Wrestling Thread January 2nd-31st/NXT Takeover Tonight At 8PM ET/NTWT Royal Rumble Info On Page 1/Ro

Nope, here I am...I was kinda pissed I couldn't take part in the SS or RR pools because my schedule is crazy these days between writing, fighting and moonlighting but I'm still all about the squared circle. 

Just used the last three weeks to catch up with the pros too, Nov-Jan of WWE plus WK and lots of ROH. I still have to catch up to NXT but I'm like 6 months or more off that, where 's a good place to jump in?
 
Man I have watched ONE NXT show since NXT Toronto. I haven't really been watching man. I need to catch up. Much like you, I have been watching ROH religiously each SAT night on the Website.

Really enjoying the Decade of Excellence tournament.

Technical question,

What is "different" about how this dude bounces off of the ropes. Something looks different

HHH on Kurt Angle

I think it’s a very well deserved induction into the Hall of Fame. We’ve had an association with Kurt for a long time but when Kurt was here in the WWE, he was one of the most impactful and memorable and iconic characters probably ever. One of the things that always stands out for me is that I was here when Kurt was coming out of the Olympics and training. And having never done this before, he went from zero knowledge of our industry to being one of the most incredible performers in the ring in the time frame of the Attitude Era where, you know, he was in there with some of the best in the world. And he very quickly went from walking to the ring for the first time to being one of the best in the world himself. It happened faster than anyone else. And that’s what I do now mostly in my day to day job. Most of my day is focused on talent and recruiting and training and talent development. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen someone pick it up as fast as Kurt. Just on that basis alone, he should be inducted. But then you throw in all that he’s accomplished, that he’s accomplished since leaving WWE even, and will continue to accomplish. I’m really happy for Kurt as a human being. I’m also happy that he’s a really good place in his life right now.

Just by looking at it, it seems as though he places his hands on the top rope kinda unnaturally when you're supposed to spring off it using the muscles in your back.

Also looks like his footwork is a bit off, you're supposed to pivot on your off foot at the last possible second so you SNAP into the rotation and POP toward your opponent. Instead, looks like he did a full back turn toward the ropes, leaned back then tried to shoot out of there. Didn't get the speed he wanted which is why he got caught with the flapjack. 

Maybe he was thinking about some kind of rebound attack on the way in but knew he messed up the timing and thought better of it, not sure. I want a rebound attack.

Nah. he runs like that all the time
 
Yeah everybody does it slightly differently, just like walking or running...I took forever to get my mid-ring to rope approach down to 3 steps because I have long legs and and I still have to kinda cheat by leaning out slightly with my back during the pivot. I would never use both arms to rebound tho, seems like a good way to get thrust-kicked in the face.

Semi-randomly: I remember a match between Billy Gunn and Road Dogg where Gunn was going in for a corner Stinger Splash and Doggy counters by simply punching dude in the face while he's midair.

EDIT: Remember when BG just started busting out the Jackhammer for no *** reason like Nitro wasn't on the other channel?
