Mitsuharu Misawa memorial wrestling topic (1962-2009)

Cody Rhodes sometimes stops in the comic shop that a friend of mine owns. Last time he was in he really loaded up. Dude is a straight up geek (not that there's anything wrong with that).
 
The first thing I thought upon reading that Grand Master Sexay article and seeing where the arrest happened: "Strange things are afoot at the Circle K".
 
[quote name='Genocidal']It's even worse when you consider the fact that all three of them have been out of action, injury or otherwise, during that span.[/QUOTE]

It's downright fucking horrible when you consider the Orton / HHH fued of 04-05, especially since they even REPEATED the Last Man Standing match, complete with dusty finish, just swapped roles (Orton as face, HHH as heel with his two lackeys).
 
Mitsuharu Misawa is widely considered one of the greatest wrestlers

Joey Styles was told outright no more Twitter posts talking about politics. There was tremendous heat on him from the corporate side for fear of an advertiser backlash.

Antonio Inoki is doing a 13-city interview tour in early 2010. The tickets would be priced at $39.22 and the show would be Inoki first giving a speech, then there would be an Inoki career slide show, an audience Q&A, and finally, he slaps everyone in the face as hard as he can. I’m not making this up.

The bodies of brothers Alberto Jiménez (La Parkita) and Alejandro Jiménez (El Espectrito Jr.) were found in room 52 of the hotel Moderno in the Cuauhtémoc delegation of Mexico City. They had checked in along with two alleged hookers; hours later, the two ladies left alone. This concerned the hotel staff and went to check the guests. That's when the found the two lifeless bodies, lying in the beds. The bodies were transferred to the Servicio Médico Forense (Forensics Medical Service) to determine the cause of death. The results will be made public later today. Toxicology reports will also be made.

The Procuraduria General de Justicia - Distrito Federal (Mexico City Distric Attorney) currently think that the wrestlers were poised with a combination of ophthalmic-like medicine and alcohol. This is a common practice of Las Goteras (The Gutters/The Drops), a gang of prostitutes that rob their clients after they pass out from ingesting tainted drinks. Alcohol containers were found on the scene of the crime. The PGJDF are following leads on the whereabouts of the two hookers.[/quote]

Crazy stuff today (well, yesterday actually).

EDIT: I had an e-mail for a "birthday discount" from WWE Shop, so I went to the site and I saw the Allied Powers: Greatest Tag Teams DVD. How was I not aware of that DVD's existence? Release date: July 14th.

I'm excited for the WCW and "Best of Smackdown" DVDs as well.

EDIT 2: They also have the Best of the IC Title and Randy Savage DVDs, $25.99 for the pair:

Smackdown spoilers for 7/10:

* Kane defeated Jeff Hardy.

* Dolph Ziggler defeated John Morrison

* Melina and Eve Torres defeated Layla and Michelle McCool

* CM Punk cut a promo on Jeff Hardy. Punk joked how Jeff is one drug test failure away from being fired from WWE.

* CM Punk wrestled Khali to a No Contest when Kane came in and interfered. Punk was boo'd heavily.

* The Hart Dynasty defeated Cryme Tyme

* Rey Mysterio defeated Chris Jericho to retain his Intercontinental Title in the match of the night. Edge and Dolph Ziggler attacked Mysterio after the match.Mysterio and Ziggler got into it, which will probably lead to Ziggler getting a title shot at Night of Champions.

Non-spoiler match listing:

Jeff Hardy vs Kane
Dolph Ziggler vs John Morrison
Melina/Eve vs Layla/Michelle McCool
Punk vs Khali
Hart Dynasty vs Cryme Tyme
Rey Mysterio vs Chris Jericho

This show looks really good on paper, so hopefully it doesn't disappoint. The Punk/Hardy stuff continues to be good, and the Dolph situation could turn out to be decent.

Don't forget, WWE had a guy whose name was "Just Joe".
 
JBL on Twitter: "On the cover of the new Muscle and Body Magazine with Torrie Wilson, check it out at Vitamin Shoppe. Not bad for a 42 year old"

What are some wrestling DVDs that you guys would recommend? I have a lot of WWE stuff, but was wondering what might be out there in terms of TNA or independent stuff. I'm interested in history and match DVDs. Also, any recommendations on the top WWE stuff would be appreciated as I may be missing something.

Also, I know this isn't a deal thread, but since it is the best place to talk wrestling; I have a sealed ECW's Bloodiest Matches that I'd be willing to trade if anyone is interested.

Oh and would you guys be interested in having a night where we start a party on the 360 and play Legends of Wrestlemania and TNA?
 
Just wanted to share one of my favorite moments in the ring - it's old, but this is the first time I've had access to the footage online (thanks to my friend and fellow CAG xpag406 for uploading it)!

Behold: CAG's own Busta Uppa puts everything one the line in a grueling... HAIR vs. HAIR MATCH

(this is kinda long so if you're pressed for time I'd suggest starting with the second video: )

Pro Wrestling Guerrilla's "PWG Sells Out!" DVD is excellent. Three "best-of" discs, covers a lot of indie stars, and it's like $15 at Best Buy.
 
JJSP thanks for the info. Has anyone seen the non-WWE produced World Class DVD? I've heard its pretty good.

Also, anyone have any book recommendations? I've read the Foley ones, The Rock, and that's it I think.
 
I think he donated it to make wigs for people who contracted the Super AIDS that one can only get by fucking Missy Hyatt.

UMX, I thought no one wanted to play TNA Impact, LOL. I don't have LoW, but I'd be willing to boost for achievements on TNA.

Brett Hart's and Chris Jericho's. Jericho's ends with his 1st debut on RAW so don't expect much about the WWE.
 
[quote name='masked lemon']Matt, I just bought TNA Impact. I'm down to do some boosting or whatever.


It's like $8 on Gamefly right now.[/QUOTE]

Sounds good. The game's not horrible, actually, but I have so much shit to play that I wouldn't waste time on Impact if not for boosting.

I'm not sure how much I'll be available over the weekend, since I have both social and gaming commitments to take care of. But sometime soon, we should get a party together and do this. The only bad thing is that some of the achievements are glitchy.

A friend tried to boost me to the Planet Jarrett achievement, and after 5 tries, it never worked. For the leaderboard achievements, we'd probably each have to beat each other about 75 times in a row. No, I'm not exaggerating.

P.S. It's Bret with one T, Onyx. :p

No surprise here, but I highly recommend Edge's book. HBK's was a decent read as well.
 
I second HBK's book, and I also recommend Flair's book, though I wish he'd spent a little more time talking about his early days in the business leading up to and including his very first match. He just sort of glosses over it.

For DVDs I'd recommend - The Hardcore Homecoming Documentary, it's basically the rise and fall of ECW, just not made by Vince. It also has all of the cool ECW guys that the WWE produced one didn't have. I also enjoyed the Loose Cannon Brian Pillman DVD, the American Dream Dusty Rhodes DVD set is good also for the story and matches.

Books, I enjoyed The death of WCW, Ric Flair and Bischoffs.

You should also look into some shoot interviews, the Raven/Sandman shoots are classic and super funny. The Outsiders Hall and Nash shoot is great also.

Bret Hart and Chris Jericho's books are great.

I've heard really good things about William Regal's book but I haven't been able to get my hands on it yet. Same with Jerry Lawler's book.

Kurt Angle's book is decent but it barely touches on his WWE career (for example, at the end of the book, he talks about wanting to amateur wrestle a young guy who was in development at the time...Brock Lesnar)

I have a copy of Terry Funk's book but I only read part of it a year or two ago. Imagine Terry telling stories while sitting in his house and you have the book (as far as I made it). I need to re-read it some time soon.

That was a fun show. Deaner-Red was awesome thanks to Deaner's bumping and the hilarious commentary. Morgan's "GF" bits and badgering someone at a 24 hour gym that closed at 9 PM resulted in him actually entertaining me briefly tonight, which is a huge step up from leaving absolutely no impression on me whatsoever. The main event was good-ish. Nothing memorable about it other than the pre-match graphic noting that the Impact main event had SPECIAL STIPULATIONS and Don giving Jeff shit for having a thousand nicknames.

Roode botching a ton of stuff on commentary during the 3D tag match made me laugh, as did the number 1 contender's match for the frigging tag belts having a thousand run-ins and a weapon shot. This show also featured another one of those rapid-fire segment to segment things as they went from something to JB IN THE BACK for two seconds, and then right into a Nash interview about it being all about the money and him wanting the legends belt because it results in more money at autograph sessions. Nash is an awesome man.

Screens -

















Quotes -
Angle - THE MAIN EVENT MAFIA IS THE MOST DOMINANT FORCE IN THE HISTORY OF THIS BUSINESS!!
Angle - Mick, from your favorite movie, Rocky…that’s your favorite right?
Foley - It’s up there.
Angle - If you want to dance, you’ve gotta pay the band. IT’S TIME TO PAY THE BAND!
(on Rocco and Sally Boy)Angle - What are they gonna do?
Foley - Probably nothing.
Angle - Get ‘em, Scotty. (he beats them with a pipe)
Angle - Hold on, Scotty…
Steiner - WHAT, THIS IS WAR!
Foley - I got a horrible deal on the WORST SECURITY TEAM EVER!
Foley - Let’s…MAKE A DEAL!
Angle - What am I, Monty Hall? Fine. Door 1, I kick your ass. Door 2, Booker T kicks your ass. Door 3, Nash kicks your. Behind the curtain…JOE!
DW - He got door 1, 2, 3, and 4!
DW - Here comes Mr. Hamstring with the guitar!
(within 2 minutes, we get a Tenay/DW segment, a JB backstage segment, and a Nash interview)
(on Nash)Tenay - It’s not a stretch to say that you’re the most controversial figure ever.
Nash - Before ‘96, a year before, we were looking at our checks for Summerslam, and one would say I got $85,000, what? I got $45,000!? You got screwed! When I was WWF Champion, I was working 300 dates a year. 311, I think, and barely making seven figures. I’m here for one thing and one thing only - to make money.
Tenay - Does everything revolve around money? YOU CAN’T TELL ME THAT LEGENDS TITLE SHOT AT AJ STYLES DOESN’T MEAN A LOT TO YOU?!
Nash - Of course, I think anyone can tell you that I’m in the best shape I’ve been in 10 years and I want to be champ. You go to the autograph sessions and put that belt around a kid’s shoulder? You get about 3-4 grand! It all equates to cash.
Tenay - Last week, Abyss felt the shock therapy of the taser! (Abyss goes into a rage and throws a bucket)
Abyss - I never asked you to stop being a woman, don’t ask me to stop being a monster!
Lauren - You’re not a monster, YOU’RE A MAN!
(after Deaner punches ODB’s tits)Tenay - The striking technique on the speedbags looks pretty good!
Tenay - You’ve had a lot of conversations with the Deaner. Those must’ve been enlightening.
DW - Deaner’s head hit the concrete. The good part about that is that I don’t think there’s much to mess up!
DW - Every time ODB hits her chest like that, it’s her way of telling him to brawl.
Tenay - One bounce means swing away, and two means hit and run.
Tenay - He’s adjusting his cap due to the wind here in the Impact Zone.
DW - Bad day in Muscle Shawls, Tenay.
Tenay - We’ve got a star-studded main event with SPECIAL STIPULATIONS!
Booker - Sharmell, go find Matt Morgan. It’s Mafia business.
Sharmell - Why?
Booker - JUST DO IT! GEEEEEZZZZ!
Tenay - Jesse Neal is such a great human interest story. He’s wanted to be a wrestler his whole life, and Rhino’s spent countless hours helping him achieve his dream!
DW - He’s not taking anything from anyone! Not even a war hero! He just slapped him and threw him into the rail! He gave him a lesson and he’s not even gonna charge him!
Tenay - We’re under Jeff Jarrett’s rules tonight!
DW - He made things up on the fly tonight! THAT’S JUST JEFF JARRETT BEING JEFF JARRETT!
DW - Jesse Neal just cost Rhino the match! TO THE BACK WITH LAUREN!
Morgan - HOW CAN YOU CALL YOURSELF A 24 HOUR GYM IF YOU CLOSE AT 9 PM!
Sharmell - Kurt wants to see you!
(to the gym guy)Morgan - GOODBYE! WE GOT CHECKS TO CASH!
Morgan - Thanks, GF!
Angle - GF?
Morgan - Godfather… FORGET THE TECHNICALITIES!
(dring Velvet’s upskirt entrance) - DW - Ohhhh yeeaahhhh…!
DW - Velvet and I were texting last night at 4 in the morning and she said nothing’s gonna keep her from helping Angelina keep her title.
Tenay - Why at 3 or 4 in the morning?
DW - Well if you don’t know by now, I’m not gonna tell ya now.
Tenay - So you’re saying there’s a difference between texting and sexting?
DW - I’m not gonna get into your sick, sordid fantasies. Just call the match!
Tenay - The Beautiful People and high IQs have never been mentioned in the same sentence.
DW - If they hadn’t become wrestlers, they’d be in Harvard Medical School.
Tenay - WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL!?
DW - I’m pretty sure Dr. House went there, and Dr. Becker too.
Tenay - Well, you should know where your shrink went!
DW - I wasn’t sure if those mail-order degrees were real or not.
(as Tara puts the tarantula on Velvet’s stomach)DW - I HOPE THAT’S A MALE TARANTULA!
Angelina - THAT IS A BIG SPIDER! IT NEEDS A LEASH! OR SOMEONE NEEDS TO STEP ON IT!
BRD - THERE IS NO CAN’T ON THE ROAD I WALK! I WILL BECOME!
DW - I don’t want these guys interrupting our flow…
DW - HEY GUYS HOW YA DOING! YOU’RE ONE OF MY FAVORITE TEAMS EVER!
Tenay - IT’S LIKE A FOG OVER HERE WITH YOU BLOWING SO MUCH SMOKE!
Roode - I agree.
Storm - What kinda Chap Stick you use, Don?
DW - Whichever one you use, buddy!

Roode - The British Invasion just pokes their nose in anywhere.
DW - Couldn’t have said that better!
Roode - Shut. Up!
Roode - There’s some good confederates. Competitors. Out there.
Tenay - Are you just gonna sit out here and, like a parrot, repeat what they say?
DW - Hey, I’m just letting people know that they’re good points! Come on, Mike, we’re out here doing jobs!
DW - When we talk about the elite of tag team wrestlers here in TNA, you’ve been the man for seven years here, James. How many titles ya won?
Storm - 10.
DW - I WAS GONNA SAY DOUBLE FIGURES!
Roode - Uh oh, we’ve seen that look before.
Storm - Dat’s what we call da Crazy Eyes of Bubba Ray!
Tenay - BUBBA BOMB! SITOUT BOMB!
DW - Kiyoshi and Bashir have come out here wanting beer! Or something! And they got Beer Money outta here!
DW - IT’S OBVIOUS THAT ABYSS ISN’T TAKING HEAD OF SECURITY MIKE DAVIS’ WARNING SERIOUSLY! If I’m Jethro Holliday, I’d get out of Dodge…so to speak.
Abyss - DR. STEVIE! COME OUT, COME OUT WHEREVER YOU ARE! COME CLOSER! I WANT THE WHOLE WORLD TO HEAR WHAT I HAVE TO SAY! DR. STEVIE! I DON’T NEED YOU ANYMORE! NO MORE THERAPY SESSIONS! NO MORE CALLING IN DAILY TO CHECK IN! AND NO MORE SHOCK TREATMENT! EXCEPT FOR YOU! BECAUSE WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU, I’M GONNA HOIST YOU UP AND DROP THIS 350 POUND PLUS ASS OF MINE! AND I’M GONNA SNAP YOU ACROSS YOU ACROSS MY SHOULDERS LIKE A TWIG!!!!!
Stevie - Lauren says… what did you say, Lauren… SHUT UP! Do you have any idea what I can do to her? I’m not going to, because I’m not the monster you are, and believe me, I’VE THOUGHT ABOUT IT LONG AND HARD! YOU TURNED ON ME FOR THIS USELESS PIECE OF MEAT! I OWN YOU, CHRIS. MIND, BODY, AND SOUL. I OWN ABYSS! NEXT WEEK, YOU WILL COME TO MY OFFICE FOR THERAPY, BECAUSE IF YOU DON’T…
Tenay - WITH DR. STEVIE ABDUCTING LAUREN, DOES ABYSS EVEN HAVE A CHOICE?!

The Rock said that the police caught him in the park while he, at 13, was losing his virginity to an 18 year old. Eventually it just goes on to be kayfabe.
 
Yeah, The Rock's book isn't on the same level as others, but I got a hardcover copy for $3 and it was a fun read. If you don't mind paperback (or if you can find a HC copy cheap like I did) it's worth $10 or so.
 
Thanks for the info, I'll put Jericho and Bret's books at the top of my list and try to get or at least borrow from a library some of the others too.

Regarding TNA and/or LoW, I couldn't care less about achievements, but if the stuff is reasonable to get I don't mind helping out.
 
After the Midway sale to Warner Brothers 2 teams, including the San Diego studio which has been working on a new TNA game, was given notice. The team and the TNA license are not part of the WB deal.

You know HHH will have plenty to say. They put him on EVERY DVD release no matter if he had anything to do with the wrestler or not.

If it's worth anything, Bischoff/Turner both refused to be on the DVD and you can bet that they won't talk to anybody under TNA contract (Sting/Russo/Nash)

That's pretty much epic fail then. I would love to hear Nash talk about the WCW days. He always has good stories.
 
Possible bad news for Edge:

We received a report last night from a fan in attendance at the Smackdown/ECW live event in San Diego saying Edge was injured during his match with Jeff Hardy. The fan says Edge was running towards Jeff when it appeared he twisted or broke his ankle and that his foot was in a very awkward position. The match was stopped, EMT's came running to Edge and he was helped to the back but not before he told the fans "sorry" on the mic.

Furthermore, Dave Meltzer says the injury may be a torn Achilles tendon and that they had only been actually wrestling for about a minute. This would be a serious injury for one-half of the Unified Tag Team Champions that would likely require surgery and put him out of action for a while.

Meltzer also reports that WWE are most likely going to try and figure out a way to get the belts on Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase and if you haven't read RAW spoilers for next week, we will find out more about that on Monday. Word is that WWE is looking at footage of the Edge vs. The Great Khali match taped on Wednesday night for next Friday's SmackDown to see if there's a spot in the match where they can claim a storyline injury happened.

It's odd to see that the only match included on the WCW DVD from the last 2+ years of the company is a match involving Lance Storm, not that I'm complaining.
 
I was really hoping for more from the 1997-1999 era on that DVD, or at least more stuff that covered the 'big' stuff of that era.

Sucks about Edge, but at least he is one of the few guys that doesn't really seem to lose much momentum even after being out for months.
 
Not a big fan of Edge but you hate to see the guys get hurt. Hope he recovers quickly.
