Eddie Guerrero's WCW theme was filthy

That joint was fire.
This sounds like porno music. Like during the intro when the ***** just be feeling herself up and making dumb *** faces.

I'm tryna hear Gucci remix this though.

 
Man we need somebody to apply forreal. Seriously. I think one of us should try.
TNA needed a writer a few months ago. The app was on their site.

If they get purchased by Spike or move to MTV or MTV2 (btw this was rumored), I'm tryna be in that ***.
 
DC hipped me to the whole respect thing way back. I've watched a lot of NJ/AJPW matches over the years but never really understood the crowd until that was mentioned, and now that makes the matches more enjoyable. As far as the US crowds, when they're great, it's phenomenal to see, like Bryan winning, or the reactions when Brock pinned Taker, or throughout the entire HHH/Austin vs Benoit/Jericho match. But when they're bad, they are sooooo awful :lol whether it's a flat out boring match (which is understandable), or a match where two wrestlers have been damaged badly or off tv for so long (Kidd vs Hawkins or something) (also understandable). But I loathe when crowds do those smark chants for no reason, just the "This Is Awesome" they've been killing every week.

I used to be into tape trade (Yes I'm referring to VHS and Yes I'm old as hell) back in the early-mid 90s and was hip to how Japanese crowds behave and their thoughts toward pro wrestling/wrestlers..I love how they seemed to, literally, be on the edge of their seats during matches..Just adds a "big fight" feel to each match..

With the US crowds it's just become so smarkish..It's like they try to start chants just for the sake of chanting..It's like the only crowds that add to the product are NYC, Chicago, and any post-WM city..I feel the crowds over here have kinda made it hard to watch a lot of the non-E promotions..TNA's crowd chant ECW anytime someone goes outside the ring..And ROH fans slap that barrier so much it's just flat out annoying and makes me change the channel..

Found this a cool read.. http://uproxx.com/prowrestling/2014...-wrestling-that-thing-everybody-likes-part-1/

Just fired up Shibata/Nagata match..And it reminded me of 2 questions I was going to ask those that frequently watch Japanese matches..

1. What is your opinion of the low metal guard rail they use?

2. What are you thoughts on the crowds in Japan compared to the US?..

View media item 1112294

Never really thought about the rail guards honestly.

The crowds thought, are definitely more respectful and can appreciate the "art" of wrestling and building up a match. When they get hot for a match though, theres nothing else like it. They get behind a underdog like Ishii or Honma like crazy and the reaction is crazy....on par with a really hot Chicago crowd for a WWE event.
 
Let's bury a great worker for months then have the beast incarnate wash him. WWE really knows how to kill talent.
 
Good looks on that article Case, I'm gonna read the Chikara as well. I hardly know anything about Chikara other than Jigsaw/Rubix being from there.

He'll be main eventing a ppv I don't see what's so bad about that. And if it does happen (most likely will) it won't be till the end if the year. Cesaro will have plenty if time to get back on track. Jerichos last day is the raw after night of champions I don't think they will drag his feud with bray past summer slam. Maybe a feud with cesaro afterwards???
 
The thing with Cesaro is, well he's been involved in nothing lately. His buzz is fading and he has no direction. Like you said, they could fix that up, put him in a feud with Jericho and get back on track, but you know how dumb this company is. Cesaro should be in a program right now that actually makes me believe he could eventually challenge Bork. Him tapping to an ankle lock immediately after barely having his ankle worked over throughout the match with Thwagga is a ******* joke.

Can Cena really lose the belt at 2 Summerslam's in a row 8o

It's a lack of respect and people wanting to be the show rather than enjoy it
 
The chants thing is a white people thing. I know this firsthand. We started a ton of random stupid chants in high school in the hallways, cafeteria, etc. just screwing around. White people like chanting ****. We get off on it.
