hogso Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Curious article, doesn't mention something of the most infamous deathmatches such as Razor Blade death matches, and the use in recent times of concrete blocks, syringes and barbecue skewers - MASADA's weapon of choice, he sticks a handful of them in his opponents head so they stick there, really gross!

hogso Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) The grossest thing about that spot was when you wondered what all the dust was - and then realised it was Mondo's flesh literally being flayed from his body O_O The Mondo documentary 'Unscarred' is on YouTube in full, worth a watch if you want to try and understand why anyone would ever allow that to be done to them for the purposes of, essentially, entertainment.

Was surreal to see Colt Cobana flyering on the streets of Edinburgh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 13, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) Watched that doc. It was good, didn't realise there were any wrestling organisations with that kind of following in the UK (I know their "big" show was only 1000 people, but still) But one thing that really annoyed me, was the big match at the end of the event. He won it, to become new champion with a Schoolboy roll up. I absolutely hate when big matches end with something like that. They've put each other through tables, jumped off stages, hit each other with chairs, fought on bars, bleeding profusely etc etc. But none of that puts the guy down for a 3 count.... then a schoolboy roll up wins the match.

hogso Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Yeah I watched it last night aswell. Getting an attendance of over 1000 for an organisation of that size is insane. CZW for example get maybe half that at most of their shows, and only slightly more for the biggest shows. They make a their money from merch and iPPV sales, though.

I think Revolution Pro Wrestling is bigger. It has had appearances from Bret Hart and Ric Flair and Sting is due to appear in April. It pulls in other decent sized US names as well along with some of the top Japanese stars. Two of it's alumin PAC and El Generico are currently wrestling on NXT in WWE. PAC is the current NXT champion wrestling as Adrian Neville. Preston City Wrestling also has a sizeable following. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Adrian Neville and Sami Zayn (El Generico) are fantastic athletes. WWE have done really well with making NXT a very good wrestling show. Rumours are that we may see the following match at Wrestlemania Cesaro, Neville, Bo Dallas and Sami Zayn vs Jack Swagger, Corey Graves and the Ascencion I did not realise that Bray Wyatt was the son of IRS and that Dallas is his brother.

Wainy316 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Yeah, I'm going to start watching NXT properly, even the Divas are good apparently. (And I get to watch Paige). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 NXT Arrival was a great show. The wrestling is very good at the moment. There is at least 1 or 2 excellent matches on every show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 How long before they show upon Raw and get crushed by Cena one by one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Anyone else get the feeling Bryan will beat HHH to get into the main event then right at the end Punk will return and either attack and cost Bryan the title thus becoming an uber mega heel or help him win? Or just wishful thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I think if Punk was to come back they'd save it for the post Mania Raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Think Punk will be off for most of the year. I really hope Wyatt goes over against Cena. Wyatt has the potential to be a massive massive star. His promos are up there with the best. Heyman is the best on the mic and Wyatt is not far behind. His promo the other day when he said 'you look up at me and you will see a friend, you look down at me and you will see an enemey, if you look eye to eye at me you will see a god' was pretty spectacular.

DiegoD Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Yeah, I'm going to start watching NXT properly, even the Divas are good apparently. (And I get to watch Paige). NXT is my favourite part of WWE. The show has a really good feel to it, its got a bit of that Indie vibe but with top quality wrestlers and better production. They also have a great commentary team (even though they mix it up a bit) which really adds to the matches. I'm actually a bit worried because they are starting to realise how popular its getting and I can only seeing them ruining it by micro managing it.

Or just wishful thinking? I can see them putting the strap on Batista. The heat he has at the moment is completely organic, he returned, won the Rumble, people hate him - that's it. They couldn't hope to get as much heat if they did something to show him as a heel. Sure, he's playing up to it now, but give him the title and he'll have unworldly levels of heat. That could set up a pretty interesting feud with Bryan who will, naturally, still be very over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
