something about that seems amiss

[AudeSapere]

honestly, i'd probably buy that for $3, because goddamn if it doesn't make me chuckle

Welp, Roderick Strong is ROH champion. He improved his world title record to 1-15. Way to step it up Roddy.

[Patrick]

I've only seen one Roderick Strong match but he seemed absolutely generic, from his 100% plain "look" to his myriad of random suplexes so that independent fans can say "See? Moves! FUCK YOU VINCE" In WWE canon Bryan Danielson is boring, but at the same time Dragon knows how, when, where, and why to do what he does. Strong seemed like he could be replaced with anyone...shit, even me, as long as I have basic training of how to do a gutbuster.

[Jim]

Yeah. Pretty much.

[Just!n]

oh my god, if rod had won the title on friday and i had gone to the saturday show and not the other way around, internet smarks across the fucking GALAXY would be bitching about how hard i "tried getting myself over" via rod strong heckling. like, i would've gotten to the show and then as soon as i saw "rod strong: world champ" i would've blacked out, only to wake up three days later, covered head to toe in memento tattoos of the hateful, venomous shit i'd been yelling at that man.

Aww man, If that actually happened I would have bought my first ROH DVd ever.

[Pronounced Bran-dun Ky-la]

I don't think I've bought an ROH DVD since late 2008. Kinda strange to think that the last thing I liked about ROH was Nigel McGuinness's as champion.

DGUSA (ergo Chuck Taylor) are running a show literally 20 minutes from my house. I don't know what's up with indie promotions running the south shore, but I'm gonna ride that wagon train all the way to grapsville.

[Illinois Smith]

I'm pretty sure that was the dumbest ROH title match I've ever seen. And I've seen Nigel vs Ruckus.

On the other hand, Cide's return pop afterwards was pretty amazing and I very much look forward to good Homicide matches on a regular basis again, especially if it leads to him finally getting a real title reign.

This Sunday I get to check out the closest thing Austin has to Absolute Intense Wrestling, ANARCHY~ Championship Wrestling, featuring TEAM SEX and barely-readable card graphix!

what is the logical evolution of an apparent revolution

[B]

Men wrestling women and blading a lot in front of 40 people is all I can guess

[AudeSapere]

So I just saw a commercial for the local wrestling promotion, which is holding its "Southern Legends" event in early October. The main event? Abdullah the Butcher vs. Bull Buchanan. On the undercard is somebody named "Bruiser Brody Jr." and an Armstrong family reunion.

i... i think i have to see this

saw jim cornette and his woman at the belcourt theatre in nashville today. we saw five easy pieces.

[A Link To The Matt]

you live in Nashville?

[Daniel]

nah, i live in bowling green, ky. about an hour north. i go down a couple times a month to watch movies/concerts.

[A Link To The Matt]

Thats right, we've talked about this before. I always forget that there isn't really anything to do in Bowling Green. I'm hoping they fix Opry at some point, it would be nice to have the IMAX back.
