remember when wrestling was good and I had a MOTY tracking list?

oh don't bother. It's not that kind of bad. A complete waste of anyone's time.

I can't be bothered watching the main event after that. Just went ahead and looked at the result. Uemura lost. So the final three advancing are Evil, Finlay and Tsuji.

The most uninspiring three they could have picked.

I feel completely unrewarded for investing the last three weeks in this thing.

Today's Evil/Tanahashi match and booking was one of the biggest pieces of shit I've seen in 34 years watching wrestling

"I'm in the mood for grilled eel and victory!"

And people say this is a boring man.

This is awesome I'm awaiting Naylor posting his 1986 birthday photo with a Nikita figure :)

Hope both you guys enjoy your day.

Very much taking note of the post-match of today's G1 main event. That crowd were treating Shota Umino like THEIR guy in a way that seemed really important and meaningful. Everyone wanted a piece of him and they weren't leaving until he was gone.

Me with my new grads at work when they do me proud.

ELP with the always unfortunate dive to the floor to where the guy isn't standing.... an unfortunate botch, but always hilarious. Mitsuharu Misawa himself famously lost his shit laughing when his partner Ricky Marvin did this in NOAH. One of the more heartwarming Misawa memories.

Wow, very belated congrats Barry!

Just give me this.

and FINISHED!

Dare I say that was a peach of a wrestling match

I'm in my absolute element here with this Oiwa vs. Uemura match. God if you're depressed about the state of modern wrestling, will this thing ever cheer you up. Intensity, a feeling of competition and a care for details. Bless these two.

Pro wrestling is so simple. I just watched ZSJ and Drilla Maloney act like a pair of belligerent arseholes to each other after a match and now I'm super pumped to see them in their singles match tomorrow!

Sounds like a speciality one off DDT show in Shinkiba

Am I the only sicko that watches the same G1 opening video on every show? I've been going around the house humming the song for weeks now.

Oleg seems very friendly in his part.

10 years ago wow!

I think this was my second weekend commentating for wXw. Jeremy's too. Might sound arrogant, but I really do think we were excellent for two guys with no experience at the job. No intention of doing it again, but I'm glad I did it for four years.

I don't know why I found this as funny as I did. Leathery skin brothers.
