on the ROH iPPV tonight Kevin Kelly goes "fans are respecting Mondo" as the crowd chants "Mondo Sucks" loudly.

On going results from the ROH Glory By Honor XI... final update at 10 PM CST.... already a MATCH OF THE YEAR candidate on this show with Jay Lethel vs Davey Richards.

*Caprice & Coleman def. Bravados. Good opening match.
*Mike Bennett def. Mike Mondo.
*Haas/Benjamin def. Titus/Whitmer. At one point Haas and Whitmer got into a shouting match in the middle of the ring screaming " you" at each other repeatedly.
*Footage from last weekend's Steen vs Lethel match is shown including the fall out of Lethel attacking Cornette. ROH for the most part did a good job editing the footage to not show the fans really pissed off tho you could hear "we want refund" at one point.
*Lethel def Richards in a match of the year contender. Five star match! Post match Eddie Edwards comes out to check on Davey's condition.
*Rhino vs Dardarius Thomas... was original Roderick Strong but he quit the House Of Truth. Truth Martini went backstage and brought out Rhino. Missed most of the match due to watching the end of the Carolina @ Tampa Bay NASL semi final game. Post match Rhino threw Martini out the ring. Martini got legit hurt. Easily the weakest match tonight.
* TV champ Adam Cole vs Eddie Edwards. 30 minute time limit. Cole wins.
*Briscoes aka #DemBoys vs ROH Tag Champs Jimmy Jacobs & Steve Corino (S.C.U.M). S.C.U.M. wins after Corino low blows both Briscoes.
*ROH World Champ Kevin Steen vs Michael Elgin. Steen retains. Slow 10 minute start but then really turned great after that. Post match Roderick Strong attacked Elgin. After that Nigel McGuiness was told to give a package to Kevin Steen in case he won. Steen opened the package real slowly in the ring only to look inside the book in shock. He then slowly pulled out El Generco's mask as the show ended. EL GENERICO IS BACK!

Non-spoiler summary: Outside of one semi dud match and I'm only saying that because it was an okay match but didn't do much for me... easily worth $15.

Holy mother ing shit yes!!!! (ROH iPPV spoiler don't read if you haven't watched)

EL GENERICO IS BACK!!! YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!

Speaking of Dolph, I saw him today at NYCC and had a pretty great experience. I was cosplaying from Arrested Development with my girlfriend (...we were George Michael and Maybe, the cousins, sooo...), and I told her that Dolph seems like he would recognize us.

As soon as we go up, he rushes up to us and says "I want in on this!" and gets in our banana stand (not a euphemism, for those that didn't watch the show) and says he's Jason Bateman.

Really cool dude, a bunch of his press guys started taking fancy pictures of him with us. I asked him when he's cashing in-

He said it looks like it's gonna be at HITC, but it might be him selling the show. Then again, he said it kinda side-barish in a semi-serious tone, as opposed to selling anything.

Also, he signed my banana. Not a euphemism either.

I don't understand why you'd go to NY Comic Con as sit-com characters. Also, it's spelled Maeby.

Trying to understand cosplay choices, or even cons themselves, in general is inherently fruitless. There is no curve for what's asinine anymore. That being said, I've done the costume before at an anime con and had a fantastic reception, and an even better one at NYCC. We literally couldn't go past a minute of the time we were in costume without being asked for pictures or being referenced to. So I guess it wasn't that bad of a choice.

And Dolph signed my banana.

TNA BFG tonight, got it ordered on PPV. Should be a good one. Hopefully the crowd will be hot and not like the Nashville crowd last time they went to a different arena. I heard they sold 3-4,000 tix for this one.

Thanks for the ROH results demo. I have bad luck getting ROH IPPVs and as excited I was for Elgin vs Steen I didn't want to waste my time and not get be able to get it.
