torontonyr Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Nope. "Strong style" ain't my style, and I've just never been able to get into the majority of Japanese wrestlers. I can't tell their names apart, and none speak or speak English, which makes telling them apart even more difficult. I do have tickets to the Jan 9th IMPACT taping at Manhattan Center though, which it turns out will be Lockdown! So pumped. I hear you, but to be fair - Jim Ross is commentating and the card is pretty much 50% Western wrestlers. It should be interesting. Let me/us know how the first Impact taping goes!

Phil Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 Yup, and I dig most of the Western guys. It's the Japanese ones I don't, and I'm not a fan of "strong style" much either. I may check it out though. Didn't it happen last night? Might be able to DL it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 He's not gone, but I don't. Was watching some earlier stuff of his from late 2014, and man, he was mailing everything in. He made huge calls like Hardy's cross-body on Bully Ray through two tables in NYC sound like a basic leg drop. He's moving into a Mean Gene role.

torontonyr Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Loving Kong back in TNA. That showdown with Havok... has there ever been two women to elicit a "holy shit" chant in history? I was shocked. Earlier yesterday I was watching an interview with her that took place at a Wrestling Expo sometime in December and she emphatically stated that while she loved her time at TNA, that Awesome Kong's time is over and she said she was moving onto new challenges.

torontonyr Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Stumbled across this episode of WWF Livewire from 1996 - the World Wrestling Federation's then call-in show. Vince Russo calls out Vince for mishandeling Jim Ross, and also brings up how stale the product is due to Vince's disconnect with the industry. Moreover, Paul Heyman calls in as Bruce from Connecticut and rails on Vince. It's as true today, as it was in 1996. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_SaLDT6H3U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
